I have no idea whats farking funny

Are you laughing at me cause this beta came out ages ago and like usual kiwi in his slumber just discovered it or are you laughing cause of the stupid title!

Dowly · 03-08-10, 05:32 AM

The ridiculous title!

kiwi_2005 · 03-10-10, 02:41 AM

All i can say atm is THOR! Build this unit and listen to Arnold speak!

They're big and powerful and the murauders are cool units too, yes im playing the Terans. The beta is multiplayer only with an option to play against the AI only in very easy mode. Ive been doing this last few hours just to get use to the races before i go up against players.

I can't help thinking all SC2 is an grfx update of SC1 with extra units added, even the same sounds are there. The Campaigns better blow us away or the only ppl that will still be playing SC2 after the rest of us are done with the campaigns, is the Koreans.

Still its worth buying when it comes out.

Nice new story-oriented trailer just popped up.

I will not be getting the game for a while since I'm not especially interested in the multiplayer and I've got plenty of SP games to burn through yet, but I do eventually look forward to the single player campaign and story!

Knowing Blizzard the story must be good

Id buy it if it wasnt so much money...

Arclight · 07-22-10, 07:15 AM

I'd buy it if it didn't have limited resources.

Yeah, probably fold when the price goes down. SP experience looks very promising.

IIRC, back in the day, Blizzard tried to get the rights from Games Workshop to make a Warhammer game, which they didn't, so they changed a few things and made Warcraft instead.

Blizzard struck a deal with Games Workshop to create a a PC version of the "Warhammer" table top miniatures game. After completing work on the game, the deal fell through, and Blizzard, left with unfinished and unpaid work on Warhammer, created "WarCraft". WarCraft's factions of Orcs and Trolls versus Dwarves and Elves bears many similarities to the Warhammer factions. This does not explain the correlations between Warhammer 40,000 and StarCraft however. For example, the Zerg and the alien hive mind Tyranids of 40K look similar and are nearly identical in concept, and Space Marines are literally named the same in both games. In "WarCraft III", if you repeatedly click a griffon rider he will say "This Warhammer cost 40K", 40K being a shortening of 40,000.
