Since HALF the people fail to realize this, I guess I have to actually explain this for the 52nd time.

The lack of crossrealm play, chat rooms, and LAN are something that even a casual gamer will recognize.


Cross realm play will be availiable. The reason why it wasn't availiable in the beta test is self-explanatory. What was StarCraft II for the past few months? A beta.

I've seen casual gamers go "hey, how do you chat in this game?" or "hey, how do I play with my friend? I don't see him online".


Just like the above about cross realm play, Blizzard themselves explained on the forums that you'll be able to get chatrooms back. During the Beta, they were NOT FOCUSING on that part. They were wanting to balance the game, not have a fully functional game ready to roll at the get go. They already knew before hand the beta was going to be trivial, which is why they kept many features out of our hands.

End.

I think Pokebunny's Bnet paragraph really hit the nail on the head. I still feel a lot of the game is running off the fuel of Starcraft: Broodwar, even after 12 years.

I also thought the Balance section was good, criticizing the "Keep the community in the dark" and the lack of unit diversity was also very accurate.

Keep 'em coming Pokebunny!

BattleCraft is awesome! It is popular enough to have its own metagame (ultras? use siege tank to counter. siege tanks? add lings. tanks dying to lings? add marines.) It almost justifies making a whole website dedicated to strategies and guides.
Same difference is not an oxymoron!

I think that the biggest hit to spectator value comes from the units moving in artificial looking clumps and balls.. completely different from sc1 unit movement.

Do the Saracen is awesome column!

Also, great job on the report card Pokebunny! I would've put in a grade for the editor though.

edit: also, ever since (I think it was Grobyc) Grobyc said "wtf happened to my cpu" in that TL arena post I started having problems with my computer. Now SCII makes my internet 2x slower than normal every day I play it but when I don't play it my internet is at its normal speed. BW forever!!! O wait, isn't b.net2.0 being ported over to the other games?!?
