id say late 2008 for this, i mean it looks pretty much deep into it, they have units for the races afterall, i mean sure their not all done but i think they could prob finish SC 2 by the end of 2008, maybe early 2009, early as in, January is what i predict...ofc as long as it isnt rushed and comes out clean and polished ill be happy

it took 13+ patches after starcraft came out to balance itexpect about the same for sc2
Diablo have so far made in total at least 7 RTS game things.. SC 2 being their eight.. With those 7 I count expansions and sequels to the original games..
They also have been working hard to keep balance in their other games.. I hardly believe we'll have to expect the same for SC2
Diablo 2 went through 11 patches to my knowledge
they dont count the expansions as seperate entities because they contain the same base material.. so the extra material the expansions contain are handled accordingly, thus the expansion and the base game are labeled under the same current patch version
you're saying because they spew out so many games that it will take them less time to patch this one?.. heh.. that'll be the day...
and I dont know where you pulled the number 7 from

Nah, man.
Most PC games will support XP for next 3 years.
Also, as of right now, SC2 is purely an Direct 9c game and not an direct 10.
I like how they havnt completely changed the formula. But I do expect that Blizzard has somethings underneath thier sleeve. They do make great games.
And if people want Diablo, get Hellgate when it comes out. It's done by the creators of Diablo. ( I think)

yeh hes right, its made by flagship studios which is the old Blizzard north, its basically Diablo 3, only with swords AND guns ofc and i dont think they are allowed to take the same storyline cuz its blizzards, but yeh ime hyped for hellgate too, looks very diablo like
yeh i been watching them, awsome ship, i think they should design it a bit diffrenctly, hope we still have carriers, their a major part of the protoss but that mothership rocks, time control ftw...it stops all those little rockets haha, beams the ground forces and calls a black hole to swallow 3 battlecruisers and 4 dropships, thats some heavey firepower
i love the look of those things htat can extend into pylons as well and the Zerg worm beasts that break through the ground and act as tunnels for them to move through, you can safely say they still have beautiful large numbers of units

it could be sooner. This is a direct quote from a Q&A with some of the blizzard guys:
"the game is "very far along," and that the game is already playable in multiplayer with all three factions. "
Yea it looks kick ass.
For people wanting too see the gameplay vids, go to Youtube, they stream much better then IGN etc. (though they are lower quality)
Anyways, I've been waiting almost 10 years for this game and I'm pumped, as you can tell from my Avatar/Sig that I hastily threw together in sheer excitement.
"We are the Blades of Aiur!"
Feckin sweeeeeeeet.
