That's kinda lame although plenty of PC gamers are probably celebrating.  I was hoping that they would try some new stuff like Starcraft:Ghost or maybe a rpg with more character development/plot.  Oh well, at least I could get a free copy now.

I don't know what to believe anymore. It better be SC2. MMORPG's are kinda bleh and we can just pretend titan quest is diablo 3 so SC2 would be pretty sweet.

You mean like being one of the best selling PC games ever?

WC3 sold extremely well and is still very heavily played.

It's also a really awkward and confused game. If it wasn't for the Blizzard polish and name brand , that game would have gotten some seriously mean review scores.

I hope so, for at least PC gaming's sake.

ehh, war3 gets so old because it's so slow.

playing 1v1 is like a chore and not even fun.

only the team games were exciting because it's a little easier to act as teammates in that game moreso than starcraft.  in starcraft if both players don't react instantly, they will fuck their forces over, which is why 1v1 is so important in starcraft.

in war3 if you run like over a second late you MIGHT lose another unit? lol

slow ass boring ass game.  yet i played over 3000 ladder games :)  what can i say it's a blizzard game, ya kinda have to play it :)

I just hope they do better graphics this time.  I know Blizzard is always concerned with making games that run on all systems but I'll like to see them push the technological envelope for once.

blizzard games almost always push the limits.  they're just in production so long that they're not the "top" when they're released.  but still pretty much perfect games.

Honestly I think I'd be more interested in a non RTS than SC2. I used to hate RTS games until I started playing non Blizzard RTS, then I discovered that there are RTS games that are actually fun, interesting and take actual thought and not just memorization of hot keys.
