Yes,DLC does not mean paid stuff.

Im just thinking that Blizzard should use something more in the lines of what developers of TF2,DoW2 or Sins done to their games.

Maybe Blizzard is getting their own Steam.

Looks good to me,IMO.

There are some parts that are a bit unpolished or cheap.

WTF is with the giant Zealots?

Newsflash: Blizzard says LAN gaming is like dinosaur fossil now

Hey Blizzard, not everyone owns a stable and big fat bandwidth internet connection. No body wants to login to an online app. just to play a LAN game. And not everyone gives a shit about your e-penis I mean in-game achievements.

Blizzard is losing itself in the sea of money.

Students behind firewall.
Small scale tournaments.

Case 1


Case 2


Case 3


Don't be too quick to judge those pro-LAN as pirates. Have faith in Blizzard? Fix the Blademaster first please. Maybe they already forgot wc3 existed.

Thats just your assumption.

The thing that what Blizzard needs to do is have a look at IP tunnelers or any ping reduction programs,then,take a few pages from it,improve it which is what they always do.

What makes you think that it's gonna be as crap as their battlenet now? If Battlenet is crap,then,how about GFWL,Gamespy etc? Those are even worse from what i heard from those who played on a few MP system.

There are some Battlenet 2.0 screenshots.Looks more like having Steam fully integrated into the game with much much more bells and whistles.

There is even a custom decals option,like Dawn of War.

A ladder that actually match you correctly.

I dont mind to get online all the time just to play SC2. Steam has made me get used playing games online.

I do hope Battlenet 2.0 will be much better than any MP system out there,as most RTS MP system out that are rubbish.

Pretty nice statue of Kerrigan 

For the face I was wondering for few secs if it was a statue or a real model.... it's a statue right? 

Yeap,no one would bother the animations when you are playing at 500apm.

The fancy animations would be great when you are watching replays.

blizzard is just so dam slow...

they leak the rumor sooooo early.. and not release the releasing date..

what the ffffffffffffff!!

is that 2-3 year in the past?

they leak the rumor

Phew, after nearly a month of being stagnant in localization phase, it's good to finally see the Battle Report leaked... well it has yet to be up in the official website.

A few points that I noticed:

1. Is it just me or the Hellions have pathing problem? They were having a hard time chasing down a non-Charged Zealot, getting themselves stuck bumper-to-bumper against each another.

2. Thors built from Factory, bummer. They used to be constructed by SCVs but now, they're snatching places with Siege Tanks & Hellions.

3. No air units. OK, we have Medivacs & Observers flying around but I need MOAR... like Banshees and Vikings.

4. I don't see any animation on High Templars, both movement & casting. They're like floating corpses.

5. Awesome Psi Storm animation but what's wrong with those short duration?

6. I noticed a few spell / action / status icons on units but I guess it's useless to go about asking what they are since everyone is almost in the dark about them.

7. Nerf David Kim! Seriously, that guy is way too advanced to play against his colleagues. I'm not discriminating his opponents but look at his micros. Lee was like Attack-Move all the way except for occasional Blinks & Psi Storms while David alternates between the 2 expansions with Ghost Nukes, Medivac-Hellions, Medivac-Tanks & gate-crashing with tons of Thors, Marauders & Tanks.

Still, this is a great temporary fix for us. Can't wait for more Battle Reports Beta!

rts too headache for me.

i will prolly get sc2 for the awesome user made custom maps / modes.
