    After years--a decade, actually--of hedging, Blizzard finally announced the release date for the first installment of StarCraft 2.

    Linky

    FOR AUIR!

    Hell, it’s about time! :grin:

    I’ll believe it when I see it, though. Blizzard has never had any qualms about changing release dates if something comes up in late production.

    So far everything I’ve seen looks pretty awesome, though! They really managed to make it look new without throwing the good old stuff out.

    I might even try my hand at online play, though I have no illusions about being swept away by semi-professionals that have been playing the beta for months now :wink:

    I think I’ll cave in and buy the collector’s edition. I already own the previous StarCraft, but I’m just a sucker for special editions xD

    ...there is the Xel'Naga out there somewhere...I'd be surprised if it were playable though.

    Can't wait for this!
    I'm not very good, but I rarely played the actual game, Use Map Settings maps ftw! xD
    Not so excited about the whole 3 different installments of it though...
    Probably gonna be one of those games I'll get when I have the money for it, but no rush really.
    More excited about Diablo 3 though! =D

    Got the beta key for this... Pure Awesome :grin:

    The main thing is the map editor. It's not really a map editor...

    It's a fricken game engine! :grin:

    I spent hours tinkering with it, you can make your own races, resources, units, ANYTHING! :grin:

    And even if you don't make custom stuff, designing a map with it is unbelievable :O

    Trust me, if you're a big SC fan, this is a must have :grin:

    Since it's T minus 4 days for arrival of Starcraft 2, I'm shamelessly bumping this thread with the latest trailer!

    I know; i was hoping that they'd include the hybrid-race easter egg from Brood War in it more.

    Well, it's only the first of three Starcraft 2 games. I'm still hoping the hybrids will make an appearance in the second or third game (and we really don't know too much about the singleplayer of this one yet)
