No Medics in StarCraft 2?

We have not yet seen anything significant from the Terran side of things for StarCraft 2 but what is rumored is that there will be no medics. I was surprised because medics were the heart and soul of the marine rush! My marines couldn’t stand up to the enemy without a few beautiful medics. Come on Blizzard, we need those girls back. Also, they should have a more girl looks than the big bold armor look. Go Medics!

Pay to Play StarCraft 2?

I was browsing the Battle.net forums today and saw thread about paying to play StarCraft 2 online. Well, at first I thought what bull crap is this kid talking about? But then I remember all those rumors that were flying about paying to play games online. Sure, Battle.net needs the money to keep up with the latest technology but I believe the money they get from sponsorships is enough to pay for that. Blizzard will sell enough copies of StarCraft 2 to pay all their staff, Battle.net deal and all. I mean StarCraft 2 is the BIG DEAL guys! Why would Battle.net need to charge players who bought the game? I think this should be made clear both by Blizzard and Battle.net that they will not be charging for online gaming. Though I am all for paying for extra features… what do you think?
