More waiting
StarCraft, best RTS I have ever played, and it is still one of the best, even 11 years after original release.
So the news is that StarCraft 2 is going to be released this year, totally redone - new units, new lore, new nerds and geeks to introduce to the Swarm.
Yes, the Swarm! How will they work now? The Overmind is dead, along with most of the Protoss and their home world, Aiur. Do we get Kerrigan back in all her Zerg Queen glory?
And the Terrans... What are they still doing out here? Kerrgian handed them their arses on a plate and then disappeared. If I was Mengsk I would have gathered up the survivors and found a new galaxy to ruthlessly govern. Let the Protoss and the Zerg fight each other to extinction.
Definitely looking forward to the new units in the game. Moveable pylon ships for the Protoss will make establishing a beachhead much, much easier. The new dragoons, complete with stronger shields, able to walk up cliff faces (if that is actually added)... somehow it makes an already powerful unit even more powerful. New Terran ships, hyped up Marines with jump packs flying across the treetops... Rocketman!!! And finally the Zerg, still swarming, having added new species to their genetic structure. Haven't seen any of their new units yet, but a Zerg/Protoss cross would be insane.
Speaking of the Swarm, why have they done nothing in the 4 years between the end of Brood Wars and the beginning of SC2? That will be an interesting story to discover.
Get out there, play some StarCraft, rush some zerglings into your enemies base. It won't be long till we are doing it all again, one map at a time.
