Probably Star Craft, but I hope its Diablo (another expansion not a whole new engine).
Post 3
No - Diablo 3 on the Warcraft engine (or some sort of 3d engine that's fully rotatable like Dungeon Siege)...StarCraft 2 would only be a boring copy of Warcraft III, but set in space (I'll just go and put on my asbestos suit...)
Post 4
and starcraft wasnt just warcraft two....plus extra race. Though i'll admit starcraft did kick some ass.
Post 5
Starcraft rocked.
Considering the races were completely different, with different units, buildings, ways to build, everything, it was one of the most balanced games in it's genre. Plus they didn't just give units a different picture and make another race(like alot in this genre do). I got sick of W3 before i got sick of Starcraft, so i hope its SC2.

Post 7

StarCraft: Ghost Revealed at Tokyo Game Show
Today at the Tokyo Game Show Blizzard Entertainment announced its newest product under development, StarCraft: Ghost. In this 3D tactical-action console game set in the legendary StarCraft universe, players will take the role of Nova, a lethal Ghost operative trained in the arts of espionage and tactical combat.
As a Terran Ghost, Nova will employ an amazing array of physical and psionic abilities. Nova will also have access to a host of hi-tech weapons and vehicles, some of which will be familiar to players of StarCraft and Brood War.
Check out the official announcement in our latest press release. You can also see more of Nova, her adversaries, and some of the interactive 3D environments that she'll be infiltrating at our new StarCraft: Ghost Web site.

Hellfire was absolute shit (IMO) and it's mainly beacuse Blizzard had pretty much nothing to do with it, and they left it all up to Sierra.
Post 21
how can someone on a mainly cs forum bitch about sierra??

I never said anything about CS. Just because they had something to do with it doesn't mean I think it's shit. I just didn't like Hellfire because they wrecked the whole game IMO.
I'm gonna take your question WAY to seriously and say:
It's quite easy to bitch about sierra on a CS forum. Nothing is stopping me :P
Post 23
who said GU was *mainly* CS?
Edit: Penny Arcade list :Ghost as a console only game - anyone have any more info on that?

War3 was fun for a week, but that game is another example of an evil DX8.1 game, patch after patch.
Considering BF1942 was made by the ppl who made MOH:AA they have done a good job as the maps are huge and the game runs better than MOH:AA on my comp.
BTW it says you need HW T&L as a minimum requirement, but 'we' seem to run the game well.
Post 25
BF1942's copy protection system is raping the gameplay though - many many people very upset over it or so I've heard.
Post 26
or so you read on penny arcade :P
speaking of PA, i think this answers all the questions

Clarify
Post 28
not just on PA - though Tycho put it the most eloquently :P
Edit: latency issues while the copy protection initialises after each and every map or so I believe - you spend 1 to 2 minutes waiting for the map to load, play till the timer runs out, then it drops you and spends a minute or two verifying that you have a shop bought version of the game before repeating the cycle. www.penny-arcade.com for more info
