Nor has beta testing even begun. But the little we do know about Starcraft 2 have moved some people to begin complaining about class imbalances already. So really, that’s the point? There’s already enough info to whet the appetite. FYI, Gamestop is currently taking pre-orders (as of July 7). When pressed, the salespeople say they have an “October date” on the computer. Which means it would release before Wrath of the Lich King and that’s just impossible. Nice one, Blizzard! They are really tricky over there at Irvine, CA. Or Paris, France (home to Vivendi), whatever. Let’s hope it’s not too much longer.

And since I’m such a fanboy fan of all things Starcraft, and one of my “news” filters being “Starcraft”, I came across this article called the “Top 5 needed nerfs for Starcraft 2“. Check out #1, the Battlecruiser. Although I played Random, I was always partial to Terran; a well executed tank push being the wall-of-death that it is. So you know I’m really ecstatic about the battlecruiser making a return in the sequel.

The author notes that 8 battlecruisers can clear the map, and for that reason calls them “overpowered”. But because of the unit price and minerals required, I am sure by the time you have such an advanced air fleet, your opponent (if you’re evenly matched) will have an army equal in pwnage. That’s if your base wasn’t already ravaged by the terrifyingly awesome Colossus (#4), the new Protoss ground unit that can walk up and down different levels of terrain (yikes!).

Until we get more news, I’ll be combing the rumor mills, and reporting back to you. If someone has an inside tip, send me a line! Much appreciated.
