And so on. Oh, the title says something funny too.

I don't know. They haven't finished any of the 3 games.

I'm pretty sure you've seen more than 2 models in SCII gameplay videos.

I agree, the spelling in this post is just atrocious.

Hehe.. Good one
But, they are actually pretty far in the game production. I think they are atleast a 60-70% of the first game complete as far as the gameplay goes. The campaigns are not something they just descided before blizzcon, I think they have been working on them for quite a while, but as I recall from some video I saw yesterday from blizzcon, they are making the terran version first, then the zerg version and last but not least the protoss version. I think the spokesperson said something about that, not sure tho.

I can't really make sense of what you are saying.... are you trying to say that you think Starcraft 2 has 2 unit models? lol...

I'm pretty confident SC2 will have double the number of unit models available in war3, especially considering the fact the game will have not 1 but 2 expansions.

And no, I am not wondering when it will come uo.Baisicly I want to mispell a lot.

First of all, War3 doesn't have 500 models. There's just one ogre model, one gnoll model and one murloc model with different sizes and colors used for different units, and you can change those for yourself in the object editor.

There are many, many units in starcraft 2, and every scrapped unit, every unit from the original game, and some exclusive to the campaign, will be in the editor. And some of those will have different models (of which one look much better). Count in the critters & heroes too.

yeah what I've enjoyed seeing in the screenshots (from what must be the terran campaign) is things like the vehicle and unit models having quite a few different skins (check this screen shot).... I really doubt they would have done this the same as in war 3 and had a different model for every skin, I get the feeling that skins will be applicable in the world editor or even randomly chosen.

This would open some doorways for modding, it would be much nicer to only have to import your custom skin for a unit that is already ingame instead of re-importing the model for each instance.
