What is StarCraft II?
啥是sc2
StarCraft II is the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game, and the sequel to the hit original, StarCraft. The game will include three completely distinct and balanced races, the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg, which have been overhauled and re-imagined with a number of new units for each, as well as new tricks for some of the classic units that are returning.
sc2是具有终极竞争力的即时战略游戏，希望能够接替sc1的地位。游戏含有三个完全不同的、极具平衡性的种族，PTZ，他们的构成兵种由经典sc衍生而来，经过了重新的绘图制作，并且每个族都加入了一些新兵种

At this point, it's too early to provide an initial estimate on the release date. As with all Blizzard games, we will take as much time as needed to ensure the game is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible.
现在说太早了，作为暴雪的游戏，我们将要花足够多的时间保证游戏的趣味性和平衡性
How will StarCraft II be different from StarCraft?
sc1和sc2的不同？
StarCraft II will run on a vibrant new 3D-graphics engine that will be capable of rendering beautiful landscapes as well as massive individual units andarmy sizes.
sc2运行在3D引擎上，所以在画面方面将更加真实，也可以描绘更多的作战单位
We're also introducing a number of distinct new units to the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg, and even some of the familiar units that return in StarCraft II will have new tricks up their sleeves, which will give the game its own unique flavor.
我们同时引进了一些新的兵种，PTZ都有。就算是一些SC1的经典兵种，在sc2中也引入了一些新的技能以增强游戏的可玩性
In addition, Battle.net will be overhauled with some new and exciting features to enhance online play and competition, while the story-mode campaign will also offer some unique aspects for players who enjoy single-player content. We'll have more details on all these aspects in the months to come.
此外，battle.net也将移入一些新的特性，增强网上对战的趣味性和激烈程度。在剧情模式方面，我们也引入了新的特性，喜欢任务的单机玩家同样不会失望。数个月后，将有
更多的细节被发布出来
Will there be both single-player and multiplayer components?
单人多人模式都有吧？
Yes, StarCraft II will include a unique story-mode campaign, as well as multiplayer capability over Battle.net. We'll provide more detail on both of these aspects a little further along in the development process.
是，sc2既包括单人任务模式，也包括多人对战模式。一段时间以后，随着开发过程的进展，我们将发布更多的细节
What will StarCraft II's story line be? Will any of the characters from the original StarCraft make an appearance in StarCraft II?
sc2的剧情是在sc1上做延展吗？sc1的人物会不会在sc2中出现？
It's a little too early to get into details on the story. Once we're able to discuss the single-player campaign in detail, we'll also share some exciting information about the story line for the game.

How many cinematic cut-scenes will be included?
有多少过场动画？
We know that StarCraft II players will expect to see some Blizzard-quality cinematic content in the game, and we have definite plans to include multiple cinematics, starting with a cinematic intro. We'll provide further confirmation once final determinations have been made.
我们都知道sc2的玩家想看到更多的，暴雪品质的过场动画，我们也有相关的计划，譬如，游戏开始就是一个过场。随着最终方案的敲定，我们将发布更多的相关信息
How many races are in StarCraft II?
几个族？
In StarCraft II, players will see the return of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races. Our goal is to ensure that all the factions in the game play even more distinctly from one another than in the original StarCraft, while still maintaining the fine balance that helped make StarCraft such a classic. We're also introducing a number of new units to each race, as well as modifying some of the familiar units returning in StarCraft II. With these design refinements and the new features we have planned for the single-player and multiplayer elements of the game, StarCraft II will offer a next-generation StarCraft experience.
sc2中，玩家将看到TPZ的回归。我们的目标是，同sc1相比，每个族之间的区别将更加明显，当然，与此同时，我们希望保持和sc1一样的种族平衡性。我们同时为每个族引进了一些新的兵种，并且对一些经典兵种进行了修改。在精妙设计和新特性的基础上，无论是单机还是联机玩家都将体会一个新的sc，sc2将带来sc体验的革命。
StarCraft II has some big shoes to fill - is there added pressure in developing a follow-up to one of the most beloved games of all time?
sc1太成功了，这样是不是给sc2的开发带来了压力。
We recognize that the bar is set pretty high, but this type of pressure is not new to us. Warcraft III had to follow in the footsteps of Warcraft II, and Diablo II had to follow the original Diablo. Creating a StarCraft game that's bigger and better than the original is definitely a big challenge, but it's one that we fully intend to meet and exceed.
我们认识到这个压力，但是这种压力并不新鲜。war3比war2成功，d2比d1成功。创作一个比以前大，比以前好的新的sc确实是一个挑战性工作，但是这是我们以前完全经历过的事情。
Will the game be released in multiple countries? Will the release be simultaneous? Which countries and what languages will the game be localized in?
游戏将在多个国家发布吗？同时发布？支持多少语言？
Our goal is to release the game simultaneously across the world in multiple languages. As we get closer to release, we'll have more details to share.
我们的目标是在全世界同时发布，当发布日期来临时，我们将知道更多的消息。
Will there also be an expansion, and if so, what features will it contain?
对于每个兵种有说明吗？如果是，以何种形式表现出来？
Our focus has been and will continue to be on developing and refining the core StarCraft II experience, so we haven't really had much time to consider what types of things we would include with an expansion for the game if we were to do one.
我们的目标一直是开发和提炼新的sc2体验过程，所以对于说明这种事情没有太多的时间做。
Will there be a console version of StarCraft II?
sc2有控制台版本吗？（应该是PS等其他平台的版本）
StarCraft II is being developed for the PC. We have no current plans to bring the game to any console platform.
没有，就是PC版本
Battle.netWill Battle.net be overhauled? Will there be new features?
battle.net将会被改进吗？有什么新特性？
There will be some exciting new changes and features to Battle.net that will help us ensure that StarCraft II will be the ultimate competitive online real-time strategy game. We're not quite ready to discuss those features at this time, but we look forward to getting into more detail in the future.
会有些激动人心的改进，将会帮助我们肯定的认识到sc2是富有终极竞争力的即时战略游戏。但是关于这点我们还不想讨论太多，我们希望将来会有将这些细节发布给大家的机会。

What steps are being taken to prevent cheating in multiplayer games?
怎么样在多人游戏中防止作弊
We don't want to tip our hand to the people who may try to cheat on Battle.net, so we can't go into too much detail, but rest assured that security is one of our top priorities as we redesign and overhaul Battle.net, and we will take every precaution to ensure fairness in our online games. We've taken an aggressive stance against cheating in all of our games, and our players have overwhelmingly supported us in that, so we don't have any intention to make any changes in that regard.
在游戏中没做什么，但是在battle.net中，我们将采取更加激进，主动地措施来保证玩家的权益。

快发布的才知道
What will StarCraft II's rating be?
游戏的分级？
We are aiming for a T-rating in the US, and similar ratings elsewhere in the world, but those details won't be finalized until we get closer to release.
美国是T级，其他地方不知道，这些细节在临近游戏发布的时候才能知道
Will there be a closed or open beta? How about a trial or demo version?
beta版是保密还是公开？有demo或者试玩版本吗？
Decisions related to beta testing and trial or demo versions are usually made further along in the development process. We don't have any details available on these topics at the moment, but we will be happy to share the news once final decisions have been made.

mac和pc上都能玩？

和所有的暴雪游戏一样，都可以
Will StarCraft II take advantage of DirectX 10? What other graphical goodies are included?
用d10吗？是否支持其他版本的多媒体命令？（就是比较弱的，意思是非d10显卡能不能玩？）
The game will be compatible with DirectX 10, and we're still considering whether there will be exclusive DirectX 10 graphic effects, but the graphics engine will also be very scalable to ensure that a wide range of different systems will be capable of running StarCraft II. The new engine is also capable of rendering very large units, as well as large numbers of units on screen together. Havok physics have been integrated into the engine for added realism as well.
d10兼容，并且我们正在考虑一些非d10的图形特性。绝大部分的系统都可以玩sc2的（意思是显卡的需求不会很变态）。新的图形引擎将能够描绘非常大的单位，并且同时能够描绘更多的单位。Havok physics（不会翻译了）将会被继承到引擎中来增加游戏的真实感。
