Starcraft Ghost

[cloudau]

Starcraft fans i have some great news, Starcraft Ghosts is not lost, Blizzard mearly shut down production of it temporarally while they evaluate the new game consoles abilities, yaay.

[CaptainKirk91]

Do we know what platforms it will be out on?

Xbox 360 would be most excellent.

[Chromos]

Meh, I'm not too excited for Ghost. The conversion from Starcraft to Ghost doesn't look nearly as good as the conversion from Warcraft to World.

[cloudau]

it will be out on 360 and maybe PS3

Bro you don't even play Starcraft so you wouldn't even know how the transition would be. I heard it's no longer about just being a ghost but also being different classes from the three races as well.

Toss for the win.

Oh this is great news. Starcraft Ghost looks incredible, especially the multiplayer.

Oh and I don't know what your talking about SC:Ghost looks to fit in to Starcraft personally... unlike WoW fitting into War 3, I don't care how they candy coat the lore, I still don't see the alliance that the Alliance and the Horde had breaking so quickly... whatever.

I can't wait to be a Bat and flame all the lings running at me.

Oh and Zolo, the single player is still about being Nova, but the multiplayer is about the different armies fighting FPS style... w00t.

Ah and one more thing, if this doesn't come out for PC I will personally go to Blizzard and strangle each and every one of the developers.

First of all, I'm ignoring any kind of new lore they have for WoW, because all they're doing is creating lore for changes that are purely developmental. I mean, the reason for making paladins and shaman available to both factions make sense from a development standpoint, but lore? Give me a break.

2nd - it was never an alliance between "The Horde" and "The Alliance." It was a cease-fire treaty between the horde under Thrall's command based in Orgrimmar, and the alliance forces under Jaina Proudmoore. That alliance was put to the test (and failed) when her father Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, attacked the horde nation of Durotar. Once Theramore was introduced into the alliance in the Eastern Kingdoms (the forces on Kalimdor thought that whole continent had been wiped clean up until that point) then Jaina couldn't keep up the ceace fire treaty, due to alliance politics.

Besides, the Humans and Orcs were always at each others throats anyway, even during the cease fire. The fact that the Alliance and Horde hate each other makes sense.

Addendum: Most of that lore was in Warcraft III: Frozen Throne.

[King of Asmar]

Yeah... I never got very far in Frozen Throne *cries*

dude where did you get this shit from, first of all it was an alliance between, the orcs, humans (high elves, Dwarves, Gnomes?) and night elves.
second the only reason the hordes fighting is because Blizz (no offence to their game designing skills) decided hey wait a minute lets make Theramore enemies with Thrall which doesnt make anysense because Thrall and Jaina were friends, or because the undead bitch Sylvanas doesnt like the humans or atleast any that are allies with the alliance.

[The Author]

Allow me to rebuttal.

*aherm*

I haven't deleted that above post for sheer stupidity or edited it for grammar in any way because I feel the need to own you in the face right now. That, and this sickness is still pissing me off, so I'm already in a bad mood.

I'll tell you where I got this "shit" from. I got it from playing Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and the bonus orc campaign from Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. Since it really was it's own seperate story, and didn't involve the other stuff that was focusing on Illidan, Arthas, and the conflict in the Eastern Kingdoms, the latter was considered a "bonus campaign". The other place that I get lore from is www.wikipedia.org and for even more specific info, www.wowwiki.com/Main_Page

Also, end your questions with a questionmark, noob.

You are thinking of The Battle of Mt. Hyjal. That was an alliance to defeat the burning legion. It wasn't a political alliance like the "pact" between Thrall and Jaina, it was an alliance simply to save the world. And when The Last Guardian tells you in so many words "unite or die" you're going to do it.

Listen to Medivh bitchslap the alliance, horde, and night elves into uniting:

My god... my eyes burn from the hideous writing! Regardless.

Let's take this into account. To make World of Warcraft what it is, you needed to have two factions: The Alliance and The Horde. Now, in order to do that, you need to have Alliance towns and Horde towns. With me so far? Good. It was made clear that, even though Thrall and Jaina were allies during the Battle of Mt. Hyjal, and there was a "pact" between the two of them, it didn't mean that the forces of the Horde and the Alliance liked each other. Watch the cutscenes in the first Night Elf mission, or any of the cutscenes in the "founding of Durotar" bonus mission in Frozen Throne. Or, listen to these sound files, so you can hear them yourself:

From the Night Elf Campaign:

From the Founding of Durotar campaign in Frozen Throne:

And finally, to counter why The Horde has allowed the forsaken under the Banshee Queen Sylvanas to join it's ranks, I point you to this: www.wowwiki.com/Forsaken#Additional_Background

You, sir, have just officially been
OWNED

[CaptainKirk91]

*aherm*

OWNED! FUCKING OWNED! DID YOU SEE THAT?

*Bows down to the author's pwnz0ring skills*

[he's got a +20 gauntlet of n00b smiting, ya know ]

[Chromos]

*bows down to Duo*
Sensei, please teach me the art of true and total noob-owning! Make me your apprentice!
For some reason, noobs don't listen to me even when I own them. It saddens me.
Please teach me what to do differently!!!
*erhem*
Okay, to get back onto topic, I did not know about the multiplayer stuff they added in. I'm startin to get a little bit more excited about Ghost.
HOWEVER
Getting WoW back first is and shall be my first priority.
And so, I once again ask this unanswered question at the risk of somehow missing the answer somewhere else and having it pointed out to me owningly. What server are you on, Duo?

[Spark]

...do I smell smoke?

'cause I swear I smell something burning.

[King of Asmar]

@ Chromos: Yeah man, they've had a sweet multiplayer planned for awhile, my friend, you need to do better research.

@duo: Hey mate, thanks for the explination... I guess WoW does work... still probably not going to get back into it any time soon. Oh and those sound clips are most awesome.
