StarCraft 2 Legacy of the Void

If you’re a StarCraft fan then you should be excited about Legacy of the Void’s release this November. It is the third and final installment of the StarCraft II trilogy. There will be new units and plenty of storyline missions posing challenges as you save the known universe.

StarCraft has woven a world where powerful alien races wage war across the galaxy. Battle.net is where the action takes place. There will be new features coming to Battle.net to enhance gameplay and offer more opportunities to compete with friends. Make sure to check out what’s new and to prepare your system to handle this installment of StarCraft.

Daily Tournaments

Gameplay

 

One of the newest features of the release are daily tournaments for all players to join. Start testing your skills against seasoned players and newbies alike to get to the top.

I always watch replays to see where I could improve or to steal moves my opponent used during the match. You might even get good enough to win tournaments and compete professionally.

Two Player Base Control

This is pretty exciting. You and a partner will be able to play as a team, sharing a single base. One player could be setting up harvesters, expanding the base and building units where the other could be choosing upgrades, exploring the map and directing the forces. Things could get pretty intense if you and your friend conflict on strategy, but complementing skills can make for an unstoppable force when done right.

Co-op Mode

Playing missions just got more interesting. Now you and a friend can fight together and experience a different dimension of the StarCraft story. Being able to have new people play through missions with each other also adds variance and a level of uncertainty to the game.

Power Overwhelming

 

StarCraft II
