Starcaft 2 will be out soon, and honestly that is all that needs to be said. The sequel to the best game ever made. Now i know alot of people are skeptical about sc2, and with good reason. Definitely will be different playing style than the original. Could be better though. At any rate, we should have sc2 division even though its not a steam game. It will be one of the most popular online games out this year! AHHHHH THAT SPY IS A HYDRALISK
Starcraft 2!!

Never really was a big fan of Starcraft. I know it's great and I liked it, but I enjoyed other RTS back then more.
We're also not going to get a division for SCII since this is basically an FPS community as far as I know.

The first game of the StarCraft series, it was released for Microsoft Windows on 31 March 1998. -Wikipedia
Yeah so, Starcraft is a longer wait.
But anyways, I'm super excited about it but this chopping it up into 3 games is horse #@$%.

I can't wait, and personaly im glad their splitting it into 3. It means they can create a much better campgain, and gives them 3 chances to balance the multiplayer, the thing that made the origianl sc so great. My only worry is that with auto-mine and MBS that it will be too easy to play and ruin the large skill in the original game.

That's awesome Caffeine.
Also, the campaign is all well and good. But what makes Starcraft and almost every other RTS is the multi-player. Blizzard has always been good about updating and keeping everything fair when it comes to multi-player. The thing about the 3 games is there isn't going to be anything new introduced in multi-player for the last 2 cds, it's just going to be campaigns. If you ask me they should delay it another 6 months to a year and release it all at once with possible multiple cd's for the whole package.

Blizzard is pretty notorious for their famous quote "The game will release "when it's done"". Which is for them basically a blank check for a release date.
Personally I can wait another year or two if that is what Blizzard needs to make an amazing game. Then again Blizzard is all about releasing quality products...hell they cancelled Ghost because it wan't up to snuff.
All around I'm pretty excited to see my favorite RTS finally get a sequel. After playing the original for 8 years it will be nice to see something new.

Nah they are adding new multiplayer units in the 2 expasions, as well as the extra 2 campaigns, i watched it in a developer interview so im pretty sure on that. They said all races will be playable with the original sc2 without the expansions, but that new units will be added to the multiplayer expeirence in the two extra campaign expasions as well as the zerg and protoss campaigns.

You're right. I'm pretty sure I saw a developer interview where they said differently, so I'll try and find it tonight.

Yep i preorder it when they 1st made it able to preorder that was about a year ago and i cant wait until it comes out o BTW did you no there is gonna be three starcraft games this dose not mean that we wont be able to play the races it just means each game is devoted to a campaign of each race.
Although it seems they have simplified alot of the economic and macro production. But what it looks like from i have seen, they are concentrating more on dynamic units, micro control, and army management. Which i personally think can be cool, because the macro oriented play isnt as exciting.

Pfft, I'll be in my cold, cold grave when Starcraft 2 comes out. Did I mention I was 98?
Also, speaking of RTSs, if you have it, go on Red Alert 3, turn water details up to ultra high, go to ring of fire and make akula subs. I t looks awesome.

Starcraft... wow my beloved game. I hope the protoss still have their arbitors. Gawd I love the protoss...
Starcraft was meant to be a "massive" fight. The more units the more domination. I remember I used to use the "bomb technique" with air units.
Of course, micro-techniques are just as important.
