JamesL Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks for the collation skdr, I am likewise well looking forwards to it. Is there any word on a release date yet? (I was losing the will to live reading through the 10+ pages of dross in the other thread). Quote
⌐■_■ Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Nope, not yet. But given all the media provided as of yet, I assume it won't be taking too long now.. Quote
Mazy Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I'm certainly not holding my breath for its release, wouldn't be surprised if we don't see it out until 2009-2010, even when its looking like its fairly far into production. Remember Warcraft 3? When was the first time they showed that off? 2000? And it was released around 2004. Really hope this isn't the case, but I'm prepared for the worst. Anyway, like I said in the old thread, anyone up for some Starcraft in the weekend? (Only if you haven't played in ages and wont kick ass that is ). Quote
MrBaracuda Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Anyway, like I said in the old thread, anyone up for some Starcraft in the weekend? (Only if you haven't played in ages and wont kick ass that is ). "Normal" or Broodwar? I dunno if I can find my normal cd quickly :/ Battlenet then I suppose? Quote
Mazy Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I dont have a...uhmm....non-full demo version of Broodwars :G Quote
KoKo5oVaR Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I would love to, but which version and why on battlenet when we could use hamachi ? erhm https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/default.asp Quote
Pericolos0 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 normal starcraft is alright too . Tonight we fight!!! Quote
twiz Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I lost my CD years ago As for SC2, one thing I have noticed is absent from the trailers released so far, is the protoss carrier. I really hope they'll have it in there. That was my favorite unit, I'd always build a nice fleet of carriers. I'm really curious to see what old tactics will still work and which ones won't, and some of the new tactics that emerge. I hope they won't make me wait too long for it, hopefully before 2009 Quote
MrBaracuda Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I would love to, but which version and why on battlenet when we could use hamachi ? erhm https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/default.asp yea, we'd need to sort that out. I just thought that using bnet was the easiest way to go, but some people here are lame and didn't hold on to their beloved bought blizzard product, so they have to resort to their data security measure copies So yea, latest or just 1.0?

DelaZ Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I'm in! Just digged up my old serial number... No idea where I put that CD though! Guess I'll have to torrent it.. Quote
Grinwhrl Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I lost my ol' Starcraft as well, otherwise I would join Quote
ifO Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Yay a peaceful thread. I might pick his up when it comes out. I haven't played an rts since Red Alert. I need some more gaming diversity, I've been playing multiplayer fps for the past 8 years. Quote
Erratic Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Note sure if it's been posted, but I think this is the official trailer with all past clips in one 20 minute video with the dev commentary. http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&threadid=77929 I love the Protoss units/buildings. Such a slick design to them. [edit] Doh, it's on the official site too, of course http://starcraft2.com/movies.xml#m3 Quote
