I don't fully understand the build orders. What do the numbers mean that are by each step?

Since the protoss and Zerg campaigns isn't in the StarCraft 2 game, will they be sold separately at the same price as people paid for StarCraft 2 ?

@FreeByrd: The Zerg and Protoss campaigns are going to run at about $40 each at first. Both of them will include a campaign and lots of extra multiplayer stuff. When the trilogy is complete, it's likely all three will be sold in a Battle-Chest format for around the same price Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is now.

You won't need Heart of the Swarm and/or Legacy of the Void to continue playing multiplayer. Owning those two campaign add-ons will likely be like Brood War for Starcraft 1 and just add new units/buildings to each race as they come out.

Each game of the trilogy can function as a stand-alone game. It's not like World of Warcraft where you need Burning Crusade to play Wrath of the Lich King.

@Korolev: I definetely disagree that you have to buy the campaigns seperately. I know that it is a way for Blizzard to make more money, but they should be making enough already. I hope they at least just make one expansion for both of them put together.

@kAoS: Well really it just means more content for us... the original campaigns were 10 missions each, for a total of 30 missions per purchase and 60 total. Now, we get 30 missions per purchase but 90 missions total since there will be two expansions. We win out as fans, with a better campaign for each race and more single player content.

Thanks Zarhym, I've followed the forums everyday this past week, and I believe you captured every interesting, useful, and helpful subject that's come up. I applaud you for including the AT vs. RT as well, as it's a slightly controversial subject ATM. :)

Well, all I have to say is, so far, BroodWar has Sc2 beat by a long shot. Thinking back to the units in BroodWar makes the current units look like crap. Honestly.

unforunately only one unit from the terrans is not in starcraft 2. The Valkyrie :*(.
Protoss. Do not have corsairs, reavers, the arbiter, dragoons, dark archon -.-, and one more i forget it.
Zerg: I miss the defiler, the infested command centers, scourges, lurkers, and one more.
I really wish blizzard you can at least bring back the orginial units. i miss them from world edit :*(

@StormWarrior: Valkyrie wasn't that great a unit in the first place. Still, I'll admit I'd like the option during the campaign. Infested terrans still exist, they're just not as dangerous as they used to be by a long shot. I assume most of the rest will be in the campaigns of their races, but the Dragoons..may they rest in peace. They went out of service not too long after Aiur was overrun, and unless they're going to have a flashback mission of the fighting on Aiur, we're probably not going to see them even in the Protoss campaign. May they rest in peace. Immortals and Stalkers just aren't the same..

@StormWarrior: The 'Viking' IS the 'Valkyrie' from BW man..
They are both the Terran anti-air unit, attack using missiles, and can only attack air units only in their natural form.

They removed Goliath's from the game, instead giving their chaingun ground attack to the Viking's "Assault Mode", and their ground-to-air missiles to the Thor.

"In the Works" section sounds pretty awesome. It would be taking community/blizzard interaction to a whole new level. Obviously you can't please everybody but it would be cool to see Blizzard present an idea and get feedback even if it isn't 100% going to be developed.

It would be leaning towards "wouldn't it be cool if..." Instant feedback.

It'd be kinda cool to see what features Blizzard is considering implementing to future builds of SC2/Battle.net. We could give you feedback too. Maybe do a "In the Works" section?

So where are chat channels? I love how you guys try to be for the community, be about the community. Yet it's a pain FOR the community to try getting people to play certain games in the custom map section of battle.net ALSO did you see that lag at IEM nice one bnet 2.0 doesn't need lan at all :)...
