XGhozt 410 Posted May 19, 2007 I don't know if this was ever mentioned anywhere but here's something thats been on my mind since the announcement... What ever happened to the "Hybrid" Campaign? If you're unfamiliar of it, its a campaign of the Starcraft series where Duran controls a Scientific Research Facility in a coloney to perform experiments on the Protoss and Zerg genes. He was successful in developing a new breed of genetically mutated killing machines known only as Hybrids. I made an assumption long ago that Starcraft 2 would continue on from there and allow the "Hybrid" breed to become a new Species in the Starcraft Campaigns. Yet, the only major difference I noticed judging from the images I've seen is the technological advancement of the Protoss military. Seems as though Blizzard put most of their focus on Protoss Dominance. The Queen of Blades, surely, will fall. Jim Raynor's fate, however, is questionable. What do you think? I think its too early to tell. They have yet to show off everything. Starcraft2.com will have more information about the other races, and they said that not everything is final yet.

XGhozt 410 Posted May 19, 2007 The main part I'm looking forward to is the ability to select more than 12 units and the ability to use the level as a dynamic strategic playground. Share this post Link to post

ViperSRT3g 224 Posted May 19, 2007 Well like I said before, I think that they might be holding back on a bomb shell for most, I don't think there will only be the hybrid race we were looking forward to. I think that there actually might be one or two more extra races. And Blizzard employees also remarked saying that they would be happy to finally see a Starcraft Sequel by a decade after the release of Starcraft. Share this post Link to post
HG-Bounder-X 121 Posted May 20, 2007 According to Starcraft2.com, they currently have no plans of making any races other than the primary three. StarCraft II is the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game, and the sequel to the hit original, StarCraft. The game will include three completely distinct and balanced races, the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg, which have been overhauled and re-imagined with a number of new units for each, as well as new tricks for some of the classic units that are returning. =\ Share this post Link to post
ViperSRT3g 224 Posted May 20, 2007 That is all that they want you to know ATM.... I knew someone would bring that up... Share this post Link to post
Dr.Winkey 57 Posted May 20, 2007 If that is all that they are doing then I will be just fine. Star Craft is a classic and if the balance of power was off then (in my opinion) the game would become lame. I am actually going to put together a new computer for the game play with SC2! I love making new computers, it makes me happy. :P Share this post Link to post
