So I saw that Blizzard has finally officially announced that its working on starcraft 2.

Anyone heard any rumors? One thing i heard is that it'll be an mmo like WoW. I don't know how I feel about that, could be good but could be bad.

They said they were making a MMO Starcraft and a Strat version last I heard.

This will be very interesting. What ever happened to Starcraft: Ghost??

It was released, and it was pretty much as everyone expected. i personally didnt buy it.

edit - now that i look into it, maybe they didnt release it. which is a shame cuz it was all but finished...

so they're releasing 2 things in the sc universe... So basically they're doing the same thing they did with warcraft, release wc3 and then shortly after WoW.

I don't expect either to be released until revenue from WoW dips a bit though. I mean, having a SC MMO will only add competition against their own product. Sure theres everquest and other games like that, but from what I see WoW has a kind of unique feel to it.

Though it will be interesting to see if they do the same kind of layout with race controled territories and contested territories, expecially due to the slightly confusing alliance system between the factions within the races. Like will there be a UED and Confederate area? Is it set before or after the overmind died?

now that i think of it, its probably gona be based after the return of the xelnaga... So until I play SC2 I have no idea what the layout will be like.

I heard they are making the official announcement in south korea at some conference. Can't remember the date of that conference though, just do a little googling.

yeah, though after reading the news article i hope its not what they're talking about. 2 new units per race? protoss got more than that with broodwar.

i hope the game doesnt upset

and i HOPE the game doesnt do heroes like they did with WC3, i hated that aspect of it, expecially cuz they made heroes the make or break part of the game, not just support.

Well that cleared up the fuss. Lol.
