In game voice prolly wont work in sc2 or it wont be used. Just as everyone has "IM clients" pretty much every gamer nowadays knows what ventrillo,skype or any other kind of communication program. It might work for it, but even the wow in game voice chat is terrible and no one would ever use it over the quality you can get. | ||

It sort of "revives" the game when you get bored of it. Not so much the game perhaps but your spark for attention to it. I'm pretty sure the 100 marines bit would more than likely be spread out over multiple games not 1 game. Because honestly if M&M isn't working and usually most players go tech depending on their opponent's build and/or race then earning the achievement would be close to impossible. Would make much more sense to spread it out over multiple game sessions. | ||

I thought it'd be obvious by now that blizzard is a company that wants to cater to as many people as possible. Jesus.. | ||

It's kind of a huge steam rip off in many aspects. But I think it will be quite functional since there will likely be an out of game component just like steam from where you can launch your games, chat with people etc. The one thing I hope it has is persistent chat channels or lobbies. It would suck without that to find clans and just actually chat with people. The player made chat channels are ok but don't serve the same function | ||

Furthermore I don't get the sence of this avatar thing, you don't have to play for an avatar anymore, you now gain achievments?! Boring, too .. Although it somehow favours players who are not going to be 24/7-obsessed with sc2 ^^ Dustin Browder mentioned there would be lots of stats and stuff for players to look at, so they can see where they improve in each game etc. It was one of the things he talked about most. I think it will be in for sure, this is just the basic bnet 2.0 interface that will cross over to all blizzard games. As far as sc2 specific bnet additions theres still much more to come. | ||

- Online replay support, maybe even with drawing on screen etc - WaaaghTV equivalent - API to either enable third party programs to connect into bnet for chatting easily or the possibility to connect into IRC out of the new Bnet Thing's they incorporated that suck - All the achievement shit - Hundreds of goddamn leagues and ladders that would be better off hosted by dedicated fans. Hell, the feature they introduced for BW, which allowed everyone to host their ladder on bnet was neat, if it had functioned properly. Why not bring it back? The way it is now you'll have to play in a competitive environment with slow and lousy adminstration, without having one fucking alternative where to go. Every attempt of a developer to host its own competitive scene so far have been embarrassing as shit and I don't even see Blizzard going another way. Well, you don't even need to speculate about this one, since they already failed at it horribly in WoW. I was there for some arena finals that were held combined with the WC3L (which is not done by Blizzard) finals. Blizzard poured a shitload of money into cash prizes for the Arena Tournament and no one gave a damn (it was also really boring, and even I, as a WoW experienced player, didn't understand most of the action), everyone was just angry they didn't get to see all of the clanwars on stage. There was another company once here in Germany, all into big ESPORTS and stuff, sponsoring tournaments with 500.000€ (afair), and still it sucked an no one cared. Also, take a look at EA, they sponsor and hype one of their games after another and they all suck. One might argue that Sc2 doesn't suck and therefor these examples don't apply, but imho a simple fact applies: Either your game owns and you don't have to do one thing for competitive institutions to spawn left and right, or your game sucks and all the prize money in the world can't help that fact. (Ugh, that was a long rant.) Well, they also did get some stuff right in "Bnet 2.0", but that's mostly mandatory features that already were in Wc3. And I bet they won't even go as far as incorporating the really interesting social features that could be done, like being able to read the guild chat of your WoW chars in Sc2 (and participating) or maybe completely link WoW guilds with Sc2 clans. All in all, I'd rather have them taking the Wc3 bnet as a foundation, building in online replay support and LAN latency (is that even coming for Bnet 2.0?), and getting Sc2 into shelves half a year earlier. | ||
