Are you one of the thousands of diehard real-time strategy gamers who 
has yet to abandon the 1998 version of StarCraft? Would you rather not 
deal with the sequel's altered soldiers and upgrade trees, yet also pine 
for a version of the original that runs at a higher resolution than 
640x480 pixels?

The game's creators at Blizzard Software might have a treat in store for 
you: a remastered version of the original StarCraft. According to Korean 
news outlet iNews24—spotted by Kotaku on Friday—multiple sources are 
confident that Blizzard plans to announce StarCraft HD in September. The 
announcement would be followed by a deeper reveal at BlizzCon's November 
event in Anaheim.

The fog of war should remain more or less the same, I believe.

Yes, but if you have said, 2 nearly bases for example, you should been able
to watch both of them in the same screen, instead of only one actually ?!

Structures are always visible *after* your units found them. A bigger 
resolution definitely reduce window scrolling and save some time. But 
all players must have the same agreed resolution when the game starts to 
be fair.

Yes, that would be fair that all players have the same benefits, but I think
it would be great for everyone.
How many times have you been flooded, said by zerg for examples, and
haven't seen it coming for the west because you were already battling
at the east of the map ?

Don't forget that this problem was shared by all players back then. :)
