One of the reason why Starcraft gain such popularity is because of it's addictive LAN game-play before the rise of broadband internet. 

Wait until Johnny wants to play SC2 LAN with his friends. On no he can't Cause the internet is down.
The more people putting everything on the cloud (a.k.a. the internet), the more it becomes more vulnerable and complex in terms of usability and accessibility.
I'm not going to argue anything. All I know it's that Blizzard's decision of removing LAN game has pissed off even their most hardcore fans.

There is nothing else to talk about.

this trailer are damm cool~ welcome back sarah~

Blizzard really pisses me off. What the f*** with one account per cd key?
Not every 14 year old kid are fortunate enough to own original copy of Starcraft 2. How are they suppose to play in CC, when they have to authenticate their account first on bnet before playing on local network. f*** Blizzard. The future of eSports my ass.

OMG, Red Alert has no CD-keys!

No you can't. You need to at least have a Blizzard game registered to participate in the opt-in.

On another hand, do I sense some major nerf on the Baneling soon?

how should i put it, the music seems to overlap the voices... or the normal SFX. if you tilt the controls too much, feels a little unnatural.

I think there's quite some settings for voice and sound right? do try and tweak the settings to your liking then? Or maybe it is just beta, so still bugged?

Or Half Life 2 style

Support both. Low end and high end capture.

Scalable graphics.
