Doubt it, it has a huge "WARNING!!!" you're going to char sign, can't miss it. There really isn't a "first" hybrid mission since it's kinda none linear, but you're about 2/3 of the way through.

I'm on the part where you kill Maar so.. i guess the first hybrid encounter mission :>
That's a couple of missions away from Char
Anyway, just finished the campaign. Gonna go play some challenges and then do my 1v1 placement matches. I'll do the hard/brutal missions/achievements from the campaign at a later point when I'm better at the game.
I played my 2v2 placement matches with my friend the other day, we won 3 of them in a row, and then we decided to actually loose 1 beacuse we're SUPER noob lol. We ended up winning 3/5 and got placed into Bronze. We were expecing to go at least gold after we played 3 wins 1 loss. Guess the game doesn't take it by win/loss alone

There was a major shift in the placement algorithm in beta after it changed from 10 placement matches to 5 and everyone could easily 5-0 and go straight into plat. However it was impossible to drop from plat (I tried, took 30 some straight losses). Their algorithm makes it very hard to drop leagues, so I think they compensated by making it harder to get into higher leagues. (5-0 is a plat, sometimes gold placement rather than auto diamond like in mid beta)

no privacy because i think they ask for your like real name and info when registering. which means players can few your real info. so if your a girl with a sexy voice, then someone can easly stalk you because of your real info you had to put down. Not sure if this is true or not... i don't have the game just read someone review of this.

How do you multi replay? Or is it really obvious...haven't checked since beta
it has its own tab, its a camera icon, and you can watch all of your recent matches and you can save ones you want to archive.

no its not true, they ask you for your first/last name during registration but you could put **** Mc Cockass and it would work, and whatever you putt as a ign shows up in your profile and nothing else unless you are facebook connected.

I'm talking about watching replays with someone else at the same time, not replays of a multiplayer game. Unless that's what you mean and I'm missing out on something.
Does the hydralisk still suck in the official release? by suck I mean: is he still stripped of his special effects like the greenish spit he had in sc1 and the bursting slimy noise when he shoots? and do the zerglings still sound like credit cards between the wheels of a bike when they attack?

I'm not an engineer or anything, but technically couldn't all concerned persons press play at the same time?
they could potentially yea, if they're in the same vent channel. but watching replays with someone is actually pretty fun sometimes, especially if you're trying to learn from each other.

Lol
So I had time to finish the Zeratul missions today, and I did the last one on hard. It took me forever, but What I did was mass turrets around the archive along with building some phoenixes, then once the bonus mission on the archive was done, I would build turrets around my base. It came down to my last units, and I finally won after 3 trys lol. Hybrids are so smexy though. I used the phoenixes to lift them up so they didnt destroy all my turrets early on. was fun. I'll post screenies later

Placed into plat with 5-0 in singles, too busy to really play and get into diamond though. Think I'll play some custom games and screw around for a while, wonder what good UMS are.
