First Person View You know how sometimes if you’re watching an OSL game they will do a fancy animation and then you will be seeing the first person view (what they are seeing on their own screen) of one of the players? Where you can watch their screen flicker rapidly between sections on the map, watch them frantically macroing or deftly microing their units? Well you guessed it. An observer in a Starcraft 2 game will be able to watch any players’ FP View at any time. | ||

Too bad LAN is awesome. Will Battle.net2 latency be an issue now? What if you want to LAN SCII without internet? or simply the internet is down on said LAN? | ||

Although they did tell us that we were playing a pretty rough version, so maybe they were thinking about something else that just hadn't been included yet. Here's a fun tidbit, though... We fucking played it on LAN at Blizzard HQ  | ||

Too bad LAN is awesome. Will Battle.net2 latency be an issue now? In SC you even had an installation that allowed you to play with specific other copy with the same ID. It did not stop SC from being one of the most successful games. Anyway if there would be no LAN = no progaming (at least vastly limited) = less copies sold. | ||
