Any word on how this game plays on mobile broadband/wireless dialup? The C&C 4 beta was absolutely horrible, not because of the connection speeds, but because of how it would cause my modem drivers to crash.
Whats so bad about TvP and ZvT, I play mostly T and Z and never had an issue with a particular race.
Warp-in and chrono boost help Protoss way too much against Terran... Terran can't get units or high tech nearly as fast as Protoss. So basically if you're Protoss and you tech to Warp-In and get like 3-4 gateways, you can get a ton of zealots way too fast for Terran to be able to counter it...
Zerg gets owned way too hard by Marine/Marauder/Medivac.... As well as Mass Thors or Mass Raven or Mass Viking..., did I mention Zerg air units are just a complete waste of resources against Terran? :P
I've always been able to get mass MM before protoss can get much, if you get 3 or 4 gateways you should have 3 barracks.
BL owns everything? Even the corruptor and mutalisks are great. I like hydras against terran in the mid game, sometimes I try to rush roach, it can work against either race if you do it early. I always out expand with zerg so no race ever can out resource me.
dfact, go check on steam hardware polls and see what hardware is the strangest of them all, but still fall in requirements of sc2, I believe they pull beta players based on hardware difference :P.
Been playing Blizzard titles for 15 years and still no beta for me. There is no justice in this world. T_T
ya they figured that people who've been with them since their the lost viking release have played with blizzard enough already so why give them the chance.
Is it just me, or is the music really underwhelming and forgettable?
I actually think the whole sound design this time around is really not nearly as interesting.
I'm wondering if this game can nearly be as timeless as #1 seems to be. I'm wondering what the Koreans think of all this
because its pretty much the best balanced rts out there and was for its time pretty darn great, a real campaign with a real story not like age for example with almost random feeling maps
but seriously i'm too old for this, gives me heartattacks, too much pressure, not gonna say my nick... ha!

Not so real actually, they ripped it off Warhammer 40k by Game workshop. That game was completely balanced and Blizzard liked it that time. They did ask Game workshop to turn the WH40k in to a Video game rather than table top game, but the Game workshop refused. approx, 2 years later, Starcraft 1 by blizzard was released.
So doesnt matter how great the game is, they wouldnt know the first thing about the "balanced rts / rpg" if they fail to balance their initial game, which also have the first part, that is rip off of another Game Workshop's called Warhammer table top, known as warcraft.
The only game by Blizzard that looks real, made from the scratch without looking at someone else work is Diablo, but some people claim that it was ripped off of DDO.
Why the hell would you get banned for being a dumbass? There is no super censorship evil empire here.
Saying that a meticulously designed RTS with derivative art stole its game balance from a tabletop game is silly but nobody is going to ban you. Troof.
I wouldn't go that far. I'd say it's very rare to be truly original.
Even if Blizzard based their RTS games off of the War Hammer model game I wouldn't think lesser of them. It was a great idea to make a video game off of that type of gameplay and it's Game Workshop's fault for not realizing that if they really wouldn't let get a contract from them.
I believe they did went with copying the overall feeling of the warhammer and wh40k themes and looks, but they sure did build their own world and styles from it from that.
I mean, spacemarines in wh40k are glorious brothers who masturbate to the picture of the emperor.
spacemarines in starcraft are mostly criminals or hillbillies who gets a cool exosuit and a gun, and someone who points them to the closest target.
The first StarCraft is widely known as one of the best balanced RTS games of all time, not to mention each race is quite unique (unlike most RTS games).
On another note, I just received another StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Beta Invite. PM me if you are interested in playing the StarCraft II Beta.
@Zipfinator: I havent even crossed the line yet, there are sides of the game where you do see the difference and their own concepts, stories, arts in most cases, and it maybe hard for you to believe that I am a hardcore fan of the Blizzard Entertainment, 80% of Blizz fans are known to the facts behind Blizzard which they tend to hide. It just twisted my mind when Neox said "because its pretty much the best balanced rts out there and was for its time pretty darn great, a real campaign with a real story not like age for example with almost random feeling maps."
I mean now people will start niglecting the original master mind of the balanced rts games such as Game Workshop who have done what took Blizzard 2-3 years to understand and create. They would just start worshipping Blizzard Entertainment, claiming that stuff is for real and so on. Ya that very statement, ticked me off.
Anyways, I apologise for breaking my cool off.
I apologise to Blizz entertainment personnel here if there are any.
I'm not trying to hid the fact that they could have copied their gameplay from War Hammer. I'm just saying if they did I wouldn't think less of them because they somewhat made it their own and it was a great idea to turn that table top kind of play into a video game where a larger audience could play it.
