When I was deployed to Iraq, our ability to network our xboxes and play halo 2 was the only thing that helped us maintain our sanity. I know bliz wants to prevent piracy, but they are smart enough and large enough to come up with a way to do it without punishing their loyal fans that are buying the game. Truly disappointed. Damn that does suck man I feel for you and this is a prime example of why people are pissed when they heard that Lan wasn't going to be included. It seems like a giant slap in the face to the average player or anyone who isn't up in the Pro leagues to find out they do in fact have a Lan setup but we just aren't allowed to have it because of Blizzards crazy power trip SC2 seems to have put them on. | ||

I have a feeling that Blizzard will implement LAN through a patch a month or two after release. | ||

Hurray for LAN though! Although players like Sea.Really/Seiya have said that will not continue progaming, I am really hoping the mechanical terrans of BW will eventually pick up SC2 and play. Up and coming prodigies such as baby with insane multi-task ability [FP views of the recent Ace vs Flash were silly to try and comprehend] combined with raw mechanics...we will see if the skill ceiling in SC2 has been lowered as much as many of us think it has been or if the multi-tasking time granted through the easier macro-ing will make for non-stop action instead of blob v blob army. | ||

That's pretty stupid... There is just an activation code, I'm sure Blizzard isn't that selfish to withhold important information because a couple of representatives are not present. | ||

Hate to burst your bubble bro but hackers will find a way to implement hacks on SC2 within a very short period of time. The new Bnet2.0 only makes it more difficult. This won't even come close to touching the skill level of some of the most popular hack-makers out there who often times are far more intelligent than the programmers the company has working for them. | ||

They would go after a professional tournament using such a hack which was the real concern. That any professional tournament was faced with either horrible pings and instability or to taint the legitimacy of their event. Blizzard has solved this problem, now let the pirates solve the other. | ||
