I'm having some trouble getting Ladder wins  Anyways, I'm hyped up - I can't wait to play the SC2. If it's of any consolation, all the 10 APM noobs will come back to play SC2, and then I can make some money off bets ^_^ | ||

1. Although as a hardcore fan, I'm glad that the potential game could be true to SC, I actually think this is an extremely bad decision. My guess is that Blizzard will NOT move this way. Releasing basically an expansion pack would make us all happy, but it would mean that the game would flop in the public's eye (game reviewers, average joe). Note that Q4 for the most part tried to mimic Q3 with a graphics overhaul - not only did it get slammed in general, but it also has a very anemic community. As much as I hate to say it, we need a game that will be flashy and new and appeal to new people, because face it, they keep this game alive as much as the hardcore community does. 2. I actually claimed (under account name naventus) that SC2 was under works a few months ago. Everyone ridiculed my post, and concluded it had to be satire. My source back then was someone in touch with the industry mentioning that Blizzard had just drained a bunch of people to work on D3 and SC2 and SC2 had just been started (D3 a bit further). Just a told you so - otherwise they wouldn't potentially have the beta out by the end of the year/rumors now  . | ||

Sc now is mostly the competetive community, the only things that the ones who play casually do is make pub games and fill in space on b.net so it doesn't look empty. This will happen anyway just because of the "starcraft" title sc2 will have. Not catering to the wants of the competetive community would be the bad choice by blizzard since that IS what sets sc apart from other games. | ||

why oh why!? I see the day coming where i have to cut my internet connection so i don't get sucked into the hypestorm. It could be massive...or not. Who knows?? Who the fuck knows? Drives me crazy.Starcraft 2 is one of the last games i have acctualy hope for. Hope that it wont be one of "those" games wich you play and just go "meh...not enough". | ||

look at the difference between warcraft 2 and 3. that is the sort of thing that really needs to happen. with the starcraft name, blizzard can afford to take risks in order to push the genre forward, and it is by far the best title that can be used to push e-sports a little bit farther into the mainstream. anything but a fully revamped game that plays essentially nothing like its predecessor would be pathetic. i want starcraft 2, not starcraft: rehashed. | ||

New race or new units or both :D. Better graphics but still 2D. Possibility to ctrl+number same buildings at one number and all units and 1 number too only in ums Tabbing between unit groups just like W3 but here tab - groups, ctrl+tab or sth like that to tab between units - good for like tank placement, caster using.You could do it old way or new way, what you would prefer. TvZ would get easier, where for pros it wouldnt matter ;-) When you have like 5 HT marked, they would storm one by one, not all at once - I would love it(like every other low apm user) but it would kill the fun of controlling units, where you can always get better heh. | ||

same, i think the decision of which ht (based on position, energy etc.) should be left to the player + their speed | ||
