Blizzard is making Starcraft 2.....; Its about *ing time.

Now, I'm not a big fan of SC2, never really got into it because of the weird controls(I started WC3 first, so it was strange to me). TBH, I never really spent more than a week on it.

But even so, SC1 was still something I could play once in a while without getting bored, at times when WC3 was boring as hell. So, its held a place in my heart for a while.

This release gives me hopes, I don't really care for new units and * like that, but I'd like to see any new features SC2 might have, as well as new looking terrain-that was what turned me of SC2 for the most part.

Anyways, what are your thoughts?

Starcraft IMHO is one of the most overrated games of all time. It lacks the extreme diversity that the Warcraft 3 world editor contains, it lacks innovative features such as creeps, heroes that can level up, and equipable items. The terrain is hideous (But then again it is a 1997 game while WC3 is 2001) and theres more bugs then in WC3. I am seriously baffled in how it managed to become so popular...

I couldn't care less though about Blizzard though, whatever new games they make their probably going to skip on because of their laziness, as I'm almost positive that they don't care if they make a mediocre game since they have the revenue from WoW to bail them out 5 times over.

The only reason I was calling it Fritos mode was because I had no idea what to call it that would be shorter than 8-12 letters... So wait, are you saying we ended up causing a 30 post long flame war because of some misunderstanding?

Pyro use that edit button please. Anyways, for what you were saying Chaos, yes the original Starcraft severely lacked the diversity of WC3, but then again that's like trying to compare the power of WC2 to WC3. SC2 is probably going to have much more available to it in the way of editing and things like that and I wouldn't be surprised if they added that RPG element to SC now too.

Well if they do add elements to make it more like Warcraft 3, then I'll buy it and forgive Blizzard for the mediocreness of Starcraft 1.

From what I just read on their site the map maker is going to include full scripting and complete editing options inside of it, so the map editor probably will handle similarly if not better than WC3's. I'm not sure if they're doing the RPG element with the heroes though.

well... it's hard to say whether or not they will use it. But there wasn't any RPG elements in WC2 was there? So maybe they wanna switch all their new RTS to that kinda style of gameplay. TBH I might not even play it if it doesn't have the RPG elements in it. That's the whole reason I switched to WC

If SC2 does have heros, I think leveling should be enabled for custom maps only. WHat's Raynor going to do for skills? "Headshot?"

I think the only problem it had SC1 was that it didn't was so creative in a way (I dont want to be heretic but it looked like Age of microsoft in various ways). But warcraft diversity and adaptability to do the "weirdests" games juz rocked on. Still does :Dart:

I'll probably get it, simply because of all the awesome custom maps that will undoubtedly be created. I mean, the original SC's map creator was VERY limited in comparison to WCIII's, but look how many great UMS games came out of StarCraft.

Plus, the graphics look great, there's no denying that.
