Prior to the Worldwide Invitational, several retailers began listing an unconfirmed December 3rd release

I say f the campaign. give us a multiplayer version first, then when the campaign is ready, we can DL it!

I'd rather have them make a good game and take their time. I'm glad that they do.

No... that's Blizzards unoffical motto for the last 10 years or so. Do your research...

EDIT: Found it.

Blizzard sets "release windows" to let people know when we expect a game to be finished. However, our goal at Blizzard is to not release a game until it's ready. While we could release a lower quality product to meet a specific date, we instead choose to work on a game until it meets the high standards that we know Blizzard fans and our development teams demand. When you see release windows coming from Blizzard, keep in mind they will be updated as time goes on -- at first being very vague and becoming more specific as the game nears completion. When you see release dates from other sources, keep in mind that those are simply guesses as to when we will be finished and are also in no way a concrete release date. We encourage you to check the official Blizzard.com website for updates regarding release dates

I hope they delay this until 2010 or beyond. And then when the date comes, delay it until 2011. It seems as if It needs a good 5-6 years.

"No way, I say delay it until 2098 that way they can release it as the 100 year anniversary edition!"

"With inflation it would only cost $980!"
