Hydralisks have always had the giant scythe hands.
It’s over…FUCKING OVER!!!
November 20th…
GGPO work, school…LIFE!!!
And as long as the involves Kerrigan getting gangraped my Templars…and I do mean COAL SAUSAGED gangraped…I will enjoy this game.
Zealot = Draenie Warrior
O.o
I personally hope that the maps aren’t too large. You remember Supreme Commander, and the hype machine behind it… Worlds so large, blah blah blah… Haven’t heard a sqeak about it since C&C. I’m more concerned about online play and compatability issues with pc requirements.
Also, it’s scheduled to come out in November 2007- not 5 years from now…
People are already pulling release dates out of their asses, how fun. From the Blizzard FAQ Page:
Even if Blizzard actually gives a release date, it’s most likely going to extend itself past that date by a minimum of 3-6 months. It’s Blizzard. Man, I am beyond psyched for this game. I am already planning out my new computer system.
Cool…my new PC parts are on the way.
It will be all to the good…:tup:
It’s not as if we haven’t been waiting a long time already… The fact that it has been Officially announced and in such a grandiose way is proof enough that it will be out… If its out end of the year- fine, if not, it’s still okay because it’s coming!!!
When released, are we expecting BNet to crash severly when the Koreans get online? I remember when SC1 went online and apparently the Koreans crashed every server like a bunch of locusts…moving from one to another…
Some additional video w/ nice commentary on gameplay!!! I’ve came 10 times already…

“Hell, it’s about time…”
You damn right it is. 2007=one, if not THE best year to be a gamer, and to go broke as well. I just hope this isn’t Vista only.
I was thinking the same thing. I think to compensate for this, they’re going to get launched and detonated a lot faster.
Some really interesting stuff. My only complaint is really minor in the scheme of things: I just think the Protoss Colossus unit is way too trite. That design has been in so many different sci-fi themed movies/games it’s ridiculous. War of the Worlds, Half-Life 2, C&C3 etc etc.
If they can balance this game half as good as the first one, I’ll be impressed.
Don’t worry. Blizzard always puts low system requirements for its games.
FINALLY!!! AT LONG LAST IT WILL HAPPEN!!!
I was worried that I might not live to see the day. ZERGLING RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!

Just to confirm, from http://www.starcraft2.com/faq.xml
Will the game run natively on Windows Vista? StarCraft II will be fully compatible with Windows Vista, as well as XP. We’ll have more details on system requirements closer to release.
Will StarCraft II be available on Mac simultaneously with PC? As with all of Blizzard’s recent releases, StarCraft II will ship on both PC and Mac simultaneously.
Will StarCraft II take advantage of DirectX 10? What other graphical goodies are included? The game will be compatible with DirectX 10, and we’re still considering whether there will be exclusive DirectX 10 graphic effects, but the graphics engine will also be very scalable to ensure that a wide range of different systems will be capable of running StarCraft II. The new engine is also capable of rendering very large units, as well as large numbers of units on screen together. Havok physics have been integrated into the engine for added realism as well.
You can see in the vid with the dashing zealots that you’ll be able to select at least 16 units. That group of zealots is 12, and in the selected screen the units are lined up in rows of 8, one row of 8 being taken up and the next one with only 4. It also looks like it might be able to fit another row of 8, meaning that you might be able to select up to 24 units at once!
Edit: Any word on whether it will be Windows only?
Sure I have, that’s still NOT Diablo III though, even though it might just keep some of us Diablo fans happy until Blizz decides to make a 3rd. As for the system requirements for StarCraft II, I’m glad it can run on XP since I’m not going to upgrade to Vista any time soon.
damn now I gotta keep my eyes peeled for the (hopeful!) limited edition set.
that way I can sell it on ebay!!
I don’t think any really is until a year from now :wasted:
But yeah, looks like I got my new comp just in time =D
Zergling bomb rush is gonna be crazy.
stalkers better know how to goon dance.
