^ Urg, I could barely read that, Chat speak, no punctuation.

But on Topic: I really hope they do no add an underwater race. Like Zach101, I would like it if they kept the 3 races from the original (if they even do make a sequel)

Ive been hearing alot of talk about this...Ive recently read somewhere (forget exactly wheere at) that Blizzard has recently Shut down Blizzard North Office. May i remind u blizzard North is the part of teh Company responsible for great titles such as the classic Starcarft and Diablo II. Many of the employees working there were giving relocation packages and all, but a few, a elect few were told to stay, and they will continue wokring on a "Unanounced Project". Blizz gave no detail about what this prject is or even wil be. But many people are speculating that it is eaither a conitueation of Starcraft (Starcraft 2) or Diablo II (Diablo III ?). I forget exactly where i saw this, but i believe it was Gamespot. Diablo III is ***IN*** the works, and the only information or details about it is the Publisher is Blizzard and Release Date: TBA 2006. Now if they are working on a sequel to the RPG Diablo II, they must have enough common sense to make Starcraft II....That my opionion

[spacecommando1102]

they will make one, if they don't they are kinda stupid.
sc sold 9 million copies and brood war sold 8 million. if they make a sc2 they will probebly sell 20 million. Also, they are planning something special for sc besides ghost, possibly sc2 but might just be a graphic remake or something

That was odd... didn't post what I typed...

Anyways, as much as I totally disagree with how the team is handling it... there is a mod in the works that will convert WCIII into SC (hence, giving you the 3-D graphics).

Anyways, even twere that not so, Blizzard would make an actual SC2 and not just a graphics upgrade. If they were going to do that, they would have already. They'll probably start on SC2 after they finish Ghost.

Hmm i have to disagree with many people unfortunatly yes teamout its true i have also heard rumors of this new underwater race,  call me a loser, call me old schooll what ever u want but i seriously dont want a  new race sc is to perfect and most of all to BALANCED for ther to be a succesful sequal so yes out your right about this new race rumor but your wrong in the fact that blizzard is making next to zero money of sc now the entire battle chest sells at only $15 and there arnt to many in stock in most stores.  They are making most of ther profits off WoW and the montly fee's.  Honestly Sc is still going to strong (people might not be still buying em) but people are still playing sc way to much for any chance at making a good  sequaal it would be so hard to add new maps and races and still keep all races even.  However even if there is no sc 2 around the corner at least we still have sites like these http://www.gosugamers.net pumping out our sc news for us fanatics

Are you feeling okay? Deer god man Starcraft is one of the oldest games of all time eight years!! and it is still played by millions all over the world and is still in wcg. People train all year for a chance to go to the world cyber games this game is still very much alive with new ladders poping up all the time like PGT and even the koreans hametaci server. Many many people still play this game. As for closing blizzard north yes i unfortunatly heard this was true as well however do you know what they did aftr that? They hired 40 yes 40 new console game programers to "work on an undisclosed" project so are they making a console game besides ghost? Are they tottaly moving over to consoles except for WoW? Who knows but one thing is for sure what ever game they are making its deffinetly gonna be console based

If you read blizzerd starcraft ghost assesment witch has been cansaled you will find that there are plans for starcraft 2 but no time soon

[Cool_Freaker]

Has Ghost been cancelled permanently? I heard it was "postponed" or on hold, and they are considering porting it to the next generation of systems (well, maybe current if you consider the Xbox 360). I think they had a lot of development issues, with staffing or teams (or even publishers?) swapping around so it's kinda hit a halt. Not that it really matters, in my opinion - it's highly likely a FPS StarCraft spinoff would be, well, meh.

The last thing I read is they were possibly working on a Diablo 3, rather than a StarCraft 2... something to do with their recruitment/hiring staff notices with the Diablo 2 being mentioned as needing a programmer or artist (can't remember details). Then again I could be totally mixed up, but that's the perception I've got.

I dont think they are ready for another rpg. They are doing pretty good with world of warcraft. I havent been on the blizzard website since a long time ago, but I bet they will make another Starcraft game due to its succes. Its just going to take some time just like warcraft 3 did.
