Does anyone know if there going to fix the tank death animation? The rest of the graphics look good, or at least something ill get used to, but the tank death animation is genuinely horrific.
Also, theres rumours that match making will be confined only to SC:R, anyone know one way or the other?
If scR is released with the capacity to, at a whim increase the total size and space of what you see, the game will be broken. Irreparably. If they release tanks as is, the game will be broken until they change the animation. If they release scR with matchmaking, but dont give it to those who didnt buy the game, they destroyed the community again-- or at least, kicked it in the balls. We lost our private ladder thanks to this, and in return...we have to pay just to get it back? Break my legs and make me pay for the crutches, oh, and I should be grateful as well?
They did a good job on everything else but these things could destroy everything. TL needs to be asking real questions and not posting fluff pieces like this, honestly. This isnt CNN, is it?

I agree, the tank death is obscenely exagerated!
That explosion is more fitting for the nuke.

Oh wow fabiano, did you know Lady Gaga made a song about you?
Also I agree, the death animations are kinda... bizarre. I want a 200/200 fight to not be covered in death animations, but focused on the micro and battle itself.

Pre purchased here! I will continue to mostly stick to sc2 during my free time, but when I get hyped I'll be glad to fire up SC r. Also, I feel this is a must have in all my devices (laptops, old pcs, etc). I can always get my sc fix regardless of my pc specs

Anyway, the whole part about the observer mode is such an amazing description of what is currently wrong with almost all software - instead of letting the users (in this case the broadcasters) chose on their own from a variety of options, they are gonna not provide the options at all, because they know better and GOD FORBID there were some options that aren't commonly used or, even worse, the options were too many and "confusing", because everyone nowadays is a total idiot and can't handle more than three checkboxes per screen! There is so much shit like that across SC2, so I should be happy that the BW guys also get a taste of the brave new world.
I still don't understand what is the point of this whole thing when they aren't changing almost anything. We have known for a while that it wouldn't solve the reasons why I don't want to play BW and it apparently also is not going to address much of the reasons I don't want to watch it (apart from the terrible old graphics).
go away, sc2 didn't succeed.

I think they made a big mistake by not being transparent, but I think paying for auto matchmaking is absolutely the right call. One of the few reasonable deterrents against hardcore smurfing or endless account abuse. On ICCup that wasn't a big deal, so what if some guy wanted to make 25 accounts and smash noobs to C.
On an MMR skill based ladder, that kind of stuff can impact the entire ladder...totally defeating the point of having matchmaking based on actual skill.
Moreover, there is little chance of it splitting the community. Serious games are going to be played on BW: R, so are tournaments. Any decent BW player that likes the game will purchase BW: R, I just don't see a risk of community splitting. If some new players don't buy BW: R (and tbh, I can only really imagine new players playing because of BW: R), that's not a big loss to me. No big deal if they don't want to ladder.

Pressing F5 toggles between standard BW SQ mode and HD wide screen mode.
Aww that's a pity. I was hoping I would be able to play in wide screen with the original textures. Guess I'm in the minority on that point 
Will there be a Collector's Edition or a special edition for BW:R? I don't want to pre-order now only to find out that a special edition will be available later on.

I agree, I think if you buy the remaster you should definitely be able to play in wide screen with the lower res.
Also I think it's a bit silly to say that the two versions are compatible while making it so that one has a wide screen version which allows you to see more. So in that sense, there is actually a legitimate advantage for buying remastered and making it slightly pay 2 win. Granted, its 15 dollars, but I think the extra resolution will definitely bring about an advantage.

All i want is to play ladder with old graphics on, hd looks like plastic, i don't like it, need widescreen too and no sc2 chat channel system.

Ok a very very very very super SeriousO question to the community..
Will you stop playing SC2? Or are you like me and already have?
And the cycle completes. I started with BW - played until Wings came out then played HotS, then Legacy. Of these games I played BW the most then Wings, then HotS then Legacy.
Back to studying BW my friends!

I think you can just say Idra beats Idra in the finals of TSL4, that's what usually happens, the opponent doesn't even matter that much... Should be another TSL though, hope that's happening!

Haha you can not like it, but it's true that there is more suspense if you don't know everything. With that being said, i still would say that the features should be in the game, if you wanna use it or not that's another question. Well now it's possible to play broodwar on modern technology and it looks decent. That's the purpose i guess, also new features like matchmaking and profiles, etc. I am happy with it 
A lot of the suspense is derived from knowing more than any single individual player, and this will include things like production and supply. Knowing that there's cloaked banshees on the way, and watching if the other player can scout and react in time creates suspense for the viewer.

the same suspense created from the observer panning into the terran's base and see the control tower lighting up.
BW is a slower game, allows for the OH SHIT moments of it, its why you used to get doom zooms in the middle of a big fight and still not miss much action, although these days because of player cams we don't get them anymore.
