wow some stick stuff so far

Dragoons have been overhauled and are now called immortals

Dark templars seem to have been morphed into Stalkers...a mix of a DT and a dragoon. They can 'blink' from spot to spot to through off enemies.

And a neat new addition is phase prisms which act like the old Shuttles but have a niffty new feature. They can power protoss buildings in absence of a plyon.




So much sick stuff...

I'm not so sure about this, I don't really like the artistic style of this one, it looks really cartoony. Also I was looking at the units and most of them have special powers, I'm not a big fan of that. But, it'll proabably still be dope, hah I loved the original SC.

hopefully it isnt too complicated like most RTS's these days. the original starcraft/brood war was both easy to understand and fuckin rad

I want to see the Battle.net user stats before and after this annoucement.

Sales and playing time on Battle.net for the originals went up a shitload i'd bet

^Yeah I'll probably get it from a friend or buy it. I was too young to be playing when the SC came out but I had a run at other Blizzard games like Diablo 2 WC3 and WoW. Now I'm just waiting on this and Warhammer.
