Doesn't the picture below look like the canceled X-Box game Starcraft: Ghost?

Well no, It's Starcraft 2 in third person action game mode.

Yep, Starcraft 2 has the capability for third-person action games, up and down arcade shooters, and editors that can craft crazy units like the Uberlisk.
The action game in the video didn't take them much longer than a few days.

Think of all the possibilities mapmakers can create with Starcraft 2. You can now actually make a third person action game(although you could do it in WC3) that will be much easier to integrate and much easier to control the unit (the guy in the video only used his keyboard, no mouse clicking!)
Not only that but the ability to make unique units like the Uberlisk.

Not only that but I discovered some cool stuff about the Bnet as well. The new Bnet will feature quite a few new things that will interest most avid players:

What do you think about Starcraft 2 now?
I believe the editor is amazing and the Bnet is looking pretty nice. I'm sure we all heard of the pricing for premium battle net maps, but who's to say that other freelance mapmakers won't make maps that will surpass the premium ones?

All in all this is pretty amazing stuff. ^^

>be faceless void >mfw I have no face

Blizzard gets full rights over any map made. If they want to make it a premium map, they can. Basically we can't choose for a map to stay free.



Red classic.

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

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?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
