    I wonder if they'll keep the same system specs for the next two games? Upgrading is freaking expensive.

    To Summoner678
    No lanplay is a good thing imo. Filters out the pirate copiers.
    One campaign isnt really true. Its 3 campaigns, but split into 3 games. Kind of like the episodes in half-life, but you play a new race.

    I think this game will be awesome. what I don't like is that release has been pushed. But I guess its better to wait for a great game, than to play a half decent one.

    Ban-E-ling....?

    Why do the Protos probes look like maggots in one shot. Also all their buildings have been given a Kitch Art-Deco makeover!

    Since the narrator is a Blizzard representative, not an outside reviewer, everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.

    This was soooo boring. We have seen all this thousand of times. I would like to see some interaction with environment if there is any, destruction engine etc. I hope this want be first major Blizzard flop. Im sure selling figures will be good cos of huge fun base but this game looks dated even before release...

    And now, the Protoss have Webways!

    ...

    I MEAN GATEWAYS! Yep, Gateways. Totally not Webways, and totally not related to that other race from that other game. To quote Aqua Teen...

    "NO, IT IS CALLED ZA /FAR/GATE."

  • Nukeulis

    Posted Jul 21, 2009 6:24 am PT

    So TOed that there is no LAN support.
    My buddies still get together several times a year to play WC3:TFT over LAN. This would totally stink.

    To Blazeeagle Have heard what gamespot guy was saying? rewind in the replay feature is novel, not replay feature by itself. Listening carefully before trolling!

    Some store in Canada say October 31, but knowing Blizzard maybe there will again a wait will see!

  • BlazeEagle

    Posted Jul 5, 2009 4:11 am PT

    A Replay feature IS NOT a "new" & "novel" feature! Sheesh! This is GameSpot not "Video Game introduction 101".

    Regardless, I'm definitely looking forward to this game! I hope my skills aren't TOO rusty! ...

    lurkers should be tier 2, having them in tier 3 is why zerg feels weak. other than that I'll see the rest of you on iccup.
