Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

[IMG]http://imgur.com/bcR6Q.png[/IMG] Starcraft II is a real time strategy game produced and developed by Blizzard Entertainment as a sequel to one of the most popular and best selling games of all time, Starcraft. Part One of the three part Starcraft II series is currently released. The other two (Heart of The Swarm and Legacy of the Void) have no planned release date. [highlight]The Races[/highlight] [IMG]http://imgur.com/3W8kl.png[/IMG] Lead by the former human ghost Sarah Kerrigan, the Zerg remain a strong opponent in the Starcraft Universe. Their numbers rival any other race and they swarm like a disease across space. Striving for perfection, the Zerg assimilate other races into their own to create different strains of the insectoid race. Instead of having a democratic system, the Zerg are led by Kerrigan and think as a Hive Mind (one being). [b]Units[/b] [url=http://www.starcraft-source.com/unitdatabase/race/view/?id=3] Zerg Units[/url] [IMG]http://imgur.com/8xUYo.png[/IMG] The Terran are the human fictional version of us. They are nomadic and often move around to different areas to gather and deplete areas of resources just to stay alive. They are also the most dangerous in terms of loyalty. It is not uncommon to find the Terran fighting with each other for dominance despite the Zerg infestation.

Despite their warrior like ideas and tribal instincts, the Protoss remain neutral only for the protection of the galaxy and life itself. Because of their perfection and intelligent attributes, they are the targeted race for the Zerg to assimilate into. [b]Units[/b] [url=http://www.starcraft-source.com/unitdatabase/race/view/?id=1]Protoss Units[/url] [highlight] The Galaxy Editor[/highlight] The Galaxy Editor is a part of Starcraft II if you have purchased the game or have downloaded the beta. It is considered one of the most robust RTS editors in Blizzard's history. With more options to change units and structures, more emphasis is focused on producing custom games that move further and further away from the RTS gameplay. Here is a demonstration by Blizzard at Blizzcon to show how much you can do: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joNPrnY4K_4[/media] The possibilities are endless. If you have any ideas, feel free to share them and try to help each other produce maps. More will be added to the OP as time goes on. I created this thread because we only had the other 'Who's Ready' thread. If you have pictures from the beta or the full game, private message me with a link to the picture so that I can put it in. :siren::siren::siren::siren:[highlight]If you want your name and number added to the OP, private message me.

I'm squealing like a schoolgirl.

Also, please [s.p] tag spoilers. Anyway, i'm on the fourth mission now, got the only copy in my local tesco at midnight!

IM SO FUCKING EXCITED CE EDITION /caps

MEHHHHHHHHHHH JEALOUSSSSSSS caps [editline]02:37AM[/editline] Nobody post spoilers outside of spoiler tags or I will find you and do horrible things to you and your family.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;23654258]Also, please [s.p] tag spoilers. Anyway, i'm on the fourth mission now, got the only copy in my local tesco at midnight![/QUOTE] There are no spoilers in the opening post about the story of Starcraft II. Don't worry about that. I don't plan on that happening.

We could really do with a subfroum for this. Starcraft 2 is the biggest PC game to hit in years and unlike the random other subforums for games suggested, the Starcraft one would actually be packed with useful threads. The game is huge and there will be tons of discussions about strategies, third party content, the story, and more.

I swear I will rip out your spinal cord and use your head as a drinking mug if you spoil the story also +1 for subforum

Was that one guy who posted all the spoilers banned?

I heard that this game is going to have a lot of nudity.

[QUOTE=onox37;23654332]There are no spoilers in the opening post about the story of Starcraft II. Don't worry about that. I don't plan on that happening.[/QUOTE] Wasn't directing it at you sorry, just meaning to anyone who posts in the thread.

2 hours and 14 minutes till midnight release at the gamestop a block away from me. What goes on the two hours it's open before midnight? Will they have SC2 playable?

You stand in a queue waiting most likely.

Good thing I'm vising some godforsaken little town in Ontario and not back in vancouver. I bet there will still be CE's left

A fair warning. If you spoil the story for everyone without using spoiler tags I will personally message Jimbomcb.

okay so apparently people are starting to install already, like giantbomb. [url]http://www.giantbomb.com/news/starcraft-ii-live/2364/[/url]

You can now install the game. It has a cool summary of Starcraft while you are installing it.

I will have to wait until tomorrow to get SC2, my dad didn't want to take me at midnight. Oh well I guess

Only 3 minutes til I go down to Gamestop and get my copy.

oh hell yes [IMG]http://imgur.com/F9m2C.jpg[/IMG]

Battlecruiser operational.

oh shit dude time to free up 11 more gigabytes so i can download this tomorrow

Going to go and pick my copy up in the morning. Shit is going to be fucking intense. Also plus 1 for a Starcraft 2 subforum.

As far as the map editor goes, will it be like Warcraft III in terms of general kickassery? I'm sure it will, if not more so.

Added an image to the OP. What do you guys think?

Going to the midnight release right now. I'll post back how it was tomorrow

I wish I could pick up the game, I really do. I still need 10 dollars plus 5 for tax. God dammit.

[QUOTE=onox37;23655660]Added an image to the OP. What do you guys think?[/QUOTE] It's awesome man.

I really wanna play this but can't justify putting out the $ for an RTS game. They just don't last long for me.. Damnit I'm torn.
