Starcraft Ii Delayed... Again...

[H-A-X-O-R-Z]

Today we announced that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will not be ready for release by the end of 2009. Over the past couple of weeks, it has become clear that it will take longer than expected to prepare the new Battle.net for the launch of the game. The upgraded Battle.net is an integral part of the StarCraft II experience and will be an essential part of all of our games moving forward. This extra development time will be critical to help us realize our vision for the service.

I'd be tempted to call Vaporware on it, if it were not for what's been released about the game.

Maaaaan, if I cared about this at all I would be so pissed right now, but I don't so I'm not.

But I feel for you brothas!

Not trying to flame, but have you ever really played the original Starcraft? And I'm not talking about it's mediocre campaign. I'm talking about playing online against real people.

I like starcraft 1 anyways... its good to play on those lazy Saturdays when you have nothing else to do

you make yourself sound like a total douche

[dodgyant]

Well, all I can say is, it better be good when it bloody comes out.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

No surprise at all. Why the smiley face in the topic title. You're a sick man.

The fact that Blizzard follows this same process for every game they release should also deter you.

[Sekhem]

I just hope Diablo III doesn't get delayed to hell like this. I actually am looking forward to that game.

[Grubby]

Yay! Now I can but Halo 3: ODST AND Modern Warfare 2 this year.

It supposedly won't, if Blizzard is telling the truth. Diablo 3 doesn't need any help getting delayed to all hell though; Blizzard titles have a way of doing that on their own. I wouldn't be surprised if it's pushed to 2011.

Meh, there are better RTS's out there.

[zimzap]

How can a game without a public release date be delayed?

Craftfag alert!

Please go play Tiberium Dawn, Red Alert 1 and 2, Age of Empires, and Total annihilation.

All of those are much better than SC.

Seriously, I'll just end up playing Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed II while waiting for Starcraft II to finally come out.

Because I knew it would piss off fans, while I don't give a shit about the game.

I agree, Starcraft seems over-rated. Though I would have swapped Age of Empires for DoW DC.

Wings of Liberty?

That is a fucking awful subtitle.

Besides that, only Blizzard EXPANSIONS have subtitles. What's up with this?

Just Starcraft II would suffice.

Okay first off AGE OF EMPIRES SUCKS ASS! There I said it. It requires no macromanagement whatsoever.

Okay, response: StarCraft II is broken into 3 campaigns: Terran, Zerg and Protoss, and the three are all parts of Starcraft 2. Now, if you wanna make reference to one of the three SC2 Games, you gotta say wings of liberty, heart of the swarm, and legacy of the void. If you wanna talk releases, we assume you are adressing Wings of Liberty.

StarCraft 2 is all 3 games.

That explain it?

[HuntersMoon]

dont you remember how much they delayed warcraft 3?

[laorithe6606]

How long?

Doesn't surprise me much.

If we have to pay for the new battle.net, like WoW, then I'm not gonna bother for the online.

I heavily doubt that. It'd be pretty wrong to charge for Battle.net, seeing as it's been a free service all these years.

They already confirmed its absolutely free to use. But they hinted there might be extra stuff you can pay for like DLC.
