No release date. No plot data. Just a bit of gameplay footage, a couple of trailers, and an announcement that it's coming. I can barely contain myself.

you sound like my friend. I never was into it. but i like when good games come out. maybe ill get into it someday.
Starcraft is probably the best real-time strategy game every made. If the sequel's even half as good, it'll be worth it's weight in platinum-plated cocaine.
Normally, I don't get this excited over a video game, but when it's a favorite franchise being made by a company with a near-perfect track record, I just can't say no.

I played over 2000 games online of the original and the Broodwars Expansion..
It's definitely one of the best ever made... lately though, I like Command and Conquer 3
Blizzard doesn't have a perfect record by any stretch.. as it has one HUGE skid-mark with World of Bullcraft..

Ok, let's compare this to Civilization. Civilization is a turn-based strategy game. That means that you issue orders to all of your troops, order production for your buildings, and then set all of your stuff to do what you want it to. Then, you hit 'end turn' and one of your opponents does the same thing, and on and on until it's your turn again. Each unit can move so far per turn. Everything takes x turns to produce, etc. Ok, now that we have a basis for comparison, on to real time.
In a real time strategy, all players play simultaneously. When you tell a building to produce a unit, it will take x seconds, rather than turns. Your units move so far per second, and rather than just having some arbitrary attack power, they have a rate of fire (hit once every x seconds) and do x damage per hit. All players may issue orders simultaneously. All troops move simultaneously. There are no turns. It's far more fast-paced and more like a game of capture the flag or football than checkers or chess. If you want to see what I'm talking about, Starcraft is about $10 a copy. Heck, for $15, you can probably get the battle chest, which has Starcraft, the expansion pack, "Brood War," and strategy guides for both. It's easy to learn and fun as hell.

Agreed. StarCraft built the Blizzard empire, and even though it hasn't seen an upgrade in a decade, it is still the standard for ALL 2.5D RTS games. StarCraft 2 is the long-awaited sequel/upgrade which for the first time in gaming history DOESN'T fuck up the sequel/upgrade process.
If anyone is interested in game programming/design, StarCraft is the textbook example of how to do it right.
