I'm sure this be much talk about SC2 on here... might not have been but, I'd like to discuss it now -.-
Now, I don't know how many of the people on here actually got the SC Manuels, cause you had to get SC early to get the Manuels with the history and all the other stuff, but... I do believe that the Xel'Naga wasn't completely wipt out accordin' to it.. I mean I know the Zerg and Toss pretty much raped them both times 'round, but I'm sure Blizzard will implant them into SC2...
Hybrids - ... Much talked about, but havin' 'Hybrids' as a seperate race doesn't make a whole hell lot of a sense.. Considerin' it would be a Zerg strain... Which would mean it would be under control of the Psionic Supreme [OverMind/Kerrigan/Etc].. Of course my personall belief is that Fenix should be resurected into a Ghost army of the Xel'Naga and Zeratul should fu#$en die. So tired of people sayin' Zeratul PWNZ FENIX LOLOL.. so ridiculous... Anyways..
Toss - What is to become of the beloved Protoss.. I mean at the end of it all they were kinda.. well... you know...
Zerg - ......... =pulls out pistol=
Terran - Basic.
Or, Blizzard MIGHT jus do what they did with WC/WC2 and jus' remake all the races and make it a lot better. Which I would rather have new races like the possiblity of the Xel'Naga...
Anyways.
Peace~
SC2 is supposivly suppose to be made in like 2007. ANy talk of SC2 coming out sooner then that, they are refering to SC: Ghost
Yeah, SC2 will be a while. Besides, Sc ghost is gonna b good

I'm not worried about the release date, I jus' want some actual details of the game -.-
As for Sc:Ghost ... not sure if I'll get that.. though I know I will because... its SC and I want to see the "new zerg units" plus I want to see a zergling up close

Zerglings pwnz j00
I personally am not looking forward to Starcraft Ghost. I'm not a big fan of third person shooters with the exception of Metal Gear Solid series. I will play it anyways because isn't it like a bridge between Starcraft and Starcraft 2?
Supposively, yes.. I think so anyways. I'm not lookin' forward to it either -.-
I'm assuming "Nova" isn't that the Ghost's name? Will be starring in SC2, and there'll be two different terran campaigns? Considering Jim wants revenge for Fenix's Death.. [tear]
Anyways, don't know.
Isn't BroodWar the bridge between Starcraft and Starcraft II?
....
SCG Is supposed to expand that horizon...
....
Might not I don't know if you have somethin that says otherwise post it, please

yes, but its like the big dig sort of....it well....uhh...nope, nothing like it, starcraft ghost just EXTENDS the bridge
Well,
Some people might be a little more intelligent then me, but for those of you who have the manuel of StarCraft, which I understand is no longer being sold with the game [sorry late purchasers of the game :\ ] Anyways back to the topic, for those of you who have the manuel, and are wondering if the Xel'Naga are comin' back, there is a possible chance of that, because in the Protoss section of the book it says
QUOTE
The Xel'Naga and the First Born : Nothing is known of the origin of the Xel'Naga, save that they were not native to the galaxy over which they held sway.
Which suggests, that perhaps the Xel'Naga thrive else where, and if there is a sequel to StarCraft: Brood War, then hopefully [fingers crossed] the Xel'Naga will return, possible to get vengence on their former creations? Or perhaps they'll come looking for their lost brethern? Well, don't know jus' more stuff to throw into the mix.
Peace~
Of course the Xel'Naga will make it's return. The burning legion and xel'naga are both the same kind of species...
See, what's going to happen in the storyline is that the zerg hybrids and normal zerg will get into this huge battle, and the xel'naga will come from behind and totally wipe out the zergs. Then, the hybrid and xel'naga will join forces against the terran and protoss. Terran and protoss will back them into a corner and xel'naga will use their time distortion ability to bring all four races into the time where their brother's exist (the burning legion). That's the end of Starcraft 2. The story continues in the next sequel where things will get really messed up when it's Terran, Toss, Human, Elves vs Xel'naga, Hybrids, Orcs, Undead. Omg, the choas. The new game will merge the two names and be called "StarWars." It'll end the storyline for both starcraft and warcraft.
I'ma laugh if that's what they do!
ghost is just like Splinter cell with a sc theme it lookes so cool/gay
QUOTE(The StarCraft Manual @ Sometime in '98)
With its need to consume driving its minions into a listful frenzy, the Overmind launched the now space-faring Zerg swarms at the unsuspecting Xel'Naga. The ancient race did what they could to stem the tide of the ever-advancing Zerg onslaught, but in the end their efforts were in vain. Wave after wave of Zerg swarms hammered the reinforced hulls of the Xel'Naga's ships with no signs of abatement. Within only a few hours the Zerg overran the defenses of their creators and laid waste to the Xel'Naga fleet.
As the greater whole of the Xel'Naga race was consumed by the raging, genetic whirlwind of the Zerg, the Overmind gained the knowledge and insights of its masters.
Now, assuming the whole of the Xel'Naga race was there during the assault, I believe that some may have survived as suggested by "As the greater whole of the Xel'Naga race was consumed". This gives the assumptions that a smaller part of the Xel'Naga race either survived the attack and escaped, or was not present at the time of the attack. Either way I believe that the Xel'Naga will make some sort of cameo in future StarCraft sequels. What role they will take is still a complete mystery.
I believe,
They'll come back to exterminate the Zerg? Possibly even the Protoss, unless they believe they the Protoss turned out for the better, and assumin' they did come back the Protoss would hail them all, and worship them.

Note:they are just rumors! and i dont take all credit for this i found this on the site give the site more credit!
That doesn't look very credible at all. Firstly, how would this site know what the new units of SC2 would be when a SC2 probably isn't even in production. Secondly, it's missing the new units that Ghost introduces.
to tell you the truth, I prefer that SC2 would never be released.
why?
look at it that way:
1. when WC2 came out, how many people played it?
[insert big number]
when WC3 came out, how many people kept playing WC2?
erm... *cought*noone*cought*
2. Emperor: Battle for dune have better gameplay, better graphic, better storyline, more movies, and more multiplayers options than SC.
what does SC have the EBD doesn't have?
two things, one - map editor, two - community.
and why is community important?
because rich get richer and poor get poorer.
if a game have a community, the community will keep growing.
if the game doesn't, it'll also won't have any.
(1+2=)3. what will happen, when SC2 will come out, is that first everybody will stop playing SC, and SC2 will become a game with small community that will keep getting smaller untill it dissapear.
a year after SC2 will be released, blizzard will have to think of a new game world, since one of them will be gone.
But then wouldn't every new game have no community and therefore wouldn't grow? When StarCraft first came out, I doubt its community suddenly appeared like that. No, it slowly grew over time. Most of the SC community will move over and become a SC2 community. People who used to play SC will come back and play SC2. In a way, SC2 will have an advantage as it's predecessor has already established a community.
Emperor flopped because it had a small community, yes, but that was because it wasn't a really good game. It was also from a company that has lost its credibility over time. I didn't like Emperor that much so I prefer to play SC. Also, I'd like to say that SC has a better storyline that Emperor.
StarCraft, has been on for far too long, and not everyone has an awesome rig to handle WarCraft Three, StarCraft Two.. Namely me, and by awesome I mean, superior by 4x of whay my horrifyingly old comp can do...
And,
WarCraft 2, would have slowly perished anyways.. If they make a StarCraft 2, they'll get what they want.. Sales, I know I'll buy it, even if I cna't play it... I got WarCraft 3, not knowing that my comp sucked, [didn't check requirements like a newbie... -.-] .
Furthermore,
StarCraft 2 would be like Halo 2, jus' not nearly as huge. It'd be like a 1/10 of the anticapation. Personally, I think people would still play StarCraft, and Brood War, I still play both.. Currently, I am rebeating the First Campaign, mainly because I like StarCraft's orignal campaign better then Brood War.
If StarCraft 2 was released, it'd grow... fast I believe, and StarCraft would still have its community...
P.S. ~ StarCraft loyalists, will go back to it, jus' like any WarCraft loyalist should return to WarCraft 2, yes I own WarCraft I, II, and III. However, WarCraft 2 is no longer in my possession.
I don't know about all of you guys, but SC2 would be AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope they put lots of new stuff in for the campaign editor =), looks like we will all just be waiting...and hoping
