RELEASE DATE: July 27th

[TWD]

Its not about perfection. Its about adequacy. And I don't feel SC2 is adequate. Especially the Zerg.

The problem is that the level of changes you are expecting to see were never going to happen. If Blizzard intended on making changes on that level they would have done so before they put it into public beta. In the interviews they have been very clear on what was likely to change and what wasn't. So why do we continue to act surprised or disappointed when the changes fail to materialize?

Whelp, StarCraft's Facebook page has made it official. Rejoice.

Business release statement > Facebook

I'd be more inclined to not believe it because of Facebook.

@Demo: I assume you've ranted about what you dislike here. Do you perhaps have some links? I'm curious to see your view of the matter.

Cause we expect Blizzard to live up to Blizzard standards?


"It isnt ready....till its ready."

Great success!

SC2 is far more than adequate in its current state . Unless by 'adequate', you mean 'as good as the original', which is perhaps too much of an ask.

As an RTS viewed on its own merits, it's already so much better than anything recent.

July 27.....wow, feels a little funny to actually get a date . And it's relatively soon, too! I can hardly wait to finally play that fat, juicy singleplayer! EPIC STORY CONTINUATION HERE WE COME!

Surprised? No. Ive accepted Blizzard has failed me.
Still allowed to be disappointed? Yes.

A few points.

- Shitty macro mechanics
- Too many returning Zerg units
- Uselessness of melee units
- The continued existence of the Thor and Roach
- Various lackluster models and voices

EDIT: they got rid of the splash screen, but it was there I assure you. Darn shouldve print screened.

It did look something like this page.

[ArcherofAiur]

What was the splash screen?
