According to an
IncGamers interview with members of the
StarCraft II team, one of the major components of the original game won't be included in the sequel -- LAN play. "We don't have any plans to support LAN," VP of game design Rob Pardo told the site. Blizzard has reportedly confirmed to
IGN that LAN support is indeed out the window. We're reaching out to Blizzard for comment as well, so don't throw out all your cables yet.
If this is true, Battle.net is the only multiplayer option in
StarCraft II, and the era of the LAN party has officially
ended -- we suppose you could still bring your computer over to someone else's house, but you no longer need to. More than that, we suspect that this will be just
one of the things that thousands of daily
StarCraft players are going to freak out about, because it's something in the new game that is the slightest bit different from the old game.
