starcraft II

cinematics are beautiful, and the visuals do look very fresh! what i liked the most was actually reading the story of starcraft... i bought the game when it first came out, and i read and re-read the history part of the manual, and when i played huge battles, i was always unhappy with the 200people population limit!! wheres my 3000 zerglings burrowing and ambushing your armoured column of 80 tanks and 150 goliaths?

the re-designed units are far more stylised, and i cant wait to fight people with them!

i hope they add something cooler than the standard-

campaign mode when you get more guys as you progress
artificial intelligence that gives up after 2 attacks
resources that get used up after 30mins play
pitched-battle type fights.


i want something like kill-teams versus a base of henchmen and a super-villain
recon
last stand type fights, where you are outclassed and points are based on what you kill before youre wiped out
random-ness. parachute drops, environmental features, sand-storms, shield-recharging warp clouds, meteors, friendly creeps, hostile creeps
weapon upgrades sitting in the world, volcanoes or mud-pits, venus fly trap forests, an apocalypse timer (30mins to get to the spaceship)

innovate like you mean it!

So long as they release a good mod kit I'm sure we'll get all of that eventually.  The best I hope for is unit balance from Blizzard.  I feel as if it's the most important features and the community can take care of the rest

A _REALLY GOOD_ pathing script for your units would be nice too. I'm so sick of units getting caught on corners or each other.

We'll see how it works out.  I'm excited but also a hair fearful, I feel very limited trust about blizzard when it comes to balance ever since WoW   before that, I would have given them the benefit of the doubt that eventually they'd patch it till it was right.

aaand... once ive built an army, i dont want them to go in single file
it totally defeats the purpose of having an army if they run in and die one at a time
