    Default Collector's Edition Strategy Guide

    Hello everyone. I just bought this guide last week. http://www.amazon.com/Starcraft-Limi..._sim_gs_vg_1_2

    I was wondering if the stats are going to be accurate for the most part on units.

    Did anyone else buy a guide?

    The stats will never be accurate in a book since they'll be changing constantly. Sorry, but your best guides are online.

    I wasn't sure if I wanted it because a game like Starcraft is subject to change in terms of balance. I'd really like something collector-y but the CE version of the game might be enough.

    I'd be more concerned with the quality of the actual strategies (for multiplayer) in that book. Even if they do diligence on researching strategies, the metagame for SC2 is going to be evolving hourly once it's released. Any strategies, outside of basic stuff (keep making workers, etc) will quickly become outdated.

    You should never buy a guide for sc, even bw. Strategys are coming and going and some people think they know what they are talking about when they have no idea. I'd just download replays and talk to people on forums like this to see what other people think. The best strategy guide for starcraft2 is practice.

    I've been in the beta since near the begining and I went from doing a 6 reaper opening to going race specific strategys like mara/hellion. The game has evolved so much it's not even funny. Retail is going to be insane to keep up with for the next 5 years.
