    Karune answers Starfeeder's 15 Starcraft 2 questions

    1)     Question 1: Bnet 2.0 have a desktop version? ie: like Steam or will it be just web-based? - Tajj
    Karune: Yes, also you will be able to access Bnet 2.0 from your mobile phones

    2) What is the minimum screen resolution Starcraft 2 is supporting? - nkoplm
    Karune: 640x480

    3) Will audio & video recording be supported in some sort of replay system? Or will game commentators still need to rely on 3rd party tools? - zeox
    Karune: There are plans for a commentators edition of Starcraft II, which will support these features

    4) There has been a lot of concern, that ZvZ could become a roach micro contest as roaches do double damage to biological, are tier 1 and have high regeneration. Is this true? If not, how can one counter a roach rush in ZvZ? - random_user07
    Karune: The dev team has been working on a concept for an anti-Roach Zerg unit, temporarily named Catalisk

    5) How has island map matches been like so far in StarCraft II internal testing? Could you describe basic sample builds and/or tactics in island games? - jeraal
    Karune: We are still testing from a small pool of land maps: Kulas Ravine, The Lost Temple, and Big Game Hunters 2.0

    For the rest of them visit http://starfeeder.gameriot.com/blog...-answers-Starfeeders-15-Starcraft-2-questions

    Im assuming a few of them are jokes due to april fools day, but the ones that are, are obviously jokes.

    Enjoy,

    My guess is that 640 x 480 are bs. It is nearly impossible to have 3d stuff in that res. Even sc:bw was only any good in 800 x 600. With so nany zerglings, that would be like 2 pixels per zergling on a screen filled with them...

    Catalisk? Is that latin for something? Where did the "cata" come from?

    From the picture of that cat karune send with it. Duh, that's one of the jokes.

    I just wish Dustin awnsered these. He elaborates. Kinda weird if b.net 2.0 really would go mobile as well. It has almost no use, only usefull for following tournaments.

    I think the Catalisk could be cool if it gave a debuff you any unit it hit that makes it unable to regenerate/be repaired/regen shields for 30 seconds or so?

    @ Fenix
    Just Blizars way to help fix the economy: create 200 new jobs by letting people test all maps...

    It must be a joke. OR: CUSTOM MAPS MIGHT POSSIBLY COUNT AS WINS WHEN TESTED! Just think of it, extremely populair fast maps, tower defence or whatever might get looked at by Blizzard and approved as melee type. -- almost wets himself --

    Confirmed, this entire article is forged....

    I, personally, think it's a bad idea to forge a Blizzard document or response as an April fools...

    No problem man, wouldn't expect you to! After all, he's a "fansite" and is publishing what you would believe to be a Blizzard response... It's in blue, has Karune's name next to it. It's his fault for publishing, not yours for believing it.

    It's different if you say it, but making up words for Blizzard?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Karune chooses not to answer his real Q&A now. :p
