StarCraft II officially announced

[Herr Matzat]

I just got it, you can´t install it becaus of the Battle.net online check. I guess with midnight sales they will launch the surfer sometime tonight. There are two Starcraft 2 14 Day Trial Codes and a 10 day WoW Trialcode in the Box.

[Dan]

Go play WoW while you can't play it.

And if you do, you may as well send me your copy of Starcraft II, despite me knowing very little about it ¬_¬

There is no way i am Installing WoW again, it´s the Devil. THE DEVIL!!!

How about conecting on the Battle.net? There is some kind of frinds list, some kind of facebook stuff and archivements like on PSN and XBox.

[LUKIE]

It's being advertised at a place near me for 70AU, which is ridiculously cheap (given they are 100AU at most other places).

[Herr Matzat]

The Server is Live, the Instalation is running wild. 12GB! Holy Fuck. And this is a german Version, there is only one language unless you download another version of the battle.net.

Nevermind, it alowed me to install but not to launch the game.

Is a digital copy any cheaper than a physical copy?

[Herr Matzat]

I doubt it, in germany the game got so cheap it´s even cheaper to buy it here than to get it from the UK. (thats VERY rare).

I quit playing last night, they tried on the german dubbing but you just hear it´s translated... i started downloading the UK version of the Battle.net last night and very soon it will finaly finish. It´s slow as hell, but a great option for people that want different language versions of the game.

The grafiks seem to be very low end, might be due to my 3 year old Mac/lowend MacBook... but at least it´s running very smoth even if there is a ton of shit going on.

If anyone wants to play me, the character Name is "Michael" and the Number should be "641".

Finished the Campaign today, the story is a bit flat, but the missions are fun as hell. The Juckbox is Amazing.

[SeanDMan]

Want this game very much. Waiting until payday SUCKS.

The Koreans sure do love their Starcraft don't they?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Have you seen the StarCraft II paint scheme Korean Air put on their airliners yet?

[Herr Matzat]

I just had a 50 Minute slugfest. I bet from a tacticle standpoint it was horrible (whatching the replay tells you a lot!) but it was just like one of those soccer or boxing matches wenn it is just all out... we both had backupbases that did not get seen in time, a ton of big units and it was just explosions all over the place. Lot´s of fun! And i lost.

It´s amazing how well the game performs. I got an 2007 iMac, so noting anywere near a gaming machine, must settings are on low (still looking good)... even with 200 units slaughtering eachother it still is smoth as if nothing was happening. I wonder how well the game will do if a 4 vs 4 or a free for all match goes crazy like the game i just had.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I am teeeeeeeerrible at multi in this against other people. I played one of my friends in a 1v1 and while I scouted him first, the most damage I did to him the entire game was pick off 2 or 3 drones and get a Viking over to his base to pick off 3 Overlords. I was bringing some Hellions over to do a mineral line harass and as I'm bringing them over to his base, he's obliterating mine with Roaches and my ground army is like, 7 marines, a marauder and 2 reapers.

Game lasted nearly 30 minutes, but that's only because I picked up my Command Center at my expansion, flew it off to another expansion and tried to rebuild (the effort was fruitless, btw) >_>

[Herr Matzat]

There are Chalange Missions to train you, alsogive me your ID so i can slap you intill your good enough to team up.

[Herr Matzat]

[SeanDMan]

I picked up my copy, and if you have me on MSN, that's my BNet email.

[Herr Matzat]

I do?

I don´t fully get the new bnet yet.

[SeanDMan]

I figured I'd spot you when I checked for which of my Facebook friends had a BNet account, but it only found MEG.

Matzat do you even have MSN? You're one of, like, 3 EWB members who I have on AIM, but I don't use the same email for that account as I do for BNet.

[Herr Matzat]

I use Adium, i got pritty much all the Messengers covered by that. We need to do Team play, raping random teams should be easy once we get stuff down.

my e-mail is, michael ät fan-only.de
