Meh, not interested. They're splitting the game into 3 games, with pricing causing the final cost to be $90 not $50. Each new expansion will be contributing new units, so you'll have to upgrade to stay with the crowd.

No thanks.

Oh wow... I just googled and found an article about that. That kinda sucks. I am mainly a multiplayer gamer and not much for the campaigns.

Just looking at the sreenshots, and now in light of this new info, it almost seems like too much. I mean, it looks good and sounds good, but if it doesnt have the same magic as BW, then that will really suck. I was just hoping that they would make the regular sc into better looking 3d with real lighting.

enough of my bitching ...

apparently each campaign is the length of SC/BW by themselves. so if they were to release 90 missions in a full-fledged SC2...it'd be DNF all over again

hooray for a realistic and understanding post instead of the "zomg Blizzard is all about $$$$ now" reaction

Think about the last PC game you bought at retail price and how many hours that lasted you.

Think about how much you paid for Starcraft + Brood War and how many hours that lasted you.

Think about how much Brood War added to the original game, balancing and delivering the Starcraft experience as it is today.

And you're telling me that you're *upset* that we're getting *more* Starcraft content this time around?

Well I just answered my own question. I merged my cancelled WoW account with the new Battle.net and after that it allowed me to sign up, so I guess I'll download the beta when I get home.

You probably already found out when you got home the beta isn't out. They're are just allowing sign-ups. Hopefully before summer ends we'll get into the beta and a holiday release.

Heh, yeah, I did find that out. I'm surprised they would start the sign-ups so early, if the beta is not expected until the Summer.

nobody has any clue when the beta is expected. Could come next week, could come in June or even July. Blizzard has not hinted an expected time at all. I'm still hopeing for a beta in the next 2 weeks and a release in the fall(October)
