SC2 Rumored to be delayed

Starcraft 2 is rumored to be pushed into being released in early 2010.

As much as I am looking forward to this game, I think it's more of a benefit for me. It leaves me time to save up to get a new computer, and it gives them more time to develop it so they can't have an excuse if it sucks.

There's a nice explanation/introduction video about Starcraft 2 unrelated to the delay at the bottom.

Been weeks since someone posted anything in the sc2 forums and when someone does it's bad news. I guess....like Echo said, this is a good thing. I guess

:C

I'm not that upset to be honest. I'll be ready to buy it whenever it comes out and the longer it takes (I assume) the better the end product will be.

Not surprising at all. I still wouldn't be surprised for it to not be released until late 2010. Or even later, honestly; though I don't think that will happen. I'm not upset by this, either. College is going to take up a lot of time... so who needs SC2 until next summer, anyway. :P

Damn it, I wish it was delayed to like 2012. :| That's the next time I get a computer.

If Blizzard ever "delayed" SC2 like SC: Ghost, they'd all get murdered by Koreans.

I would not necessarily call it a delay if Blizzard repeatedly said "When it's ready" for release.

Something like that would definitely not happen to SC2 unless all of Blizzard blew up.

Yeah, the game can't really be delayed when they never announced a release date in the first place.

They are doing everything in their power to make it the next big E-Sport. SC2, some version of DotA, and Counter-Strike 2 will be the 3 competitive PC games of the future, I hope.

There were interviews claiming we may see it in late 2009. Not an exact date, sure, but they did set a time frame that they wanted to hit.

I'm also glad that SC2 is delayed because D3 is coming out after. I want to have enough of a buffer to buy a new computer to play enough of SC2, and then switch over to D3.

they also said it would come out around early december last year and sometime in 2007 I believe. It has been postponed, there might have not been an exact date but there was a certain time period where it was going to come out.

Where are your sources that's by a Blizzard official? Every time they were ever asked about a release date, they always said "When it's ready" and I never heard of a date. Unofficial sources such as GameStop, EB Games, GameSpot, IGN, GameInformer, etc. are not official. Sites such as GameStop only writes and predicts release dates for games just so they can receive money from pre-orders long before the game is ever released.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
[02:29 am]
Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?
[12:32 pm]
Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
