I-n-j-i-n Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The Protoss Mothership description sounds too scary to be true. Browder caps the demonstration with one last new unit, the Protoss mothership, the ultimate weapon in the Protoss army. It's an incredibly expensive unit with a "time bomb" ability that distorts time within an energy field, making enemy fire too slow to actually reach and hit the mothership. Once the time field collapses, enemy shells clatter uselessly to the ground. The mothership also possesses the "planet cracker," a stream of multiple lasers that devastate anything beneath it. Finally, the mothership can create a black hole--an extremely damaging ability that wrecks flying enemies. The glowing black hole simply sucks in the Terran warships, which warp in appearance before disappearing utterly into oblivion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsu Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm excited about the potential in a new map editor. I had a lot of fun with the scripting language in the first one. Also, is it just me or do the Protoss now have destroyer droids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HideousBeing Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! This is so awesome, I almost just peed my pants watching that video. Our long years of waiting are finally rewarded! Go StarCraft II! I suppose we can expect the release date soon then. So will this gross more than WCIII and WOW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi3gg Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm excited about the potential in a new map editor. I had a lot of fun with the scripting language in the first one. Same here. So much to look forward to! EDIT: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_TR7nGISEfc Some more video, showing different 'toss units. Looks like you have a lot of control over the camera, which is a definite plus, and one of the things I was worrying about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkinzez Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Never played the original, but I have a copy. Lord knows I'll have plenty of time to play it before Blizzard releases this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Never played the original That line scares me man haha. I totally forgot about the whole announcement. Good to know it's a SC2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm sure millions of people are pissing themselves with excitement right about now. I however, do not a have a level of excitement that might cause me to relieve myself in my shorts. Played the first game, and just didn't find it to be the godsend so many claim it to be. It was a fun enough game, but in truth, I had a lot more enjoyment from WarCraft III and Diablo II. Regardless, there are a lot of happy people now (who will likely be waiting a very long time yet), and I'm happy for them.As I said on .org, wake me if they announce Diablo III. I will be pissed if they turn SC2 into another watered down Diablo like they did with WC3. RTS is not about running around with a hero unit in a bloody maze half of the campaign. In other news, I have once again joined the ranks of the 02'ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrai Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I was going to say something, but Blizzard summed it up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 pretty much summed me up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziellink Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well, seeing how many Koreans bit the dust because of the first Starcraft, i'm willing to bet even more will die because of this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Oh wow. With one swift move, Blizzard places themselves on my grand list of good developers again. By taking part in the RTS revival of 06/07, they've become EXTRA YUMMY. gg blizzard gg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 yah know what, this thread made me realize i've never actually played brood war and that i barely recall any of the story in starcraft...which is gaming heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_T_Zeratul Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Since nobody's linked it yet... www.starcraft2.com is, of course, now a fully functional site and no longer just a redirect to Blizzard's main page. All the previously released info and more is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeganTheFox Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The excitement I feel for this game is unfathomable. I'm going to beat SC and BW right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 What I'm curious to know now is whether any of StarCraft Ghost has been grafted into this game. Like, is Nova's story part of the Terran Campaign? I would actually be sort of surprised if they didn't have her in here somewhere, because StarCraft Ghost spent a LONG time in development before they cancelled it, and I doubt they just scrapped everything.
