    I agree with your statement, ComradeGiraffe... there better be an equal counter to the nukes for the Protoss and Zerg. Also, I don't remember the nukes recharging that fast in the original SC. They should have increased the duration.

    BTW, the Protoss have the ability to create a black hole! from the mother ship... however, I think it only affects air units.

    looks awesome, but that little ghost>medivac tactic could be very cheap online. I'm not an experienced starcraft player, is there no air unit to deal with those threats?

    I really am not a big fan of rts games, mostly because I suck at them. But I gotta say watching these videos is getting me really excited for the Starcraft II games, heck this could be a sport on tv and I would watch it.

    Nukes > Protoss.

  • Reiken37

    Posted Oct 26, 2009 5:51 pm PT

    Nukes look OP. There better be some serious counter to that.

  • jh8909

    Posted Oct 26, 2009 5:41 pm PT

    Haven't seen this video yet, but protoss seems really really strong from reading about abilities and watching previous videos.

  • Reiken37

    Posted Oct 26, 2009 5:22 pm PT

    They can take thier time, I have games to occupy me, as should every PCer, and I want this to be as epic as possible

  • blazey09

    Posted Oct 26, 2009 12:00 pm PT

    I wish this game would hurry up and come out. you would think that all they show it would be done by now >.>

    @TheDunn: I know mate... 4 wins in as many broadcast games! He seems to have an answer to everything they throw at him!

    david is such a starcraft nerd

  • TheDunn

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 10:42 am PT

    Man, this is ridiculous, can no one beat David Kim?

  • overd

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 10:24 am PT

    LOL, rigged games? what kind of gamer would throw a game. i wont even throw a game so that my girl can beat me let alone a fellow gamer. Some people just over analyze things, this is the 21st century. Narrators on TV shows narrate while the shows being taped too right? LOL use your heads people and stop making yourselves sound like fools even if you are one.

    I dont want to play david kim either id rather play the campaign than him

  • Myault

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 9:53 am PT

    I can't wait till this game comes out... Man we starcraft fans have been waiting too long for this but delayed games always tend to be freakin amazing and never disappointing I'm just glad when it does come out it probably will be a masterpiece.

  • GreySeven

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 9:17 am PT

    I'm glad SOMEONE'S playing this game even if we won't for another three years.....

  • mYTH_2k4

    @AncientDozer: Its called eSports. Its been going strong for a decade now and people do take it seriously and play with a lot of passion. Good commentary only adds to its appeal. And yeah, there's a tonne of money involved behind the modern eSports tourneys btw. So... No, I don't see any reason to facepalm at that at all.

  • Crimsader

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 7:02 am PT

    Rock on, Ghost!

  • Gelugon_baat

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 5:56 am PT

    I see that there is an exploit that can be used to better make sure Ghosts manage to send their nuke payloads. There WILL be calls for nerfing.

    Does anyone else just facepalm at how serious they try to take the commentary? I love gaming but treating it like a sport strikes me as ridiculous.

    I would've been happy to watch the gameplay by itself. Either way, it's interesting I suppose how they have it setup.

  • HarryMcDoogle

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 5:40 am PT

    @Kro_429: The commentary is added after the game is played. Blizzard takes the best games from there in house testers and then adds commentary to it. That's why is it sounds so smooth. They don't do it in real time. At least that's what I gathered from lurking the starcraft 2 forums on official site.
