also on the map aspect: blizzard should make every map "LT level" and nothing bigger than 192x192, if that. | ||

-Obviously it's gonna be 3d. But i REALLY hope the height differences are gonna be the same like cliffs in lt etc... In wc3 height serves like almost no strategic value at all. And the overal height system sucks ass. -New unique race, ok in wc3 human and orc aren't different enough at all, but this was just the same in wc2. They should add a new race, it'll take A LOT of thinking through etc, but it would be sooo much cooler, i mean if they would only do just new graphics in sc2 and nothing more. Starcraft WILL get boring eventually. Refreshment would be nice, especially for the non-progamers who are obviously a minority. Look at wc3, it's pretty balanced, and blizzard won't stop working until it reaches total balance, it's not IMPOSSIBLE. There isn't like 1 race that is used by everyone much more, and if you've seen the story line of sc, you know a new race is coming. -System specs, look we obviously can't be using a pentium 1 or something forever. The specs should be a little higher then wc3. You don't want sc2 to score a 4 for graphics in every magazine? And i won't mind buying a good comp, you can't let that go for quality of the game. Good graphics but being able to see a lot of units at the same time is essential. 200 limit at least, 300 or 400 would be nice. -For gods sake, keep the pace. And unit physics. 2 lurker shots should kill a marine, but a marine should run very fast when it's stimmed. Vulture's should be fast. Keep everything fast and low on hp. Big army's is what's sc is about. -no heroes, no experience, no autocasting on super-awesome spells, duh. Heal is autocast, the rest not, and i like how if you cast storm with 12 temps selected, they all cast the storm. But in wc3 only 1 would cast that spell. I mean, the 1 second 8 lockdowns wouldn't mean shit anymore then. =[ -platform, there's no need to even start about this, you can't even get on the site or know about starcraft with an pc. The speed and graphics just suck on consoles. (ok the xbox graphics are nice tho) OK i think i covered the things important to make sc2 awesome. | ||

Yeah, obviously it's much harder to balance. But what else do you want. Blizzard WILL include a new race, and blizzard WILL patch it a lot, nothing really much to do about this. Eventually it will be ok. I don't see any MAJOR imbalances @ wc3. I wouldn't call the patches massive overhauls. Blizzard is doing a great job, they should've released the game a little later for balancing, but now they are letting the community balance it which will go much faster, and this way we can make the game balanced. And just look at blizzard's last patch and upcoming, 3 new heroes and balance changes. If there's 1 company that can do it it's blizzard. I just hope the game is gonna be great. | ||

Try not to be too malicious, though. We all know WC3 players are fucking clueless and retarded when it comes to competitive RTS but it's really difficult to make somebody else understand this fact, and you'll just come off in a very bad way to the Blizzard staff. | ||

It of course has to come out on PC. one idea i had for awhile is to make it run from bootable CD, so there is no windows, it loads all the drivers for hardware, so you can have an uber-beatiful game. Not sure if everybody would like to reboot tho, i'd like to see how much it matters. I really don't see why it has to be 3d. To be honest, i prefer sc gfx over w3 gfx, since 2d is just so much clearer. They could use some 3d stuff tho, but mainly use top-down sprites (maybe a bit like ikaruga?). | ||

It's very easy to see who has played WarCraft 3 for real, and who hasn't, just by simple statements made. It's frustrating, but shouldn't be taken too seriously as those that DO share their ignorance and prejudice for the game really aren't having any effect on the community so there's no harm done to anyone but themselves. But I'm sure you know that, I'm just discussing it with you. But I too would much rather see SC2 more like SC and without War3 elements. Sure, I defend War3 all the time, but it's not because I feel the game is better than SC. I just defend it because some of the things that are said about it are just down-right ignorant and people to this day still don't understand how complex and different the two games really are. War3 is a great game, well fit for high-level competition, but I still enjoy SC more, and would much rather see a true StarCraft sequel than a game that Blizzard thinks would be cool or fun. Even if most of you are incredibly biased and uneducated on the subject of War3, for this purpose I hope your hatred is taken into consideration, because if it isn't, theres a very good chance Blizzard will try to merge the best of both worlds, and instead of seeing a true sequel, we'll see yet again a totally different game, and while the game may be great in it's own ways, I think it's quite clear that everyone wants a true SC sequel, not a new game. | ||
