Official Starcraft 2 Discussion Thread

I just read all 15 pages of posts just because it was Starcraft related, that all pumped I am for this game. I am so excited, I can't bare it. I hope they make its Campaign/Map Editor like the one they did in Warcraft 3. Customed units, all kinds of trigger effects, and what not would be great. You do so much on eithr game, from Mass games to RPGs and Hero/Unit Wars. Starcraft is not only a RTS, the editor in the right hand could spawn so much more mini-types of genres..

Are they going to add more units to Terran? Because it seems unfair that it only gets one new unit. phatkav

I get it. I was wondering why all the images show the Protoss pwning other races and all the gameplay videos were about them.  

Alright. I didn't play the first one, but I probably get this along with Spore.:) I can sense a GOTY here.Wanderer5

Is it hard getting into now? Doesn't it only run at 640x480? I'm not a graphics whore but thats a damn low res... I heard single players only 5 hours too. 0_odarklord888

Well, there's a Warcraft III mod that allows you to play Starcraft using the WC3 engine. So that's for the graphics. But the campaign. Lemme tell you man, the reason why Starcraft survived as long as it did IS the campaign (for me, the fantastic gameplay was the bonus).

I could get it, But for some reason I don't play games from the 90's that much these days. So I don't know if I play it that much or not.:P At least I know where to get Starcaft if I plan to get it(a Fryz near me have it).

Well I see if I get it or not. It does look fun. Hey, can you play as the Zerg in the game?:P

New topic: I just seen the pictures for this game(I didn't realized there were some), and it look good.

Edit: I just got Starcraft.:)

Hey, can you play as the Zerg in the game?:PWanderer5

It wouldn't be Starcraft if you couldn't! :)

Anyways, Starcraft 2 = Best game of this generation. :D

If Starcraft 2 is better then the original Starcraft then my life is ruined.

The first Starcraft was boring for me. They should have made another Diablo game.Neal_Gore

Diablo 3 is likely their next project.

Try 6 hours, some of those rpg - maps have you playing thru it for hours.. Anyone got into the D&D maps for Starcraft.

Sarcasm? 

How can anybody hate on this game? How can anybody hate on any of Blizzard's games?

The company has always brought out games with considerable polish, thought, and with a very high level of quality. They are industry leaders and have a very large fanbase because their games have always been outstanding.

That said, this game is going to rule my life when it comes out. It's going to be awesome.

Can you edit your original post to include a link to an official news story?

It seems to be Xbox children who are getting excited after seeing crap like halo wars. I'm sure racist 14 year olds are the ultimate authority when it comes to quality real time strategyNorthlandMan

Halo Wars? What's that? I seem to remember some kind of RTS game that was supposedly coming to the Xbox 360 that was based on a very popular gaming franchise, but I forgot all about it about 36 hours ago....hmmmmm.... 

I loved starcraft and was worried they'd jack it up with a sequel by losing the artistic direction of the original by focusing on graphics.

The graphics look a lot like the old ones (but 3d), so I'm loving it.  Why mess with a masterpiece?

They are similar in terms of artistic style, but the graphics are MUCH better. So are the physics and the mechanics. Did you see the gameplay video? It looks terrific.

I like the fact that Nukes look 50x better but sound exactly the same.  That nuke-alarm noise is an essential part of one of the most terrifying scenarios I've ever encountered in all my years of gaming.  WHERE IS IT?  WHERE IS THE RED DOT?  TIME'S A-WASTIN', WHERE'S THE RED DOT???  They do seem to have changed the nearly-invisible dot into a huge, Akira-esque 3D animated disc; maybe this is to account for the change in map sizes?  I look forward to doing Lockdowns with War3's enhanced shift-queue logic, which is sure to reappear in SC2, because it worked perfectly in War3.

Words.

Dude, keep it up.  I think I'm actually starting to get high on SCII hype.  I keep waking up and thinking "Today is a great day.  All is right in the world, now that Blizzard has announced Starcraft II."  Just knowing about the game is like a mood elevating drug.

I haven't been this excited about a game announcement, ever.

It's destroying my capacity for rational thought.  Every time Starcraft 2 crosses my mind it turns it to mush.  That's why I can't hype it in a more coherent manner.

Starcraft II !!!!!!!!

Is there any video that shows the initial reaction of people who atteneded Blizzard's event? I really want to see the look on Koreans people face when they discovered the game was Starcraft 2. phatkav

Im guessing it looked something like this:
