official StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

[Lucas]

me too! i cant wait to get some 2v2/3v3 action going on. :woot:

How about some girl on girl action?

[Sem XL]

just finished installing and had a quick game

very impressed with the level of polish

wish the hud was abit smaller tho

[Argote]

I just thought of this now, but do you guys think it's the same disc for both PC and Mac versions? Nobody has ever mentioned this.

This has been the case with all previous Blizzard games that I know of so I'd think it is the same disc.

[Ayepecks]

I saw a commercial for this a few hours ago on ESPN.

First time I've seen a commercial for a computer-exclusive game. Given the INSANE amount of money spent on developing this, and the fact that they've probably got a bunch more in marketing, I have to wonder if StarCraft II is going to give Activision much profit for a while. The original sold great, and sold well in its first few years, but it's popularity is because it stayed in the sales charts for a long, long time.

Well considering they have a Starcraft 2 plane, I'd say so. But I have seen commercials for it all day long, all of which have made me feel 8 again.

Damn you Blizzard! Retail copies will activate fine in the EU now, but you can't activate the digital download copy until 9am this morning

>.<

Oh? The original SC+ BW had their own Mac versions.

[_neutrino Veteran]

I won't get to pic it uptill my lunch break :(

[Sikh]

Neztea thanks for the update. Haha on the cockblockness :p.

No really I'm glad blizzard put up blocks for people so those who break street date are still ****ed haha.

But I CANT WAIT TILL 8am tomorrow. I want my COLLECTORS!!

[Argote]

Really? I have the original discs somewhere and I recall them being for both... I could be wrong though.

Umm, anyone got the wiki for the first Starcraft? I need to refresh my memory of the story and all that.

And is it only available digitally from Blizzards store?

[Tha Bloo Monkee]

tomorrow guys!

i'm assuming stores will be doing a midnight launch thing like some other popular games?

You have never seen the "What's your game?" WoW adverts?

I'm excited about getting this! I'm tempted to try and get it at midnight, but I won't be able to play tomorrow until the evening...

How is the digital download DRM going to work? Does anyone know?

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

This is a bad time to have no money :(

[Shadrack]

Another question about digital download: Will the Mac and PC game clients be available for digital download with a single purchase (single user, of corse)? Their Digital Download FAQ looks lacking:

http://us.battle.net/en/info/digital-purchase

I'll probably just go get myself a physical copy. Just another box to stare at and wonder if I'll ever throw away. Blah.

both are available to download if you buy digital. same with all of their games.

Yeah, my Starcraft and Brood Wars discs are for both platforms. Keep in mind that I bought them with the Battle Chest, so I'm not sure if it was like that from day one.

And Future Shop still hasn't shipped my pre-order yet. One of my buddies already got his game delivered to him from Best Buy, so apparently it's just a case of bad luck :( .

I just came back from mine.. apparently I didn't get the headset.. (but it's ok.. it was a crappy one anyway).. Here's a pic of the poster.. and hat. Also want to point out.. there is no tech tree guide this time around.. for all of the old school players. :laugh:

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I wasn't able to get the Collector's Edition, the poster, and the hat. It's all good though. I'm happy with the game. Now if only my DVD drive would stop acting up and read the damn disc.

I would like to add that there was actually two CE's left when it was me and my friend's turn to go in. We wanted it, but we held back as we know we have to give a bunch more for Legendary Edition for Halo Reach. :D. But yeah, I'm happy. Installing on my laptop now.. just finished on my desktop. :)

[RadishTM Veteran]

Nice poster but I much prefer the one I got :)
