    it’s funny when the minimum requirements for a P4 motherboard needs a PCIe video card… diba wala pang PCIe slots sa P4 boards dati? hehe

    buhay nanaman ang Starcraft! yes!

    Pretty sane requirements except for the 12GB HDD requirement. Hard disk storage is cheap but those are pretty steep multimedia file requirements for a single game.

    ciao!

    too bad kailangan mo nang matinding upgrade specs para gawing Gaming PC uli yan, pero baka mabagot ka sa kakalaro, pero sana i-time management ang paglalaro mo, sana i-beta testing din yan sa netbooks

    Woot! My PC is well equipped for SC2. Can’t wait to get the box set. This game would be well worth the money spent.

  9. lawrence says:

    sana same specs requirement for diablo II!!

    anyway anyone knows if this would run on nvidia 8200m? sorry for the lame question.. hehe

    Don’t worry about the steep HDD space requirement, its a compensation for the low gpu requirement. Newer games with low system requirements usually needs large hdd space which is good imo for moderate gamers. And these are great games too.

    I believe what will come out will be a WinMac version, thus there will be only one package for both Win & Mac, just like the previous Starcraft and Warcraft I & II.

    Finally! hahaha! sana worth the wait..

    I boycott Starcraft II. Walang LAN multiplayer option! Kailangan mo mag-connect sa Battle.NET ng Blizzard para makapag-multiplayer.

    Bulok pa naman mga ISP dito sa atin sa ‘Pinas.

  14. Marg says:

    Tingnan n’yo o .. isa sa mga requirements .. kailangan ng broadband internet. Para sa multiplayer option yan.

    I think this requirement is dwarfed by the NBA2K10 system requirements.

    Meron na kayang PCI Express sa P4 Motherboard dati. PCIe since 2004 pa yan…

    I only have 256MB video card and 2.4Ghz CPU on vista. SC2 beta runs good, i just need a reliable cooling fan or it will shutdown after 5 mins of playing.

    @yuga

    I believe Data Blitz will be start giving copies to those who pre-ordered on July 27 as displayed on their posters. July 28 is for people who weren’t able to pre-order their copy. :)

    @Marg

    They removed LAN because to curb piracy. I’ve been playing the Starcraft 2 Beta where the server is located in the US. I have experienced minimal to no lag using a decent broadband connection (pldt 999). Some people are able to play the game even with a 384kbps connection.

    * The removed LAN to curb piracy…*

    grammar fail :P

    “I boycott blah blah blah”
    That’s alright.. one less whiner to deal with in B.net

    @ marg – maglaro ka na Lang ng travian, ragnarok O Kung ano pang jolog games sa lobo ng Mainit na Internet cafe. Halatang di mo maafford nag sc2.

    di na papatok ang star craft 2 sa mga kabataan ngaun… old skul pa rin ang dating… dami online games… at mas maganda pa rin dota… ^^

  24. W@r_Br@!n says:

    @desert_punk: I totally disagree. Research first before you make such claims.

  25. 12gb is insane, especially since this is just the Terran campaign. I’m guessing it’s 6-10gb for the campaign-specific files (since the ahem…beta was around 2gb) so we’re looking at around 30gb when the Zerg and Protoss campaigns roll around. Crazy.
