I was just wondering if anyone had any info on the STARCRAFT sequel. Lord knows I love the original and the expansion, but for some reason the homepage for LEGACY won't load on my computer tonight. Anyway, just fishing for info here ...------------------ Star Trek Gamma Quadrant Average Rated 6.83 out of 10 Smileys by Fabrux *** "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier ... just as long as I'm the dictator." - George "Dubya" Bush, Dec 18, 2000

Er...this is the first I've heard about it, and I like to think I'm pretty "connected" as far as such news goes. As far as I knew, Blizzard is making WarCraft III right now and only WarCraft III. Well, along with the Diablo II expansion. There's nothing about such a game on their official site.Knowing Blizzard, I rather doubt anyone will be thinking about a StarCraft sequel until after the aforementioned WarCraft game is out. On the other hand, if you've got some hot rumors, then dish, boy, dish! ------------------ 20th century, go to sleep. -- R.E.M. **** Read chapters one and two of "Dirk Tungsten in...The Disappearing Planet"!

Hmmmm. Now that the web page is loaded, I don't know if it is a sequel. When I did a search on Yahoo for Starcraft sites, they had one topic for "Starcraft 2", which is why I posted this in the first place.

With all those Legacy titles on the right, I don't think it's about StarCraft 2.As for a 'new' StarCraft, download the latest patch (version 1.08) for a nifty new feature. Note that it is yet to be published on the Blizzard site, but it is said that you can already get it using the auto-update of the Battle.net log-on. ------------------ "That's your plan? Wile E.

Warcraft 2 was great. Dune 2 was good too. Red Alert was awesome. Tiberian Sun was OK, but did not live up to its hype.I just got Red Alert 2 for Christmas, and after reading the reviews, I can't wait to install it. ------------------ Greg: You bought me a urinal cookie?

"Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn" was released between Dune 2 and "Command & Conquer: Red Alert" and, believe it or not, spawned red alert. Everyone I've talked to in the last four years, in this topic, have been totally oblivious to the fact.------------------ Here lies a toppled god, His fall was not a small one.

And I am fully aware that you can't expect a FULLY realistic scaling system with buildings and such in these games, but put a 250m battleship next to a 1.5m german shephard in "Red Alert" and you'll hit a bit of a snag...------------------ Here lies a toppled god, His fall was not a small one.

It's C&C (TD), RA, TS, RA2, TT (Tiberian Twilight, or so the next game is supposed to be called), RA3 (assuming..)RA and RA2 take place in a seperate timeline. We also have the next Dune game coming up, not based on the TS engine, thank goodness... ------------------ "Uh, Cody, what has the Mullah of Cappistan been smoking?" "MILKSHAKES.

I'd really like to see Westwood upgrade their C&C engine to that of a 3d engine like Warcraft 3. Then the game would totally rock.------------------ "You must give in to tock." - The First One

Funny, that's just what they've done. Yes, it's a 3D strategy-game now, where you can rotate the camera-view and zoom in/out. There are some gorgeous screens on da homepage. www.dune3.com. Fairly logical name, heh (Although not if you count D2k, hmph). It's called "Dune Emperor - Battle For Dune". ------------------ Here lies a toppled god, His fall was not a small one.
