For anyone who doesn\'t know, Havas Interactive is the parent company of Blizzard Entertainment. Makers or such great games as Warcraft 1, 2, Diablo 1, 2, and StarCraft.

Maybe SC2 is closer than we think! :cool:

Bad taste? Because of hating boring ass PC crap?

I liked those Blizzard games! (well, diablo and starcraft, anways..)..

diablo was cool becuase all you have to do is click, click, click..and things would die all over your screen :D

starcraft wasn\'t the best game ever, but the multiplayer MADE that game.
once you got online, you could screw around with newbies, make fun of ladder players...starcraft online was more humorous and "fun" than serious gameplay :D

(  :o  ...This guy is opening up his mouth to suck my balls...any person who takes video games seriously can be next..)

Maybe they are just hedging their bets in case they do decide to make another one. Companies do it all they time. Its better to register a website for a game that you might make than let some fan squat on the address and try to charge you.

PEACE AND LOVE

They probably also don\'t want some other jerk making a website there, and then having to fight for it if they ever do an SC2.  We all know they will, the game was a total hit (and they loved the universe besides).

Well, yeah. I didn\'t really mean I expect to see it anytime soon. Maybe sometime in 2002. Blizzard probably just wanted to play it safe and register the domain name before some fan got a hold of it.

I\'m not sure whether that was a pro or anti-blizzard statement. To each his own, but Blizzard is a top-notch company in my books.

Anyhow, it\'s good to know SC2 is a possibility.. not surprising though. :)

you\'re missing the point--there was no "bad" part. story was good. replayability was good. it was fun killing things.

MAN, was that cool....killing things. ( :p )

Warcraft 2 and Starcraft were great.  Online strategies were made all the cooler with another phone line to talk to the guy on your team.  Me and my buddy would kick the hell out of some people.
