Check out these 2 pictures (that Soltari pointed out to me) the first one appears to be a bunch of siege tanks and the second of a terran base (some of the buildings are familiar), all rendered in 3 demensions.

This is on some Korean site so we took the liberty of "translating" the article for you, what I love the most is that the word "Starcraft" is translated phonetically as "star khu Rae phu thu". From the gibberish I seem to have gathered that the game is late into development or so the writer thinks. Anyways this is pretty defenitive proof that sc2 is underway.

Disclaimer: I don't know if this is real or not, so don't yell at me.

The models look too crap to be of blizzard origin.

Yeah, I recognized it as a Generals mod with the second pic, you can see the transport icon is the same as generals, and the chevrons are from generals.

For some reason, Blizzard hates StarCraft, even though it's their best RTS series (I dare anyone to say WarCraft III: TFT is better than StarCraft: Brood War). I mean, Diablo has what, two expansions and a sequel? WarCraft has 2 sequels and two expansions, and StarCraft has one expansion and that's it.

Starcraft is there most recent franchise though, and don't forget Ghost.

Ghost is being created by Nihilistic, and if you want to count spin-off games, WarCraft has THREE sequels and three expansions. (I forgot about Tides of War earlier)

And besides. WarCraft II Battle.net edition came out after StarCraft: Brood War, but yet WarCraft III has already gotten an expansion and a sequel since then, while StarCraft has gotten nothing.
