StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

the CPU is more important with this game because there will be a LOT of units on screen at once, but i'm thinking you could pull it off with an X2 @ 2.2Ghz. i know the game is plenty playable on most dual core processors so i would guess it would be fine. i posted the official system requirements on page one and the minimum cpu is along the lines of a 2.6 GHz Pentium® IV or equivalent AMD Athlon® processor

Yes it can run the game...on low settings.

I just started my campaign today; i'm about half way done with brutal, and somehow the moebius mission was super easy compared to everything around it. Weird maybe I cheated.

Was hoping it would be enough for at least medium settings, will think about it then, maybe see if I can find something else for a good price. Thank you!

Thank you EXCellR8, When I looked at the minimum CPU being 2.6 GHz, I didn't realize that this requirement would be less if the processor were dual core so that my x2 @2.2 GHz would still be enough processor for this game.

My confusion is based on the fact that I do not have an understanding of how much more effective a dual core processor is than a single when looking at computer game requirements.

wow can't imagine playing the (already challenging enough on Normal) game on brutal difficulty. i'm stuck with 3 different missions and with my last attempt on Moebius Factor i was ready to bust my keyboard over my knee. it's already taken a few fist slams though so i guess i will spare it... FOR NOW!!

Heh, its because I played too much starcraft.
Moebius looked like massively chaotic mission at first glance though for whatever reason it seems that the data cores are not particularly hard to kill and the path to them via drop ship is laid quite open. I didn't think they would let you get away with something so simple but it was just drop near the end of your time frame -> go back -> drop brutalisk -> go back -> drop second core -> come back -> scan -> drop third core. O.o.

EDIT:
Funny I just finished the campaign with 25/26 missions...and it turns out I can't go back finish the last protoss mission D:.
Have to reload an old saved game.

Welp, I caved and bought the game . No regrets, either. If you're interested in crushing a newb (aka me) in some 1v1s or whatever, PM me on TS and we can hook up.

Only a couple of missions were tasking on normal. Majority of it seemed to be "Here is a new unit, build lots of them, win". Can't imagine the last level on hard or brutal though... I had 3 bunkers, 3 missile turrets and 6 perdition turrets at each entrance to the base area with SCVs and medics to try and keep them all repaired.

IDK I just used marines+medics through most of the game.

Since i'm on a guest pass (funny, I guess blizzard correctly deduced that single player would be pirated immediately, so they let guest passes have unlimited single player) I can't play you battlenet.
