    i find that unlikely, they are just revealing terran stuff so that the protoss can kill the terrans in the demo :p

    Terrans pwn now. Adaptable firepower of doom that slaughters all in its path of obliterato! Drugged up convicts with hot chicks backing them up! TERRAN BABY!!!

    (BTW maybe they have all the zerg done and just want to shock us so much we all wet are pants. Wait since we'll all turn into Zerg we wont have pants!)

    i thought the idea of showing protoss first would turn all of us into toss. then we wouldnt have genitals to wet ourselves with.

    They'll probably have only Terran and Toss available, but I'd imagine they'll have a big update for all three races at their site, and not to mention giving some very informative interview, and a lot of them too.

    I still think that they will only let you play as Protoss. From the very beginning Blizzard already said that all three races were playable in multiplayer, but I don't think they will let you have it that easy.

    They are on a plan to put every last SC player on a leash. If you give too much too fast, the dog won't listen to you.

    I'm thinking the protoss and the terrans are going to playable in Blizzcon. I mean protoss v. protoss is kinda boring.

    http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/index.php?topic=1184.0

    The full swede article had a Swede playing protoss against the developers who were protoss. Needless to say, the swede got owned. ^_^ So I mean they have to have terran playable in Blizzcon, eh?

    Karune made a post on battlenet linked here

    His quote:
    Looks like your seeing more of the iceberg now :) Don't worry there is still plenty more of it, even for Terrans.

    This is a very interesting quote because I think that there could be some chances that Zergs will also be revealed at BlizzConn. And of course, we will be learning a great deal of the Protoss, which are stated to have lots of existing units revamped around. Same with the Terrans.

    We will see how it goes. Just 2 more weeks.

    I meant only playable as Toss in a scripted campaign, you'll be going against whatever.  I really don't see them setting up multiplayer for BlizzCon.

    What!?  You serious, Red??  OMG then I totally change my vote.  All three races baby!

    We better see some damn Zerg action if there's gonna be multiplayer action at BlizzCon.

    its on the blizzard site, go to the blizzcon section and they have something that talks about having booths set up where people can try out SC2, and i think they mentioned multiplayer.

    Very cool, I can't wait til we get to hear about all the new goodies for every race. I still think Blizzard has some tricks up their sleeves for even the Protoss! Their talk of already release units going through major changes in the "Unit Training Camp" makes me very intrigued to see what all has been done. And of course, they still have to replace the Soul Hunter. We still don't know jack about the Star Relic either, or both the Dark Templar and High Templar for that matter!

    The Zergs are still in concept stage as revealed by the recent German magazine. With just under 2 weeks left till BlizzConn, I don't expect the Zergs to be playable. But we will probably learn some new stuff about the Zergs.

    Terrans and Protoss are the most likely choices. Congrads to anyone that voted Terran and Protoss. :)

    They said they had all three races playable in multiplayer way back around when they first announced SC2. But all of a sudden Zerg is back in "concept phase." Like, wtf Blizzard?

    I don't understand what the hell is going on.

    when they first made the engine the plonked all of sc1 units in, therefore all races were fully playable about 3 months into the development, however, what blizzard means by the zerg are still in concept stage is that all the new units have not been added to the engine yet, so if you were to play as zerg you would be playing sc1 zerg.

    Yea, it is getting very confusing.
    I just found that video way back in WWII and Rob Pardo clearly stated that the all 3 races were fully playable through multiplayer. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding because a lot of the German and Korean magazines info that we gathered contradicts one another.

    Hopefully, what the German magazine stated about the Zergs is mistaken. Otherwise, I would be really disappointed because I really want to see some Zergs at BlizzConn.

    GuiMontag, don't make up stories and state them as if they were fact. You don't know any of that, don't get people confuse, it's bad enough as it is. Blizzard made no implications of the kind in the slightest way.

    And I personally regard the German magazine to be less accurate. I read the Korean article myself, but I can't read German, so I can't trust its info 100%. Well, not that the Korean article could be trust 100% either, but at least I got to read that first hand.

    gamespot interview with chris sigaty "we started to be honest, ah with starcraft classic, we just put it in the game and looked at it, and started playing it in our new engine and then we just started upgrading things, and playing with things and moving things around" end quote

    In that case I apologize, as you were basing it on something. But there is still some guess work on your part.

    Unless the interview/article stated otherwise, I fail to see how it is possible for Blizzard to be still sitting on SC1 Zerg after 4 years of development.
