That trailer is pretty damn epic.

Damn you, marketing. Still not buying it.

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:

Link seems dead but the blog post for that trailer is up: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/29635

I'm still not buying this but it looks cool.

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.

BattleNet will be the only multiplayer option.

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?

Or no bandwidth and want to play with your roommate? Why the hell should I have to go through an ISP chokepoint?

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 :(..
