I thought a while back Blizzard said it would be impossible to rewind replays unless they did a complete overhaul on the engine and coding. Gom/Esports must've pushed them really fucking hard on this one. But that leads me to wonder about the LAN thing. Esports would never let LAN disappear, there must be some crazy LAN 2.0 thing now. btw, nice write up LastRomantic | ||

That's ridicolous - no more lan partys at home ppl! XD Anyways, it's still confirmed that Zergs are the weakest race now in SC2 - they don't do enough dps, don't have an air-air counter (scourge) despite of mutas who, well, don't do enough damage to stop something in time. Zergs are going to see hard time with that protoss teletransport air thingy. That's pretty bad - no groundbreaking nda announcement But still eagering for the game to come | ||

Karune agrees too, but I'm not sure Blizzard is aware exactly HOW strong. More details from Zatic if you bug him. | ||

The only multiplayer available will be on Battle.net. | ||

How did protoss feel early game? Do the collossi really same that powerful/useful? Is the infestor very useful past early game? | ||

I like a lot of the things Im seeing in the tech trees and though theres surely going to be a ton of balancing issues the game looks fun as hell to play already. | ||

LR were you guys not allowed to take in-game screenshots/photos? were they at ? gotta say the game is looking "fun" but also seriously flawed. -starport is prereq for DTs, templar, and Robo support bay? the core used to be the key to any and all tech in BW. that led to so many cool styles and BOs. Now, Toss users have to core, and starport to get HTs? makes no sense. -banelings are the demolition dwarfs from wc3. im not interested in mass suicide ground units. skurgee were amazing because you only made a few of them and really have to micro well to make them effective. massing a bunch of green demolition dwarfs to blow up shit while burrowed.. that is not zerg style. -mutalisks sound like mere caricatures of their former selves and no scouge? an anti-air unit that turns enemy air units into "airborne turrets"? come one man, wtf. sounds like they are making all units with the idea that in battle these units will always be massed and a-moved into each other. -mothership is so fail. why do we need useless units in sc2 browder? -Terran seems so imba and Zerg so weak. -still no inclusion of f2-f4 keys? -its really easy to sit here without having played the game with its sleek new graphics and complain.. but honestly. i can't help but think that except for the starcraft intellectual property involved this game is looking for like warcraft meets C&C | ||
