Yes, but a very good expansion none the less. They rebalanced the game and made everything a lot more fun.

Hmm... It seems StarCraft2.com (http://www.starcraft2.com/) is up and has the same countdown timer as Blizzard.com (http://www.blizzard.com/). What could this mean...

It means that StarCraft 2 is coming out....http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/starcraft-2/790163p1.html (http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/starcraft-2/790163p1.html).


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?

That post was made before SC2 was announced. And www.starcraft2.com had always redirected to www.blizzard.com, so the observation was completely useless.


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Smee on May 23, 2007, 04:21:05 AM
its official

starcraft 2 will be release some day lol

just like starcraft ghost was suppose to happen 4 yrs ago on the ps2 lol

Let's see...
  • They announce StarCraft: Ghost in 2002 [1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft:_Ghost)].
  • They start work on StarCraft 2 shortly after releasing WarCraft 3: Frozen Throne in 2003 [2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcraft_2)].
  • They indefinitely postpone StarCraft: Ghost in 2006 [3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft:_Ghost)].
  • And they announce StarCraft 2 a year later in 2007 [4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcraft_2)].

We've got two main options:
A. They postponed StarCraft: Ghost for little-to-no reason, or
B. They postponed StarCraft: Ghost because they were going ahead with StarCraft 2.
Think about it.

We're most likely going to see StarCraft: Ghost or a similar game after the StarCraft 2 hype dies down after it is released.

Well, they better hurry up and get SC2 out soon and not sit on it for 4 years


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Chronos on May 23, 2007, 07:58:49 PM
Well they did say they were pretty far along, but Blizzard will be Blizzard.

I've Seen SC2 Vid on YouTube and i saw some game play

P.S

I would like to take this moment to remind people that this video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3980165796053569246) is not StarCraft 2. It was a mod for C&C: Generals that was shut down by Blizzard because of how they aired it under the name StarCraft 2.

:D

I get insider info....im a writer for Starcraft.org (host the Only official SC Map Database), and I knew of SC2 2 weeks before anyone else....if you want me to keep you informed, PM me on here, and ill send you news as I get it (usually before anyone else in the world).


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Chronos on June 08, 2007, 06:19:28 PM
What kind of sources do you have? I've gotten that kind of, so called, "information" before.


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Lammalord on June 12, 2007, 03:36:50 AM
im just happy its comming out starcrafts is one of the best games i ever played.. i sure hope they dont over-do the relisticness or graphics on it.. cause then it may make a simple but fun game to confuseing.. :)

keep the graphics the same.. just new units races, missions.. fun!


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Chronos on June 12, 2007, 08:19:50 PM
It's in 3D and has the same races, a few new units, and (probably) three new campaigns.


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Lammalord on June 17, 2007, 06:15:07 PM
i liked 2d lol, 3d will make it seem to complicated..

It's not been released yet.

You can find StarCraft's Gamespot Hall o' Fame entry here: http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/all/greatestgames/p-5.html

It has a brief synopsis.

Post by: blakranger51 on June 18, 2007, 09:29:53 PM
Check out the 20 minute director's cut...sweeet.
I like the emphasis on terrain levels, especially the new units which can go over the cliff like terrain. (the Terran raiders and the Protoss stilt-walkers)

They postponed starcraft ghost because it was a really bad game -- a starcraft FPS, and it was bound to fail miserably.

Congradulations, snipedragon, you've gone and made a fool of yourself. Just a tip - the world doesn't revolve around you, we don't care that you have "insider information" (probably gotten from some gaming magazine   :14: ), all we care is that SC 2 has been announced and some insane trailers and previews have been released. /rant


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Cameron07 on June 19, 2007, 12:13:58 AM
read up on it in the internet some and it seems like a cool game.. anyone know about how much it is to buy


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Asria on June 19, 2007, 12:45:30 PM
When it's released, we'll know.


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Cameron07 on June 19, 2007, 01:40:10 PM
well since the first one is apparrently out im sure someone could tell me how much the first one is


Title: Re: SC2 Rumors?
Post by: Chronos on June 19, 2007, 04:32:22 PM
StarCraft Battle Chest is in stores for $20, I believe, and it comes with the game, expansion pack, and two pint-sized strategy guides.

They postponed starcraft ghost because it was a really bad game -- a starcraft FPS, and it was bound to fail miserably.

You have no idea why they postponed it and you have no idea whether it would've/will fail or not. They're Blizzard, for goodness' sake, they would never have announced it if they hadn't have had perfect faith in it. Think about how long it took them to announce StarCraft 2!

Regardless and with all do respect, get over yourself and wait and see what happens.
