the way I feel about sc2 is the same way I feel about wc3

The engine will result in some awesome UMS and the game will live...

Nothing CAN or should try to replace starcraft in the RTS e-sports sense. The balance, game immersion and mechanics in SC and SC:BW is JUST RIGHT. You can create flashier engines and change units but the original is still the best.

So, in summary, like some people said, this will be a visually stimulating game that will result in some awesome UMS', but I expect and ask for nothing more.
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Shuuuuut up dude. In all the posts I've seen you make you are always calling someone elitist, either someone with a different opinion than you or "Starcraft fans in general." Maybe you are the one being stubborn and elitist, thinking you are better than "the rest" of the "normal SC" fans on this site and that your opinion is clearly right. Please come up with a real arguement sometime and quit assuming you are THE representative of the non SC playing public and that thus you clearly are more "objective" about SC2. Sorry to rip on you but it's obvious to me that you are a borderline bad poster/wave my epenis around semi-troll. Obviously he wasn't saying people didn't like better graphics or that the graphics were bad. Get it in your head. It's just harder to follow as a spectator atm and I agree with that as do many of my 18-23 year old demographic gaming friends who don't still play SC and aren't "SC ELITISTS OMG LOLOL"

Anyways to reply to OP, it looks hella fun to play and I'm sure it'll be awesome (auto surround has me a bit nervous) but as for watching it as a spectator I don't really feel it has the same charm yet

Blizzcon 07: I played SC2 twice and didn't think much of it.
Blizzcon 08: I played ~10 games and it was ok.
Blizzcon 09: I couldn't get enough SC2. It's completely awesome now, and I can't wait to see it in beta.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

This will probably be my last Blizzcon since SC2 will be released in '10. Been following the game ever since it was announced. The game has been improving leaps and bounds each following year. I'm sad no beta came out but it'll come eventually.

Edit: Oh yeah. Nerf David Kim.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

from an observers stand point the 2v2 seemed like a total mess of units; i couldnt tell one team from the other, or even the colours apart. I expect this will be cleared up once i get more familiar with the game but sc:bw is so simple to tell the colours apart. Death animation are still not clear enough for my taste. Gameplay is more important that asthetics!!!

I found that to be true. I think its cuz in sc the units main appearance was programmed to change colour (like a teal and green goon looks TOTALLY different because the top was all changed), while in sc2 its a bit hard to tell... maybe it had to do with char layout of the map and maybe the players all got like black and dark blues :/. Also everyone is so used to the pixels in starcraft. We just have to get used to the 3D aspect.

Watching the live SC2 1v1 and 2v2 matches showed that SC2 is already extremely entertaining to watch so I think that's a very good sign. I'm not more excited now then I was before blizzcon, but I think SC2 will be a cool game. However, I doubt it will be playable at a SC-like professional level for a few years after it's release.

I didn't realize this until just now when I cracked open SC1, but right now SC1 looks a little emptier and plainer to me. Is this blasphemous?

Even though the game might not be able to produce a platform for any competitive/professional gaming at first, that might be the most exciting part of SCII. We'll get to devise our own BOs and strategies, figuring out the balance in the game ourselves and designing the 3hat muta equivalent against Terran. We get to shape a metagame! What could be more fun than that?

Seeing so many ppl thinking SC2 is gonna suck is no surprise to me.

Doesnt matter what, wich, who, how, whatever, the game is, it will be bad for them.
Happy these guys dont change nothing and are unheard.

And some ppl even dare to judge balance. I lol soo much when i see these kind of arguments.
I wish they play SC1 Beta and see how bad it was balanced. Based on 2d graphics the game was destined to failure for many ppl, since 3d was the way to go.
Because of that SC1 sucked?
Or the patches made the game the balance greatness it is today?
It doesnt matter, some ppl dont think.

Seeing how cool and how well its turning, SC2 is gonna be the best game ever, for sure.
Blizzard is indeed trying to make the best sequel of all time.

I can imagine all the good maps that will be made in this amazing editor.
Buying starcraft 2 will grant you a lots of different games inside the other, like Dota/war3.
Cant wait for it!

I chose "it will suck" simply because of the 3D engine. Much like w3. And yes i've played thousand of games on it, and still when in melee combat, all i'm focusing is the bottom and top left on the screen. Because it's just a TOTAL mess. Impossible to know what's happening with all this stuff going on at the same time.
I've watched the battle report, and i fear it feels the same plus their colours aren't "brightier" which really really kills the game not only for me but also for the spectator point of view.
Even though they've improved a lot in the past months they still fail imo.
But it's still beta eh ? At least pre beta.

i still can't understand why people don't think zerg can hack it.

in every game i've ever played(that was made right..) the fastest units are the best. u can't beat zerg speed and mobility and that is what will separate them from the other races once people get good enough with them. the reason zerg isn't winning as many games is because they're the hardest to learn((so far)this may change in later stages).

zerg may lack something, and i'm not arguing against that, but i doubt it's as much as most think.

i feel zerg is quite formidable at this point if for no other reason than zerglings. most imba unit ever.

I'm noticing a hilarious trend in this thread where n00bs to TL.net love SC2 and can't wait to play it and bash people who like SC1 more, or aren't excited for SC2, and a lot of the old timer guys are saying they're unsure of whether SC2 will be good or not, or that they're "cautiously optimistic", etc. I fall on the side of the old timers (check my join date before you say anything) and I think SC2 will not be nearly as deep or as challenging as SC1, but I do think it will be fun, if not for the UMS. But paying for battle.net and map packs is fucking bullshit.
