O.o my hope of playing this game online has been shattered wow paying for battle net is just ****ing lame.

Blizzard is going to lose a hell lots of fan if its charging for the battlenet for SC2

Did they mention about the subscription thing?

They only mention about the trilogy.

Yeah...battle.net will be free...there will be no charges for it.

Lets not create rumours based on nothing

Awesome as always..Blizzard always produced good cinematic..

Wonder how the expansion pack gonna be for the 3 different faction game (another 3 perhaps). Blizzard sure gonna milk this cash cow.

Blizzard's Rob Pardo reveals sci-fi RTS will now be three separate products; Terran campaign Wings of Liberty will arrive first.

ANAHEIM, California--For many, this morning's keynote address from Blizzard president Mike Morhaime was a bit anticlimactic. After revealing Starcraft II, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, and Diablo III at three consecutive events, Blizzard had nothing new to report on a new game from the company. That changed during the Starcraft II panel, as Blizzard's Rob Pardo revealed that rather than a single real-time strategy game, Starcraft II will now be released as a trilogy.

After bemoaning the fact that Starcraft II was shaping up to be an undertaking far larger than the previous game, Pardo said the first game in the series--subtitled Wings of Liberty--will focus on the Terrans. Specifically, it will seek to resolve the conflict between Jim Raynor and Kerrigan, which was the crux of the original Starcraft. The second game, Heart of the Swarm, will focus on the Zerg, while the final game, Legacy of the Void, will be devoted to the Protoss.

Pardo noted that each release will be a fully fledged campaign, featuring 26 to 30 missions apiece. The celebrity World of Warcraft designer also noted that while the ending of each game will be set, the middle of the game will play heavily to player choice, allowing for branching storylines. Pardo also said that the second two releases could be considered expansion packs, but that "we really want them to feel like stand-alone products."

Shiet man ...

Biggest pile of bullshit I've read this century. Blizzard going episodic? God dammit. Forget about the single player! Just bring it on the multiplayer lar.

So the first SC2 faction is for Terran campaign Wings of Liberty. So we only see Terran in the 1st product? Only multiplayer is Terran fighting itself?

Maybe loh they trying to do like half life with its episode 1 lah 2 and .............. =.= !!

I think it's the dumbest idea in an RTS

All races are available for multiplayer. The expansions packs will or should i say might add new units for the races. All races are unlocked for multiplayer.

Oh boy i think i found where this rumour comes from:

I think it is important to realise that by monetising it they dont mean subscription(or at least thats the hope). It could mean some sort of micro transaction for really small things that are not core of battle.net.

sad now they want to make us buy 3 game instead of 1

guys need help regarding SC, i wanna sell my starcraf cd n guides.. the question is, if i've register my game with blizzard.. does this mean the buyer will need to play using my id? Advice please..

I hope not.This is getting stupid.

Any idea whats happening to CoD5's multiplayer?

It's only 3 campaigns.3 long non linear campaign that have 26-30 missions each.That means you got 3 WC3 campaigns to play.

Isnt that bad for the price you play,IMO.

Just the paying battlenet is bothering me.

so much tak fahams..the trilogy thing is single player only, multiplayer can play all races.

NOOOOOOO!

i don't care if it's just 15 missions each! just put it in ONE game!

Still,if you want a good meaningful campaign,i think this is better.Blizzard have time to make kickass campaigns.

Unless you want those crappy campaigns that we get in today's RTS.
