StarCraft 2

[MaximusR3]

found a nice collection of videos and teaser trailers made for this game, check them out here:

StarCraft 2

There is also an upcoming beta test, you can opt in by signing up for a battle.net account and changing your settings to accept beta invites. more info can be found here:
Beta opt in

[MaximusR3]

thought i might also add that in order to have an eligible account for beta opt in, you need to have atleast one product registered on there (warcraft, WoW, diablo, starcraft), which is the only thing that has stopped me from doing so already. I lost my original game keys for WarCraft 3 a long time ago so i can't register them and never did in the past. I'm considering buying a digital copy of StarCraft + the brood war expansion for 15 bucks because that was a sweet game and my discs are all scratched up and almost unplayable thanks to letting my little brother use them in the past. Why some people have such difficulty keeping games in the cases i will never know...

2??????? what about 1!!!!!!!!!!! (yes I still play 1 lol )

[MaximusR3]

yeah i hear the online for StarCraft is still huge, especially in Korea, those guys are nuts about the game

[Rambowned]

Im still kinda put off by the idea of having to buy 3 different games to get the whole experience, but I loved the first one so much that this is aallmmoosstt a guaranteed first day buy for me.

[MaximusR3]

yeah, the whole planned expansions sort of sucks from a buying standpoint but that's just how Blizzard rolls. They'll release the StarCraft 2 Battlechest shortly after the expansion that will include the original game, the expansion, and the two mini strategy guides. It's like clockwork with them, so predictable

[MaximusR3]

They finally came through with an official announcement that the Beta starts at the end of this month. If you want a chance to get in on this make sure you go to the link i provided up top

I still don't believe it :shock: , but I guess it's happening :o .

HOLY CRAPOLA! I've been waiting for this game since, I don't know... 2002ish. LOL

yeah and it only took them how many years .

[ASignorelli]

I remember when it was gonna come out before Warcraft 3, then Wow, Then X-pac for WoW... waaaaaaay back when it was gonna be "Return of Xel Naga" and then it was gonna be "Project Ghost" and Finally, a finished product. I have to say it looks pretty snazy. I checked out the vids, and have seen the trailer on TV a couple times. Gives me chills. I hope I can make Tower D games like I did in the last one. I was original creator of "The Matrix" I called it that cause it was my fave movie at the time. Shows how long ago it was LOL. my name was EF-Fenix. Back in the day... CAN'T WAIT!

[MaximusR3]

i remember getting excited for Starcraft 2 back when they had the little secret part in the credits of warcraft 3. I thought for sure they were trying to hint it was close at hand, not several years away

and i was disappointed when ghost got canned, i liked the direction that was going. Granted it may have turned out a bit like Metroid prime, but that's ok, i would have played it still

[ASignorelli]

I agree Max, it was more than 50% done, they should have sucked it up and finished, not pulled all their peeps to WoW...

yup would be very nice to have a personal view of the Starcraft universe

[MaximusR3]

I still don't believe it :shock: , but I guess it's happening :o .

well Jack, it happened, people all over are playing it as we speak. The soundtrack is even available in the iTunes store, any takers?

He is probably running to the store right now to pick it up.
The intro is about the only thing that looks good to me about this game. I personally can't get into those above view games.

[ASignorelli]

OMG! I'm getting it tonight. We should start a USMG (if it can do 4 letters) clan on SC2. I'd be epic. I cab;t wait for it... maybe I'll do single player campaign first before I dare go online. I call protoss, unless there is a new race.

[USMCramirez]

dude, these guys are crazy good. I got into the beta 2 weeks after it came out and I was just getting annihilated. It's unbelieveable.
