Battle.net for Starcraft 2

Perhaps - I was thinking along the lines of innovative thirdparty matchmaking services for, say, a national league, a single regional tournament or something much crazier. It thought it would add to the professionalism of such initiatives if they could be in charge of the entire process from setting up the game to reading its outcome directly from Battle.net.

 

I doubt Blizzard would allow for any third party systems to be used for Battle.net.

 

Everything has a price

 

And Blizzard is making plenty of money and part of that is from Bnet being such a good service that people want to play their games online. Plus there are ads on bnet that aren't all blizzard ads and those rake in income. If people didn't have to use bnet, the ad space on bnet would not be worth as much.

 

... we won't close the Battle.net thread. we've talked about this many times. clans and such in it...

 

I don't want to close the bnet threat at all. I just figured this was something that deserved it's own thread for discussion. There are plenty of ideas that having clans/guilds support open up to. I like a lot of these ideas people are having for it.

 

Levels for the clan could be
General, Captain, Private, Recruit
Overmind, Cerebrate, Hydralisk, Larva
Conclave, Praetor, Executor, Templar

 

it shouldn't change for each race. you can't do that. make a zerg clan... wait! INGENIOUS IDEA!

 

more of an aesthetic thing rather than function. Leader's choice or whatever.

 

I would like an option to be able to choose the look of the commendations you give your members; ala medals and awards. That way they could be in the persons player profile. Would just add a different element to the game. Maybe something that can be seen by everyone too. Just nothing too flashy though.

 

I couldn't find anything like this so i was just curious on everyones take on it.

Personally, I'm going to play the story out first

 

im gonna beat the campaign first to learn the units and such, then ill go b.net

 

Of course. With any game, I play story or campaign first. Just to get the feel of everything and to know what each thing does. THEN I start the intenet playing

 

oh, cody, you spelled single player "single plaTer" in the title.

 

Im not sure, i love the storymode as it has a load of fun missions but bnet is challenging, so undecided for me

 

i know im gonna love the campaigns. when im done with them im going to bnet for even greater maps

 

I'll get my name on bnet and then play single player

 

First I'll do the campaign.. with cheats (I'm just that impatient). So I'll know the story of SC2 within 2-3hours.
Then I'll play BNET and probably do some single player campaign when I'm pissed because I lost 5 times in a row.

 

wow, ^thats lame. there isnt even a release date for the game, hell, there has only been 1 race truly revealed by blizz, and you are already planning on cheating.

 

I'll play like I want to, I'm not going to hack on Bnet, I just don't feel like waiting 2 weeks to know the end of the story-line. But if you pay me a SC2 game, feel free to tell me how to play.
