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.
So, if you can't really compare them, and I made the comment that Blizzard hasn't made a - and let me bold this word for you so it doesn't slip by - strategy game for a while, and starcraft and WoW are not games that can be compared, why would you bring WoW up as an exception to my statement?
First I have to question you, Have you ever played Starcraft? And actually, I was telling Padleduesh, if you read any of the 7 post above you, you would understand what I was saying'.

Yes, I played Starcraft at great length and it was a good game when it came out - it is however, 11 years plus a little change old. It has been a very long time since the original release date. They have a fairly entrenched fan base with the original, and I feel that in an attempt to not alienate them, they are going to make Starcraft 2 as palatable to their fans, there won't be any big or interesting changes. As a result of that, I feel it will be very disappointing.
Right. You were telling Padleduesh, which is why on page 3 you quoted me saying this:
Besides, Blizzard has been out of the strategy game buisness for ages. I doubt it's going to be anything new or interesting, just the same old stuff.
And in response you said this:
Dude, ever heard of World of Warcraft?
... so... above the original post of my that you quoted, none of them (never mind the seven you indicate) make any reference to WoW at all. Please explain how I'm.. 'confused' with whatever the hell it is you think I'm misinterpreting.
people are still atached to the first one,(including me!) it will be a disopointment because my comuters sucks with 3D graphics stuff but I know 1/2 of all the origonal starcraft and SC Brood war players are transitioning to the newone and 1/4 are switching to Diablo 2, also disopointing because i play that too, I think that starcraft will die soon, but Diablo 2 will still be played for a while

So your making a pointless argument, about a wrong phrase I had wrote?
Very excited for when the game will finally be released. Basically because the orginal Starcraft and Brood War were one of the best balanced RTSs on the market. Will the originals die out when SCII is released, probably not mainly because of all the visual enhancements.
