Terrans for da Noobz

Although I have not tried any of the other races yet, I greatly enjoy playing with Terrans, the race similar to humans. So if you are struggling to play with Terrans, then here are a few tips for how to fend off and completely wreck your enemies.

*****NOTE*****
This strategy works BEST on Terrans. Both Protoss and Zerg have early units with true sight.

     Ok all you Terrans out there when building a base you ALWAYS want to have sensor towers on each point of your bases, with these you can detect all visible units movement. In between the sensors you should build missile turrets so you can detect those pesky banshees and dark templars that come a-snoopin in your base. Now then, depending on wheather you want to go air, ground, or a combination, the strategies will diverge here.

Ok if you are going air:
you will want 2-3 starports
Ok, so send all of your SCV's on minerals and get 1 more
keep getting SCV's till you have 9, then build supply depots till u have about 20 population and continue building supply depots throughout the entire game (obviously, only n00bs dont know that!)
start getting some minerals and build 3 barracks, then a factory, then a starport and a tech lab
With 2 of the barracks get tech labs quickly and start pumpin out marauders. With the third get a (oh whats it called...) well...the other attachment and start pumping out marines faster than zergling rushers
Now you will want to extend, get an SCV and send it to a mineral field and build a base(build a bunch of SCV's once its done)
build ur second starport and get a tech lab and build a fusion core
after both buildingts are done, build another base at a 3rd mineral field(when its done get a bunch of SCV's) and build another starport
Now with 2 starports make tech labs on both of them and start pumping out banshees.
with the 3rd starport get a reactor (just remembered the name! yessssss)and start to spam some vikings
Once you have about 20 - 30 vikings and 10-15 banshees you should attack.
Attack with the vikings and then cloack the banshees and attack from the side of their base quickly taking out all their SCV's, their base, and production facilities

Now for all you n00bz out there I'm sure you are wondering why I don't get battlacruisers. Welll, the truth is is that they REALLY suck. For what you pay for them Thors are far superior and give you more bang for your buck.
