    how are they going to improve the 'custom game' function in battlenet from war3, its impossible to find games because you cant group enough categories.

    1.) It would be nice to know the system requirements, even though it's kinda impossible to know if the graphics aren't nearly finished.


    2.) How many different types of environments will SC2 have and how do they differ from each other when it comes to interactivity or creating effective strategies? Can map tilesets be combined? Like Desert on the edge of a tropical forest, or Snowy mountain tops in the middle of a magmatic wasteland.

    3.) Will the game be as fast paced as SC1 was? Is microing playing a huge part? (I hope it is.)

    4.) Will the Siege tank still use lipstick or did it change to mascara? ... Just kidding, I'm sure the new model will rock :good:

    Is there a reason they hevent really done much on zerg, but are focusing on protoss/terran?

    Will the battle.net be similar to the most recent WC3?

    Do you have plans on how much the game will cost?

    1. Can the Planetary Fortress use its attack weapon while lifting off?

    2. In the leaked Protoss Units Preview video, we saw the Terran Reapers shoot flames at the Protoss Phase Cannons, does this mean they can switch back and forth between pistols and flamethrowers?

    3. Since the Terran Sensor Dome is now used as a stationary detector, does this mean the Terran Missile Turret is no longer a detector?

    4. How many times can you upgrade a unit's weapon, armor, and shield?

    5. Since you can merge different Templar combinations to create a Twilight Archon, does this mean that High Templars and Dark Templars will cost the same amount of resources? If not, wouldn't this make players buy for the cheaper combination?

    6. Can units, that only attack ground units (zealots, zerglings, siege tanks, etc.), hit the Protoss Colossus?

    7. On StarCraft2.com, when you visit the Phoenix unit page, there's a flash animation of the Protoss Phoenix using it's overload ability, and then it disappears (fades away) afterwards. Does this mean that the Protoss Phoenix can cloak?

    8. Can a Protoss Phase Cannon turn into energy form while it is NOT in Pylon energy and relocate itself in Pylon energy?

    9. At the very beginning of the StarCraft 2 Gameplay Demo video that was shown at the Blizzard Invitational (between 00:10 and 00:20), you can see a couple of unknown protoss units, on cliffs, appearing to be mining minerals by shooting orange lazers at them. Are these new units that were never revealed, or are they scrapped units?

    Isn't it stated somewhere that cannons in energy form disappears if not within a pylon's area? Cause that would most likely mean that the answer to the question is either "no" or "yes, but it's like self-destruction".

    yeah the planetary fortress upgrade for the command centre. its called an upgrade apparently, so my question.... when attacking a planetary fortress, will it be possible to target the weapon upgrade seperatley as you would attack a comsat in the past? or will the weapon be a part of the command centre as a whole, and only be destroyed as the whole command centre is destroyed? hope that made sense

    Blizzard has a long and famous history of never, ever giving anyone a solid release date long before it is actually released. Their response is unfailingly, "When it's done."

    Id like to know if they will add neutral stuff. Like civillians and neutral buildings for campaigns and use map setting games. You know, to make the game more complete and fun. Like more real. SC1 Lacked neutral structures.

    Are you keeping and redoing any of the old unit portraits for their "brother" unit? E.g. Viking from Goliath, Cobra from Vulture.

    Besides campaign heroes, can we expect some old voices for units?

    About map types such as Twilight, Ash World, Installation, etc., what types can we look forward to working with in SC2?

    Will they release the game in various languages around the world in the initial release, or will they first release it in english, and then start selling the translated versions after a while? (I want to have the time to get it in english before they start selling it in spanish, because the spanish version sucked in the original SC and its going to suck again, as far as i can tell from the spanish official site.)

    Well some (40%?) of the questions people asked have already been answered.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Starcraft II will be released when it needs to be.
    2. They are redesigning tank.
    3. Colosus is considered air/land unit and can be attacked by all units.
    4. On wiki, it said that the reaper just blew up and looked like it was shooting flames. (Yes I doubt it too.)
    5. The wierd looking mining unit was supposed to be some kind of doodad. (Also off wiki)
    6. Phase cannons can only move into pylon energy. Only if there is a path
    7. They are planning to leave the max units to 200.
    8. And the max level for upgrades are also going to stay the same. (Not confirmed yet.)

    More info can be found on the official website. Please do not flame me if something I said was wrong.

    My questions
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. When will they show a gameplay of other races (terran/zerg).
    2. When will we get more info on zerg?
    3. What is the scubbi...? (Some kind of infested terran/caster)
    4. Will it be a real unit?
    5. Is there going to be an upgrade for the zergling wings...?
    6. Can reaper bombs be recharged?
    7. How ballanced will the game be with the new protoss super units?
    8. Will the mother ship only be available for campaign?
