Best topic on SC2 ever. Seriously, the 'mutant larva', the new gas mechanics, the force-field ability, etc etc.. I really feel like Blizzard is going to be able pulling off leaving MBS in while still providing macro mechanisms to allow the ultra-high skill ceiling we currently have.

I just found myself going into a 10 minute joy-rant about it to one of my coworkers so.. Yea. Excitement renewed.

I'm definitely going to wait for the beta before I invest myself in this or contribute to the hype... just too much right now...

Honestly I hadn't kept updated on units and stuff, and didn't have very high expectations until WWI.

Now I'm really excited for the game to come out, and I'm glad that the MBS thing is the way it is, rather than something like where if you hit 1 key, it makes a Tank in all factories.

I'm still disappointed there is no 4th, new race. Maybe when they release sc2 they'll reveal there really is a 4th that they were hiding from us. Wouldn't that be the biggest hype/excitement ever?

Then it would make it harder to balance!!!

Look at warcraft 3, it has been out for more than 4 years and it still isn't balanced! Give blizzard a challenge D:

in order for a 4th race to be added to the game(imo), you would have to keep SC2 with the same SC units, timing, etc in order for you to balanced the 4th race so that it makes the game a lot more balanced. adding a 4th race with new units, and timings, abilities, etc would make the game a lot harder to balanced(and itd take a while for it to get a good balancing).

WC3 is harder to balanced because they are 4 races, and the game is heavily rallied on better unit make up, and micro.

Wc3 is pretty balanced for a game(I.22 wasn't so bad). It's starting to become like SC when it comes to maps, imho.

From an e-sports standpoint, a 4th race mostly serves as a potential source of problems. However, from a regular gamer's standpoint, it would serve as something fresh and new to play with. It would certainly provide an interesting twist to the story.

With all the new units and stuff, we're practically getting three new races already.

That's why Blizzard is implementing such a great editor. So that you can make an entirely new, custom race.

In all likelyhood, a fourth race would just make keeping the balance from becoming skewed that much harder. I have a more personal problem with it, in that things that are 'new' are afforded certain inherent connotations. There are three races in starcraft. They each complement each other so nicely, and they each fit so well with each other. There's just no more room for another race, imo.

I would be pretty disapointed if they added one. Lore wise and game play wise it is unnecessary and just doesnt fit. Starcraft IS the protoss, the terran, and the zerg. Thats what the game is. There should be Xel'naga present in some form in the campaigns but nothing mroe than that.

They've already confirmed ages ago that there wouldn't be a 4th race. (But who knows what the expansion pack holds?)
