Starcraft : Brood War

Blizzard has 1 more card under the sleeve

When you think that Starcraft II makes gamers around the world waiting in awe, there is more excitement from one of the best game developer around.

Blizzard has currently 3 teams working on the projects, 135 people are working on World of Warcraft, 40 for Starcraft II and another 40 working under “Team 3″. Frank Pearce, founding member and senior vice president of product development for Blizzard revealed that “Team 3 is working on something really awesome.”

With BlizzCon coming in a few weeks’ time, announcements of new gaming development may come by then.

In the meantime, we can only anticipate the possibilities of the new game.

Since the team is made up of 40 members, we cannot expect it to be a MMORPG like World of Warcraft, which need more people in maintaining and developing the game. So World of Starcraft, etc are out.

Diablo II : Lord of Destruction was released in the year 2001 and Warcraft III : Frozen Throne was released in the year 2003. Expansions sound impossible for this 2 games, as they are quite old (but still good).

Diablo III and Warcraft IV might be the next upcoming sequel to their famous gaming series. However we cannot rule out Blizzard might be coming up with new games.

Command and Conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars 1.06 patch released

EA has released version 1.06 patch for Command and Conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars. This new patch addresses statistics collection for online matches, exploits and bug fixes.

Tracking Disconnects

Changed the way that disconnects are reported. Now, whenever the game detects that a disconnect has occurred in a 1v1 match, both players are awarded a disconnect stat — neither player is given a win or loss stat.

Exploits

Fixed an exploit that caused any unit or structure to become invincible if force-fired upon by a Mammoth Tank that had been upgraded with Rail Guns.

Other Bugs

  • Fixed a bug that caused the Nod Cloaking Field power to deduct up to 6,000 credits from the Operations Center. The power now correctly deducts 3,000 credits.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed players in the online lobbies to /tell and /invite users that had marked them to be ignored.
  • Players can no longer send /tell messages to other players as observers during a multiplayer match.
  • Fixed a hang that occurred when users typed /friend or /invite without a corresponding name.
