Those familiar with Activision Blizzard's track record when it comes to releasing games know that the company has a tendency to release games only when they are ready. Armed with that knowledge, it comes as no surprise that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty has been pushed back to the "first half of 2010."

According to Activision Blizzard, the delay is due to Battle.net, which is the company's multiplayer online gaming service.  Bobby Kotick, Activision's CEO, stated that "Battle.net is integral to the Starcraft 2 experience" and that the service will be ready "early next year."

StarCraft 2 will probably be one of the biggest game releases on the PC next year. How does the TAG community feel? Are you guys looking forward to some StarCraft 2 muliplayer game nights?

... Sounds like we might get it before 2012. It may be hard for to be a fan, waiting years and years for this game to come out, but as Robbiejo said the good thing is when it does come out it will work as it should without bugs and exploits. I am a huge fan of all things Blizzard, and this is the type of game that I will build a new computer for. Can't wait (well actually I can, and have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting).

... I'm not surprised, yet at the same time I fell for everyone's "money tree" come early next year. Never mind the money, who has the time to play everything they have an interest in even you have the funds? PC titles or not, the lines blur more and more everday. Given that, a good deal of these titles that are getting delayed are likely to find themselves in another bum rush of hurt as their title gets over looked by the likes of now, Starcraft 2 as well.

... i love "first half" of 2010. Is that January or June? By bet is holidays 2010. Love you, Blizzard - but seriously? If you know the game won't be ready for three years after you announce it - then please wait don't announce it yet. Same with Diablo 3 - I mean, seriously. They've taken their reputation as "it's done when it's done" to an extreme. Not cool.
