    Wow. The thread's pretty long..I guess there are many starcraft players around here in the forums.

    I wonder though if Blizzard would follow SC2 with a WC4?

    hmm yeah, that would be pretty neat.

    except I thought WC4 is WoW? lol it is kinda, but yeah I know what you mean. ;x

    Well so far from What I have heard, Blizzard will follow up with Diablo3, and then a new ip in the form of an MMO... though Personably I believe that Starcraft Ghost has more chance of getting released than WC4 in the next 5 years (damn you blizzard I got excited and bought a Xbox in angst of it... Oh well the halo series turned out better IMHO).

    as for the memories side of this topic who else loved doing a reaver drop on some terran fools scv's? It was just an awesome feeling taking out an expo from 2 reavers on a surprise hit...

    I remember playing the beta for Mac that was kick . My friend and I played 2 v 2 he would be zerg and keep the other guys at bay and always fighting while I made a million pylons on the map. After that was done we would let them beat down on the pylons ad I would make 12 fully loaded carriers and he made the best flying zerg units and we would pummel them after my pylons took care of most of their dudes. Man we won ALL THE TIME.

    Good times!

    Yeah, fOrGG made good use of the dropship.

    I personally like High Templars owning miners although Reavers are pretty nice too especially if you get a huge amount with one scarab.

    I was pissed they canceled SC Ghost. Are they remaking it for the XBox/Wii/PS3? I remember it was supposed to come out for the Gamecube.

    D3 looks amazing but by the time it comes out I'll probably be working full time or traveling around the work and barely surviving with the pay and loans I have, lol.

    There are no new plans for SC Ghost. But I remember reading how they would not cut anything down for the xbox version, and it was gonna utilise the whole consoles worth of power... Oh well the halo series were probably going to be better made than SC ghost

    For those who watched boxer vs forgg

    boxer had a nice try at winning. Faked 1 fact expo into 2 fact vult. Pretty good choice on that type of choke since he got the contain pretty easily vs that 1 fact expo. Sucks that he didnt protect his base because he rally to forgg natural :(

    but heritage league is today too. it is the old school players tournament.
    Boxer, iloveoov, nada, tossgirl, yellow, reach, kingdom, nal_ra, anytime, savior

    Unfortunately, he is still, IMO, in quite a bit of a slump. Not as bad as before but he's not playing too spectacularly or anything like that.

    Tossgirl got owned so badly lol. The Boxer/Reach game was fun to watch. Too bad Reach couldn't really do anything after he lost so many units.

    What I used to really hate about having terrans as your enemies would be when you go on a strike and suddenly some spidermines pop up and kill half of your forces.
