Blizzard are looking for RTS designers so it's looking even more likely were going to be seeing Starcraft 2, can't wait for this if it is what they are planning.

News from IGN
 
Hmm... I highly doubt any sequel would live up to SC. The balance is only perfect by sheer luck as none of the staff could have predicted the way the game would develop in the professional scene and the variety of tactics.

The majority if not all of the staff that worked on SC are no longer with Blizzard so I have very low hopes, especially after the god aweful WarCraft III

Edit: I'm a stonking StarCraft fanboy but I'll be looking forward to Supreme Commander far more that StarCraft 2.

Don't let Kreeeee see you say that!

It's a great game, I'd imagine you can pick it up with the expansion very cheap these days.

Well maybe they will keep all the same unit stats and just improve the look and single player campaign.. :) that way you get all the classic gaming with some new graphics and maps etc..

3D graphics would completely lose the responsiveness of SC. In a sequel I'd want very high res 2D and an extra race as well as a decent front end and ladder system.

But I just know that they would go all WarCraft III on it and totally trash the game.

Seen that ages ago, it's nothing more than a crap mod.

A zerg rush is with drones and zerglings :p

StarCraft? Yes of course... a game mor ethan 4 times as popular as CSS not working on XP would be very strange indeed.

Edit: War3 is an average game but compared to StarCraft and WarCraft2 it sucked hard.

interesting fact - starcraft was going to be a warhammer 40000 rts but GW pulled the plug early on in the project.

Humans = space marines
Zergs = tyranids
Protos = Eldar

Or so I am led to believe. Great game though, if a little on the impossible side in the later levels :)

so if thats the case. how does starcraft stack up against the dawn of war games? bar the gfx and up to date stuff etc. gameplay wise?

I'm highly biased but it regularly wins the best RTS ever awards. It's far superior to dawn of war but has a much higher skill level online.
