/sigh
Why do you make me do this?

"The sequel is confirmed to feature only the original three playable races from the previous games: the Protoss, the Zerg, and the Terrans; there will be no fourth race, not even the Zerg/Protoss hybrid that appeared in a mission in Brood War."

You really need to obsess about this more.

I am obsessed, I'm just obsessed with hope instead of facts. It's more fun.

Yes!!!
I am glad there are no plans for MMO.

Also, looks like they are making the best part about starcraft better. Supposed to have massive army capabilities.

one of my favorite things to do with Zerg is get huge huge swarms.

Noticed the Xel Naga supposed to be a big part. I wonder if it is what they did with the Demon Race. Was supposed to be playable, but in order to balance the game, they had to make them only in the single campaign.

Obviously the hybrid will be super powerful, you couldn't balance them really since it is all the good things about Zerg and Protoss together.

I am just excited.  But... since it is Blizzard, probably have to wait 2 years before it comes out.

I'd bet this will be out for Christmas. Blizzard knows their reputation for endlessly delaying games, so they obviosuly didn't even tell us about this one until it's a long, long way along. Based on the gameplay video, I bet the units are pretty much done and balanced, and now they're just working on the campaigns and maps.

Could be. Especially easy if they did as they said, cut and paste the old units basically and throw in a few new tricks.

But, I never give Blizzard benefit of the the doubt when it comes to release dates. Although, I prefer that to the typical EA strategy, throw as many games at the wall as physically possible and hope a few of em stick, maybe even create a version 1.2 for some of em and of course a pricey expansion, but nothing else.

If it makes it out before the 10-year anniversary of Starcraft, I will be surprised.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Hate to rain on your parade, Fell, but Blizz VP Rob Pardo said today that the only certainty about the game's release is that it won't be in 2007.

There have always been hero units in SC, it was the extreme micromanagement and required leveling of the WC3 heroes that bugged me.

More distressing to me is the line about keeping the 200 unit control hard limit. I was really hoping to get some absurdly epic battles in SC2.

Ok.. unlimited unit grabs.. FINALLY Blizzard took one from C&C's book.

Do you have any idea how annoying it was to make 10 unit groups of zerglings just to run them into a base behind some ultras and hydras?

I hated that.

The terran section is up now, but there's no new movie, just some unit descriptions.
