Starcraft II


Recommended Posts

For those of you who play or used to play and don't know Starcraft II was just announced on Saturday! starcraft2.com for the video's. So what do you guys think? I can't wait, it's still in about pre-alpha but although it's unlikely I'm hoping for an early 2008 release.

I played Starcraft and Starcraft: Broodwar, and could never get enough.

 

I am so excited about the new one.

 

You know everybody SAYS it is in pre-alpha, but some people say it is coming out in October, and if it does come out in October then that will be amazing!

 

The graphics in the game play video look great though.

 

Some people are disappointed though. Others were hoping for Diablo III.

 

I'm so glad Blizzard decided to make Starcraft II instead! :D

 

One quick question:

 

What happened to the FPS they were making. I think it was called Starcraft: Ghost or something like that.

Blizzard said Ghost has been, "Indefinitly postponed" although there is speculation about it.

 

I think It's probally in Alpha and that we will see it in late October, early November time. If not April 1st for Starcrafts 10th anniversary.

I'm glad it's starcraft II, I wouldn't have minded a Diablo III though. Just glad it's not Warcraft IV or another WoW expansion lol.

 

The graphics do look awesome, the new 3D engine can sure do a lot. Protoss look amazing and the banelings(exploding zerglings) looks interesting lol.

Hmmm, maybe Ghost will come out in April 1st, and Starcraft II in November. Well we will just have to wait and see, lol.

 

Yes I agree the 3D engine is amazing. The Protoss have progressed in their technology a lot farther, which is great!

 

The only thing that I am not happy with the Protoss is that they took out my DT's :( I'm okay with the goons being out, becuase the immortals are a lot better but not the DT's. They were my fav. But oh well. I can't wait to see the zerg units and buildings. I hope they didn't take out the lurks or hydras.

 

What was your fav. species?

Yea hopefully April, so expect August. Blizzard ALWAYS releases stuff late lol.

 

Protoss are my favorite and Zerg are a close second. I'll probably play 'toss so long as not everyone is playing them.

Yea the always do.

 

Same here Protoss and Zerg. Terran aren't really that good, but in Starcraft II they look promising. Especially the Reapers!

Yea they were. I loved the siege tanks and the jets...forgot their name...arhh can't remember....oh well. They were the Terran jets that can cloak themselves. Those were my fav. units.

 

Yes there is a counter for everything. Blizzard is trying to make the game more balanced.

Starcraft was already pretty balanced compared to other RTS games. I didn't expect it to be released this year. The game looks like it's built for currently new technology, so it would be a while before most PCs could handle it anways.

Actually the Starcraft II is pretty much like Sims 2. So if your computer can handle Sims 2 pretty well I don't think Starcraft II will be a prob.

 

 

I think SC II will be good, but if they take out all of the favorite units then nobody will play it. Like they took out the goons. Goons were everybody's favorite unit.
