"It's Official, StarCraft II Hits Stores July 27."

Starcraft was one of my favorite games of all time, you better believe I'm going to be all over this one.

for sure...still been playing LAN AoE 2 (1000 pop hack)...just waiting for a good RTS

beta's been out for a little while now but i refuse to expose myself to anything about this game before i buy it. If only other developers could inspire more confidence in their games.

We should get some mad watmm matches going when the time comes

YES

FUCK YES

[zerg]RELEASE DATE COMPLETE[/zerg]

There goes my summer..

there goes my professional future

There goes watmm

Must not... get game... will lose... years... of life...

I would be surprised if it wasn't delayed. Blizzard always delays their ship dates.

Debating pre-ordering for this reason...anyone played the beta? Is it worth it?

never played the original but i was massively into Total Annihilation which was contemporary

Was just contemplating on which RTS I should reinstall as I wait for SC2—might just warm myself up to its release with the original. And is it *confirmed* that a pre-order would secure a beta key?

i remember playing it in korea with dorm mates....i got bitched out by all the asian guys for bad micromanagement....such a noob.

This could be taken as good news.

AoE 3 wasn't that bad.

but this will be better.

so much nostalgia playing that game with friends back in the day, one of the first RTS games I got into

haven't played many after that.. supreme commander was good, AoE3 didn't really live up to its predecessor

this should be great, every game blizzard makes is like virtual crack

I've played the beta, and it is crack. Get this.

I assume this is just a glorified remake, cos if they actually made proper changes to gameplay they would get DDOSed out of existence by angry Korean nerds
