edwin3210,

Boy stop being retard here. You are ultimately spamming this thread. No matter how I still talk something relate to SC2, but you, simply fill in some completely pointless message here. Anyway posting here will not increase your post count. Even it does it wil not makes you looks more handsome in your real life.
(Look at the way you spam, even spam also should spam with some creativity... you are really retard)

*CUT !!!!!*

Back to SC2, no more off topic.

fujkenasai,

I just about to post the similiar idea here! Naga is the best example and idea here. And the so call "4th race" will be great if they are superior Protoss_Zerg hybrid. But it will not be an "official race" which available on multiplayer".

And also, remember the Black Temple in WoW Burning Crusade? Blizzard might wants to save the "4th Race" for SC2 expansion pack?

*just watched the CGI video*
so thats why it took so long to create a marine...

Vorador,

little question bout the marine. Why was he chained like a prisoner?

Almost 24 hours since the inception of this thread, I have concluded that:
Blizzard to Malaysians is pretty much how Bungie is to Xbox gamers. They can do no wrong in "our" eyes. I mean, Company of Heroes and C&C 3 BARELY registered on the local scene here.


Ignoring most of the discussions here ("OMG, you can zoom and rotate the camera!!!"), the anti DotA bashing has got to stop as its ruining an otherwise good thread.

DotA is NOT an RTS... RTS players have nothing to fear from what is essentially "Diablo for noobs". Stop b****ing already. Just dismiss them as wannabes and be done with it. Stop flogging the dead horse.

That being said, the whole "I hope there are no heroes in SC 2" talks would stop being sounding so bloody pompous because of the DotA influence. Dawn of War has them, C&C has had them for ages (You think Tanya comes of a conveyor belt?). Don't write off the concept just because one company screwed up the implementation.

The hero system in Warcraft 3 was good... Until you realized it was also used in multiplayer.

Face it, heroes in Starcraft were pretty much useless. All they had were double stats from the basic units and they were essentially useless as losing them= losing the game. So, most of the time they became base babysitters. The only SC2 hero worth using was Kerrigan and a hero Battlecruiser (Coz the laser kicked ass)

The Altar alone from WC3 made heroes worth using but unfortunately, the entire game revolved around them which turned "War"craft into "Diablo"craft.



As for impressions of the game, I haven't seen the videos yet, so nothing much to say aside from the screenshots (Which look like a more mature take on the Warcraft 3 style)... I'll wait until they announce a closed public beta before passing judgment. At that point, the graphics would be nailed down already leaving only the gameplay to be tested.

yeah..the dota-bashing and hero-trauma..thats why god needs to send superheroes to this thread.

anyways, the gameplay videos are great. not disappointing at all after the long wait. hopefully the game will not use cutting edge specs like most of their games before.

I hope you didnt mean DOW cause the hero implementation in DOW was good and didnt alter the gameplay of the game but rather enhance it.........heroes function the way they should in DOW..........wont continue this here cause this thread is meant for SC2..........just out of curiosity.....could i know which company are you talking about.....

Probably he means Blizzard heroes who can carry items and have inventory? Of all the games I played, the only RTS I came across where the heroes have inventory is WC3.

edit: Just wanna add that you have to level up the heroes as well to use them more effectively You have to actually go creeping before you attack your opponent.

OMG, My fav game has come to II ? Can't wait for it.. don't the galaxy is conquered by Zerg?

Holy shit I wonder hows the storyline will turned out to be , Kerrigan

Zerg Banzai! I think Blizzard has an evil mind, ever wonder why all those baddies are more powderful most of the time , Zerg > Terran/Protoss , Undead > Night Elf,Human,Orc

Currently only Protoss units are revealed? nice man

Is it me or is the new iteration of SC a little to sanitized. I mean check out the gameplay screenshots...everything looks sooo clean and colorful...It looks almost like the original SC except in 3D....U kinda think they'd get on with the times and offer us something more realistic with more aging look to it...ala...star wars. Not the best use of 3D if u'd ask me....but then again maybe thats the style they want to follow.

Also, first impression from seeing the screenies and the trailer....SC2 whole la lot reminds me of SC....not to say the original was not good, its just that i hope blizzard doesnt stay toooo true the original that it becomes basically a clone of the original except maybe with soup-up graphics. I'd like to see some significant changes to the game. Overall, I found myself not as excited as i should have been when I first set me eyes on the screenies and trailers. Hopefully though things will change as it progresses...i really want it to work...

I think Zerg will win again in storyline?
cos
Starcraft : Broodwar = Zerg conquered all
Warcraft III : Frozen Throne = Undead conquered all

So goes the old adage, "Why fix something which isn't broken?"

I am so disappointed that its Starcraft 2.....I was hopping it would be DotA 2

Blizzard don't care about DotA anymore...

*Sob* *Sob*

Why would Blizzard care about DotA? DotA is just a map under warcraft III. If wan DotA 2, you should ask IceFrog =/

after watch the trailer..the armor suit is really increadible...i wander why behind the head got 2 things like aircraft turbine heat like..look crazy this suit...

DotA was never their game. They don't earn a single dime from it.

People just buy pirated WC3 or download a bootleg copy, then download the freeware DotA... no money for Blizzard. Unless they support it on Battle.Net, which I haven't bothered checking... I dont like DotA, it killed WC3 RTS. Just like how I hate Counter-Strike, for killing REAL FPS.

Haha teckpeow is a troll mind him.

1st Blizzard not the DotA maker. (DotA just a map that under Warcraft3 making by Warcraft3 fans)

2nd U hopping for DotA 2, but i though u alrdy playing DotA 6 (DotA version 6)

3rd now u only can hope for Starcraft fans will make a map same like DotA in StarCraft 2
