Question..

I've never played any of the starcraft games, but i plan on getting SC2.

Does starcraft have a hero system that is like or in any way similar to WC3? I was looking through the SC2 feature page and saw that Jim Raynor was classified as a hero.

Thanks.

no...

*sigh* another one of these...

CAPS LOCK ON SO MAYBE EVERYBODY WILL SEE THIS!

BLIZZARD WILL NOT HAVE HEROES IN THE NORMAL LADDER GAMES. THEY WILL HOWEVER HAVE A HERO SYSTEM FOR USE BY CUSTOM MAPS THAT WORKS VERY SIMILAR TO WARCRAFT 3. caps off

NO MATTER HOW MANY ALL CAPS POSTS OR MADE THERE WILL STILL BE UNINFORMED IDIOTS. SOORY MY FRIEND, BUT YOUR (AND MY) EFFORTS ARE MADE IN VAIN. I LOVE ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME.

All caps. All the time.

Blizzard actually announced that they do not support heroes in the editor. And to make sure that nobody will ever make a hero type unit, they've closed Battle.net and every game will now be under strict control by Blizzard.

Yes there will be heroes. Every bloody Reaper is a hero. And those lings..

I almost thought you were serious till I read the last line.

yes there will be heroes in sc2 editor but i think that they will be like in sc (just stronger normal units who dont earn any experience)

GAH O.o

Gah O.0

GAH?!?!!?!

First. What's the *%&*%*&* difference between a normal unit and a ''hero'' if they're basicly the same type?

YES
YES
YES
YEEEES.

Heroes will be in the editor. Yes those you add 1000 agility on hero wars on. Those will be there.

YES there will be items.
Yes there will be custom abilitys.

Don't post things that already been said like 50 times!

You mix facts with ''I think''? Seriously, get your facts right before you even post.

Chat with Devs: One of the most popular questions we get when it comes to creating UMS (User Map Settings) games or mods is: Will there be a DotA for StarCraft II? For those who are not familiar, DotA (Defense of the Ancients), is a popular UMS game created for Warcraft III. StarCraft compared to Warcraft III, does not focus on heroes as much, and heroes or units do not have the same experience gaining mechanic as Warcraft III, making it difficult to imagine how a game like DotA could be reproduced for StarCraft. Nonetheless, after chatting it up with our devs, we found out the ability to allow heroes and units to gain experience is built into the Map Editor, though it will not likely be in single player or standard multiplayer. In addition, those units can also be toggled to have the ability to carry an inventory, which is also a characteristic needed in UMS maps such as DotA. With those two additions, we can rest assured that our clever community modders can handle the rest in creating some awesome custom games.

StarCraft II General Discussion -

Two things I'd like to add:
1) Don't ask questions before looking for the answer yourself
2) Don't answer questions if you can't do it non-aggressively
and that would be it

With no default items, I'm sure that it will be better for all games.

of course, i hope that items will not exist in SC2 because that makes it another wc3 game. not keeping the concept of sc..

To be honest, I feel SC should just be an upgrade of Wc3. Im not going to go back to war craft just to use items. They should port all of Wc3's features, and to hell with keeping the concept of SC. As long as they just keep it in the editor like the hero feature whats so bad about it ? It can only enhance user created gameplay.

But whatever, I think people just want reasons to still play Wc3, but the fact is that SC2 preety much dominates Wc3 now.

What I mean is allow items but have no or very very few default items. This forces people to make customs...

Massive_Attack, If you want that then this game is not for you.

you just wait for wc4...
