TFC2 - Dynamic Maps

Here's an interesting tidbit I happened upon regarding maps in Team Fortress Classic 2:
"As for how the dynamic maps work in practice, that was hard to judge. The match we played on Hydro, the first map to use this special game mode, was enormous fun. But as extensive as our playtest was, they didn't let us play on the map for three years, and that's the kind of heavy use under which this system should flourish. What we did notice is that this is not just a Battlefield type system with some control points 'locked'. When a point is not in play, routes to that section of the map are physically blocked off, so the physical shape of the map is different for every combination of points. That forces you to revise your mental picture of the map, and see it as fresh again."

Starcraft 2???

Hey fellas. I have heard that Blizzard will be making a big announcment at the World Wide Invitational in Seoul, South Korea on May 19th. Some sites say it is Starcraft 2, others say it's another MMO. I don't think anyone knows for sure. We can only hope!!! Apparently a Korean site had contacted Blizzard in regards to this.. this is their response.

"We do intend to announce a new product at the Worldwide Invitational next month in Korea, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest in getting an advance look at what that will be, but players will have to wait until May 19th to find out more. Also, we have a very strong connection with the characters and settings of StarCraft, and we do plan to revisit that universe at some point in the future, but we don't have anything new to announce in that regard at present."

P.S. Protoss RULE!!!!
