StarCraft 2 Technical Aspects

Will Battle.net be overhauled? Will there be new features?

There will be some exciting new changes and features to Battle.net that will help us ensure that StarCraft II will be the ultimate competitive online real-time strategy game. Some of the areas we're looking into include features that support online tournaments, eSports, and enhanced communication between players. We're not quite ready to go into further detail about Battle.net at this time, but we look forward to doing so in the future.

Will we still be able to play the original StarCraft on Battle.net after StarCraft II is released?

Yes, you will.

What steps are being taken to prevent cheating in multiplayer games?

We don't want to tip our hand to the people who may try to cheat on Battle.net, so we can't go into too much detail, but rest assured that security is one of our top priorities as we redesign and overhaul Battle.net, and we will take every precaution to ensure fairness in our online games. We've taken an aggressive stance against cheating in all of our games, and our players have overwhelmingly supported us in that, so we don't have any intention to make any changes in that regard.

Will there be a closed or open beta? How about a trial or demo version?

StarCraft II will have a beta test period in the future. However, it's still too early to determine the exact nature and timing of the beta. We also haven't decided yet whether there will be any trial or demo versions, but we'll be happy to share the news once final decisions have been made.

What are the system requirements for StarCraft II?

We'll have more details on specific system requirements closer to the release date.

Will StarCraft II include a map editor?

Yes, it will. We'll have more details on the features of the StarCraft II map editor at a later date.

Will there be a console version of StarCraft II?

StarCraft II is being developed for Windows and Mac. We have no current plans to bring the game to any console platform.

Starcraft 2 Guide to Zerg Micro, Macro, and Build Orders

Author : Nicholas Hey, guys. Now, when I wrote the Zerg Scouting Compendium, the main reason was that I had been seeing a lot of posts about scouting, Protoss and Terran build orders, different Protoss and Terran builds, that sort of thing. So, I wrote a guide to cover that, and I would hope that helped quell some of the confusion surrounding those topics. Now, I've been seeing a lot of posts about Queen macro, base macro in general, our standard build orders, and the like, so I'll write another guide-type post to try and address those issues. Again, this will mostly be information from other threads on this forum, combined into one post for convenience. The veterans should note that this will mostly be information for newer players, but it might be worth a read. You could always learn a thing or two.

Starcraft 2 Protoss Build Order and Strategy Guide

Author : Sirix Updates - Added 3 Gate Robo in with the Quick Robotech build, as well as an alternate strategy of quicker gateways or quicker Robo depending on your opponent. Added the 'scouting your enemy' section. Changed a few words to keep under the 5000 char limit. Below, I'll list a variety of opening builds, their builds orders, and a sentence or two of detail about the builds strengths and weaknesses. I'll try to follow it up with some 'what to watch for' in the opening builds of your opponents, so you can pick a viable tech tree to counter. (Build Order is listed by supply, the number on the left being at what supply you should start building that structure/unit)

Starcraft 2 M3 Plugins for 3ds Max

Starcraft 2 Model (.M3) Plugins for 3ds Max is a Starcraft 2 Model plugins designed for 3ds Max 2010. Should work with 3ds Max 6 and above. The importer and exporter will now be bundled together along with Starcraft 2 object definitions for using custom objects (materials, maps, UI, etc) within 3ds Max. I've chosen to distribute them together so that the object file definitions are in sync with each script.
