Starcraft 2!

[Iamsmart]

The game is released in a week (July 27th!). I've had the pleasure of playing the beta quite thoroughly. Although I'll never forget my love for Starcraft 1 and I'll probably never believe Starcraft 2 is better, I do believe it's definitely worth getting. You might be interested in the 1v1 ladder scene to play competitively, you may like team games working with friends or partners. There's also an EPIC map editor if you like to create maps with triggers and awesome stuff, or just play them. And don't forget the campaign.

Who's getting it?! I'd love to play with some of you

For those of you who want to purchase a digital copy, that will get you started. Top right to change from USA version to wherever you're from.

I pre-ordered it some time ago and played the beta; can't wait!!!! After it got my head arround it (didn't really play sc1) I loved the beta, and I reckone the single player will be great too! (at leastit certainly better be given how long it's taken then to make it!).

Im looking into getting it, trying to decide if i will like it or not!

 

[Iamsmart]

let me know if you need any convincing

 

[Alvestein]

is it similar to the first one?

 

[Alvestein]

just watched the trailers and caught up on the storyline. now i wanna get it :/

 

[Iamsmart]

Er, the general idea of the game is the same, a few of the units are the same but most of it is different.

 

[Alvestein]

ima ask my bro to get it for my 18th.

 

[tomtree]

anyone got it yet?! the release date is tomorrow but sometimes amazon and other places dispatch it early. i saw a parcel from amazon outside my door this morning and was so excited!!! only to then find that it wasnt for me...

 

[Iamsmart]

servers wont go up until its time though, doubt you'll even be able to play the campaign if it came early cant wait though!!

 

[tomtree]

yeh, i suppose you're right... though i cant wait!!! spent my life on the beta; was soooo good! what i loved most was playing 2v2 online with one of my mates. we definately need to get a group of bush players together and get some matches going!

 

[Iamsmart]

Sadly we'll be on different servers so I probably won't be able to play with any of you (I'm american)

 

[Alvestein]

you can mix it up on battle.net. theres nothing stopping you from making an account on all the servers and im sure they'll probably have like an international server or something similar.

 

[tomtree]

yeh, im sure they must have an international server or something?! i mean online play is one of the biggest parts of starcraft so surely they won't make it so you can only play people in the same region as you?!

They do in WoW i cant see it being any different for starcraft 2

 

[Alvestein]

and you can move between regions on wc3 b.net so i doubt it'll be a problem.

 

[Souls]

Battle.Net has had a huge overhaul, Hiuey. It won't be quite the same.

 

[Alvestein]

this saddens me..you getting sc2?

you can only play with people from the same place as you on WoW? It sucks even worse than i thought it did...
