Σύμφωνα με μία άλλη πηγή, το SC2 μπορεί απλώς να κρατήσει το όνομα, άλλα η όλη υπόθεση και τα units να είναι εντελώς διαφορετικά, δλδ να κρατήσει όλα τα άπαιχτα (ακόμη και τώρα) στοιχεία που έκαναν το SC κορυφαίο, να προσθέσει άλλα και να αλλάξει time-frame. Όσοι δεν παίξατε το SC δεν ξέρετε τι χάσατε, σαν να παίζετε FPS χωρίς να έχετε παίξει Battlefield, ακριβώς έτσι είναι το SC για τα RTS.

Προσωπικά το περιμένω πώς και πώς .
