The scale isn't there . units move just like they do in original SC. company of heroes, supreme commander, and that other WW3 RTS coming out showed what they can do w/ graphics and gameplay these days. Just from the gameplay movies and screenshots, I'm beginning to be dispointed

I take it you don't like StarCraft 1 then?

blasphemy.. I LOVED starcraft 1. I just don't want a reskinned sc 1.

Yeah...no one really wants SC2 to be like that. Gotta give it more a chance though, it was just announced 4 hours ago. I'm hoping it'll be something new and not just basic RTS rules and stuff...ie, defend, get supplies, build lots of buildings, create a buttload of units, attack, and repeat. RTS' and MMORPGs are due for a makeover.

When was the last time Blizzard let down with a game release? Sources point to "never"

TA was better then SC1; wouldn't be surprised if SC is better than SC2.

For starters, It looks like you can select 20-32 units at a time, rather than just 12.

That alone is worth playing SC2 for.

 

[Acanthus]

All they have to do is upgrade the graphics engine, and add a few units, and the game will go multiplatinum.

Itd be very hard for blizzard to mess it up.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

interesting...there have been a lot of good rts games recently...CoH, Medieval II, C&C, SupCom.

 

[0roo0roo]

omg..i just jizzed a little when i saw the screen shot

and they put out a new starcraft1 patch too!!

can't wait, starcraft was the best rts out there

 

[TecHNooB]

Oh man oh man, what are teh progamers gonna do now? Split proleague? Great news btw. DEFINITELY GETTING THIS! (when it comes out..)

edit: BTW, the USE MAP SETTINGS games will be AMAZING for SC2

 

[Atheus]

I *really* hope you can zoom out from that close-in view shown in the screen shots. I actaully find it impossble to play the new C&C becuase it feels like being trapped in a little box specifically designed to prevent me contolling my units.

 

[MetalMat]

They dont need to add another race. And if is just a better looking version of starcraft 1 I will just go ahead and stick to Dawn of War.

Good point.

 

[dugweb]

I knew i would never make it through college... and this game will be why

 

[TecHNooB]

The music from the cinematic trailer sounds like it could be from the new batman

 

[Sinsear]

This should be awesome

 

[Juno]

koreans are going to die, yeah.

 

[potato28]

"...In other news South Korea has called a national holiday in the name of Blizzard's Starcraft 2..."

 

[Tiamat]

nice

 

[darkxshade]

youtube has 2(out of 3, can't find the 3rd) videos of Blizzard introducing the units in the game:

[TheAdvocate]

Hell no, the entire WC series can die in a fire. Starcraft 2!!!

Sh*t yeah!

 

[Gunslinger08]

I'd be happier to hear about WC4 or Diablo 3.

 

[Paddington]

Just remember to add 3 years to whatever Blizzard claims is the release date.

My guess: this thing isn't coming out before 2011.

 

[Legendary]

Remember, it's Pre-Alpha right now, so lots of things can change. The only things that won't change are the things they announced.
When has Blizzard ever failed us?

Looks quite good, although it doesn't show much.

Looks Awesome! Thanks!
