I don't see this working out too well with the SC crowd... and the online player community.
Very retarded in my opinion, but not surprised really...it's blizzard lol.
Blizzard added that the plans for the multiplayer component are unchanged by the splitting of the campaigns. However, some units will now be unique to the campaigns and will not be playable in multiplayer.
so u really cant even play all class's wile online >.> so bull shit .... yea i hope no 1 buys this
It's true and if you saw the vid from Blizzcon you'd see it's not retarded at all but a very clever solution.
Point is they figured out that if they were to make the game as epic as they want to and release the whole thing at once, it would be released around 2011 and we wouldn't want that now would we? So they are gonna release the game with ONE singleplayer campaign (but still 100% multiplayer all three races etc.) And add on with Zerg and Protoss campaigns later on. Probably the other "parts" will contain some extras so it will be some kind of expansion packs, but that's just what I believe.
Why they do this is because one of these campaigns are gonna have around 26-30 missions and alot more ingame cinematics where the "normal" campaigns from Blizz contains around 10-12 missions.
Is it more clear now?
I still don't really like the idea of paying for 3 games to play one game, but it does make sense.
And if this works, I'm sure they'll do it for Diablo III aswell.
Fuck blizzard then. :)
If they will do the same thing with Diablo 3. Damn...
It seems like they are doing it for money but i would prefer they do it this way then having to wait another 4 years till it is all ready to be released. Also it was only done like this cos of Activision buying Blizzard and we all know how they like their money.
And no it will NOT be like this for Diablo 3
Well this is a pain in the ass...
But its Starcraft 2.
Even if they do do this, im still going to buy all 3 parts.
I want my protoss campaign =(
PS.
Has anyone seen the few videos about the story mode for the terrain on youtube? It looks NUTS.
Damn Blizzard is really getting POWERFUL
They haven't said anything yet but I guess it's gonna be like an expansion. The way I see it you will be able to buy either one of the "parts" and still have the "full" game except campaigns (patches when each part is released will make sure you can use all units released). And then you can buy the other 2 if you want the campaigns. So each part will be released as 2 different products. One "full" and one "campaign". Meaning you will have to buy 1 "full" and 2 "campaign" parts to have the full game!
This is pure speculation but it would be good :)
I'm prolly gonna download the 2 and then buy the last one for online... seriously though. Bullshit is an understatement to what has been done here. I hope you choke on your cash and DIE Blizzard (preferably after Diablo3 release).
there r rumors of wc4 >.> i been hearing ..... so lets wait till then to let them choke =) lolz
any ways if each cost $50 each .... i will only get 1 and jus dl the other 2 dam.. w.e we wont kno how much each is for another yr <,< =)
Exactly what I'm planning on doing too. Can't be bothered to buy all three, and fall to another one of Blizzard's money making schemes.
Although I'm sure they'll make it so that you actually need to get all three to play a most recent/up to date multilayer version.
I'd guess you'll have to put in a seriel number for each of the parts so DLing one or two wont get you online sadly.
I still trust in Blizzard though, they have never disappointed me.
I'll wait for that Warcraft 4
Warcraft 4 wont be released for atleast 5 years I can tell you that! And this topic is for Starcraft 2.
