I don't see how you would have it since it's still in production and not coming out til next year (or with Blizzard, probably 2050).

But yeah I'm looking forward to it...

Watched the demo video and the promo trailer out also a major Star Craft fan so when it comes out in stores I will be there trying to get my hands on a copy.

Oh, I've known a lot of gamers who are that good, but since I am untested on online strategy, I have no clue how good I would fare against any of you.

Though, I have set my difficulty levels to the most difficult every second playthrough of the campaign mode.

I really liked the first Starcraft. I was decent but never elitist like some of the players I knew... and definitely not Godlike like the Koreans. lol But the second one looks great and I can't wait to give it a whirl... if my PC can handle it, that is.

Starcraft was my life in the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade.
My friends and I would play it nonstop everyday after school.

We had a cool clan and were pretty high on rankings.

I can't wait for Starcraft 2.
I'm taking a week off from work. lol

Dark Archon's Mind Control=completely useless
Starcraft >>>>> Warcraft 3

And that is all that needs to be said.

I loved Dark Archons mind control :(
...that is when used in conjunction with 'The Gathering'

I built 3 different bases over the map and basically pwned every other difficult AI there was....but oh well, it sucks without that cheat anyway.

Yea, that was about the dumbest thing you've ever said Adamant. The mind control was great when you got ahold of an enemy building unit. It was taxing on resources but if used right it really did wonders. The reason why is basically it was a game of rock, paper, scissors. One race had a lot of things to beat other races (EMP Shockwave just destroyed Protoss) but if you had two races that complimented one another well then you were set. Usually it was just Protoss + Terran against Zerg or Protoss + Zerg against Terran.

For about 10 minutes, until you realized it was nothing but a novelty. It's best used on super units like Carriers and Battlecruisers, not wimpy units like SCVs.

No, it isn't. All races can perform equally against each other if you use them correctly.

Maybe if you're a complete noob, or have no experience with the game on anything other than single player with cheats on, this may be true. However, in COMPETITIVE multiplayer games, if you're stupid enough to try to make a second base with another race you will get your ass kicked before you know whats happening to you. The enormous waste of resources on gaining all new technologies isn't worth spending considering the 200 supply max is more than enough to beat any player.

Maybe you should get some actual experience with the game before you start calling me dumb, Aztec. There's a REASON the best Starcraft players in the world don't use that strategy- it doesn't work!

Beat you to it a few months ago

Kerrigan gives me such a boner, figuratively speaking. As do Duran, Zeratul and the Marines :]

STARCRAFT II, BABY.
