Starcraft: Ghost is not Starcraft 2. I HAVE PROOF

[kaos]

i copied this from a site ( forgot name ) this is wat Blizzard E-Mailed them:

Hello. We at Blizzard Entertainment like to let the fans know what's going on with our products. For this reason, we have decided to release some StarCraft 2 information to some of our fans' sites. We give you permission to post this information on your site.

First, there will be 4 races, Terran, Protoss, Zerg, and the Protoss/Zerg hybrid, called Vanix. Each race will have 5 new units, 2 new buildings, and new upgrades. For the Terrans, they will have: Rocketeer (shoots rockets, has splash damage), Heavy Cruiser (improved Battle Cruiser, used in heavy assault situations), Wraith Bomber (it's a bomber), Wriath Kamikaze (like the Zerg's Scourge, but has guns too), and Cannon (not like the Protoss cannon, but more of a tactical strike cannon, immobile) The Protoss will have: Mothership (improved carrier, holds 20 interceptors, more health, more shields), Nomad (physically improved Zealot, with an energy rifle), High Archon (a Dark Templar/High Templar meld, it will be like a Dark Archon, can mind control, and attack), Walker (combination of 5 Dragoons, slow, but very powerful), and Exploder (name may change by release, it's just like an Observer, but can be sent in to detonate inside an enemy base.) The Zerg will have: Hyperlisk (Ult! ralisk's evolved stage, much quicker, and much more powerful, can burrow), Acid Colony (attacks both ground and air with acid), Creeper (does not attack, only moves underground, used for spying), King (like a Queen, but can attack, and infest any building of any race that produces soldiers, thus making things like Infested Siege Tanks that roll into areas and explode), and finally Bladeling (a bigger version of a Zergling, stands upright, and wields blades for arms.)

Second, here are some of the upgrades (some, not all, there are many more than this). The Terrans will have: The ability to make any building fly (including supply depots), Omega Ray (like the Battle Cruiser's Yamato gun, the Heavy Cruiser's Omega Ray will do much more damage), and (one of our favorites), the ability to eject from a vehicle. Let's say a Siege Tank is about to be destroyed, you can eject the person inside, and you'll be able to run away, thus saving a person for later use. The people inside the vehicles will be statistically better than Marines, they'll have more health, do more damage, and have better range. Some Protoss upgrades include: Pylon mobility (yes, now you will be able to move your Pylons. It will be wheel based, so it can't travel over water.), Dragoon Cloak (you'll be able to cloak your Dragoons with this, we're not sure if we will have this for Walkers though), and Fortify (a High Archon ability, it channels the shields of the High Archon into e! ither a building or another unit. Zerg upgrades will include: Overlord bombing (you'll be able to pick up bombs with overlords, and instead of just spying with them, drop bombs on your enemies) Zergling Acidic Sac (will allow Zerglings to spit acid), and Hyperlisk Trample (if a Hyperlisk encounters a small unit like a Marine, it can simply walk all over him and kill him) There will be some added graphic effects too, if you destroy a Battle Cruiser, it may either explode in the air (depending on the force of the blow) or it may fall to the ground, causing damage. Another cool effect we have planned, sometime when you destroy a Siege Tank, you'll see the driver fly into the air, then plummet to the ground. We also plan the following: If a machine based unit is destroyed, it does damage to the units around it.

We do not have much information on the Vanix race, we have just started working on them. We may even throw in a hidden mission or two, or even a hidden race. The cheat codes will be changed, and they will still be disabled on Battle.net. Speaking of Battle.net, it will be possible for 14 players to compete in a match, and it will be possible to change settings (day/night, fog thickness, etc.) Alliances will be chosen before the match starts, and cannot be broken. You will be able to ally with the computer as well.

Already knew Ghost wasnt SC2...... kinda like Command and Conquer Renagade... but in SC universe

[kaos]

does anyone else know?

[Sum Yung Guy]

yup...... just about everyone who waited for the timer to hit 0 at starcraft2.com and then saw it was called StarCraft: Ghost and read the description and looked at screenshots.......

[kaos]

wait wait wait...so ur saying that Starcraft 2 really IS starcraft: ghost???

[Sum Yung Guy]

no im saying look at www.starcraft2.com ....think of it as a side story, exactly like command and conquer renagade

[kaos]

oooooooooohhhhh!!! now i dont get it....

[Sum Yung Guy]

lol
*notices the dont*

[Sum Yung Guy]

Its not Star Craft 2, its not a sequal.
It IS a just a side story in the Star Craft universe

[JohnnyTAE]

*moved

[Jamesadin]

so its basicly a sequel, but doesnt go along with the story?

[Chruser]

Vanix? That means blood vein in Latin. Are they running out of inspiration? Oh, wait, they already did when they made a W40K rip called Starcraft.

[Jamesadin]

Oh well, Maybe they have really big veins...

[Dark Dragoon]

Most of what Kaos posted is called OVERBALANCED. 20 interceptors? Haha, blizzard already knows how people used mass carrier, they wouldn't make a 20 interceptor unit, thats just fucked up. Zerglings spitting acid? You wish, they already got hydralisks for that. Hyperlisk? OMG worse name EVER. Walker? Haha, thats also overpowered, 5 goons into 1=100 damage therefore meaning OVERPOWERED. Hydralisk Trample? once again, overpowered. You could destroy anyone's workers almost instantly, crippling them from the start. Rocketeer? Hell god damn no. Siege Tanks already fill that position. The only rockets in sc are missiles, and lockdown bullets. 14 player matches=extreme lag, and most people would have to deal with some god damn fucked up slow D/L's, not to mention lag caused by too many units, so lag + lag=unplayable game for MP, also the weather graphics could cause lag, so...no. Kaos, dont go posting things that are pure bullshit, it isn't nice.

[DKWicked]

I can prove its not starcraft 2.....if it was, it would have been called Starcraft 2......see? I dont think they would have left off the 2 if it was actually 2, cause people really want 2

[Sum Yung Guy]

So the curse of Monkey Island isnt monkey island 3?

[kaos]

Dragoon are u saying that i made that shit up? cuz i didnt and dont just go around sayin ppls shit is really BULLshit cuz sometimes u just never no anyway i dont see u postin any new discoveries you lazy @@$h#!e...

can u prove any different ?? didn't think so btw overbalanced ? how can it be over balanced if u have no clue the hp and sheilds and everything else dumbass it takes more than the info given but if u can prove different and it is bull shit then i will look stupider but intil then stfu find the info before u post dumbass remarks

[DKWicked]

its official name is Curse of Monkey Island, but on the back of the box (I keep all my old computer game boxes, along with empty soda cans) it says its the third in the series.......if this was sc2, youd think blizzard would be toting it as such

[Dark Dragoon]

Well let's see einstein. Powerful units tend to have high amount of hp/shield, just look at the carrier. As it is, 12 carriers are hard to kill, and 1 "Mothership" counts as 3 1/4 carriers. so, all it takes to own anyone is 3 "Mothership"'s to kill. There's no new anti air unit (according to kaos), and Carriers when fully upped have 5 armor,making valks extremely weak. So, that means Terrans become obsolete, and since interceptor's arent really effected by acid spores, zerg become obsolete as well. Now, even as blizzard has put it...


Q: Will there be a StarCraft II? When?
A: Although we have not made any announcements and do not have a development or release timeline, we do fully intend to revisit the world of StarCraft on PC at some point in the future.


Haha, blizzard has put you to shame Kaos. If the site you "said" was really emailed about it, all the main sites that blizzard gives STRAIGHT to would already have it. Now fucking shut the god damn hell up, and nosebleed, you take a knife and do this to yourself :slice:

BTW, maybe you should do that too kaos.


EDIT: Kaos, why don't you tell us the URL for that site. Discoveries huh? I don't go discovering crap like you.

[kaos]

maybe i will @@$h#!e, maybe i will...

[Hell Hound]

hey dumbass u have no proof eather u think i will take your word for it so u shut the fuck up how do u know they won't make the interecpters different dumbshit my point who says they have to have high powered sheild

maybe they will up the cost of that stuff so u can't get it for a longer time so dark u don't know SO SHUT THE FUCK UP INTIL U CAN PROVE IT IN THE FROM OF A WEBSITE OR A URL DARK DRAGOON INTIL THEN EVERYBODYS INFO IS JUST AS GOOD AS ANY ONE ELSES

[Dark Dragoon]

Nosebleed, guess you took the knife to your brain instead of your throat. Kaos said the "mothership" has more hp/shields than a carrier, meaning that I was right, not you. As for me, I don't have to prove anything, because Kaos hasn't proven anything either, hes just a lame ass liar, and your trying to back him up. They won't make the interceptor's different, they didn't for the Gantrithor and regular carrier's, nor did they make diff scarabs for Warbringer and a regular reaver.

No one's info about sc2 can be proven real until a LEGITIMATE site shows something like that, and I have given the proof that no site has gotten any info about sc2 other than what blizzard has said, and they said they have not made ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS.


Stop trying to back up Kaos, he already gave up on himself. This time, take the damn knife to your throat!

[Jamesadin]

Damn, that was harsh

[Sum Yung Guy]

Cease desist with the flames at once!
Or feel the wrath of Sum Yung Guy!!

[kaos]

...who the fuck are u to say that i have givein on MYself bitch why dont we take this shit to the flame forum asshole...you dont know shit...you dont even have anything else to back your shit up, but I DO...brb with the URL in a minute...

[Dark Dragoon]

Sure ya do. Maybe that picture you use in your sig is actually you, drunk and wasted on someone's door steps.

They figured, "Sure... it's a rip off of Warhammer 40k... but then again... like eight people know about W40k... so let's do it... it'll be awesome." And it was.

[Jamesadin]

SHUT THE HELL UP ALL YOU FLAMERS!

[Dark Dragoon]

Robotic, blizzard has yet to name that new race, and I guess chruser didn't realize this yet. Whatever name blizzard gives them when they do will be fine (as long as it isnt gey/retarded/barney like).

[DKWicked]

Im guessing....."barnagogs"

[Gladius]

Im sick of SC right now maybe SC 2 will bring me back

[quikspy67]

Well there is going to be a a star craft 2 but it's not ghost

[Grav]

You're all being pretty gay about this. I bet this thread is old, too. Close this.

[quikspy67]

Shut up Grav

[Almata]

What you typed sounds like a bunch of fake crap, if it is real I wanna know who the hell at Blizzard talks like that. It sounds horrible, and Blizzard is a professional gameing company.

How can you be sick of SC :( , seems just the opposite for most people i know, when they get sick of D2 they just goto SC for a day lol.

[Gladius]

I got sick of it because i played it for a year and after a while it got to repetative.

[quikspy67]

ya it does get preety boring

[Gladius]

And after I got sick of it I started to play medal of honor. But I think I might install it again and start playing again.

[Valmar]

LMFAO this may have already been said but whos to say these so called mothershipd dont have lets say 50 life and 50 shield? That would make them fair, one nuke=all dead making terrans effective again, then 2 defiler and 12 hydras would own it, 1 defiler use the blood shit that reduces life then the other defiler use the cloud thing and make hydras unstopable to them, this is just one example of ways to kill these so called motherships. If what he said is true then hes listed all the advantages and none of the dissadvantages, wither one some of what is posted is either bullshit or laking alot of crucial infromation.

[Penny_Bags]

hmmm.... let me see.... "Startcraft 2" if thats what it will be called won't just be an improvement on the old game. you say they will get "new units" as if all the old stuff remains. Look at bliz's other games. Diablo 1 turned into Diablo 2, and many of us know what a difference you see there, same as for warIII. EXPANSIONS and PATCHES are what are used for improvements. Post the URL, i dare you...

[Satoshi]

That certainly was a lot of BS. Feel better now?

Anyone have any real info on Starcraft: Ghost?

[HellSlayer]

I Know that Starcaft Ghost is not Stacraft 2. Starcraft Ghost looks like a fun game. Blizzard made the game for GameCube and PS 2.

[Admiral_Jason]

We've....umm.....known that for a while.

[Jamesadin]

Yeah, this is an old thread.

[Valmar]

its been bumped many many many times, i would close it but thats just my opinion we arent getting any more use out of it right now.

[Rurouni Storm]

If people keep bumping it for no reason, I'll close it.

There's no problem if they're adding to the discussion, though.

[Jamesadin]

I'll close it if it gets too out of hand.

[Gregifer]

"Q: Is this StarCraft II?
A: No."

-direct qoute from the F.A.Q. section at www.starcraft2.com

http://starcraft2.com/ghost/faq.shtml <<url

....... :wierd: thats all the proof i need

[quikspy67]

No James and Storm, don't I have it undser control I'll close it!

[Jamesadin]

Note: My post was in December 2002.

[zagggon]

lol no shit sc ghost is not sc2, that is 0ld news-also ppl plz try to stay on topic plz

[quikspy67]

Oh this is a dug up thread my bad.

[zagggon]

if you want to know more about sc ghost then goto the official blizzard website

[Rurouni Storm]

"The wheel is spinning, but the hamster is dead"

Time to stop the wheel.

[quikspy67]

What are you talking about?

[Jamesadin]

Its a metaphorical term.

In this case it means that the thread is still gettin gposts, but they do not relate to the topic at hand.

[quikspy67]

Oh I see he closed the thread.
