Forums - Gaming Discussion - The Blizzard Announcement Tonight

I don't know how this looks, but it sure sounds cool!

warprey also very effective against structures - very vulnerable to small unit fire - shws warpreys getting wiped out by terran marines. Physics system lets debris from warpreys roll down a ramp. Showing one more unit - warped in in a serious of cubes - giant floating base - called a protoss mothership - can only have 1 at a time - cost big resources - special abilities include timebomb that slows all enemy missiles inside - shows terran missle launcher shooting in projectiles that stop in the field before they reach the ship - when field ends missiles drop the ground - planet cracker attack - giant lasers stream from ship to ground - ship can be moved around while planet cracker laser is active - the ship looks like a metallic, triangular sand dollar - mothership can create a black hole anywhere it wannts to - creates distortion that actually sucks ships in and destroys them - in the demo the black hole destroyed four terran battle cruisers in about ten seconds.

Thank you Blizzard.  I love you.  A decade wait...now make it worth it.

As for new races, the end of Broodwar, the hidden level, hinted at a Zerg-Protoss hybrid, so we'll see.  The major point is all the races need to be balanced.  Starcraft was perfection in that it had 3 completely unique races with completely unique units, buildings, and abilities, and yet it was balanced.  We'll see if they can repeat that.

I'm a first time forum user, is that what I was doing? Let me review..... holy crap, by nerdy online definition by which I'm embarrassingly and slowly learning, I was. I didn't even realize your in the world statement until now. No wait, I wasn't because I didn't realize I was doing it until mentioned it and I was joking (except the half of life online part).



I have loved Starcraft alot, IMO its the best RTS game out there, most balanced and very fast pace game play. but now after seeing SC2 footage, I hate to say it but, I"m not impress of it going 3D. 3D never worked for a fast pace game like Starcraft, blizzard need to realize the fun factor of SC1 is the fast pace gameplay. going 3D will end up like C&C which plays horrible.

uhh...yeah...the game looks just like starcraft 1 except better.  it looks like it will run just fine on old systems, indicating that the gameplay will be fast.
