    Starcraft 2

    Are there any other non-Koreans as excited as I am about this?

    When are they going to release this already?

    This looks like by far the best RTS game ever.

    Is there anything more to say?

    This needs to be in the other games section for a +1!!

    When did Ming take back the +1s for OT posts? He gave them to us a while ago...though this should be in other games, yes.

    And it does look like fun.

    It's a Blizzard game. The only thing anyone knows for sure is that it will a) be a long time from now and b) be worth the wait.

    We lost +1s? I thought we still had them.

    But yes, Other Games

    I wonder if my laptop could run the game. Does it need a fancy video card?

    That game's sweet. Too bad I lost it or gave it to someone. Ain't never seen it since.

    I'd say it's fair to assume Blizzard controls all of South Korea because of it.

    So does Blizzard have a similar cult of personality in South Korea like Kim Jong-il has in North Korea?

    Does anyone know if StarCraft II will have a pause mode under which you can issue orders to your units and buildings? You know, as in Age of Kings. This wasn't possible in StarCraft.

    Then it wouldn't be RTS, it would be PTS, Pause Time Strategy.

    Which is what I prefer. I'm not a clickfester, but a casual single-player StarCrafter who mostly likes a game like Civ where you can spend as much time thinking or doing stuff as you want. Besides, I don't see how a pause button would hurt anyone. It could always be disabled for multiplayer.

    So anyway, does this mean there isn't a pause-mode-with-orders, or don't you know?

    I hope there isn't. Clickfests aren't fun, but I hope SC2 can have enough strategic depth while maintaining teh sense of urgency that RTS games have.

    IMO, these games should be designed for MP first and foremost. I was disappointed with WC3 in that regard, although I did have some fun games with it when the other side wasn't playing some kind of cheap rush tactic.
