[PC] (StarCraft 2) Apparently Blizzard Still Makes Games!

Simply because the other thread has been shut down I thought I'd put my post with a bunch of SC2 gameplay video links here for other people to enjoy.

Original Post
Here's some gameplay footage. It's decent quality to get the idea, but IGN's Hi Def videos are more what the game really looks like.

VIDEO UPDATE:
Siege Tank Gameplay- http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...19762&type=wmv
NEW! Terran Reaper Gameplay- http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...19763&type=wmv
Zealot Gameplay- http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...19761&type=wmv

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

=o This is madness.

Those Terran Reapers look really fun to use. :3

That Protoss Zealot one was interesting too. Looks like you can hold SCVs in your Command Center now, so when you drop move it to another resource area, you can start gathering the "MINERALES" right away.

FELIPE NO

Ohh, just saw some of those gameplay footage. Looking great! Haha, but the Colossi are very reminescent of the Tripods from "War of the Worlds". And man, the Motheship is sooo sweet, almost overpowered I'd say.

Can't wait till they start showing more of the Terran and Zerg gameplay mechs.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If the Protoss Mothership unit is their "ultimate" unit, I wonder what the same type of unit will be for the Zerg and the Terrans? Surely Blizzard won't let something that obviously overpowered go unmatched.

Most amazing jew boots

For the Terrans they'll probably just enhance the Battlecruiser I would imagine. However if they did get some larger ultimate unit in SC2, I can only imagine what it would be. I say a giant metal ball that crushes everything in sight, lol

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Terrans have their own "ultimate unit". It's called the nuke.

I mean, neither the Zerg or Protoss had anything like it in the original, right?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, but half the time your Ghost gets found out before the nuke hits anyway.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Heck I was lucky he was not found out before I even launched the nuke

(I think it was 5/8times the ghost died before I got the nuke off the ground

How ya doing, buddy?

I wouldn't be too happy if each race has an "ultimate" unit, it reminds me too much of the mammoth thing in tiberian sun and the heroes in WC3. It's nice to know that they want the races to be as asymmetrical as possible yet very balanced.

Have they taken out older any units? Did they take out the dragoon for the immortal?

So if protoss get the Mothership and the Terrans retains their nukes, what do the zerg get as their "ultimate unit"? The collective mass of Zerglings that is the zerg rush?

Yes Dragoons are gone. According to the official website the sacred site dedicated to the creation of dragoons was overun by the Zerg. I guess that cybernetics core wasn't so important after all.

Thats very true. Although personally I like to just flood the map with Ghosts to keep them on their toes. Then in the middle of a huge attack when I'm pretty sure they're already occupied I let the missiles fly. I tend to land a few nukes that way. Also it seems in the vid the wait time for the nukes is much shorter, but the laser marker is this huge "lawl, ground zero for t3h nuke, find the ghost!!!"

FELIPE NO

Hmm...they better be more original with the other units. Mothership? Hmph.

I personally would like Protoss to be like that. I mean clearly they are the most advanced species, and it should be shown that they are more powerful lthen the others, but at the cost of resources. Like SC1 they were the strongest, but each unit usually cost double the amount of a terran or zerg unit, so it balanced out.

I just want them to kinda balance the zerg out. I mean when your opponent sent out 200 hydralisks or 400 zerglings, you basically lost.

I was always a terran man myself. Can't really think of anything to improve them. I wouldn't mind them having a base defense that attacks both land and air units. Bunkers are kinda meh.

How ya doing, buddy?

400 Zerglings?

Anyway, I have always been partial to the Zerg and Terrans myself. I never did like the Protoss, either playing them, playing against them, and not especially losing to them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

En Taro Adun!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes, 400. Unless they changed it since I played, you got 2 zerglings for the price of 1, and since you can hold a max of 200 units that's 400. If you upgrade them fully, especially the attack speed those numbers will overwhelm anything.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ah, sorry about that, I must've become stupid for a moment.

Let's just chalk it up to lack of sleep and forget I ever said that...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

But you still need to keep a drone or two around, don't you?

How ya doing, buddy?

b) only one mothership allowed on the map at once
c) Terrans and Zerg have no comparable unit to the mothership. The team's concern is to make the three races as asymmetrical as possible.

The Protoss' thing was always having few, expensive, powerful units as opposed to the Zerg's cheap, wimpy units in mass numbers, with the Terrans (naturally) somewhere in the middle.

I imagine we'll be seeing new toys for the other two races over time, as they release more teasers. Note that you really didn't see much of anything for the other two races; the Zerg had maybe three units on display, total, counting the "Nidus Worm". They're either not done yet, or are holding back information for the slow trickle of teasers to come.

Also, in reaction to the doctored screenshot: Realistic equals brown!

I guess not if you're going all out like that.

I like how in some pictures there is dirt in explosions on metal. LOL realism

Well, i'm pretty much sold on this one. Environments look well done, the units look ok (a little cartoony but i can look around that). I'm assuming that each race is going to see new units of their own.

Now the only two things that need my approval to make this a buyer are story and population limit. Warcraft 3 was ruined but it's pop limit of 90, and the retarded upkeep system. If they're gonna do the same kinda thing with SCII then i may pass this one up, pending on the story. Story is what really sells a game for me.

Speaking of story, does anyone know of a place where i can get a detailed time line, or just a written account of Starcraft? I wanna see if i've got everything straight.

Wikipedia. Click through the bottom links to get all the info.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That was worst case scenario obviously, it's potentially possibile.

I personally wouldn't ever build more then 12 groups, since you can only bind 1 to =. I wouldn't really be able to use the other err...250+ units very efficiently.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Haven't had a chance to view the ingame video but we all know its SC2. That alone makes it worth checking out. Blizzard has been known to consistently put out top quality games without screwing up. Only downside is that they spend A LOT of time working on them but it kinds of evens out when you see the quality of work done.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm on a ridiculous Starcraft high right now. If this was available already (at least for pre-order), I'd so impulse buy it.

$250, 17 pounds, 18 inches tall: https://us.blizzard.com/sc2collectib...aft2/menu.html



Hot.

I was speaking idiomatically.

For 250$, that piece of paperweight junk should be life-sized, not 18 inches.

How ya doing, buddy?
