People said that with Starcraft, now they are saying it with starcraft 2.
It’s all bull. we know very well that you can have a swarm of battle cruires and get owned by 50 zerglings
Starcraft 2 explaination (kinda)
Well atleast he did his work and put the videos together.
I just rumaged around Digg.com .
Char was formerly one of the thirteen core worlds of the Confederacy, but it is most notorious as the primary hive planet of the alien zerg. Upon its discovery, Char was found to be an inhospitable volcanic planet with thick ash covering most of its surface and tainting its acrid atmosphere. The hazardous environment is further intensified by extremely high levels of cosmic radiation from Char’s volatile pairing of binary stars, a class VI F0 sub dwarf orbiting an M8 irregular variable. Char’s elliptical orbit means whole regions of its sunward face can become molten seas during a close approach, with temporary islands forming in them due to rapid cooling as the planet swings away to the frozen outer reaches of the system.
You can find more information of this planet directly from the starcraft2 website.

Yeah right. They could, they never will.
unless they charge so much that you wouldn’t want to waste your money when you get banned.
but that much money, the games really aren’t worth it.

Blizzard declares war on Battle.net cheats
The Warcraft III developer shutters nearly 300,000 accounts tied to illicit programs.

In what might be one of the biggest cheat purges ever, Blizzard today closed 282,000 Battle.net accounts associated with game hacks and illicit programs. “In keeping with our aggressive stance against cheating,” said a post on Battle.net, “we have permanently closed 263,000 StarCraft accounts and 19,000 Warcraft III accounts.”
In addition, Blizzard permanently banned 1,100 Warcraft III CD keys used with the shuttered accounts and forbade another 8,000 from ladder play for one month. “Repeat offenders risk having their CD keys disabled, which will result in the permanent removal of their copies of StarCraft or Warcraft III from Battle.net,” said Blizzard, which also issued a stark warning to would-be cheats: “We will continue to monitor Battle.net for cheating and take action as needed.”
Blizzard’s actions are the latest in an ongoing anticheat offensive by developers of online games. At the end of January, DICE included Punkbuster anticheating software in the v1.6.19 patch for its ultrapopular online WWII shooter Battlefield 1942.
If you remember being in the chatrooms like “starcraft newbies’ or ladder challenges back before bnet split to show regions, you then know just how popular Starcraft was. We all know that what is popular will stay popular as long as people can still see how popular it really is. so we can assume that by splitting us up into so many groups it did make the place not feel as full as it once was. We can hope that Blizzard figured this out.
The greatest event was being nailed with a mass zergling and hydra attack, and being prepared with bunkered behind supply depots backed by a buttload of marines and siege tanks to just own and wipe down the zergs, and having cloaked wraiths to hit the overlords and that big fat crab thing.
I used to play with a name that was fun to kill with and win with. The name was Mass200ScvOwnsU. Really that was hard to do because by default scvs run away. I wonder if they will allow us to make the names they allowed in the beginning using symbols like $^& and “-. Will they have chatrooms again ? The chatrooms made it so you could run lip and make challenges. You didn’t have to chat, sometimes we just spent the whole day jumping into the best bandwidthed available games.
Will the game have the features we loved? Will we have to buy massive processors and ram?
I think we will not have to power it much, so all sorts of people can play this game.
Will we have a monthly fee? I don’t play wow. simply because i hate the idea of pay to maintain, maintain because you paid so much, pay more because you played and invested so much time and money and don’t want to lose players . The redundant cycle of stupid uselessness.
We used to beg for this and Blizzard kept hinting it would never happen. Ten years later and it just might happen soon.
The game that was top seller for three years, the number one played game for two years, the game i played religiously for three years straight, is coming. I am older now. Will i still play?
Damn straight, just hope there is no team speak. I don’t want to hear a bunch of kids screaming at each other and everyone how they they are going to hack or report them for cheating.
We have heard about EA bidding for Rockstar Games and Microsoft bidding as well.
What I have heard today is that Sierra is being bought out by Blizzard games. Sierra is the maker of most Blizzard expansions anyhow, and will just take on the Blizzard name. Sierra also made expansions to many first person shooters. Let’s see what happens in the future.
In the back of my mind I see it being cool to mix two companies but somehow the stupid section is making the most sense. “Hey, I will be limited in choices” if all gaming companies merged into one.
