Poll: What is your favorite race to play as in StarCraft?  [closed]

StarCraft is a great game. In fact, it was as good as Halo. We get Halo 2, but no SC2. Damn.

Each race has its highlights.
Terrans: Massive Battlecruisers, Nuclear Capability
Zerg: Mass in numbers, Biological Supremacy
Protoss: Awe inspiring Carriers, Futuristic Technology



The most popular strategy is most likely mass-Carriers. Theres nothing as awesome as hundereds of ships swarming and pulsing, destroying everything in your path.
My favorite is mass zerglings in a no-rush game. 400 fully upgraded lings can mean only one thing- massive destruction. Yes, you will lose a lot of lings, but its such a devastative strategy.

If you play StarCraft on battle.net, post your username and the gateway you use, and maybe some bungie fans can hook up.

My SN is Excommunicado on US West. I usually chill in the channel Hail Bungie

Starcraft rules! I got a long time ago, played trough the terran, zerg, and half the protoss campaign, but then it got to hard, so I started playing Warcraft II again (somehow I don't yhink my brain was fully evolved at that time).
Several years later, my sister found it and started playing it. I thought: Let's give it another try! and started playing it. I got trough the original campaing and the almost the entire expansion camapign (my sister had bought it), but then I got an Xbox and bought halo.
Since then I have never playedstarcraft again, but I did get very found of nuclears(It's so fun to have several nuclears, and blow every unit in a huge campaign base to bits)

The Terran are my favorite, but I'll usually play as toss, because the Dark Archons can steal other units, so then I could (potientially) build up all three races.

note: Most I've ever had is two

Zerg kicks ass. I'll challenge any one of you to a duel with me as a Zerg. They are next to unstoppable.

yeah you can build some quick zealots and swarm them before they even have the chance to build a defense. i hate it when people use this cheap tactic.

Mass hydralisk are invincible there is just no way to beat them, especially when you also have some defilers to back them up with darkswarm. Plus if you have mass hatcheries they are easily replenished.

...but I also like the mass carriers and a few arbiters too that works well, you can freeze all their units destroy their base and escape to safety before the freeze wears off it rocks.

I love the hydra stratagy, but the Carrier thing looks really hard to keep going. Once your first attack of Carriers dies then you'll be in big trouble because they take so long to get built and supplied with interceptors.

I had this problem once. Download the patch off the blizzard web site and install it before launching starcraft, that should take care of that issue.

I hate playing on Bnet, its all about playing stupid maps that let you rush soo fast that I get 100 enemies landing on my base before I have over 50 units to attack with. Cheap. I have a blizzard account of Klurejr, so add me if you want, I have not been on bnet with starcraft in a long time...

Oh yeah, I like playing as the protoss cause your workers don't have to hang out to make a building, they start the warp and can leave to do other things, The ground cannons are cool, but weak against long ranged attacks, the carriers are pretty good, but take forever to build. As stated above though, the best reason to go protoss if you can mind control opposing units, having two or three races to play is tough, but is a guarenteed win if you know what you are doing. It is the only way in the game that you can have over 200 units. Of course this only works on maps with high resource counts.

anyways....

That is why you have to use the hit and run to keep all of your carriers alive you can't just send em in to die like you can with hydra... If you use the arbiters to stasis all their units and then the interceptors will take all the hits from the defensive units u can kill a lot of base and then run before they can even hurt a carrier that is a good strategy, but if you have hydra and you put dark swarm over ur army you can easily own carriers so I still think that zerg are the best.

I love the hydra stratagy, but the Carrier thing looks really hard to keep going. Once your first attack of Carriers dies then you'll be in big trouble because they take so long to get built and supplied with interceptors.

I loved the terran tanks.

Build an army of tanks and go on a rampage.

They can kill friendly units when you expand them though.
