Starcraft: Ghost
 

first off, go and look at the new site

theyve updated it since swingin ape took over.

so what about this new multiplayer?
Brian, you said something about it, care to comment?

release date?
ive had a reserve since it was supposed to come out the first time?

rating?

theyve got some new vehicles...

thoughts?

This looks amazing. However, the fact that you can't play as Zerg or Protoss severely hurts the multiplayer mode. The small number of playable characters is a concern too. I am looking forward to the single player mode though, which looks very promising.

But thats alot to still hope for. I mean if they spent this much time doing this game and are possibly going to redo the whole thing, wouldn't it be easier to make what the StarCraft fans really want, a StarCraft 2?

I think that they should do as Brian suggested and make "World of" into a franchise, bringing World of Starcraft to Blizzard fans. The thought of playing a Hydralisk, stabbing Marines in the head and out the gut... I'm not a violent person, but *drool*. Oh, that'd break my heart if they made WoS and I still had dial-up.

As to the game that actually will be made, the time to release Ghost was at least five years ago. Most of the Starcraft play-base has moved on and there have been some great games released since this game was thought up. The Splinter Cell series comes to mind. Splinter Cell already has the technological spy thing wrapped up; Ghost would be stepping on its toes. To stand out, it'll need more than the Starcraft universe.

Starcraft should've just been a all out first person shooter where you choose what unit you play in each level, and each level is easiest with a certain unit. You also should've had 3 story lines: Terran, Zerg, Protoss. but, nope! Blizzard has betrayed my best hopes... maybe they'll make a WoS. in 3 years. I would be a Firebat, handsdown! just use my +2 uber flamethrower of burnie burnie death!

Well they do call the game Starcraft:Ghost for a reason. So it shouldn't have surprised anyone why you would only be playing as a terran.

World of Warcraft has done very well but I don't think a WOS is coming but I do think Starcraft 2 is one of the next upcoming games they will make.

Ive been tracking this game for a while, and its about friggen time!

It looks very promising, im getting a copy as soon as i can, but if it turns out to be a let down, im going to be very dissapointed in blizzard. Although, i can't wait to get my hands on the SC Shotgun!!!

Driving a siege tank is going to be a bonus, too bad they didn't put goliaths, the dirty dogs...

Morotis: on the multiplayer mode i think it says you can play as a firebat.

actually in the multiplayer you can play as a light infantry (like 1/2 a marine, can pilot stuff), a ghost (can pilot stuff), a marine (kickass heavy armor), and a firebat (flame throwers AND napalm missles). they have a variant of CTF, where you capture the command center and fly it back to your command center, which must look beyond awesome.

the goliath is a good AA but you cant deny the thrill of dropping huge shells from a mile away with the seige tank.

OMG! +1 UBER FLAMETHROWER OF BURNIE BURNIE DEATH!!!!!LOL!!!!!1111

Also, the seige tank is made slow! the goliath can straight up and run if things look bad, try that with a seige tank and you're screwed. so while you can kill things from far away! If anything gets within range of you, you die... and seige tanks attacks do splash damage, so you can't lob bombs into a frey unless you enjoy damaging you own units...

The siege tank is made slow because it is a TANK. We are not talking about some super tank that can fly. Also you do not group the tanks together with siege unless there are near by units to protect them from splash damage. I think the best use of siege mode is for base defense.
