Wow, the Terran vs Zerg one is pretty good. Now, I want to play this game bad!

Although, it does seem unbalanced...seems Terran is overpowered? or is David Kim that good...

This is one of the most anticipated RTS games ever, I hope it won't be too hardware demanding :biggrin:

These are the minimum system requirements. I couldn't find others

Minimum System Requirements for Starcraft 2
Processor: 1.4 Ghz Processor
Memory: 512 MB RAM
Graphics card: 128 MB RAM video card capable of Hardware TnL. DX10 is not required, but will be supported by SC2 and Blizzard are considering adding DX10 specific effects.
Pixel Shader 2.0 (Officially Confirmed)

Harddisk:
Soundcard: A DirectX-compatible 16-bit sound card.
OS: Windows Wista, Windows XP or Mac OS. (Officially Confirmed)
Connection: Access to Blizzard Entertainment's online gaming service, Battle.net, requires a low-latency, active Internet connection rated at 28.8 Kbps or faster.

From the minimum specs, it seems I'll be able to play it :D

Are you sure? Where did you get this info from? An RTS game from Blizzard without LAN support would be awkward.

Multiplayer games played over a LAN require an active connection to a TCP/IP network.

its never a sure thing, but surely better than random forum user rants - user opinions have to make a clear statement and if the publisher makes excuses or ignores such (decent) requests then he must be prepared to face the consequences (lower sales, game/multiplayer boycott and so on) - gotta hit them where it hurts --> sales/profit :klatsch_3:

btw. this goes for every field of interest: anti-p2p's, GMO's and so on :biggrin:

well, there is this other possibility thats like free khm, khm, :wink:

we shouldn't be too surprised about this episode-type-of-games - it has been sort of a new trend lately (half life 2, sam & max), maybe its even a logical development since they can create more game contents during a longer period of time, but it may also cost up to 3 times the usual price of a game...anyways, i'm not complaining if it'll be a 3 times longer gameplay :wishful thinking:

24.10.09, 06:10
I was annoyed at first when i read the news that it would be split into 3 parts. But what you must realise is, you can still play all 3 races in multiplayer/skirmish. Its just the single player that you can't play for all 3 races, in saying that though, the singleplayer campaign will now consist of some 30 missions. These missions are quite comprehensive and you can choose to do some and not others, buy / research specific units etc. The single player setup overall looks amazing, you should check out some of the campaign videos :).

Now if only they would get into beta already, its been months :(. They appear to be focusing on the next WoW expansion at the moment....figures.

i think there is a multiplayer beta available for download,I saw some on Blackats and a crack i think,if you wanna you can try it out...

SBfreak
24.02.10, 16:12
The probability that it will actually work is pretty low.

saebrtooth
25.02.10, 05:42
the would be low maybe cos blizzard may easily detect it somehow.

Unless Blizzard is leaving out massive amounts of code from one version to another, meaning essentially the are all te same, Just like Windows vers but just need a key to unlock, then its just a matter of time when they are cracked.

23.07.10, 20:21
I'm thinking of buying it as well :smile:,
but before i do that, i will wait for patches to fix the game bugs
Also i'd better buy it as an AIO with expansions and other stuff with a discount.

slikrapid
23.07.10, 21:40
would you people boycott it (ie. refuse to buy) if they don't include LAN multiplayer (battlenet only)?

Don't gamers always say the same thing over and over again?, did it ever work?
Has Activision released Modern Warfare 2 dedicated servers?

Blizzard..., they just don't give a damn because they know people die for a blizzard title,
simply because ALL blizzard games are amazing and this is a fact :lol:
each blizzard game lasts long(very) and you never get bored of it, example: i played Diablo II 4 times already, i also have a character at battle.net. its been always fun.

Now answering your question,
I'll talk about myself, No, I don't think i will boycott them,
but buying the game late for a lower price is boycotting? no ? :smile:

Anyway LAN for me isn't that great, i can't do it (a lot) at my house nor in gaming cafe's, so removing LAN isn't a problem for me or at least not a problem any more..
in fact i don't want a cracked copy, i like to take it online and pwn people from around the globe 8)

SCII beta is amazing and i expect no less for the full game :smile:

age of empires 3 online >>> aoe3 in lan
yes i have aoe3 legal :D

PS: can't wait for Diablo 3 ;)

Sazzy
23.07.10, 22:08

tbh, rather than refusing to buy, ppl should refuse to play.

you're kidding, right? its south korea of course - as for some reporters that use just 'korea' it shows their level of professionalism (or lack thereof)

starcraft and global politics connection? there is more than one thinks:


So what does StarCraft II have in common with the Korean War? July 27, 2010 is an interesting date to choose for the highly anticipated release. On July 27, 1953 the United States, the People’s Republic of China, and North Korea signed an armistice agreement.

Starcraft 2 a Disappointment: 7 Reasons Not to Buy it


One of the most expected games has been released yesterday and a lot of people are disappointed by it. Of course there are a lot of gamers who enjoy Starcraft 2, but it does lack a lot of features and Blizzard does seem to do their best to rip off the customers. I will list here some of the most important reasons why you shouldn’t buy Starcraft 2.

1. No LAN Mode
2. No Offline Mode
3. The Price
4. Only Terran campaign
5. DRM
6. No Cross-Region play
7. No Chat Rooms

1. yoco has a bad download speed and i am sure he doesn't want to download the whole 7gigs again
2. razor nfo has "update the game after install" so I just guessed it's the same version released by liberty and reloaded. there hasn't been another update for SC2 as far as i know
