How Long Will Starcraft 2 Take?

How long do you think starcraft 2 will take to be released. consider what is on their website and the fact they are releasing a gameplay trailer tommorow. while no official release date has been release, we can still speculate ;)

before you post watch this trailer

Considering what they have 6 months or less they seem to have a bunch of terrain.They have the game engine.Plenty of units there just being lazy and not showing them all.If you look at screenshots you cna see more units,plus trailers.

yeh i think the gameplay trailer will definately show more about the game, perhaps i should have made this thread tommorow :P

Nah todays fine you just gotta put in the fact that htye have the game engine many units the envirement(terrain which i think is awesome).And many more new that has already been made.

As for the zerg and terran sections i think they will be added tommorrow or soon because ive seen plenty terran uints in screenshots and Zerg ive seen a few of that as well.

I tryed talking about it in battle.net at Starcraft Brood War nobody seems to want to talk about it.

2 years, or I hope never!!!

What why say that its gonna rock.I mean your avatar is a marine for gods sake!

Personally i can't wait to start modding it.(course i gotta finish campaign).

I know my avatar is a marine, but I forgot to change the teamcolour to Grey as in the God from Angel Arena, I hate stracraft personally.

Hopefully more than 2 years, Starcraft II has a HUGE legacy to live up to, and succeed, 2 years might be enough to do that. If they released it in 6 months, the balance would be out of wack, there would be alot of bugs, and alot of people will be pissed at Blizzard, because that's what Starcraft is known for: The Balance.

Uh they can balance it out by 6 months you act like it takes forever to change some stats on some units.Change attack speed hit points........ect.ect and your good they have msot of the stuff beyond two years is too much.Oh and kaitech if you hate Starcraft don't post anymore or even vote god this is for people who want to see it made.

yeh thats unless theyve been making it secretly for 6 years now

It's already been developed for 4 years, and is multiplayer playable.

I'm hoping 6 months, but I think the main problem for them will be the campaign

For 4 years i think they can balance it out soon so maybe more then 6 months but i still think they can work it out.Right now they seem to have a lot im just considering the stuff we currently know by tommorrow we will know more.Oh you just posted have to edit.

I agree the campaign will be hard but they seem to have heroes down a little so Im sticking to my 6 month theory.Oh and may i suggest some of you go to starcraft2.com to see some of it before posting so you cna make a more accurate guess.

Ah true, but you don't want a rushed released.

Remember that in game development that once false click could ruin the entire thing.

well i think they might have it balanced already, does anyone know how the industry works? because my guess is they get the engine down first, then the units, objects and some test terrain, then the balancing of these units, then the multiplayer engine at the same time as the campaign. i would guess the units and balancing would be one of the first things, i mean they would make a campaign with a load of random units, that would be totally pointless.....

Yes the engine is one of the most important things then the terrain and so on and so forth.Has any of you checked the terrain it looks absolutly beatiful compared to Warcraft 3.Plus it seems they have a lot of it done so it can't take too long.
