posted this in the sc2 faq thread, but just thought i'd put in a word here as well.
i was a bit lazy to drive to the shops to buy physical cd sc2 so i did the sgd109 digital purchase (yes yes i know it's more expensive), cos i already previously downloaded sc2 for ... evaluation purposes (ahem).
but after linking to my bnet acct and etc, wah ... suddenly found out that SEA and US versions of the purchase not inter-compatible with the SEA and US versions of the game. so i can't play, cos bought SEA but only have US installation.
re-downloading from bnet, at the current rate, will take 8 days of full non stop downloading.
any of you kind souls willing to help me out by allowing me to bring a portable hdd over to your place to copy your installation directory so i don't have to wait a week+ to play?

QUOTE(kianweic @ Aug 2 2010, 08:37 PM) Just get a friend to download for you.
Or ask them to pass a copy of the client. i don't have any gamer friends, lol. which is kind of why I'm asking here and hoping with fingers crossed that someone here is willing to let me drop by his house to copy the files  latest update is 360mb of 6.99gb - About 117 hours remaining, lol. Damn slow lah, streamyx is giving me 14-15k/sec only ...  well ... i suppose i can ahem skirmish practice build orders for the next few days in the meantime ...

So anyway, Starcraft II's single player campaign has a few 'legacy' units from SC1 - Medics, Vultures, Goliaths, Science Vessels. These units probably weren't part of Multiplayer plans at all, but just added into campaign for flavor/whatever.
But then - what's the deal with the Spectres? They weren't in SC1, so they are a new unit in SC2. But multiplayer still uses Ghosts, so Spectres are campaign only. Which even then, hardly anyone used them at all in the campaign.
Anyway, speaking of custom games, where's a good place to learn of the best/good custom games? For example I know about Nexus Wars and SC2parasite because someone intro'ed them in this forum. How do I know of others?
