It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

I am a big fan of Blizzard games. Especially Diablo II (I stopped coming here last summer because of it!)

In 4 days, on May 19th, Blizzard is going to announce a product (check their website www.blizzard.com for a teaser timeline)

They will either announce...

Diablo III (WOO!)
Starcraft 2 (Woo?)
Warcraft 4 (God that would suck)
Or a completely new product

NOT A WoW expansion, because, for one, they are announcing one at Blizzcon (and two new products) AND because Burning Crusade just came out AND because if you notice in the timeline, Starcraft Broodwar is not on there, nor is Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, nor is Burning Crusade, the new product would fit inside WoW if it was a new expansion.

Keep your eyes open on www.Blizzard.com , I'm extremely anxious!

What would be the point of a Warcraft 4? Infact I thought the stopped the whole Warcraft franchise after WoW came out. I'd be happiest to see a Starcraft 2, but Diablo 3 also sounds cool.

Turns out the place it's being announced at is the biggest Starcraft convention, so, chances are it's Starcraft 2.

But there is always hope!

Nha, they're going to turn around and say:

"Ha! Fooled you! We haven't even been working on a game."

I play Diablo a lot, yes.

Wow!

They said product

but at 2:00 - 4:00 PM they are "announcing the new products". It's plural! Maybe there is two.

All I know is if they don't announce anything Starcraft related the Koreans are going to bum rush the stage. Korea IS the international Starcraft country of the world.

Information taken directly from IGN's live blogging:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Confirmed new units:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
New Protoss units

Immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked

Stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability.

Colossus - huge unit that can blast out dual lasers and use long legs to traverse differences in terrain height - in the demo two of them obliterate about fifty or so zerglings.

Pheonix - can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast - but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.

Warp Ray - flying unit that does increased damage the longer it hits a target with it's continuous blue laser.

Protoss Mothership - warped in in a serious of cubes - giant floating base - can only have 1 at a time - cost big resources - special abilities include timebomb that slows all enemy missiles inside

New Terran units

Reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs

New Zerg units

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Reutrning units with updates:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Protoss

Zealots - new charge ability that let him quickly close range on enemies.

Terran

Zerg
Zerglings - can mutate into suicidal bomb things thar roll across the ground - very powerful explosions.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
New features:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range.

Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Other things worth noting:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SC2 looks, at least visually, strikingly similar to SC1 - both in unit and map designs.

**As seen in the above screenshot, the 100 unit max is no longer in effect**

**The UI is near identical**


**not taken from IGN; pointed out by me or the credited others


It's official; If it survives indefinite delays until then there is a 100% chance I'm getting this game when it comes out.

That was pretty obvious... a few designers already confirmed that before they announce it.
