doubtful, but blizzard has been known to hide certain key aspects of the game until right before release.
From the early look at the website ( http://www.starcraft2.com/ ) it seems that they're going to be scrapping a lot of the units from Starcraft 1. I hope this is on a bigger scale than WCIII (ie higher unit cap.)

I have been wanting this game for years. It is about time they started it.

Holy shit. I was all but certain it was going to be World of Starcraft.
This is way cooler, though.

Meh. I'll hold off judgment for now. The original Starcraft was badass, and I still play it, but this just looks like the same game. The graphics aren't any different.

Why not Diablo 3? They just made Warcraft 3 and isn't Starcraft pretty much the same game with different themes?

Are you guys kidding me...the games potential is endless. Blizzard will find a way to make this interesting with all these new units and capabilities. Simple works better...it doesnt need to have the best graphics

I'm sure it will be a good to great RTS, but their are so many RTS's on the market that I don't know if it will be a huge hit in the US.
