Haha wowwww. I haven't been paying attention to development, this is still an RTS, right? It's looking crazy. Anyone getting it next week? I might get it in a few weeks or so to play online with my brother.

Got it. It's amazing...well, not amazing amazing, but still good. If you liked the original Starcraft, you will like this one. Let me know (anyone) if you play this, we can play a match.

i got it the day it came out, it's fucking incredible for me. i'm doing the campaign before i dig into multiplayer, but it's definitely a great sequel. i'd have liked another race, but lorewise there were far too many loose ends to tie up for another race to fit in.

i enjoyed broadcasting mengsk's faggotry all throughout the dominion though. been waiting twelve years for that motherfucker, that shit he did to kerrigan infuriated me.

I have only played the first mission, I never played through the original Starcraft campaign. The protoss intrigue me the most, although I can't play them for shit. So I just play as terran.
Another race would have been hard to work in, but they could have added it in just for skirmish/mulitplayer.

i never understood how so many people could not play the campaign. it's like when WotLK came out for WoW, instead of enjoying the questing, lore, music, environment, new creatures, and all of that jazz, they rushed to 80 in a day and cleared out naxxramas. they didn't even backtrack to look over what they skipped.

starcraft 2 has a great learning curve though. if you use the help menu (at least in the campaign), it details each unit as you come across it, and which units it's strong/weak against.

also, since i haven't played multiplayer yet, i don't know if the terran get these things, but..

in the campaign there are things like armory and tech upgrades that give you crazy shit like regenerating vulture bombs, immortal self-repairing thor units, supply depots that instantly fall into place from orbit, bunkers with automated turrets on top, SCV's that can work on the same building together to speed up construction, panther robots ... all sorts of shit.

also, you get to play as Nova from the cancelled Starcraft Ghost game for a mission. she is a total badass. fucking loved that mission.

EDIT: there's also a mission where you have to constantly move your base to avoid a crawling wall of fire from a star going supernova. fucking hated that mission.

Well for me, because a group of friends got the game, I decided to get it, so I could play with them. I will do all of the campaign, once I do, I will let you know.
There are a lot of units in the campaign that you don't get in multiplayer. A few of my friends have played through campaign and said that, and from what you describe, I know that a lot of those things you don't get in multiplayer. All you can really do to upgrade units is upgrade the defense/attack.

Is it one of the types of missions you have to do like ten times over? -_-

supernova took me two full tries on normal. but i was shitting myself the whole time.
