[Helba]

I repeat...

OH! Who guessed it?!

[-Hiroshi-]

LOL

[Eli]

Hopefully Blizzard.com will be updated shortly

3:05 - Morheim says everyone eager to see actual game - going to show actual gameplay - bringing up SC2 lead designer. Dustin Browder.

[Helba]

See you on Battle.net, everybody!

[gentoogod123]

hopefully its an offline / online game and not an mmo

[Lighthalzen]

I creamed myself!!!!! LONG LIVE STARCRAFT!

[SnowRanger13]

Good stuff definitely will have to check it out. I'm guessing it will be PC/MAC like most of Blizzard games? To get my Diablo fix I will just have to check out Hellgate:London witch I hope dosen't suck.

Holy crap, I'm so excited. I've been waiting for this game since I beat the campaigns on Brood War.

[Osiris]

so is it Starcraft 2 RTS, or MMO or what?

[Berserk87]

ABOUT TIME!! WOOOOOOOT! :D :D

[Eli]

Don't know yet.

3:07 - Showing gameplay footage - Looks like protoss ships - floating over asteroid/ base structure - entering protoss ase - similar looking buildings - vespene gas still in the game - character pane shows up on right side - some protoss guy - shifts to terran bases floating on rockets over same type of territory - sill collecting crystals as resources - marines load out. Dustin is actually playing the game - nothing in the game is final.

It's never going to live up to the original or the hype... I can just hear the hordes of whining fanbois now....

[Deadlydread]

Well considering the post I made a few weeks ago its Starcraft 2, the MMORTS, and if you go to the IGN page for it, it seems to back that claim.

[gentoogod123]

I think its gonna be an rts like the original or they would probably call it world of starcraft or something.

[SnowRanger13]

So now the big question is.... when can we get this!? lol

[Berserk87]

if someone gets that vid post it!

[gentoogod123]

So now the big question is.... when can we get this!? lol

Its gonna be bundled with duke nukem forever

[Eli]

3:09 - controlling protoss zealots - still has psi blades and personal shield - new charge ability that let him quickly close range on enemies. Siege tanks shown - still the same type of behavior where they can lock down - take out zealots really quickly - new protoss unit - called immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.

Sounds like an RTS

[Zoue]

So now the big question is.... when can we get this!? lol

About 2 years.

Me too, I was pressing F5 and POOF!.

The new units sounds very interesting, plus the person who is writing the article is doing a pretty good job too over @ IGN.

LoL yeah I was all "Its gone..!?"

3:10 - Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability. Zerg start coming in, giant worms pop out of ground unleasing zerglings. Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard.
