StarCraft 2 Battle Report - Gameplay Trailer

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 05:28pm 20/04/09 | 21 Comments

Blizzard have released more extended StarCraft 2 footage in the form of their second Battle Report video.

We have two versions of the video - a lower quality, streamable one, but our download file is where the quality visual money is - so StarCraft 2 fans should definitely check it out right here.

Of course, at this stage there's still no official release date for what is arguably the most anticipated RTS of all time (or at least, modern times), but such is Blizzard's way - when it's done, it's done.

It's worth watching the match. It's pretty good and it highlights some cool terran units.

Anyone else thought it was too cartoony? Especially the terran. Maybe it was the bad quality stream but the terran needed to be more mechanical while the zerg need to be more organic and insect like.

There should be some interesting developments in the metagame of SC2. I can't wait for it to come out.

So can you hide your units behind cover in SC2? Does terrain do much other then look pretty and block movement?

Haha, so in SC2 we need to get used to the terran rush?

too cartoony?

Not really, i'd say it's less cartoony than the original Starcraft was.

That weed grass/forest thingy only blocks sight, you can still move through it. Wonder if they are going to do something similar to war3 with high/low ground.

original SC high and low ground made a difference, and also running under trees/scrub. I assume they would have similar rules for the terrain.

I'm really liking the effort put in to the interface to help with broadcasting a match. It would seem that there is a definite push to place SC2 right into the middle of eSport right off the bat. I'm hoping it comes with some sort of in-game uploading / viewing ala SF4 to bring all the commentary and analysis to the masses.

after watching that replay, it seems like the mechanics are far simpler than either coh or dow2... confirm/deny?

CoH and DoW2 have no or very little base building mechanics at all, so right from the get go SC2 is more complex before you even involve combat.

Infi read a review that used the phrase "metagame" ... like all good managers he can use the terminology with out understanding it.

CoH is all about the buildings, wtf u talking about.

lol what you mean its 1 of each building restricted to the back of the map protected by pre map placed MGs that make harassment impossible till tier 2 ?

oh yea the management of that is just mind boggling
