Aiks, means this time make it balance lar, no more Gundam force overwhelm everythign again...

Nah, this got leaked a few months by some Korean dudes... Valve did a far better job with HL2 IMHO... During E3, it was like "Whoa, didn't see that coming!"... Nobody expected anything. For this, there was like speculation after speculation over the last 2 months over what the hell Blizzard was going to do. For Valve, they had pretty much fallen off the face of the earth UNTIL they showed it off at E3.

Another example of blind Blizzard fanboyism.

ah I remember Half-Life 2.
It was like all... "Omg Doom 3 looks freaking sweet Its gonna be awesome!"...until HL2 was previewed.
It became "Doom 3 sucks lol HL2 wins."

1. Quantity vs. Quality

As opposed to Warcraft III where the player controls a few units with many different special abilities, Starcraft 2 will be a numbers game:

    Starcraft 2 [units] will instead act as "movers and shooters"-mostly autonomous forces that generally lack special abilities, but will instead be used in large control groups to "do their own thing" in battle, rather than requiring the micromanagement of high-level Warcraft III play.

2. More emphasis on economic activity

Another comparison to Warcraft III which had relatively little emphasis on the economy, so players can focus on battles instead. Starcraft 2 will have its pronounced emphasis on bases and expansions as a means of achieving victory.

3. Rushing - strongly encouraged

Unlike Warcraft which introduced neutral creeps to keep the players occupied, Starcraft 2 will put more emphasis on rushing. Engaging the enemy early and keeping him occupied will distinguish good players from mediocre ones. Which leads us to...

4. The good, the bad, and the GOSU

According to Pardo, Warcraft III was more forgiving to beginners (and lamers!). In Starcraft 2, the gap in the level will be a lot more evident. Pro players will be able to mow down their opponents in record time by way of builds, multitasking, and quick expansions:

    Starcraft 2 ... will appeal to hardcore fans by being geared toward "highly competitive, skill-based gameplay," as well as by efforts to "continue to drive new features onto Battle.net".

5. Beyond rock-paper-scissors

Starcraft 2 units will introduce more and more subtle ways to counter the opponent's strategy. The key to good counters will be timing, maneuverability, and position (there's a brand new implementation of higher ground - more damage, fog of war).

    The protoss phoenix, a flying unit, has a special "overload" ability that creates a damaging energy field around itself, then renders it immobile and helpless shortly afterward. In a simulated battle between a player with six phoenix units and another player with only four, the player with six phoenixes apparently chokes and uses the overload ability too early, allowing the other player to dodge out of harm's way, then arrange the four phoenixes around the now immobile six in a loose formation and overload the six into oblivion.

This is truly wonderful
Even though it means i will get my ass kicked

Did anyone get a nice little shock reading this part?
Quoted from Gamespot:
    "Morhaime then introduces the lead designer of the project to discuss it--none other than former EALA designer Dustin Browder (who worked previously on The Battle for Middle-earth and Command & Conquer series)."

Heres to hoping some of that C&C magic will worm its way in

Heh its still a mod I doubt there will bew ballancing

I wonder any laptop can play Starcraft 2? New Santa rosa model?

ok...dled protoss mothership clip...wt..f...got black hole?! super shield?! ion cannot wannabe?! speechless....look so cooolllll + powerfull~~~

btw, i am always a protoss fans bcos of their coollness...but got feeling protoss is the weakest amongst 3

Ion Canon or Ion cannot? Anyway since it's moving so more on particle laser beam then... but the shield and black hole defintiely.... scrin... ...

Why protoss should be the weakest? Issit because they introduce protoss first?

wah...paiseh paiseh...ion canon    
ya woo...protoss got more eye candy compare to others...their technology look very cool...but then again, maybe i am not good enough handling protoss unit...dats y i said protoss unit kindda week...depend on how u use it aa...hehehe.....

btw, scrin? owh u meant, scrin super weapon? hahaha...cant help laa...nowadays all alien unit look similar to me.... no matter wat games it is

owh ya...if look carefully...the big shield didnt stop the movement of the missiles...instead the missile will slowdown n floating around....hehe...then it will fall when the shield disappear...

I still want my STARCRAFT: GHOST

The first one...well, at least it distorted all the units and really sucked them into the blackhole. The one in C&C3 wasn't as eye-candy...well, the lead designer of SC2 is originally from EALA...C&C makers...

The second one...that's what I had hoped the Scrin's mothership in C&C3 to be able to do...haha...hopefully, EALA take the que from SC2 and upgrade the Scrin's mothership for the expansion Oh, btw, great unit that Protoss Mothership. Felt like Supreme Commander - Awesome Experimental Unit.
