I do not have the game myself so i havn't seen the total selection of unites, but i believe there is also a firebat type which is called something like "orc in space". Not sure if there's any tos characters in the game...would make sense if there was a zlot and a goon cuz then they'd have first 2 units of the 3 races.

Cool, I never knew that. I don't have the game anymore, I didn't like it too much. Heh, thanks for the info though.

I think the screeshots from WOW are amazing but since it's a MMORPG which on average takes probably twice as long to make and being Blizzard which takes 2-3 times longer then any other game company we'll be lucky if WOW is out this decade. I know, Blizzard makes solid products, maybe so but making a solid product isn't going to speed the release up any, I'd honestly be suprised if they released it before 2006.

well, blizzard isnt really working hard on starcraft ghost. they're just guiding nhilistic. also blizzard is a small company. they only have so many teams to work on projects. i think one of the biggest things they are working on now is World of warcraft.

also a lot of this was discussed in general games. my opinion is still the same. blizzard is a company and companies stay alive by going where the money's at. more people have consoles than pcs capable of running that game at the same level as a console. to make a pc port of the game would probably not yeild a very high result in sales as compared to consoles, so they figured it's not worth investing the time and resources. it's not so easy to just port over to pc. with consoles there's only 1 configuration per console. with pcs there's millions of combinations which allow tons of crazy bugs to pop up, which goes back to the whole resources/money aspect.

lol, i play niether at the moment. SC Ghost does look very interesting though. If they would just name it something else, because making it SC Ghost makes it sound like all you are gonna be is a ghost....but memory(if serves me right) you will be able to be marine as well... oh well. Looks awsome, and would be great PC Online game as well.

oh, and i believe SC2 rumors began when a group of people on a forum were talking about how cool it would be if they made it, and were thinking of ideas that could be put into gameplay. One i really remember is things in air dieing and crashing into ground(BC, muta, carrier) and damaging other units...
