Are you going to buy StarcraftII?

[Mr.Banankaka]

I´ll probably download it first to see if it´s worth buying ^^

That seems very interesting. Don't you think? Gives a lot more possibilities.

It does. Thats one of the big things people wanted from WC. And I think it is a great idea!

Each 'area' could be another map, with different terrain - meaning new cliffs and everything. Plus, it allows each map to have more tiles to compliment that individual area.

I won't buy it unless all of my friends buy it. Otherwise I'll stick to sourcemods and C&C

Of course I'll have to buy it if they start doing LAN's monthly again, we used to have bimonthly halo2 lans. Those were AWESOME.

I don't think my computer would be able to get the SCII graphics as shown in the videos. My computer barely runs WC3, and the graphics lightly lag (lower frames) so... I would probably get it, but not enjoy it. Then again, I'm trying to get a new computer (mine is about 6-7 years old), but of course I would want it(SCII)!

Well..... I'm buying it ofcourse. But not for the melee game, no way. In my opinion starcraft's melee multiplayer is well over-rated... I found the story mode was the most enjoyable part.

There is no questioning that Blizzard always puts out a quality product (even if they do make you wait a lifetime for it) and always worth adding another one of their games to your collection. Probably the best part about it tho, considering Darg's post about the editor, is the custom game possibilities that will come from it. It's amazing how even today people still hold onto and enjoy modifying War3 maps (myself included), and it is great how Blizzard are doing their best to deliver a product that the gamers want. Hopefully a short time after its release we will start seeing all our favourite modded maps making an appearance, and new concepts spawned that could never have been achieved before.

I hope starcraft 2 involves creeps and items...

 

[PurgeandFire]

I'm not sure if Starcraft II will incorporate items... Or at least from the videos I've watched of the gameplay.

Yeah I know what you mean... but still all the gameplay video's I've seen appear to be melee play, not story mode. And remember the missions in the story game where you just had a small squad of terrans? If they replicate those scenarios surely they would have amped it up to war 3 standards, anything else would be a step backwards. I know the heroes like Raynor were just beefed up units in the original game, I just hope they give them more individuality and customization like the heroes from war 3.

Most custom maps in warcraft revolve around an individual hero so I dont know exactly what kind of custom games we would end up with without them Td's and Siege maps anybody?

EDIT: problem solved, check out my new thread for details

I plan to get Starcraft 2 but I will wait for a little to see who has it, how it is rated and how good the features really are.

 

[Randor244]

Of course I'll buy it. I really hope the WE will be better than Starcraft I:s. More editors like Warcrafts, I say!

For it to be worse than WC3's or SC's, Blizzard would have to run on the extreme path of devolution in software design methodology, something that I doubt will happen. The editor may not be perfect come the first release, but unless they have come up with a policy of hiring monkeys, then I fail to see how it could end up worse.

 

[Doomhammer]

Shouldn't you better ask "How often are you going to buy StarcraftII" ???

I had to.
