What does anyone really think about how they are making the new star craft split into three separate games or anything else about it. I do enjoy the new units that i have seen for the terran but am unsure about the new in game mechanics does anyone know anything else about how it will play compared to Broodwar and the original.

well the difference is very big. They scrapped a lot of units from the last 2 games. Blizzard did a fantastic job with the balance of the game. I'm not in beta but i believe I will get an invite soon(I have a mac and the mac beta isn't out yet). The 3 separate games is a great approach because they can cover more story and plus the different elements of the game will be enhanced in a way. hoped this helped.

Blizzard has done an amazing job of balancing out the units while keeping the game interesting. The "super-units" make a comeback, also I feel the technical glitches have been taken care of well. The gameplay, though, is pretty much reminiscent of it's predecessor and I don't think people familiar to the earlier game would have any trouble in getting accompanied with Starcraft 2. However, I didn't like their idea of splitting the game into three parts.

Why wouldn't you like it? Blizzard is doing this so they can cover more of the story. Would you want one game or 3? The campaign will be amazing! Cut scenes fantastic. With the 3 games, they will also be able to enhance game play for that race, and for the player. It will also help you decide which race you enjoy to play.

i think they replace goliaths and wraiths with vikings, firebats and vultures with the hellian, and the dragoon with the immortal...

that site isn't the one to go to guys. [url=http://www.sc2armory.com]
That is the site. They have tech trees, artwork, screenshots, unit rendering, video, and live beta feed. Its the best place for starcraft 2 stuff.

One thing I hate though (I is in beta) is that the ultra can now burrow. Soooo cheap. 100 Ultras. Burrowed. The insanity.

I wish my computer could play starcraft 2, that's why I stay away from PC games.

Good, but a lot of people will have to adjust their strategies...no moar factory spam! D:

It appears that for now, everyone rushes...

But the graphics, it doesn't feel..."right". Also...how smoothly the units move. It's just so much different from SC1...
...
And no more glitches...which is bad.

No more vulture patrol pwning all melee units D: No more stacking (well...a little bit of it)

Had anyone tried to unload on top of dropship--makes the dropship unload while moving yet?

No more surrounding dragoons with vultures and killing them all with mines...no more M&M spam, medivacs are much higher in tier...what'll be the primary tvz build then?

Bad?!? How can the absence of glitches be bad, it can only be a good thing as far I reckon. Unless, obviously, you could exploit the glitches to unfairly win the game on multiplayer.

Seriously!
Blizzard was saying early 2010 for the past year, all of 2009. I was thinking late june 2010. Well I hope that rumors not true, 5 months of Beta testing, it's been a month, so the game should be release, in July.

Dammit.
