Yea, I have some concerns whether my current rig will support Starcraft II as well however Blizzard has been pretty good with their games when it comes to the recommended system requirements. :)

You're right, but my rig is like 3 years, going on 4th....

Also, it's a laptop, so not very easy to upgrade =/

I love it though, and don't really want to part from it!

At least I won't have to worry so much. After my rig blew up in January, I finally replaced my gaming machine two months ago. A wonderful machine she is, I seriously doubt they'll be pushing out something that makes a Q9450 whimper :P I do expect a larghe variety of CPUs to work, Core 2 Duos/Athlon X2s/most Athlon 64s. Wouldn't be out of the question to expect some of the very top end of old families like the Pentium 4 or Athlon XP series to be able to crawl into the game.

Meh, at first sight i had hoped to see some new "blue" info on multithreading. I blame myself for not reading the description. anyway, whatever the reason i clicked, it was a good read...

Ill be getting a new pc around christmas, and now i know where to ask for advice ;]

I wouldn't say it wasn't related to Starcraft II. It was designed to be an introduction to the topic rather than an elaborate announcement of some dashing discovery or benchtesting results. It was also to answer several questions I had been recieving about Starcraft's relation to PC gaming buzz words, this perticular article was more abstract that the previous one on Havok. Blizzard themselves don't fancy speaking much on this feature sadly, I do what I can and nothing more. I dare not go into fiction and rumours, just settle directions and ideas of motions to help people prepare themselves. If it helps people explore the issue and be made aware of certain issues, that is ok. My apologies for your disatisfaction.

Now, I wouldn't ever take that as a reason why it would not use multithreading in the game engine. On the other hand, previously mentioned information helps to show a much clearer picture on why or how Blizzard will do with it.

It might be unlikely, but they might be looking ahead and hoping to have SC2 at the level SC1 is today. Using this type of processing will surely help, and also patch in higher graphics settings without much fuzz later on.

Remember, last SC patch was just a few months ago!

I'd like to think Blizzard has discussed the idea of multithreading when developing these games, but their commitment to a low recommended computer specs might make it unwise at this stage.

Still, in this day and age, how many (gaming) computers do you think don't have at least a dual core processor? This is speaking purely of the dedicated gamers, and not the casual population that Blizzard might be targeting.

*wasn't

What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.

Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣

Nah that's long since dead and gone it's only good is a leaked Dev build

just curious what version? There are some that you can pre-load, but they wont work until their release date later this month.

It’s not out yet man unless you’re talking about MW3.

On xbox there is the last gen/current gen versions pc though you could also get a xbox version.

When that new forza first came out for one day they had the xbox version on the pc store i was like ? what it was odd.

On xbox you can easily download the one version of a game instead of the series version so you run into issues on your series console.

I'm certain it is going to be the Campaign Collection version.
