StarCraft 2 Battle Reports Provide a Taste of the Future

Looking forward to StarCraft II? Want to see how a multiplayer match might play out, while also gaining some insight into the design of the strategy sequel?

May I kindly direct you to the new StarCraft II Battle Report.

In the first edition of the series, associate game balancers Matt Cooper and David Kim face off in a lengthy 20-minute match, with commentary provided by StarCraft II lead designer David Browder and e-Sports member Robert Simpson.

It's not quite as exciting as a live Korean match, but if you close your eyes during the initial probe keep-away, you can almost hear the cheer squads and excited, incomprehensible yelling.

I was pretty meh about this game personally until I saw this video.

Like I respected it's potential to be a great game and all that, but just wasn't cool enough to make ME want to play. After watching that video and learning some of the basics of battle, I'm almost hooked. I had loads of fun beating SC1 with the cheats on, singleplayer, back in 1999. So this might make me buy this and even get into seriously....

Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Just bring the damn game out already. It's getting annoying seeing pictures, videos of a game that's been shown since May 2007. 1.5 years and still nothing... Blizzard is #2 on the worse release to launch of a video game.

Cool video. Very good commentary and lots of great action. Videos like this are so much more interesting than a bunch of screenshots, and I'm glad that high res versions of these get released.
