Anyone else hyped? Man I love this game. I think I have invested more time with this game than any other.

I loved broodwar, I wasted a really huge portion of my life on that.

The first Starcraft was and still is my favourite game of all time, so you can imagine just how excited I've been since the day they announced the second one. I really cannot wait, and it's driving me nuts how there's been no announcement of a release date. I even watched the play-by-play video of two people in a skirmish, which I would never do for any other game, and I was excited the whole way through.

I didn't play the first one until later, thought I hear it is still popular. I'm not a fan of the RTS community/competitive scene sometimes, but I like well made, balanced RTS games and their artwork and so am looking forward to this.

I spent most of my younger life on starcraft, playing or making maps.

Great memories... I doubt I can run SC2 on my computer, but one day...

Starcraft 2 isn't that hard on your computer, so I've heard.

Yup, Starcraft 2. After the failure that was DOW 2, this is all I've got left to live for XD

Can't wait.

**AirRick101** · 01-27-2009 12:05 AM

I've been anticipating this game as well....but my hype has died down in the years because Blizzard takes too long to make new productions, but hey, at least they make the wait worth it.

....still, they just take too damn long.

P.S. I wonder if the Crayons are going to rule this game as well. (Koreans)

They don't have a release date on Diablo 3 either (booo). But I'm down to pick up both of them once they're out. I was a bigger Command and Conquer player over Starcraft though.

KIROV REPORTING!

Even though it has been taking a while to release, I think it's going to turn out to be a good game. I'm looking forward to buy the premium/collectors edition if available. I just hope it lives up to the hype. I'm probably going to have to update my graphics card though.

Also, how did DoW2 fail? I was considering getting it.

**dylanshmai** · 01-27-2009 04:14 AM

wow, this game expands upon the original game in every way. I hope all my friends get this game (the best thing about playing the original).

Red Alert 2 > Red Alert 3

Tiberian Sun > Tiberium Wars

They're entertaining, but I just like the originals better. What can I say?

Well that's just my opinion. I think the gameplay sucks. I hear it's similar to COH. I never played COH, but apparently people liked that, so I guess they'll like this one. Read my DOW 2 thread.

Apparently the game is going to be released in 3 parts. The Terran campaign is going to be released first, followed by the Zerg campaign I believe, and then the Protoss campaign last. I'm not sure on pricing but I think it's $20-30 for each part.

Campaigns can only play the respective race that the campaign is for however the online mode will feature all 3 races as playable. I'm so looking forward to this game Starcraft and Broodwar were amazing games. Hundreds of hours on these beasts.

**False** · 01-27-2009 09:01 PM

I thought that the 3 different parts were the expansions, and that the first game is the "opener".

Also, we should all play SC2 when it comes out.

dude, a dreamviews clan....I totally never thought of that....but how do we answer when people ask the story behind our clan tag? they'll think we're weird....oh well, sounds fun!!

**Grunkie7** · 01-27-2009 11:36 PM

I'm vaguely interested in it. It looks polished and it's most likely a great game, but I'm hoping more for DOW II. (Trying the Beta tonight hopefully). I'm too much of a laid back player to get too into the competitive aspect of starcraft and I always got too bored of the campaign in the original to ever finish it. (I've tried multiple times but can't even get through the Terran campaign). I hear it's got a new system for the campaign though so who knows if I'll like it.

Anyway, I'll wait until the custom map niche gets developed until I bother getting it. Tower Defence maps are the best thing to come out of Blizzard RTS's personally

**slayer** · 01-28-2009 12:21 AM

Just how fun is Starcraft?

If anyone knows what Natural Selection is, then I'm a big fan of that. It's an RTS/FPS mixed game and it is amazing.
