StarCraft 2: Where’s My Beta?
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading ...Starcraft 2 is by far one of the most anticipated game releases of this year. Already having its release date pushed back twice, it has only made gamers even more thirsty for its forthcoming. Christmas 2009 has been officially booked as its antagonizing release date. Many gamers can remember the release of the original StarCraft which instantly became a popular game across the internet. While the campaign mode was intriguing and fun, the popularity of battling online against friends and random foes allowed the game to last well until present day. With the revival of StarCraft, Blizzard has sought to ensure that heavy online play will continue, while significantly adding to the storyline, features and gameplay tactics.
Of all the Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games that have yet to hit the PC, it is evident that no other games have reached the longevity and popularity of StarCraft. Although Command and Conquer and WarCraft have remained resonant in the RTS community, StarCraft has been viewed as a cut above the rest. Some may attribute this to the added ‘geekyness’ of battling it out in space, using new technologies, and adding more emphasized gameplay tactics and graphics – all things that would make us gamers happier.
With its release set before the end of this year, we will just have to wait and see how this game and series will play out. Some things we can count on is for sure is StarCraft’s arrival to spur huge sales for Blizzard, increase web-traffic for StarCraft based gaming communities, an emergence of StarCraft LAN parties, and maybe even a Protoss Halloween costume or two!
Check out some of these high-res screen-shots below. These were taken directly from Blizzard’s website. We have to say that the game looks pretty impressive thus far, and definitely displays a much bigger improvment over the original StarCraft when it comes to graphics, gameplay, and content.
Still waiting for SC2 . . .
Li Quan / I Was Dissapointed even tho its by far the best game ive played (next to strracaft original, bw Suced) The lazers are something gettin used to a little much, but in time i think they will grow on me. And For one Thing to be certain, Ive played a lot of Zerg, And I find Zerg vs Terran Mentally Retarded, Possibly Im still Nub At that match and althought it feels like strracaft 1 i hated that match up, when i played a good game i still won, or had an idea why i lost; This time around imn not seeing a Counter system i can rely on, But then again im still Nub. Next The Air I Really Like what they’ve done with zerg, The Bannelings again against terran are completely useless, The Zerglings useless, Mutas useless, So it becomes a hydra roach game with a few guardians possibly some spells, and again the spells im not really getting it. Its nothing like sc 1. The Queen thing really got to me,, Like seriously what the fuck is that about? popping 7 larvae outta one hatchery?? i find that a little bit weird and not being able to spread creep, but again its starting to grow on me the creep tumours, just the idea of 1 hatchery being more than enuf per base is something getting used to a little more micro management, but is growing on me really cool, But the queens lost wings, and the broodlings almost grew wings,, did anyone notice that, those things (broodlings) glide now lol. neat evolution. but complex in understanding or explaining, the queen was a fast unit in sc 1, how would it lose wings, oddly Enuf Im Really Impresssed, And i not so sure abut the infinite stimming ability i really hope that medivacs get toned down, Void Rays as well , seriously that is some weirdness, vs a zerg user at least, its a scary sight.. feared and dreaded. Well Thank You So Much Blizzard Im really Looking Forward to the Zerg Expansion and the toss missions, personally i still fucking hate terran as in sc 1, but at Least sc vanilla, theres not infinite stim, which is one of the maine reasons i never really got down with bw as well as zerg vs toss i felt invincible, Using a lurker,scourge technique they would get trapped i take map in Lt at least, And there observers id just scourge with ovy’s to spot. anywayz, Good Job id Give this game a 8.9 out of 10 I Am Assuming Being a zerg User it will Be A Near Perfect game Upon Release and Perfect after balancing issues, But i favour zerg, Assumedly they are trying to use the expansions and balancing fixes, Growing upon what consumers liked and didnt like they can evolve the races. So maybe the last Expansion will be (hopefully Unlike bw epic fail) the best expansion Thanks Starcraft, Blizzard And Korea, For making it possible, Much Love*! `1Peace I B Out, Li Quan the Enigma~! ^^ ^_^ -_- (._.)!_!
