Starcraft 2

Well if you look in the sc2 forums they said it would be released this year... of course that is like 10 months left in this year :evil:

But I hope the wait will be worth it afterall they said the three games are as long as the original campaigns combined were.

BACK AGAIN!



say what! god damn i suck at WC3 :(

lol well atleast it is based on region or else only Koreans will have the beta. As it is now though... top 20? Geez talk about high requirments

They have been saying that for like 6 years now. I'll say it's coming out around 2042 give or take a year.

Also Starcraft was a work of art and I don't think 2 will ever be able to top it. But i'll keep anopen mind for now.

SC2 isn't going to be like the SC that we all know and love, that's for sure. They've put a shitload of new units, new commands, and new abilities. Rushes are now a sure thing, like a squad of Reapers jumping over cliffs and shit, much like the roving Colossuses that also have the same ability. It makes ramp choking a thing of the past. And Protoss, with the ability to warp in units from anywhere through a pylon's psi field or that movable pylon, it gets rid of the arbiter's recall ability and adds a pretty dangerous yet handy element to the game. Also, SC2 does restrict grouping to 12 units, which now I pretty glad they did because that was annoying, selecting 12 units at a time to attack.

SC2 is going to be wild, but I don't it'll be as beloved as SC ever was and still is.

Weren't you supposed to be able to group 24 units? Or is my memory messing with me?

Your memory is messing with you. As for quality of the game, it is Blizzard, they have always delivered. As long as the follow ups are cheaper then the Terren campaign, I'm ok with it

=P lol reminds me of the good old days xD i remember getting my World of Warcraft beta key from that =p

If there is any god RTS game.... Starcraft is it.

Heh, the April Fools videos were pretty cool. Go Transformers!

They should have the Terra-tron in the finished game, definitely.

Second Battle Report is out. Link

Terran vs. Zerg

Watched it last night, and one thing that always annoys me with these battle reports is that they never show any of the more powerful troops, like Battlecruiser and Thor, they always run around trying to micro shit, but they suck at it.

Ahh.. Starcraft, those days were fun, and im sure is still it is today.
And yes it has been a long time, until finally! SCII! Cannot wait!
In SC1 and BW, I have entered alot of tournaments, won 25 and lost 6.

On my account i have 5325 wins, 2283 losses.

Instead showing us battle reports, why don't they reveal the entire fucking production line of all the races? They're pulling these units out of their asses with no explanation of what they can do. Roaches? Queens that can attack? Marauders? Knight Hawks? Mules? Spine Crawlers? Overlords that can spread creep? Wtf? Explain them!

They have shown them.

The problem is that a lot of the explanation of the new stuff are either spread everywhere or obscure. Most of the time, I just look at the front page of the website, and if nothing is new, move on. I haven't bothered to look at the gameplay videos beyond the first ones.

*cough*

Starcraft 2

They don't explain the unit/building stats nearly enough. For example, on the site they reveal that zerg have three units, yet here in the gameplay video we're being shown all these new buildings and units with no real explanation. The only thing I learned about roaches is that they have 100hp and regenerate fast and have a limited range attack. They completely skimped over the queen in the fact that it can actually attack as well as the queen's abilities. Then the Spine Crawler - wtf is that? A replacement of a sunken colony? If so, it seems to do a shitty job since I couldn't see it attack anything in the video. Apparently the hatchery can spawn more than three larvae, and overlords can make creep?

Basically my point is that they they made this video with no prior introduction of its units and buildings, and when they do introduce them, it's half-assed since it's a battle report. They're pulling all these new things out of their asses that aren't on the main site.
