Great series so far, and a good representation of the game for those that are curios.

I love DoW 2's campaign but can't stand the mp. I definitely prefer the old-school SC style :D I'm no good at it but it's still fun!
I love DoW 2 but sometimes the comments on balance from their pr guys are asinine.
Check out the Ghosts of the Past trailer (non gameplay). Blizzard always made the dope cutscenes. Disable your adblock on the page for the vid.

That trailer is pretty damn epic.Quote:

That is great. More so has me pumped about Blizzard's Warcraft movie than SCII though. Say what you want about Blizzard, but they put out the most polished products of any game maker. Watching that clip shows how dedicated they are to making a good game.
I kind of want to buy it for the campaign if it is 30+ hours with epic cutscenes like that.
They're dedicated to making money, which sometimes can be done by making an entertaining game with high quality cutscenes.
Edit: Starcraft 2 for $40, reportedly:

The trailer had me excited when I saw it on TV until I saw it was SC2. I just don't get into RTS games.
I love SC as a LAN game, without LAN support there is zero point in me buying SC2 because I'd never play it.
LOL, wait. there's no LAN support? Really, *** is that crap?Quote:

That's a fail in my book. No LAN option kills it. What if you're at a relatively large LAN Party with limited bandwidth? What then?Quote:

i pre-ordered the collectors edition about a month ago but im downloading the game (preload) from bit-torrent since its faster than from blizzards server
I haven't heard or read a single news about the game that rekindled my interest in Starcraft.
I have no interest in MP for this. I plan to buy it for the single player campaign later when it goes on sale.
I just realized something... They better not do this crap with Diablo 3 or there will be hell to pay.. You hear me Blizzard!? HELL TO PAY!!
Who am I kidding it's guaranteed to require Battle.net and Internet :(..
I've heard this game will ship with 90 single player missions. Holy crap. I will never beat it.
Is that for the full trilogy, or the first release alone?Quote:

As long as I can play the single player campaign offline(which I believe you can), I have no problem with LAN not being there. This isn't 1998 where that new-fangled internet has just popped up. Plus, the ladder system is where it's at for this game.
