Re: Starcraft 2 for great justice!

The beauty of the original Starcraft was the balance between the three factions and the fact that to be skilled, you had to micromanage.  In many cases, a group of smaller units could defeat a group of larger units if specially managed.  Few things I've experienced in RTS games since SC have been as fun as managing a combined arms assault on an opponent's base, with several command groups and everything going like clockwork.

Not to mention no stupid "hero" units in multiplayer as WC3 has nowadays.

I still jump online once in a while and am reminded of what a perfect strategy game they created.

I agree. The hero thing really blew it for me with WC3.

I like the fact that they are not coming out with any new races as the balance between the three was great, more would just muddy the waters.

I'll take a wait and see approach and as with all Blizzard games I won't play with my head in a dry-cleaning bag waiting for it to get released. tongue:D:rolleyes:

Re: Starcraft 2 for great justice!

Umm...I think they do come out with a new race called the Hybird or whatever its called, those creatures that are combined with Protoss's and Zergs's DNA or something..

Edit: If you finished Brood War, you probably seen the bonus mission in the Zerg's campaign where you need to stop the research (Can't remember exactly what was the objactive, gotta replay) with Zeratul.

Edit 2: http://www.maxfreak.com/starcraft2/arch … ft-2-wiki/
Thats the wiki, and I'll quote it for you that there will be 4 races:

First, there will be 4 races: Terran, Protoss, Zerg, and the Protoss/Zerg hybrid, called Vanix. Each race will have 5 new units, 2 new buildings, and new upgrades.

I'd question some of that information.  Stuff like mobile Protoss Pylons has turned out to be different units entirely since Blizzard officially made the SC2 announcement.

The FAQon Blizzard's official SC2 site lists the "game will include three completely distinct and balanced races, the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg"

Yeah, I don't trust all of that data, but some of it might turn into being true.

Re: Starcraft 2 for great justice!

World Of Starcraft, that would certainly be better than World of warcraft. Oh well, Starcraft 2 will prolly be good as the first one was! smile
