@Josh Marshall – I wonder what’s their goal when it comes to sys reqs. I _hope_ it’ll be like in Starcraft – where every recent computer could play it. I _hope_ this means SC2 will be playable on most popular hardware configuration as of now – laptops with current Intel GFX.

Seeing the screenshots…I seriously doubt it.

BUT…I still hope Blizzard will prove me wrong.

Finally, a game that is something compared to Starcraft 2.

@qp – I assume it’s to make it harder to deep-link the images directly. This way you have to go to their site and view the images in the manner they prefer.

I know that Blizzard is awesome. I know they want to stay true to desires of the massive Korean SC fanbase by keeping sys reqs low, and not fiddling w/ gameplay mechanics of the original.

That said, and this is just a gut feeling based on the few vids and screenshots I’ve seen, I think they’re not keeping up w/ Relic. Relic has really set the standard for RTS titles w/ DoW and CoH, and SC2 looks pretty dated in comparison.

I hope I’m wrong! I usually am.

The tauren units are fairly obviously units you get via cheating, hence why they are blowing the living hell out of all of the marines in seconds with ease. I’ll place a bet on the cheat being “the cow says moo”.
