EPTAnd if multiple building selection doesn't stay, having more view of your horizontal base sure is going to be better than the player stuck in a veritcle base who has to scroll 3 times to get to all his factories.

In Starcraft 2 we're expecting the game to have multiple resolutions, therefore someone running a higher resolution also has the advantage of seeing more of the battlefield. I remmber back to Ra2 days where you were forced to play in 640x480 res in ladder matches so it wasnt unfair. Im curious to see if blizzard will do anything similar to make it more fair, or will they just leave it. Play blizzard's latest released 3D RTS , aka Warcraft III , play with its resolutions etc , then come back here and comment... | ||

I guess dudes mostly want to know whether widescreen users will be able to "see more" or not. I personally dont see why not. widescreen lcds have fast become the standard and at this point its almost hard NOT to buy one, 95% of lcds that come out are widescreen. lcds are about as good as CRTs for gaming now and arguably are better on a persons eyes(Are for me at least). So it would make sense to support the standard and I think people overestimate the advantage widescreen would have anyway. The only reason why seeing 15% more horizontally in SC1 would be a big deal is because it would mean less scrolling around to make groups and macro. Anything else would be basically the same. And it wouldnt be an arbitrary advantage anyway, anyone could easily go out and BUY a widescreen monitor if they feel somehow cheated. | ||

via : http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=57525 Q: Can you blink up cliffs, or does it work like a World of Warcraft Mages Blink where you can only go in a straight line? A1: You can blink anywhere that is visible (and trust me, I tried to blink to unreachable areas). That means if you are being chased by Zerglings, run your stalkers to a cliff and blink to the top of it and the Zerglings have to run around to kill them. A2: You can only blink Stalkers to where you have a line of sight. I also tried to blink up onto a cliff expo that I couldn't see and it didn't work. Bring an observer along though, and blinking anywhere is possible. | ||

only problem with it is when you have a group and you have 1 straggler, it all wont blink to the same spot, kinda like that storm spread trick | ||

It would be silly from Blizzard not to do so, because in a few years most users will have a widescreen monitor anyways. And concerning CRT - I really doubt they have future and LCDs are getting better and better. | ||

 can show more on the sides. They can still display the exact same amount of actual unit space. Think about it. | ||

You can display the same height with a widescreen monitor. But you will always have more view in the width (no stretching assumed). If you want to have the same viewing angle with a 4:3 monitor you will have to accept black borders on top and bottom as in every 16: 9 movie displayed on a 4:3 TV. Widescreen monitors have 16:10 though. | ||
