I already pre-ordered it but...

Who's dying out there for it to come out?

htttp://www.starcraftII.com

I'm most excited to make the colossuses from the Protoss. To be able to move between places without using transports or bridges.

Everything is faster, unit production is faster, building making is faster.

Like last time, never throw a large attack all at once, throw a bunch of skirmishes at one another, so they have to rebuild over and over again, effectively wasting there crystals.

Some of the units have some design flaws, and like the last game some thing are a bit to complicated like the Reaper for the Terran, to much stuff to make, to much stuff to research.

I've noticed one thing from watching the battle reports on the site, the Zerg have a lot more blood spurting out of there building.

Terran: The only units that stayed the same are the SVC's and Marines, the rest of the units are completely different. Building are about the same. Like Protoss they have a unit than can jump ledges and go over them, with out using a transport or ramp.

Protoss: I don't know to much about them. The Zealots and the Carriers are the same, there might be some more units that are the same, they're still a very confusing race to play, even in the first starcraft.

Zerg: Units have the same names. But they all are really different. Still produce faster then all the other races, but not as fast so they can eliminate the other players in a matter of minutes, but the other races have time to establish against a large attack from the Zerg.

Terran has some new units like Reapers. Protoss has the new unit, Nullifier. Zerg has Roaches and Baylings.

Reapers- Light infantry units equipped with jet packs. They can drop C4 charges. Ground Unit.

Nullifier- Small Protoss units, they fire lasers at enemies and can create shields to block opponents. Ground Unit.

Roaches- A small, light Zerg unit. Essentially a Broodling. Ground Unit.

Baylings- Evolved form of a Zergling. Rolls around towards ground units and explodes, causing massive damage. Ground Unit.

I've been watching Starcraft II Battle Reports.

Also, there are yellow crystals that are worth more minerals than the normal blue crystals.

Cool, I want Starcraft II badly. I'm gonna play as Protoss all the time. Because in SC2, Terran becomes confusing, Zerg has too many units, and Protoss is a pretty decent race.

Yeah, Terran isn't too confusing, I play as them most of the time, it just kind of annoys me cause it seems like they don't get minerals fast enough and there stuff might be too expensive. Protoss is okay, i just don't like them cause in the begging there not as fast-paced as the other players. I always lose at Zerg cause I'm not as good at mass-producing troops an stuff, and zerglings are extremely weak, do you play online ever?

Not really I think it's pretty over hyped but it does look a bit interesting.

Meh, I'm not really looking forward to it. Maybe because I wasn't old enough to know how to use a computer when the first one came out, but because it doesn't look like the best strategy game. It seems like the same old linear attack/defend as with strategy games that are a few years old, I'd like to see something new like with what CoH tried to do with its new game style.

They combined the good graphics of WC3 with the awesomeness of SC.
