Official Starcraft 2 Thread.

[FBIpolux]

All right.

Starcraft 2.

Coming out soon. When it'll be out, this shall remain the official SC2 Thread.

What is Starcraft 2?

Starcraft 2 is the Sequel of the most popular RTS of all times (of all times yo), Starcraft, a Blizzard game (quality shit). It is of course a RTS, taking place in a (distant) future. Basically if you don't know what the hell Starcraft is, you really deserve a good spank so I'll stop describing it right now.

All you need to know is that there's 3 races; Protoss, Zergs and Terrans.

Here's a gameplay trailer of SC2:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Having played a fairly decent amount of Warcraft III ladder games, an insane amount of Starcraft I Fastest and Ladder games, and a mad amount of Use Map Settings / Custom games, I really can't wait to experience the SCII gameplay, campaign, graphics and new units. The new Map Editor also looks pretty amazing. I can't wait to play with it. The fact you can make First Person Shooter / 3rd Person / Arcade games is so amazing it left me in awe when my friend told me about it a few weeks ago.

The only sad thing is that the game is about 99% over and ready. The only thing stopping the game from being in my god damn computer is Battle.net 2.0.

Battle.net 2.0 is a new and improved version of Battle.net that will rely every Blizzard games together (Kinda like Steam) and that will merge every chats / friend lists / etc. together. So basically someone playing World of Warcraft will be able to talk to someone playing Starcraft II without having to switch game. But it looks like it's taking forever for them to finish up BNET 2.0, pushing the SCII release to future dates.

Meanwhile, we can always jack off to gameplay trailers on YouTube. (not really)

And...
You must construct additional Pylons.

Discuss Starcraft II. Your thoughts? Your expectations? Your Clan (I suggest we start a NG clan whenever it comes out)?

Blah!

I basically grew up on Starcraft, it was pretty much the first game that I ever spent a lot of time on.

I can honestly say that I wouldn't be nearly as interested in games if it weren't for Starcraft, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

SC2 is SC with a GFX overhaul. SC is Dune except more commercial.

good job blizzard another masterpiece my god blizzard your games sure the epitome of innovation just like halo you and microsoft are the best thing to ever happen to gaming

[RazorHawk]

To tell the truth, I'm actually more interested in Diablo III than Starcraft II, but I'll definitely pick them both up when they become available. Regardless, I was pretty addicted to Starcraft back in the day, and I like what they've done with the sequel. However, my only problem is trying to follow the storyline, because I was way more interested in the online play rather than the campaigns.

Still, can't wait for all those player made defense games. Great opportunities to kill time.

Yeah, Diablo 3 ain't coming out for a good two years, at least. So have fun freezing yourself up waiting :P

[AgentXRifle]

Well...hopefully its as good as it looks... even if its not, we still have the 1st starcraft! HOPEFULLY they fix battle net, and make if much more efficient!

[jwalker7595]

Pretty sure Battle.net 2.0 will be almost flawless. Thus why it's taking so long to release it.

Doesn't have to be.

Starcraft 2... I can't wait for this game. I'm interested in Diablo 3 as well, but since there's no Necromancer in it, I can say that I was a little dissapointed. The Witch Doctor just isn't the same thing.

Does anyone here watch the "Battle Reports" for Starcraft 2? They are basically Blizzard made gameplay footage of the game, you can find it on the Starcraft 2 sites.

Here's the latest Battle Report. Go watch it now.

Pretty sure Starcraft II is on the news every day in Korea :P

[MrPercie]

I didnt play starcraft 1 or the warcrafts but I have been intrested to. I will most likely get starcraft 2 because the terrans (or humans) space marines just look so cool and makes me want to play. But I suck at RTS but I will still play it.

[iluvdubbing]

SC2 has a map editor like in WC3 thats a good thing...

but i hope they fix the battle.net.....its kinda laggy specially here in the Philippines

[iluvdubbing]

you should first play on SC1 to master terrans because many things are fixed in SC2 that bugs on the first game

Well the game is pretty much the same except for WAY better graphics and hundreds of additions. :)

[RDSchley]

a great man once told me:

starcraft 3 will come out before starcraft 2's beta will.

Yeah thats the annoyance.

Because even the people who made fable 2, an english company still released it in america first because they were the majority that wanted it.

I mean why cant they just release the beta to everyone or release the beta only to one country that no one knows about like uzbekistan getting the fist Modern warfare 2 beta.

I just wanted to spread the news in case you hadn't mentioned. Plus, I was kind of on the run on that day (almost late for dentist's appointment). Anyway, who can blame me for wanting to share this awesome video with others?

Haha, that's cool.

Yeah those Battle Reports are nice, except for the fact that the commenter get really annoying when they go hyper over a probe fighting a SCV.

[Grubby]

Starcraft is honestly the 2nd PC game I've ever played in my life (Age of Empires was the 1st)

This game is an ultimate RTS. It's graphics are timeless, they looked great back then, they're still passable today.

I really can't wait to see the next stage of Starcraft. It's almost like the next gaming "stage" of my life lol.

[Leathertoast]

I can't wait till Starcraft 2 comes out... The only problem is that I'll probably get so addicted that I'll forget to eat and eventually I'll take my eyes off of my bright computer screen in my dark room and notice that my entire body has been rotting due to malnutrition.

Just been wondering one thing though... Starcraft was a diagonal-grid-based game. Warcraft 3 was a checkerboard-grid-based game. Will Starcraft 2 be diagonal again, or checkerboard? I prefer checkerboard because it's easier to organize things (for me) in the World Editor, but then again since Starcraft 2 will be 3D unlike the first one, who knows what they could do.

[FBIpolux]

Starcraft 2 will be full 3D.

Basically you'll be able to play a first person shooter game with the SC2 engine.

June 2010? I hope not.

No... the main reason it ain't out yet is Battle.net 2.0. It has to be out on World of Warcraft at the same time...

[FBIpolux]

Should check out Blizzard's channel on YouTube.

They got all the Battle Reports here in good quality.
