Btw, anyone have downloaded all those specific race gameplay video ?? Mind to share what you see in the video ?? I'm too lazy to download a 650MB videos :S

And, did anyone bought the latest SC novel ?? I heard the storyline in the book give you an idea on the plot behind SC2.

Which book did you get?

Latest addition to the SC novels, Dark Templar Saga, Book 1 out of 3. I just finished the prologue and first chap, it seems like SC2 will reveal a lot on the 3rd alien race, yes you heard it right, third alien race. In fact, after Broodwar, a boy activated a temple on a planet (the planet name sounds like a Protoss one) spreads a signal, I think it's something similar to the one that released by Kerrigan in chrysalis, have attracted all the 3 races to this temple. And from there, everyone observed something new, to be exact is a combination of Zerg and Protoss was borned.....

Acturus' son, Valerian Mengsk is featuring in this book thumbup.gif and he's funding a team of archaeologists to this temple to do more findings.

Since we dont know the official game release, can we at least speculate when is the beta coming out??

forget it, Blizzard is well known for not meeting up their deadline to preserve the game quality. Moreover, I will get plenty of emails if there is an demo or beta coming out.

Could it be the Xel'naga's doing cos in SC they said that the xelnaga has long been trying to make a perfect race out of the purest of essence and purest of energy form.

How come you get e-mails if they have beta released, did you register at blizzard?

I'm approaching the end of the novel and nothing has been told about the idea of combining Protoss and Zerg.

This first novel is surrounding an archaeologist named Prof. Jacob Jefferson Ramsey, also known as Jake and a Protoss Preserver (Preserver are those who keep Protoss memory) named Zamara. Zamara went into Jake's body during Jake's venture into a Protoss temple, so now Zamara somehow "live" in Jake body. And Zamara is trying to pass down all the memory that she has kept to herself to Jake and granted Jake the title of Preserver.

SPOILER AHEAD about Protoss Early Life:

So far all the discussion and info disclosed are about Terran and Protoss, they better do good in Zerg. It seems like Zerg need something tough to handle all these new units.

I remember I read one of the FAQ saying that firebats will be back due to popular demand, so is ultralisk. And what the heck are you saying red ?? Terran go for full mechanized army ?? Hell no... Terran is always known for their defensive strength and unit cost effectiveness. Where's humanity if you dont see any single marine out there ?? And where do that "firebat do not suit terran comment" come from ?? Firebat serve as a main damage output in the front line and they served as tanker/cover for the marine to shoot from afar. Zerglings and zealots will love to chew marines more if firebats is no longer there.

well its just my opinion.. I just dont really like da firebat.. We already have Viking and Thor.. so my as well go full mechanize.. Infantry + IFV( Viking in this case).
*
Whether the bats will have overlap role with the new units or not, it's still yet to find out. But what I'm trying to say is that, bat serve a critical tactical role in SC. Splash damage + cheap to chip out + stimpack made bat a valuable asset on the battlefield, especially going against Zerg.

QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Oct 18 2007, 02:12 PM)
I hardly see bats around on youtube terran replays.
*
Not many Terran pro practise bats anymore though, but bats serve as good counter when going against early mass lings and also filer (dark swarm) + lings + ultralisk. I have even seen bats rape zealots before.

Soul if iam not mistaken Does Bat does spash dmg to friendly troops(your own men and ur allys) as well.

I remember when i mass firebat, The firebat at the rear actually hurts my firebat at front??

Can confirm?
*
Negative. Firebats do splash damage to your allies and your enemy but not your own men. Same goes for lurker.

It seems like the second episode of The Dark Templar Saga will be launched on 27th November. Amazon already started to take order on it, anyone know any local bookstore has started to take order on this book ??

From the sneak peek, it looks like Kerrigan and her Swarm as well as more Protoss will appear in the 2nd episode, cant wait to get a hand on this book.

Ok, we don't have to wait for Starcraft 2, cos Starcraft: The Board Game is here now!

RM335 from Comics Corner, Toybox, and http://web.mac.com/imagine_newszine, or email me if you can't find it - imagine.games@mac.com

Comes with more than 180 exclusive figures by Blizzard of Terran, Protoss and Zerg, these are the best sculptured miniatures I've seen so far (15mm).

All air vehicles even come with a neat stand!

Great reviews so far, and plays about 2 hours.

Aint sure if anyone has got the 2nd book of Dark Templar saga. Some sneak peek on possible storyline...

Kerrigan will have a new companion in SC2, a male human but unlike her, he is not a ghost and doesnt possess any psyhic power by nature. Kerrigan just got him accidentally and changed him like how Overmind had changed her and made him become her general. This guy's hands is scythe-like sweat.gif

Raynor will be back, but until which extend still yet to know. And it seems like Protoss will have some units that possess both the dark and light power. And weird it may seems, the dark templars were actually taught to be able to use psionic storm, and according to the story so far, it's far more powerful and dangerous than the templars. Imagine invisible dark templars casting psionic sweat.gif And remember why the Protoss always said En Taro Adun ?? Well, the 2nd book revealed Adun's death, which is related to the origin and exile of the Dark Templar.

Got Heroes= Custom game.

I wish there is Star Craft 2 Heroes wars.biggrin.gif

Hero only available in campaign but not in melee game. And yes, you can access hero in the world editor.

Is this news even real?
I mean like they've done designing most of the arts and graphics for the protoss and terran right? You're saying that they'll redo it again? I doubt so.

But if its true, I wouldn't mind a bit. tongue.gif

With the guts to scrap the entire Ghost project, what is redo the design compare to terminating a pre-release title ??

Just finished watching the video, it seems like in SC2 Zerg will lean more towards to mass, mobility and stealth, and I personally think that that's how should Zerg should be.

From the video, I can only recognize two old familiar face, zergling & lurker sweat.gif The unknown jelly fish like flyers seems like devourer, while the giant melee attack doesnt look like ultralisk at all. And I love the light green mass land suiciders, they looks nasty even though their damage cannot compare to infested marine. And the infestor gonna proved to be one deadly stealth attacking unit.
