- - Starcraft 2 Officially Announced (http://zelaron.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42434)

I saw in an interview that they've been working on SC2 since WC3: The Frozen Throne was released. They said they wanted to announce a game that was playable for once. So maybe 2009 is too far away?

wow... so tha'ts what, 3 years? NOVEMBER of 07 PLEASE (wishful I know)!

They will always be dragoons to me. Immortals... pfft. This isn't underworld, blzzard!

The SC2 site explained that the buildings that produced Dragoons were destroyed by the zerg, along with the plans for them, hence the creation of the Immortals.

The game looks like it'll be fun, but I have trouble playing RTS competitively. I just simply can't track that many things at once. :(

STory I read said that the Immortals are just upgraded Dragoons.

I'll warn of a spoiler if someone wanted to actually find this out via the game when it comes out, but this comes directly off the Starcraft 2 website.

The remaining dragoons have become the Immortals, refitted with twin phase disruptors and hardened energy shields that can shrug off the most powerful weapon strikes - though at the cost of leaving them more vulnerable to the pinprick attacks of lesser foes. The heavily armed and shielded immortals give critical fire support to the ferocious legions of zealots by eliminating enemy artillery and ranged attackers, allowing the zealots to close in and complete their work of destruction.

At any rate, looks like it's kinda both what Sov and I said.

I forget the original story already....

All the races originate from Tatooine.

Night Elves have infested Starcraft 2 already, and are dancing naked on top of buildings.

...legendary Photoshop inc when I get home from work, assuming I'm not too lazy or forget about it.

I want one barrel in the pink, and one in the stink.

Then I want it sent to blizzard fanart. Ty.

Might be a different Immortal than you're thinking.

The animation I'm watching shows 2 barrels on each side. One is longer then the other.

Interesting, didn't they say "twin" cannons?

A "twin" turbo often consists of a small and large turbine, so I guess the same can be true of guns.

That's interesting.

I just watched the 22 minute developer's video. Awesomee shit man. I can't wait to see all the new terran/zerg units.

The game does look like a lot of fun imo.

This will be the 1st computer game I've bought in years.
