It’s official guys… No Starcraft 2 this year. In a locked thread, Cydra (an assistant RTS community manager) posted this grave news.
Today we announced that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will not be ready for release by the end of 2009. Over the past couple of weeks, it has become clear that it will take longer than expected to prepare the new Battle.net for the launch of the game. The upgraded Battle.net is an integral part of the StarCraft II experience and will be an essential part of all of our games moving forward. This extra development time will be critical to help us realize our vision for the service.
Our mission is to develop games that deliver an epic entertainment experience. As part of that commitment, we will always take as much time as needed to ensure that our games and services meet the expectations of our players and the standard for quality that we set for ourselves as developers. As we work to make Battle.net the premier online gaming destination, we’ll also continue to polish and refine StarCraft II, and we look forward to delivering a real-time strategy gaming experience worthy of the series’ legacy in the first half of 2010.
We will share more details about the beta, Battle.net, and StarCraft II’s launch in the future. Keep an eye on the official website at http://www.starcraft2.com for updates, and as always, thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support for StarCraft II and all of Blizzard Entertainment’s games.
(Almost) Everyone saw this coming. With the beta still nowhere in sight and it’ already August, There’s no way that Starcraft 2 will be released this year. According to Cydra’s post, the cause of Starcraft 2’s delay is Battle.net 2.0. It has been announced before that LAN play will not be supported by Starcraft 2 and that connecting to Battle.net will be the only way to play with your friends. I’d hate to speculate but things could be different if they put LAN back in the game or shall I say, “leave it in” since it’s already in the current build of Starcraft 2 (How else could they play Starcraft 2 multiplayer in battle reports and Starcraft 2 exhibitional tournaments?). Starcraft 2’s release being delayed by Battle.net 2.0 also means that Diablo 3 wont be released anytime soon.
Mike Morhaime hinted in E3 that Starcraft will be released this year. I’m a bit disappointed that this is not gonna happen but of course, I’m not surprised. This is a Blizzard game we’re talking about here. Seems like the only thing we can hope to be released this year is the Nada vs Moon video/battlereport.
So Starcraft 2…”It’s about time” huh?

#2 : check this http://www.gamingnewslink.com/2009/08/06/starcraft-1-had-the-same-fate-as-starcraft-2/
it’s all part of teh plan
why? WHY?! BLIZZARD chu let me down again!
sad face
RAGE@!!!!!!!
Blizzard can suck my balls. EA and other games companis can release games every month and it takes blizzard 2 years to make a simple game?
volga enjoy your shovelwares
and i dare you name other games from EA that lasted more a decade
WTF Blizzard?! all the people that use to play starcraft back in the day arnt gonna give a shit about startcraft 2 if you keep taking this long to release this beautiful game. HURRY!!
Saying “NO”. The blizzard way
i dont care what anybody say Blizzard Creates the best strat games and it last for eternity and starcraft can take as long as it want it means it is just going to be better and it will rule so keep your pantys on and wait for the legend.
WTF! I’m beginning to lose interest with all the hype they started, I think blizzard is INSECURE, with all the great games from other developers and all, they’re just too afraid to lose face. all that glitter & glamour for a game follow-up that took more than a decade to be realized.
or maybe the aliens are preventing blizzard from showing their technology which blizzard stole from roswell? ahahaha WTF im so frustrated & disappointed right now I could kick someones face.
GOD IM GETTING TOO OLD WAITING FOR SC2, MAYBE I DONT WANNA PLAY GAMES ANYMORE…MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MUHAHAHAHAHA (*COUGH)
MY KIDS WILL PROLLY ENJOY THE GAME, WHEN THEY GET RELEASED FROM MY WIFE’s WOMB, and when they GROWUP maybe after another 10 more years???? NANDAYO!!!!
this game is outrageously overdue and if they plan on increasing sales by prolonging the release they r only pissing people off
it looks like Blizzard developed a habit in delaying games… no worries, after the launching everyone will be happy.
Curse you Blizzard, curse you in perpetuity. Who ever is managing that development should be brought out to a parking lot and shot, and taped on youtube, then I can forgive their insulance. Maybe they could kill them self with a wakazashi too. I dunno, but damn Blizzard you a shamefull bunch for jerking your customers around. Count me out, that chit is going to be outdated by the time it gets released.
*COUGH* Starcraft Ghost *COUGH*
what’s wrong with Blizzard? keep delaying the game. I am very disapointed with them. How long they want us to wait?
As a profesional developer, I to agree with most where Blizzard should take what ever time they need to develop and deploy Starcraft II. It happens in real life where if a developer is pushed towards a deadline, the quality of work will not be there and will be buggy. If a company gives me good amount of time to develop work, the application will be perfect.
This is getting old. I’ve had SC2 reserved at gamestop for nearly a year and a half. I wonder if they’ll gimme back my $5 deposit so I can spend it on something useful?

WHEN WILL THIS EVER END???
Well, I w8′ed 10 years, I guess I could w8 a little more as long as it will be worth waiting.
Back in March or the start of April I posted a message on another forum, where I said this would happen. I said it would not come out til 2010. People didnt believe me then, but I was told this, by someone who works for blizzard, and, who is also a very good friend of mine. They; those who work for Blizzard, have known the game would not be ready for this year, for a very long time now. I know for a fact, that they have known it since at least March, of 2009, when I was told the exact same thing.
Ive been really stoked about this game for a long time now, but since March, I have put the game totally out of my mind until it comes out, because Its just so head wrecking, reading about the thing, and watching out for the latest battle reports, etc. You guys should do the same.
what the hell thay have put this off sence forever. i am
think of just forgiting the game compleatly.every time they say starcraft II comming out soon.then it dosent. it is stuped they have put this game on the back shelf forever.
Games come and go. I have played my fair share of fps, rts and various others. There is only one game that I and thousands of others return to. Other companies release games once a month that get played for a month. Starcraft 2 is going to be the last computer game I am ever going to play, except quake. Going to spend 40-60 bucks for a game I am going to play when I am old and feeble is worth the wait. “HEY YOU DAMN KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN, I TRYING TO GET MY GAME ON!!”
Take your time and make it right, starcraft 1 is still kickarse.
you guys are ridiculous. Think about it, what other gaming company do you know of with 3 titles that can also call themselves a billion dollar gaming empire? If they want to take a bit of time so that they can ensure that they maintain that title of superb excellence, then what right do you bunch of bitchy little girls have to question them. How about you guys try to make a video game on a fixed time table first, then criticize.
nonya … I HAVE built a mmo on a time table working for Aria Games, Blizzard makes great games yes but, they take to much time to fix there issues, that’s what alpha and beta testing is for. We at Aria will release a new game every 6 months at equal or greater quality then Blizzard so, in my opinion they need to fire all of there crew hire real professionals and get this game out already. Guys, 10 years is way to long Blizzard so, either release your game or don’t bother releasing it at all.
HIGH POSSIBILITY OF A DEMO LEAK!!! If you are comfortable with torrents than search it up. Remember fellas, good things come to those who wait. Chances are you will have to pay to subscribe to even get the torrent. But if your itchin to play it so bad than see if the torrent sites are true!!
well i hope my great great grandchildren will be happy when this game finally comes out…
are you kidding me blizzard. that’s not even cool. im not buying it anymore im just over it.
I agree the wait for this has been long, but Ariana, the only games that ever beat Blizzard games are their sequels. Blizzard knows what they’re doing, so just chillax and let them make an awesome game.
soy peruano y me gusta el juego deseo que me manden una copia cuando el juego este disponible thank
its ok guys look how starcraft 1 was it was a great game!! and so will this 1 and to make a really great game takes time we will just have to wait and hopefullythis game will be kick ass
DELAYED????? WAT…DA…FUCK? IM GIVING UP ON BLIZZARD. I DONT CARE ANYMORE, DELAY SC2 AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. IM NOT BUYING SC2 WHEN ITS RELEASED SOMEDAY. CONGRATULATIONS BLIZZARD YOU ARE LOSING CUSTOMERS.
If this game comes out and sucks, I will be livid.
I just hope this doesn’t go the way of StarCraft Ghost (not that I really cared too much about it) but they kept delaying that and it never got released…
omg over 10 million people play wow, and they each pay 15 USD a month. do the math and this game shoulda been out years ago
Ok guys i know how long its been since they said starcraft 2 is coming almost 2 years ago, Blizzard has a reputation for Awsome games starcraft,diablo. Starcraft is the only game that after 11 years still has thousands of active players making a game that legendary takes time when starcraft 2 comes out I guarantee that our kids will be killing brain cells 10 years from now on starcraft 2.!
omst- Blizzard is taking their time to make a better game did you think that Diablo and Starcraft 1 were created on a monthly time plot NO.! Id rather wait another 3 years for a proper remake of Starcraft than some cheap game that dissapoints Millions.
llars : 1 noob down i guess. those who threat blizzard about losing costumers for delayed releases are probably the new guys in gaming… you know the whiny 12 year olds who are spoilt by EA with shovelware releases
It all makes sense. 90% of these kids that can’t spell to save their lives all have the same idea. Blah Blah fuck blizzard i’m not going to play it now because it took to long. Do you realize that Starcraft came out in 97′ and 12 years later it’s still being played? You’re going to say SC2 will be outdated? People will be playing starcraft 2 well into the 20’s of the 21st century.
Starcraft2 now is under mega- ultra- sophisticated-development and it will take 100 years to release.
”at equal or greater quality then Blizzard”? you arrogant son of an e-slut! NAME ONE! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU! And the rest of you know-you will buy the game AND LOVE AND WORSHIP IT! btw, GAMEPLAY can hardly be outdated, take wc3 for example. I think it looks like crap, BUT ITS SO DARN playable! CAN I get an AMEN!? selfish little bastards. these people gave you MONTHS and years of FREE FUN- IF ANYTHING, YOU OWE THEM TO KEEP YER TRAP SHUT! Ariana, who made the mmo genre possible? who do you copy ? I don’t even have to say it.
Blizzard rocks, and true fans will wait as long as it takes and LOVE IT!
Ariana, your games are no where near Blizzard’s, I’ve never even heard of “Aria Games”.. they took their sweet time to release World of Warcraft, and look at it now! I’d rather have a game that someone had taken their time on to perfect it rather than a rushed, horrible game. Starcraft 2 is going to be awesome, and I can wait on it.
3 years of waiting motherf****
Ariana…just because you have built a game doesn’t mean its good…I have never even heard of Aria…that would be like me writing a shitty stephen king novel and then saying my book is just as good…your a little bias towards your own work. its normal to be proud of your And All you ppl on here who are complaining that it is taking to long to make this game should shut up too because we all know that if they released it now all you biotches would be back on a forum bitching about how they didn’t take their time and they should have waited longer. If you want a quality game that lives up to the original then you need to unbunch your panties and waste your time doing something else other than sitting on the internet all day counting down the minutes till they release that game.
Starcraft II is done already? It’s battle.net that is not complete?
“…it will take longer than expected to prepare the new Battle.net for the launch of the game.”
Ariana: I have never heard of Aria Games, and a quick search shows that GameSpot only has 1 entry in the list of games for that company: “Yoake Yori Ruriiro na: Brighter than Dawning Blue” for PS1, whatever that is.
I just don’t think you get nonya’s point: there are plenty of companies out there with “professional” programmers that create games in 6 months, but only Blizzard takes all the time they need, do not succumb to marketing pressure, and bring out games that have been so polished that they are instant classics. Their games keep selling for years, and not one of their games is a flop.
Whatever ppl say and no matter how much they are “pissed” through all the delays, I know, from following their previous releases, that once the game is out, it will be so great that all this delay frustration will be instantly replaced by praises and gaming addictions.
Instead of lowering Blizzard to most companies standard, you should be wishing all companies were like them. They are what every gaming company should be. We would be far better off with 50 times less games a year, but all games delivering what they promise.
At least they’re not locking away their programmers away in a dark room for 80+ hours a week with no additional pay like some software game companies have been known to do to meet a deadline.
im starting to think they will never release it, there to Obsessed with world of warcraft. if they dont release sc2 im going to loose all respect for blizzard.
I agree completely with nonya. Would you rather have a game that comes out in a couple months you play half the campaign and decide it sucks or a game that takes a while to make but even 10 years down the road you’re still coming back to it. And ariana don’t even think to compare yourselves to the dirt scraped from Blizzard’s fingernail. I’ve played some or your games and they sucked sweaty ass. Bad translation and just frustrating dumb game play. And as far as taking 10 years it’s been 10 years since the release of starcraft 1 they only started making sc2 in the past couple years. So cool your heels and go play sc1 or wc3 for a while.
Atleast they dont release rushed junk games. So they can take all the time they need.
I want them to do their best in programing this game, but I think i speak for everyone when i say they need to dicide on a fixed release date and stick to it. i was really looking forward to getting my copy this november until i found out that it was pushed back agian, to next june?!? Please at least send me a beta key, so i can enjoy some of the game while i wait another 5 years. I know my p.c. can use the software.
starcrarft2 is worth the ait it will be amzing and one of the resons i think it been taking so long is the improved grphics over the years they prbly been scraping ideas form ages and also they had to make the teams even.
This is how Blizzard has always functioned and they’ve created a massive gaming empire while doing so. It always sucks to wait but quality beats quantity every time.
IF WHAT I JUST READ IS TRUE, THEN:
How in the world can you call SC2 a gaming masterpiece, if they leave out the most important feature that all Companies who release games with thousands of titles, that matters most to LAN based gaming? The ability to play with your friends, tournaments, or whatever smackdown, right from the comfort of your home/garage/or squeeky computer chair. And don’t tell me that you pipe your crap through the worm infested, Internet A-hole to play with your buds. This feature is a standard feature, even in little old chess matches. I don’t care your reasons, Blizzard. Your excuses or futile attempts to explain or even mask your ineptitude to provide the most basic feature of any RTS, is simply astonishing to read this crap. I have follwed your company and/or games since inception, and the only thing I can think of right this moment, is you have some communist money driven idiotic brain farted idea that this would slip past us diehard LAN RTS gamers. If in fact, what is stated here is true…then I say “…..” you, Blizzard execs who made this decision. I truly hate you from the core of my gaming soul. Sure, your RTS will have the latest and greatest oooohs and aaaahs, but it don’t mean sh__ to me. No one else may care or say it quite like me, but I won’t sid idlely by and say nothing, even if it goes nowhere but this forum. I wish, I had a telephone number and an email to someone from you damn company, whom I’d give an earful. Sadly, I’m sure your sorry excuses could care less what one person has to say about changing the most promising RTS of all time. If you decide to put that feature back in (and somehow, someone, must have slapped you senseless) then, Gamers bless you for realizing it’s importance. If not, then I really wish you well as a franchise.
“wwwaaahhhhh it’s taking to long!” If they released it early, it would suck freaking balls. Then all of you would be complaining how buggy and sh*tty the game is. Let them take their time to make a good game that can last another 10+ years like Starcraft.
i’ll bet the new wow expansion will come out before starcraft 2… i guess we know where blizzard’s priorities lie… stupid mmo’s…
Ariana, first off, Aria games can never be truthfully boasted as a fraction better than any blizzard game (except, maybe, for starcraft ghost)! It isn’t that you guys just suck, which you do, but MMO’s just can not be equal to any other kind of game because they just suck. Blizzard makes quality games and everyone gets pissed at them because they take time to do it.
My advice to everyone that is mad at them- Keep your word and do not buy it and miss out on a great game, or shut up and be patient!
I to think it has been a long time, however as technology moves on and people demand more detail, games will inevitably take longer to build.
I wonder how many of you have programmed anything, and if you have, you know making a good programme is often more difficult than it first appears.
I am willing to wait, think, were you disappointed by titan quest or c&c since it went to EA? how many 1st person shooters have you played that feel completely the same with no new physics, anyone try Empire:TW only for it to crash every 15 mins.
There are plenty of quickly built games out there to sate your addictions while you wait.
I for one am willing to wait for a smooth game that flows nice, has a great story, that will amuse me and not crash while i watch every bullet and fist connect with it’s opponent and not having the illusion shattered by matrix-esk rip in the terrain or a characters hair poking out through there helmet
All you that are saying that the game is taking too long are idiots the longer it takes the better the gameplay will be and the better the features that come with the game will be I already know that starcraft 2 is going to be one of the best games on teh market for YEARS once it’s released… I don’t understand how people are losing interest in the game just because they don’t get the game when they want it Battle.net will be better off without those people that are saying these things so don’t buy the game if you’ve lost interst means a more secure server for the rest of us.
OK, so Battle.net won’t be working… how about releasing the single-player game?
OK… so you need more time to make a spit n polish game, a bit lame considering less people took less time to put men on the moon, but i’ll give you that. What I don’t get is why a beta cant be released for wide circulation to satiate fans that are going ballistic. Hell, make them pay $50 for a beta key… THEY WILL. Then, when the game is released, give them a discount. Blizzard actually profits from this and fans feel more loyalty. win win.
Blizz don’t think a much before releasing wow, which is a peace of shit as other MMORPG. They manage to recreate million comunity of wow with every update and could not build an easy server for strategy. Also they “must” balance game to keep korean needs (one defence point and they couldn’t use defend with workers strategy , etc.) . Fuck korean league. Game must be fun not somekind making something from thing that shouldn’t work (strange strategies) think. It’s not target of games, it’s just bonus.
you nerds seriously cant wait another 6 months for a video game?
its not so much i can’t wait another six months as it is i am tired of being told a different release date every six months.
When did blizzard give a release date? I’ve been through all this before with blizz, even before WoW was out. They take time to make a good game, not a big dealio.
This game must be better then sex for taking this long!!!!!1
I too am a little worried about the comment of LAN gaming not supported in SC2, me and a group of friends often take our computers round to a house and play SC1 on LAN. If the new battlenet is the same as orig then only one person in the household is able to connect to it via same IP address, this would mean me and my partner can no longer play together which might put me off buying the game. As for the release date im not too bothered, after all this time though I really hope all this hype is worth the wait and the game is not a flop. I guess all we can do is wait….and wait…..and wait some more
I don’t mind waiting if what they release in the end is as good as SC1. I do however mind that they want to take out lan play.
Please give us LAN!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
WTF i don’t know the exact time that blizz announced that this game would be coming out, but i know i saw things about it back in 07, and they still don’t have an official time?! i also heard that they took over half the ppl helping to produce sc 2, and put them on the WoW section, they needa get their shit together
The making of SC2 started back either right before or right after the release of WC3-Frozen Throne. The BlizzCon in Seoul, South Korea back in April/May of 2007 announced SC2 is being release Nov 2007.
You’re telling me, that in 7 years, during the making of SC2, they didn’t have the funds/manpower/resources to release a game that is up the quality of Blizzard’s standards? And Blizzard is a multi-billion dollar gaming industry?
The CEO of Blizzard Ent needs to take a look at his roster of employees, find out whos taking that extra hour and 1/2 lunches, taking extra coffee breaks, sleeping at their desk, and fire them. If they need someone to be like Terry Tate, the office-line backer, I will gladly put my hand in the air to help get this game on track.
Im going to buy the game when it gets released, but I am not going to answer the lady at the cash register when she asks me, “How am I doing today?” My personal victory at getting back at Blizzard for making me wait.
I am afraid by the time the game finally comes out, the technologies that it uses would be old. I mean the game has been in development for how many years now? It reminds me of another once highly anticipated game that never came out, i.e. Duke Nukem 4ever. I used to say I can’t wait for starcraft II… That was 5 years ago. Now I am thinking maybe Blizzard should ditch this miserable game they can never make and finally admit they have failed. Oh by the way, whatever happened starcraft ghost? Another miserable failure?
STUPID. over half the people who have posted here are stupid.. period.. name one game that still has thousands of players still playing for free.. hell name a company that has still supported a game that they released over 10 years ago. starcraft servers are still up. you can log in right now and find a game in seconds.. granted im sure you will get worked but thats besides the point. starcraft is an amazing game.. amazing.. blizzard is amazing.. starcraft 2 will be amazing shut up.. and wait.
I tink blizzard is one of the most shitiest game company.Cock sucker fags hungry for some more money.That’s all they care about retards paying them tons of cash for theyre shity games , the only game that was truly something new was The lost Vikings when blizzard was called “silicone and sinapse” after that is all Warhammer in disguise, to hell theese cock sucking fags and theyre games.
Oh please.. you people complaining about blizzard and not buying the game.. get real.. you’ll be there the release date lined up and ready to buy it so shut the hell up.. this game is going to kick ass.. if it takes them a little while longer, oh well.. your not making the game so chill.. For a game like Starcraft I’m sure they don’t want any dissapointment, that’s the bottom line
Yo Guys. I remenber when all this discussion started a few months ago and I have heard all kinds of extremist arguments. I was 13 when I picked the game so I don’t need to say how all this info on SC2, battlereports, false release dates have been messing with my head for almost -2 YEARS-.
There’s no doubt I’ll be buying the game the day it comes out.
My only complain is that Blizzard started marketing to soon to generate interest, a.ka. real money to keep sponsoring/refining the game. It’s the way the industry keeps moving/legendary games are done and little can be done about it.
Players expectations: It’s a shame for LAN and I do hope they reconsider it since it gives players who actually BOUGHT a copy more freedom to play in their houses with friends. I use to do it. Hope others will too.
Second, I hope Blizzard keeps it’s promise of keeping Battlenet 2 free of charge except for addittional customizable features. Blizzard is more than entitled to try and get its share of extra incomes - IF - that objective doesn’t collide with making SC2 as acessible as SC1 was.
Take as long as you want guys. Just don’t take us for granted. We love your games and we love Blizzard!
wft? NO LAN?! LAn play has been part of rts gaming since waay back, why pray tell would they remove it? Ah yes, to milk that cash vow for all the $$ is sore bruised tits can produce.
Lan play = one gamer with a single copy of the game (and a second serial #) putting it on hers and another family members computers and playing together/
Battlecrap 2.0 = having to buy 2 copies = twice the cash.
Reminds me why Hamachi is so dang handy and whyWoW has private servers…
What am I going to do until Starcraft 2 comes out! PLEASE BRING IT OUT SOON!!!!!
Don’t you guys have to work/study for exams or something?!
About LAN, its just the matter of letting the option of playing with your buddies at home open(As Normal). Not so much the question wether your friends should get extra SC2 copies or not. Come on, did you really expect Blizzard to keep the policy of letting a guy spawn several copies with one cd?
Don’t get greedy! Buy the game. Tell your friends to buy it too then you get to play. At least that’s honest business.
Battlenet 2 ain’t gonna have monthly fees. Isn’t that good enough already in current days? Expect a great game, don’t expect the world to change that much though.
Starcraft 2 is probably done. Blizzard just knows Wow subscriptions will drop a good 10 million dollars a month when they release sc2. This is where we see the effect of them being bought out, just hope the game is worth the wait.
Yea i agree with eric. Cause my wow susciption has already been dropped….
I prefer wait a good game from blizzard and not buy a “frankstein” game from EA with a lot of correction patches…
EA sux hard!!!!
Blizzard sucks at game releases they keep working on WoW and not SC2 as much same with Diablo 3 not as many people working on those game as updates for wow im thinking that the new exspansion for wow is coming out before SC2
question, y is it that we can watch battle reports where the game works perfectly and yet they claim its not finished. sure the battle.net as u say has somthing wrong with it, but cant u fix that while we have the game to play by our selfs? thats all i ask. i dont hate blizzard, but they should stop working on the other games while they work on this one, i agree
Ill just wait ten years to buy the game. That way I can buy it for cheap:) I was a big fan of starcraft but I have realized that waiting is a waste of time. Im just gonna buy a PS3 because PC games take to long and are rare:(
Starcraft 2 Battlereport here
http://www.gamingnewslink.com/2009/10/20/watch-the-starcraft-2-battlereport-4/
Blizzard. Best games i ever played, but don´t know how to handle with time. Like Larry(Rock´n Roll Racing) would say: “Blizzard! Let carnage begin!!!”
Come ON Blizzard! It’s only to generate Hype. We all know this.
You’re all looking about as genuine as politicians right now.
Quit the Delaying and just release it.
come on we all know the game is ready we can wait to play it online i mean seriously id rather get the game beat it and practice alone for a while than wait any more for the battlenet to be finished
i had already paid off this game and now that its been delayed myfriends and family aretelling me to get my money back. i even paid for the guide which was supposed to be givien to me today but they pushed that back to june 1st like the game. i used the money from that to buy halo 3 ost and preorder modern warfare 2
SC2 will probably just end up like SC:Ghost. They keep hyping it up and delaying, then just say it’s not gonna come out. I have played SC/BW for quite some time now (at least 8 years) and it seems Blizzard has, for the most part, just left the SC community. Many posts have made complaints about certain aspects of the game, and Blizzard just keeps on going. By the time SC2 is released nobody is going to care and it will just seem like a failure.
At this rate its never coming out
So fuck them I aint getting the stupid game anymore
ugly pigs…!!! like Duke Nuke for NEVER!!!
Ive ben playin starcraft since i was like 8 and i have never gotten bored of it and i play it every day so i cant wait for sc2 to come out cause ive ben waiting for ever and i will wait for alot longer….. maybe blizzard isnt wantin to release the game yet cause there might still be some problems in the game and they want this sequel to be the best sequel ever made and they may b makin updates for it so when it comes out they will have updates for people to download so the games dosnt get boring and there just not wantin to make em down the road just have em alrdy made so all they have to do is release em and have ppl download em ya never no but personally i believe that this game is gonna b one of the best games to ever come out on the computer
But i tall depends on if you are a big fan of sc or not
Has it accurd to yall that it may allready be completed they are just finding whays or making the disk or even just shiping them accros the glob so pepale cane by right away win it comes out and more to spar in storag for the employes(that be sweet)the may also be beta testing it even thou i havent herd a thing about it.ok another OR. Or they could be fallin behind there are peaple out there that can and may have allready hake in and mess thing up like deleting files or somthing.what i dont git about the new gamers are that they to R word to think of eney thing els that could be the reason why it takin to long.so i hope that all new players that are complaynin shut the H up and wait for a masterpiece to finish!!
srry for the cursin and also bad spellin or gramer and the slang im in a rush at werk..ill post agean latter on. CHAW.:)
sev…
From what I have heard you are right. The game is basically complete, they are just working BNet 2.0.
just be patient. If Blizzard is taking this long to make the game, they must be adding a lot of good functions, hopefully…
no! noooo!! NOOOO!! BLEAHX-NOOO!!! why?! Why so time?! I can’t take it no more! i need new pix! I want to play Zerg with new pix power! No wait no more! time for me to die! too long wait! gonna die in river.
bye.
PS: KKnD 3 would be better!
What the hell the half of next year! I will have to wait for another big year of half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I pray for the god that Star Craft 2 will come next summer or this winter. Everyone Pray for the God that it will come this winter!!!!!!!!!Then we can have fun!and good my birthday is almost here!PRAY! STARCRAFT 2 WILL COME THIS FALL!
NO!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!I’m sure that if star craft 2 delays another time I will end my own life
or I will get this crap to open the game.And another idea pray that they will add the functions faster I cannot wait for StarCraft 2. And if there’s a way that the game will be free to download it wil be good because I am trying to earn money and my family is not so rich and so dream on the game will be worked finish soon.
For all the naysayers, you know you’ll love the game when it comes out..so in the meantime go play Halo or some other good game and stop letting your hormonal imbalances make you blog rubbish.
Starcraft has always been one of the legendary games that still live. Not many other game companies (if any) can match what Blizzard has done. Wait a little longer and get your proper starcraft fix people, good things come to those who wait (even if you wait a loonnnnnng time).
Afterthought: when the game comes out, take out your frustrations on the enemy races you combat
fuck you blizzard, you over glorified your game. there is no fucking way it takes that long to come out with this game i’ve seen epic games before without the ridiculous wait. and with so many games out there to choose from i’ve simply grown tired of waiting for you to end your bullshit “hell it’s about time” my ass. fuck blizzard, fuck sc2, FUCK YOU take as much time as you need cuz i’m done with blizzard
and for all you panzies who defend blizzard like they are the only game company i think you need to pull your heads out of your asses.
Def can’t wait until this game comes out. Ha, I love reading the comments on people talking smack about blizzard. Look at how many people still play Warcraft 3, Starcraft, and Diablo and think about the expectations they have to live up to. They have been able to release the most playable games ever made and taking their time to perfect the sequel of one of gamings most coveted titles is a very respectful thing to do. They could have just released it and made their millions and hoped people liked it, but they have been making it the best they can and I am very keen on this. I know after I finished off a few years of Starcraft, probably back in ‘99, I couldn’t wait for Starcraft 2 so it has been a long wait. Also it would be really sweet if there was a Warcraft 4. I know it probably won’t happen since they have changed the genre of the game and stuff, but RTS games are the ****.
For a closing, the first and second AoE games were probably the only other comparable games in their playability and ingenuity.
At least we will get it. I think all the time we waited will be well worth it.
No! no more wait! I said i would kill myself but i forgot rope so here i am again to say no more wait! they take so long that they will be constantly update the graphic/sound/engine to with newer tecnologics and never release it! and it’s not like starcraft is that epic of a game anyway. there are other like… wait… NO! STARCRAFT IS BEST! BEST OF WORLD! MY PIX GOES MAX WITH STARCRAFT! GO FASTER BLIZZARD! YOU SO SLOW BECAUSE YOU ARE ICE (BLIZZARD) BECOME VOLCANO LIKE MY PIX! THE BOMB!
blast!!!!
What is this talking of no LAN feature?!!? I SAY NAY!!
I don’t think Blizzard is thinking this through if they are thinking of taking out LAN feature…
THIS MEANS NO LAN PARTIES!!!! I THINK THAT IS WHAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ALONG WITH BATTLENET THE UBER UBER LAN PARTIES!!! they would ruin a great game if this is what is going to happen so I SAY NAY!!!!
There are to many complaints. These people are making a game that will be immaculate and amazing. Every single rts gamer that is complaining can just cry to their mommies, get over yourselves. Take your time blizzard, but the longer we wait the more I expect from this game. And what the hell to lan games that is just stupid.
Still waiting..
Well At least when it does come out it will be perfected hopefully. Looks great as far I can tell from trailers!
i say 2020 release 4 starcraft 2
2050 release diablo 3
we will get 2 play before we die thats if we r lucky 2 be young enough
blizzard should not tell us about games till 1 month before bata
The thing about the No LAN is becayse the “LAN” Feature is a very old and primative feature… I believe it will simply be upgraded and Integrated into Battle.net 2.0, and will be named something different all together.As far as the redundant first-half-2010 release date…thats blizzard for ya

P.S. Z, If you have any words of wisdom and your stil around post something
who the fuck is Aria Games????
…
waiting gives you a chance to play all those 2-3 day games that places pump out so when SC2 dose release you can play it for years to come… when ever it dose come out
this game made me an addict and opened up the gaming world to me when I was still in junior high… now I play for life
i think the real reason they are pushing it back is cuz they are putting more effort into WoW…. cuz thats the money maker to them… sadly they dont realize that SC2 along with Diablo3 will rake in alot of money… they just have thier priorities all out of order!!
It’s clear the reason for the delay is that they’re waiting for the release of a new video chip from Nvidia in 2011. Of course, the boards that support that chip require a new bus, and Intel won’t support that bus until 2012. Apple and MicroSoft won’t support it in their OS until 2013. So I think we’ll have to wait until 2014 until everything comes together, and then for about $20M you’ll have a killer game on your desk. ($20M you say - don’t worry - after the hyperinflation of 2012 that’s about $50 today).
How can you say they’re delaying the game when they haven’t said a release date…?
Anyway, it’s gonna be great when it comes!
Stop feeding your cash cow WoW…..
WE ARE NOT stupid
I never played world of war craft. never was my style of a game. I’ve been playing star craft since the day it came out. and Star craft II will be another 10 years playing it over and over again. I don’t mind if it takes this long for it to come out.
Oh man!My praying didn’t work!I better download Red Alert 3 first, then once it released I will play both of this games!
such a lier
