It's a totally different looking game dude, but it's a blizzard game, so the similarities will be there.

So the main difference is just that it uses the WC3 engine and has like 5 new units?

1. It has more than 5 new units, and most of the old units have been retooled.

2. SCII is using a new engine created just for this game.

3. Yes, more powerful than scmdraft 2.

4. It's a new damn game, why the hell would you want it to be the same as the first? They might as well just release another expansion pack if that's the case.

5. It's not out yet, you can't judge the game based on a couple of screen shots. Blizzard has yet to fail its expectant players, and I doubt they'll fail them this time either.

1. SC2 Will be awesome and more strategy will be involved with the new units but then again there will also be more to get used to with that.
2. Wow.. Uh it actually does look like Warcraft O.o.. It's like Warcraft 3 only with better quality O.o..
3.

Didn't the zerg ALWAYS look ugly? Wtf isn't ugly about something spitting out ****ing acid at you? Or something going from a small little drone and then mutating into this big ugly looking building while it's mutating and then becoming almost as ugly once it's completed mutating.. If they made Zerg uglier then they did a good job on zerg.. Mutant Aliens are supposed to be ugly.. Take Halo for example.. They didn't make the mutated aliens (Flood) look like cuddly little bunnies did they? No they made them ****ing ugly as hell and did a great job on the most annoying enemy in Halo :P lol

The reason why graphics looks like WC III IS BECAUSE SC II USES THE WC III ENGINE..... other than that, I wish they inserted the engine from Grand Theft Auto into SC II, everything will look much more realistic and plus they should improve the graphics so it looks more "lean and sharp" not "fat like your momma during her pregnancy years"

Any comments?

Hold on, you want StarCraft II to go from a top-down RTS game to a third-person-shooter RTS game?
