I caught this , this morning. Already have the Marine wallpaper set up on my pc. Can hardly wait, and did you see the Protoss animations on the character. Sweet man.

Nice find, more than likely they were waiting for DX10 to come out.  My guess is that this will be a Vista only game.

Will the game run natively on Windows Vista?

    StarCraft II will be fully compatible with Windows Vista, as well as XP. We'll have more details on system requirements closer to release.

RTS games suck sh*t. They ALL play the same. Wrost of them all are the W40K RTS games. I've played/watched most of the good ones since C&C... for a bit then get bored sick. I don't understand how they hook you poor saps and get you to waste your money on these sad sick excuses for drink coasters.

Well that is good to see, I still think they waited for DX10 but it's good that SC2 will be backwards compatable with WinXP.  I'm not much of a RTS gamer but it might be worth picking up... after reading a bunch of reviews.

SC was the only RTS I can remember actually finishing.  Yeah, it played pretty much the same as all the others...though Empires at War had some different touches amidst the overall sameness...but I actually dug the story...
"Dialogue from a play, Hamlet to Horatio: 'There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' Dialogue from a play written long before men took to the sky. There are more things in heaven and earth, and in the sky, than perhaps can be dreamt of. And somewhere in between heaven, the sky, the earth, lies the Twilight Zone."

LOL, No offence to any Korean posters we might have here.
