Re: Starcraft 2
Anyone got an extra guest pass? I had the beta but I was too busy with other things to actually download it and play it much. Now I'm bored and wanna give it a try.

Re: Starcraft 2
I can't believe how overpriced this thing is ending up to be. $60 for a PC download that doesnt even use their own servers? BS like that is uncalled for, but has come to be expected from publishers like Activision. Lets not forget that there are two more "expansion packs" on the way, and god knows how much each of them will cost. I'll wait for the first expansion pack to come out, the game ought to go on sale by then. Until then, I'll just use my trial.

Re: Starcraft 2
Trial is only for 14 days/10 hours, whichever comes first.
Expansion 1 is probably months away, if not more. But I have to say, I've finished the campaign, done a decent amount of MP, and it really is amazing. I was skeptical about the $$$ too, but at least it was good enough that I'd say it might be worth it. My friend who is a big WOW person says that the expansions are likely going to be in the $20 range. Based on his WOW time I guess, I'd be OK with that if each expansion is as good as the Terran campaign was, but even $100 is pushing it for a game for me. Time will tell.
The lack of LAN capability is what really hurts this game though. That was what made the first so great and popular: not needing internet access to play with friends (of course, that lead to much using of friends' keys for LAN, but there's an easy solution to that: require internet access to verify your key upon install. Then don't require internet to play local LAN games.)

Re: Starcraft 2
I have to state here that just the amount and quality of game play you get with the Terran campaign is way more than most games out there.
You have all sorts of achievements, and the multiplayer is just awesome.
I've also figured the expansions will be about 20$, as they will only add to the single player.
I don't know about some of you, But for me, This game is well worth it.

Re: Starcraft 2
I would assume the expansions will cost from 30-40 when they come out to be honest. They will probably add more units like they did with starcraft and broodwar (not entirely sure on this) and war3 and the frozen throne (for sure sure on this), and more campaign
there will also be the "you can only play with players who have heart of the swarm if you have it as well." kind of motivation.

Re: Starcraft 2
After a bit of research I found this
http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/sta ... t-we-know/
I'm not saying it's accurate or definite, but most sites seem to say similar things.
- First expansion around Xmas 2011 (Yup 12-18 Months ),
- Second Expansion in the Late 2012, Beginning of 2013.
- and Pricing it in the 30$ range (as the Warcraft 3 Expansion was)

Re: Starcraft 2
The timeline I can believe. Though I won't be surprised when the first expansion finally comes out in 3 years.
