300 units at once? that's not counting all the projectiles flying around by every unit, and all the shrapnels.... all reacting to physics? It sounds like a GC's nightmare to run at full settings.

It sounds like a GC's nightmare to run at full settings. Try playing Cossacks with at least 2thousand units on the screen or the same time. Or Medieval 2 with 3000 units for that matter.  |

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ May 20 2007, 08:42 PM) I think Protoss Phoenix will replace Scout. Good point there.Firebat should be there because it's suppose to be a melee unit for terran while Reaper is more like a harassing unit and a bit like Zone Trooper. And yes, that's another one... Protoss Phoenix to replace the Protoss Scout. --- Really interesting here as well is the fast-mode of the Zealots. Makes them more useful now unlike with SC1, they're pretty useless unless you are playing DeathMatch (ie rush-game). |

QUOTE(Araes @ May 20 2007, 08:05 PM) PS 2.0, so those without SM 3.0 card won't have to cry. Hmm what about GeForce cards?? I hope I can still play it with a GeForce 4 Ti 4200. You should be able to play this with Radeon 9800. |

After watching the trailers and such... it's kinda funny how powerful and advanced those protoss with mini black holes, warping, robotics, psionic abilities, shield and such but still have tough time with those bloody humans pi... oops that's us
 as well the zergs. It reminds me of how great the Xel naga but sadly got owned almost twice by their own creation and this time probably the third with these hybrids or something  . |

laptop? you just have to make sure that u have the right GC, and other requirements.
Heh if protoss so smart they would just open a rift and bring themselves a billion light years awaay from everyone. But its not in their code to be cowards. So..... |

QUOTE In terms of basic gameplay details, Starcraft II will be what vice president of game design Rob Pardo calls "a true sequel to Starcraft." The sequel is confirmed to only feature the original three playable races from the previous games: the protoss, the zerg, and the terrans; there will be no fourth race, not even the zerg/protoss hybrid which appeared in a mission in Brood War. There will also be no hero characters, unlike in Blizzard's last RTS, 2002's Warcraft III. Instead, the sequel will be very much about what Pardo calls "mass armies"--large groups of units doing battle at once. Pardo has pointed out that unlike previous Blizzard games, Starcraft II will have no "selection limit"--that is, you'll be able to click and drag your mouse to select an unlimited number of your own armies to control. Link suck on THAT ! No more DOTA for you!  This post has been edited by slickz: May 21 2007, 12:26 AM |

I think even Blizzard got fed-up with DotA already... hence no hero character in SC2

Geforce FX cards were crap of a graphic cards and was thought to be a PS 2.0 card but it had only PS 1.1 capability. You can find out when you're playing Source Engine powered game. I know I used to use one.ya no prob... of course not the ultra high settings ATI is the only major gc maker that have PS 2.0 cards from Radeon 9500 right up to X850. Later Nvidia got their act together and started making better DX 9 cards with the 6000 series which had SM 3.0. This post has been edited by Araes: May 21 2007, 12:44 AM |
