    Exclamation Game: Starcraft 2

    Starcraft 2 has been officially announced

    Trailer only shows the intro

    Trailer *Beware! It's really slow right now.

    Youtube Link

    Some gameplay footage

    Screenshots of In-Game footage

    Summary of trailer
    - The video was 26 minutes long
    - Video opened with a human prisoner being transformed into a Terran Marine
    - Minerals and vespine gas are confirmed
    - Zealots still have shields and psi blades. New charge attack to let them rush at enemies
    - Still have Siege Tanks. They still Siege. Not much else to say
    - New unit: Protoss Immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.
    - Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals
    - Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range
    -New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability.
    - Zerg have giant worms that dispense Zergling armies
    -Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield
    -Protoss colossus - huge unit that can blast out dual lasers and use long legs to traverse differences in terrain height - in the demo two of them obliterate about fifty or so zerglings. Weak against air
    Zerglings can mutate into suicidal bomb things thar roll across the ground - very powerful explosions
    - Protoss Pheonix - can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast - but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.
    - Pross Warprey - flying unit that does increased damage the longer it hits a target with it's continuous blue laser. Useful against structures as well. Weak against small fire. Marines were shown to take them out.
    - Protoss mother ship. Can only have 1 at a time. Cost a ton. special abilities include timebomb that slows all enemy missiles inside - shows terran missle launcher shooting in projectiles that stop in the field before they reach the ship - when field ends missiles drop the ground - planet cracker attack - giant lasers stream from ship to ground - ship can be moved around while planet cracker laser is active - the ship looks like a metallic, triangular sand dollar - mothership can create a black hole anywhere it wannts to - creates distortion that actually sucks ships in and destroys them - in the demo the black hole destroyed four terran battle cruisers in about ten seconds.
    - Physics engine allows for debris to roll down slopes.
    - Video ends with 100+ Zerglings swarming on screen with no slowdown. They spell out "GG" and are nuked by 3 Terran nukes.
    - A Things to Come clip is shown with new landscapes including Terran ruins and Zerg landscapes.

    HOLY Fing CRAP MONKEYS YES! My Life for Aiur!!!

    I think a lot of people have been waiting for this, and knowing Blizzard, this game will rock. They will not release a game unless it meets high standards.

    I can't wait. It's time to rock!

    Doesn't look any more cartoony than the original. Looks amazing and I can't wait.

    Nice, I knew it was gonna be an RTS. Never thought for a second that it would be a new World of Starcraft or some such.

    I'm going to agree with Q-Bert about the appearance. It's not nearly as cartoony as WC3 is. It seems more like they tried to match the in game graphics to the CG we've all loved (which looks better than ever). It may not have the really gritty look of the original, but it's not finalized yet. Looks amazing. I hope my computer can play it smoothly. Blizzard has always been light on the requirements, and if I can play Tiberium Wars, it looks like I can play SC2.

    One of the biggest things hinted at is terrain differences. The description on the Protoss Stalker unit mentions that it can be used to quickly get up higher terrain for better vantage points. I'm hoping this hints at being able to use terrain the way Warhammer does, where sitting in one spot may have a tactical advantage to a spot a few inches away on the screen. Maybe it's just as simple as being able to see much farther, but even that changes things a lot.

    Looks like I'm going to have to learn how to play Protoss all over again...

    Really looking forward to this game now, hopefully it wont take too long until it's released. I'd guess it'll be released sometime around 2008 since the first one came 1998.

    Here's 2 gameplay demonstration vids i found
    part 1
    part 2

    The siege tank is a giant blob... Protoss and zerg like fine. Terran looks retarded.

    I remember reading from www.sc2.org a while back that there would be an addition of units to each race along with the addition of the 'Kerrigan' race.

    This should be exiciting. Can't wait to the see Korean pro matches if they decide to use it for MSL/OSL.

    The common units to the original look practically the same, just in 3D. It was hard to tell what features the units had in 2D. The in-game units of SC always looked way different from the concept art.

    Darkshadow : thanks !!!!

    I just watched 10 minutes or so of that through earlier posted links that were on youtube, really poor quality video of course. i have to wait until later to watch these. But even the really bad quality youtube stuff has me really excited about the layout of the game and the units...

    this has to be the most anticipated game of the decade. people have been wanting a sequal for years and its finally about to come. gotwoot, why yes... very much woot

    Sandldan, really surprised me... im glad they had the unit demonstration because i first only saw the little trailer that did not show any game play so i was still wondering what it would look like. I remember that for a long time people were saying that starcraft : ghost i think for the xbox was an actual sequal... even though i thin it was a 3rd person action / stealthy type game.

    current though : will blizzard be charging a fee for online play?

    edit: i cant wait to play this... its really so exciting. i lived on starcraft for a solid year and a half day and night sleeping so little and when i was i was thinking of starcraft... spare time? probably watching replays and planning future builds.... *drools*

    Have to say that im a bit amazed over Blizzards ability to have kept this a secret for so long. They seem to have worked on it for quite some time already. If i remember it right i think someone said that they're currently in the pre-alpha phase

    Edit: This might be the reason
