http://www.starcraft2.com/images/screenshots/ss49-hires.jpgOkay, so for the first time ever, I saw a Starcraft 2 commercial on line..

I used to play Starcraft for days, years ago, until I moved on to Age of Empire..

Anyhow.. This looks incredible.

Rumoured to come out for this holiday season..

[SilentJay]

Can't hold your breath for the release date being accurate when it comes to Blizzard though... I've been looking forward to this, but the system requirements for this would cause my computer to spontaneously combust :complain

[Fuman]

Jeff, go download the Protoss and Terran trailers in High Quality from the site.
You'll drool!

[WLS ZMZM]

"ooh, I think I found a quarter!"

[baymoe]

I'm godlike in UMS games.

[iconicrocket]

Saw both demos. Really impressive. New unit galore and new structures too.

[dr1ft3r]

Whats the new race called?

[whiteomega]

Futureshop has the release date (optimistically, if you ask me) set for Aug. 30, 2008...sorry to burst anyone's bubble about SC2 ;)

i think the Xel Naga is the new race....and the trailer is so big because it's an HD trailer ;)

[Dan Da Man]

ill have to buy a new computer just for games to run it. haha

[chinsterr]

ill have to buy a new computer just for games to run it. haha

I think the majority of us will have to !


Is anyone else bothered by the fact that game play is very similar to warcraft3 ? IE) the way maps are set up and such.

I know SC was 2-d but its simplicity is what made it a hit.

[Garu]

[JonsMazda]

Thats HARDCORE! Sick! U prolly spent lots of dough on this baby huh..

[Garu]

Yea... and lots of time too! You have to be patient when working on it and also on collecting parts as well!! :chuckle

[JonsMazda]

Where did u get ur parts if i may ask..

[Fuman]

Garu you NERD!! but its okay.. I'm a nerd too.
I'm just too lazy to do water cooling.

your pc looks great, so clean!
That 8800 is hugee

[Jeff-TheBiz]

E6700 Core 2 Duo
8800 GTX vcard!!!

Nice setup... I always laugh when I think of a computer being water cooled..

I just got myself a Quad Core with 4GB of Ram, problem is I went with vista, and my video card is sh!t..

I agree 100% never liked warcarft3 or even AofE3.. too involved.

[Garu]

Where did u get ur parts if i may ask..

Most of them from ebay, believe me it took over a month to collect all parts. But watercooling parts from directly manufacture, danger den.

[WLS ZMZM]

wow thats an impressive unit!! I don't even want to know how much $$ you spent on that..... gotta love a water cooled unit....

[dr1ft3r]

does anyone know the requirements for the game? or not released yet?

[royroy]

omg brandon... never knew u were that nerdy... lol

[chinsterr]

I just hope my quadcore (Q6600) with 8800GT will be able to play it :) hahaha

[DrunknFoo]

Waiting for Korean beta to start. I wish they just release an open beta soon

woo hoo

[Go_Habs_Go]

May 31st!! and the date may still change? :-(

gawd when will they ever release this game!! Let's hope its out before NEXT xmas lol

[SilentJay]

Quad Q9550 + Dual SLi 8800GT + 4GB DDR2 RAM... Possibly not enough to run this game in high detail? :chuckle


:P Actually, i'd be kinda sad if that happened *sigh*

[Soyabean]

Man, i was waiting so long for this game. Starcraft was supposed to come out with a FPS version with Kerrigan as the shooter or something but it wasnt successful.

Anyways, this game is way too hardcore for my comp to run.

Anyone wanna play me in starcraft 1? lol. I still remember the days. "4v4 BGH, NR10" hahah.

Im gonna brag here, i dont remember if this is good or bad but i used to be able mutalisk rush a little over 5 mins. Was the past though, play me now and i worker rush u lol

[SilentJay]

lol - I remember being sooo weak in the beginning... My buddies always protected me till about mid-game, then i'd just flood the map with units :P


:) I remember playing in a Bnet ranked game - One of the tactics I used was to simply flood the opponents' base with overlords. Soooo many that they couldn't even click their own units. Great success.
