I don't post here very often. Mainly because I don't really care when SC2 comes out.
However if it did happen to come out I know most of you would be all into the storyline and units and graphics. I know this because that's pretty much all that's being posted here.
However what about the other things?
For instance what if sc2 had 3d graphics and your view was panable? Instead of just looking from one angle (as you do now) you could pan around to whatever view you wanted? What would be the tactical advantages?
I think we should discuss ideas like this for the in-game standpoint and tactical reasons. So put up your ideas. Don't post ideas for new units or storyline or the other common things around here but put up things that might be usefull otherwise.

I dont think spinning the cammera around will help you contrloll your ..stuff. Itl lt just takes time, C&C Generals experience;).
Oh oh maybe some 3rd personish-platoon controling? Overall I dont think 3d graphics can improve gameplay, maybe new unit comands or something to improve gameplay on the microing side, afterall we dont want just-another-EA Games's-RTS-game right. Or.. or.. different stances, like in Blitzkrieg II...
I've never really noticed RTSs in 3-D being any harder or easier to control than 2-D and don't see any tactical implications. Therefore, it will likely include a pannable camera and such merely because it's a must have in a 3-D RTS.

No new races, why not just another expansion pack? That'll keep SC2 fanatics at bay for another few years.

But youre tilting the conversation to the point that U-238 did not want to :confused:
And spinning the cam is a must, and an option to swich that function off wont hurt;) I want Earth 2160 type of graphics:shiftyr:... I cant think of any 3d RTS that delivers greater tacktical .. stuff, do any of you?

You don't have to use it. I never made use of it in WC 3 or Dawn of War for anything actually useful. It's just a 'take it or leave it' option.

Wtf WC 3 has panning camera?
Damn I knew I should stick to SC
Yeah, it's pretty crappy though. You can zoom and tilt a bit.

Nono by a panning camera I mean you can rotate your view 360 around z and probably about 30-40 around the x/y. That way you can see what you're doing in certain situations. I can recall a few times where a panable camera would've been great.
Oh, ok.
No, it doesn't have a 'panning' camera. Just one that tries to be a panning camera.

Nono I still cant understand how spinning the cammera can win you the battle:
"Hey, ill spin the camera so i have a clear view of that marine's ass"

lol. EE
There should be a view rotation built in the game, but I find it more helpful for UMS map makers.
It's an idea, but you can see what a specifice unit sees like a FPS. It'll be cool what a battlecruiser sees; a bunch of units running on the ground. Again, something that will be good for ums map makers, if there is a new trigger that lets you do that to a unit.
What's really a good idea is that SC 2 should come with a free WoS as an add-on or something. That should be a gift from Blizzard for having us to wait for over 8 years.

The idea to have rotating a lil' ino would be to see further into dead angles like... No more Marine tree ambushes? :smirk:
Although to be honest I've never used it much on WC3-TFT nor have I mastered it's controls. The wisp's glow around the tree is all I actually need.
:P

But the game will constantly have to monitor every players cam position and so on :o. You hide behind the bush and all of the sudden the other player starts shooting just because the person playing has an overhead view, unrealistic. And taking cover is a great feature of SC, also levels (you know, ramps and those deep places...) SC2 shouldnt lose these. If there ever is sc2, and i doubt there will. Dang it just give me NFS Carbon and ill be a-ok

Im defenetly down with FPS/3rd PS view, and the concept of triggering it!

A more dynamic camera would be nice, and possibly cutting out your over the top view to look through an individual soldier's eyes (or cameras in the case of the Terran)

i hated that the camera was set at an angle in WC3. I always felt like I had to look behind me. I hope they put the camera angle
near 90 degrees like in SC1.
I also had an idea for dropships to have the option of parachuting units one by one, or landing to unload them all at once.
