If StarCraft 2 doesn’t outsell Modern Warfare 2 worldwide, I’m going to be very disappointed in you Internet…

According to Fomos (via Team Liquid), Blizzard has announced some of its marketing partners in Korea, the most notable being Korean Air. It revealed that two Korean Air planes have been branded StarCraft 2 and feature art from the game.

Having witnessed StarCraft being pirated to hell and back over the last decade, the developers decided to crackdown on the rampant issue…

As Blizzard announces that the Battle.net servers for Starcraft 2 will be split by region, Classy Gamer elaborates on the problem of "Gamer Segregation".

We interact and play on a globalized internet that allows us to connect with other gamers all over the world in a matter of seconds, but some game developers still stubbornly split their communities with antiquate regional barriers.

We’re not trying to be innovative," says StarCraft II design director Dustin Browder when confronted with criticism that the anticipated real-time strategy title’s multiplayer gameplay has not sufficiently evolved since its predecessor’s 1998 release.

"We’re not trying to change for change’s sake," Browder told Gamasutra as part of a larger forthcoming interview. "We’re just trying to make quality, and we definitely felt there were some things in the previous game that were high quality, that we weren’t super confident we could do much better."

For example, he added, "I don’t have a lot of enthusiasm to make Siege Tank 2.0. Siege Tank is good."

Blizzard has released a new cinematic trailer from StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

“Take a left at the Orc statue, then go straight to check in at the reception desk,” says the Blizzard security officer at the entrance gate to the infamous Blizzard Campus. That’s probably the only time I’ll ever have a security guard give me directions with an Orc statue as a landmark. Needless to say, I know I’m at the right place. This is my first time to Blizzard, and my first time to try out the single-player campaign of the upcoming Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty, so I finally have a chance to ask Chris Sigaty, Lead Producer on Starcraft 2, the one burning question on my mind: What took so long?

“It wasn’t until we were done with the Warcraft 3 expansion in 2003 that we had a chance to even start looking this way. World of WarCraft came out and a lot of resources went into that to help it accomplish all that it has done, which has been great; whole teams were brought into that game at certain times. We also wanted to define exactly what StarCraft 2 is. We wanted to hearken to the legacy of the multiplayer game but also be able to bring a lot into [StarCraft 2] as well. It took us a while to settle on the campaign and ultimately what it was; we knew we wanted to do something new, so hopefully people will be blown away by it.”
