starcraft II 2009

Well the xelnaga that created the protoss and the zergs are acctually scientist, who knows the ones that are comming back are acctually their armed armada.

read the book je la next month hopefully

Yeah,i heard the Xel Naga that come back are actually armed armada.

They are here to complete the cycle,not to say hello and kthxbye.What ever they gonna do to complete the isnt gonna be good.

Actually, you're wrong (but just a little bit). Yes, Xel'Naga left the Protoss when they got fed up of them. But when the Protoss discovered that the Xel'Naga was leaving, they felt betrayed and pounced on their former gods, nearly wiping them out as they chased them out of the system. When they lost sight of their gods their anger was focused inwards towards their own kin - that was when the Aeon of Strife started.

Do cross-check with your manual. The story is there.

As for completing the cycle, I believe the Xel'Naga aren't weak per say, but rather are a more pacifist race. Their technologies are awesome (think temple in Shakuras), but they have enough self control not to use it at all. They aren't dead... I think they are still alive, and that Samir Duran is their agent. Perhaps the Zerg weren't thorough enough in their purging.

I thought the protoss did not attack the xelnaga, only the zerg did and the xelnaga and the xelnaga that they attacked are only the scientist not the whole race.

protoss did not attack Xel Naga, Xel Naga left protoss coz protoss adept too much into technology hence consider em "failure" n start creating Zerg. Zerg somehow learn how to evolve n eventually took the opportunity n take down Xel Naga. (heck its been ages since i read it from the manual, so i might be wrong in some part)

Bout Duran being Xel Naga agent, possiblity is there.

so when will starcraft 2 been release...?

No one knows.

Probably next year,i would say.

99.99% that its release date will be released on blizzcon at october 11-12.
Probably Q2 next year

Among of all games, this is the one I anticipate the most. Couldn't wait anymore, just looking at the models, animation and units are enough to make me droll . There are certain things I'm worried about though as suggested in the 'what's wrong with SC2' video on youtube like the automation of management and overpowered unit. Hopefully Blizzard will take note of that and polish it what ever necessary.
Still I'm hoping it to be a quick phased and competitive as the first game.

Hey I can see lights upon this game. I reckon many will try to train themselves hard to be a SC2 pro gamer. I'm into it too but first I need to overhaul my system

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/10/starcraf...d-as-a-trilogy/

Rob Pardo, executive vice-president of game design at Blizzard announced that the campaign version of the game will be a trilogy, each part focusing on a separate race.

* Terrans - Wings of Liberty
* Zerg - Heart of the Swarm
* Protoss - Legacy of the Void

You'll have to buy separate discs. According to Pardo, "It's a separate product. Look at the next two as expansion packs, but will have the feel of stand alone products."

Splitting the game in 3 is a (as quoted by the Heavy) "stupid STUPID" idea.

They only make me want to get the Jack Sparrow version. Unbelievable!

lol, it is CONFIRMED that starcraft 2 will be spiltted into trilogy.. and yeah, warcraft 4 is confirmed as well during the blizzcon..

Well if they make a very very very very Loooooooonggggg campaign, with Godlike Ownage OMG cutscenes and videos between missions, I highly doubt anyone will complain.

I mean, such a game would keep ppl busy with 1 single trilogy till the next comes along.

They hit the jackpot strategy in splitting since most of of us will buy that 3 games anyway.
In splitting if they charge cheap : we will still buy 3 thinking the price of 1 separately.
In spiltting if they charge espensive : We will still buy 1 first (if we impressed) then we will buy the rest too later.
I am really hoping that they copy what valve did like the orange box.
