Hey guys you have to remember Starcraft was and still is the best RTS to date (for online play anyway), that is a massive reputation to live upto for any sequel, the last thing they want to do is release the game and have it die off in a few months time, because the game is not properly balanced for online skirmishes etc!
Balancing these kinda games out means small tweaks followed by hours of testing, then rinse and repeat for a few years lol.
I for one will buy this game when it finally is tweaked to perfection, just because the original gave me so many hours of fun!
Have patience and faith, it will be released eventually, boy will it be worth the wait. As for freelancer two, that will probly also be released eventually, just knowing MS, they want it to be a 360 exclusive, given the hardware limitations of the crappy 360, that may be the reason it has been abandoned for now, the 360 cannot handle the graphics engine, not untill someone decides to re-write it all for 360 compatibility! (and crappy graphics comparible to the original, if we are lucky that is...).
