If they were going to be selective (which i don't think they would) they would be grabbing the top players from multiple games from multiple countries. They would also probably like to get players who are successful at the early stages in mutliple strategy games (Pillars, Tillerman, Maynard) | ||

since there is probably no chance that they will do any 2D game anymore, this means that SC2 will die faster than a steak in a pool of hungry piranhas. | ||

The only thing i would be really happy about would be another add on which adds up to 2 or 3 units per race. Because u could test it and everything and if its just worse you could basically come back to SC/BW again and u wouldnt even mind.. or think.. will i be lone now.. ? D: | ||

Introducing heroes as a critical part of teh game is going to seriously impact teh playing experience, so that's not good, but there is no harm in introducing a more complicated heroes system for UMS purposes, or even introducing a mild experience system to give micro and tactics more weight. With SC running for about 10 years now and the progamin scene for more than half a decade, there is a ton of valuable experience to be applied to the making of a new competitive RTS in the style of starcraft. There are good aspects of various genres taht can be incorporated into RTS, granted the RPG element isn't the best idea for this, something like the tactical complexity of a FPS is more suitable to a game like starcraft. The introduction of more tactical possibilities always means more room for innovative play and more room for the most skilled to display their work, and this is a worthy idea to pursue. And no, I don't think the comment itself is meaningless, unless it is somehow fake. It sounded like a pre-announcement announcement to me. | ||

Personally I would just like to see a Remade Starcraft with everything the same, units, damage, costs , etc. With visual changes like new terrains new map editor and the overall general look of things. Basically just a new game engine all together. It wouldn't even have to be 3D just maybe 2D with the illusion of 3D. This way it would play exactly the same but just look a lot cooler graphics-wise with new unit animations, sound effects, and things like that. This way I can still play an old game without my friends saying shit like "Stop living in the past". Also public gaming would be somewhat renewed which would bring in much more support to the community which seems to have leveled off or began on the downward incline. | ||

I didn't really like the graphics in wc3, but that doesn't matter. Using 3d is simply better; it takes less memory and looks smoother (compared to in sc where groundunits can look and move in 8 directions only) | ||

There was that new UMS with 3D graphics... warhammer rts? It looks good, I think SC could use similar but more modern and better graphics. I just hope there are no more unit AI glitches and the units aren't sluggish like WC3. If the interface and control is nice and sharp, there's really no way SC2 can tank.. besides some really bad random element like Items and Creep and Heroes but that's a fairies pixies and dragons thing and not a guns aliens and tanks thing. | ||

I can tell why you only have 28 posts. Balancing 6 races (TWENTY ONE MATCH-UPS) would be utterly impossible (unless every race is a mirror of another one). Recently I've started wondering if 4 would even be a good idea. I think they should add max one race, or just add/change units/tech of the current 3. | ||

So, to end the rant, I do believe that blizzard, now that they've put their foot in the waters of the mmorpg market, will doubtfully ever leave it. It's more profitable, and they're still a company who's goal has to be to earn profits. Yes, I know we all wish they were some eccentric charity obsessed with creating high quality competetive online games, but they've got bills to pay, and who's to blame them? Don't expect sc2 soon, don't even expect it ever, don't expect anything that isn't an mmorpg. If they do churn something out, be grateful, otherwise project revolution is pretty much the best you can hope for. | ||

To totally shift gears into doing all morpg is a drastic decision that not only involves the question of "what makes more money" but also "what does blizzard stand for." They don't stand for anything. They exist for one reason: to make money. | ||

They just need an extra race, a plausible storyline, and a better multiplayer system which will be easy. Of course, there's the balancing issue but.. I have faith ~_~; What I'm really thinking is.. this game has been out for too long and I've been in touch with this game from the very beginning but have wasted my time with a whole bunch other games. People have gotten too good! I want to kick some ass. I need a new game so we can all start from scratch | ||

Things like muta stacking, micro timing, vulture sliding by laying mines and the other fancy tricks we've come to associate with Starcraft depend very much on its unique 2D engine. | ||

And it better not be SLOW PACED AS ALL HELL like War3 is where every unit has 1000 health and deals 50 damage per hit, and they hit like once a second. I really don't know how they can implement a hero carries an item that gives bonuses thing with Starcraft without being hokey. The whole heroes, experience and inventory thing is too Tolkien-esque fantasy to be taken seriously in a game that's supposed to be modern or post-modern. In fact, to the poster who mentioned something like "you all want SC2 to be exactly like SCBW!", I would like LITTLE better than SCBW in beautiful graphics. Maybe a couple of new units for each race. That's it though. Then all they need to do is weave a great storyline around it (and I don't question their ability for a second) and voila, the next Starcraft. Oh and they definitely, for the first few years, need to be VERY receptive to balance criticisms, especially from the pro-gaming community. Blizzard needs to think of StarCraft like a huge Jenga tower. | ||

and it's SC's many "flaws" that has been a major part of makeing it great, all the little things that probably werent planned. Like.. how you can block some units from passeing between them if you build in a certain way.. or the scarab that doesnt allways kill stuff.. observer not getting killed if you place it over the turret while its being built, even the flying drones... drama- and fun!!! Thoose are all good things in my book.. *votes for another expansion.. | ||

Cause then Id still have SC and thats fine by me. An expansion with new units is like the best thing I can imagine of right now. Or make SC play like Allegiance if anyone ever played that. Its like RTS mode but other people can go into FPS mode and control a single spaceship and stuff. | ||

A lot of people seem to forget this, because it was only mentioned when WC3 first came out: WC3 is a mix of rts and rpg. For those who remember when wc3 first came out, they were soo excited about making a game that was something never before seen on the market, it was a mix of 2 genres. You can google it somewhere. | ||
