Apparently since this offer came out, the servers have died according to the SC2 boards... I was so excited Wait: I'm in
suppose to come out June - ish. Played 3 games so far, got my butt handed to me.... it's like learning to walk again, build order, counter strategies. It's also weird that it seems I have to logout and log in after every match (only way I got the match finder to work). Still .... happy :grin:
i never played starcraft. only warcraft 3. i will be getting this though. i guess it will take a while to get any skill.
They're completely different in playstyle though. SC2 feels a lot more like warcraft 3 than SC 1. That said, if you like single player, then its a no brainer to play SC1.
How does SC2 feel like WC3? I've been playing sc2 beta the last few days and I think it plays a lot like the first sc. Terrans are nearly the same, Zerg is a little diff...and protoss is a lot diff. Protoss is soo over powered if you have time to build imo. The new warp gates are hack...only 5 seconds to spawn 1 troops every 10 seconds per warp gate? Crazy idea...
have you played wc3? sc2 is not just about massing hydras or carriers to win the game, there are armor types and units actually counter each other, very similar to wc3, there's still the massing up that we all love from sc1, but it's gotten more complex, for the better
I've played wc3 and sc1. Sc2 is more complex than the original, but that should be a given. Sc1 had a lot of strategy involved as well. You could mass hydras...but against a good terran or toss, u'll get wiped out easy. Same goes for carriers. I've won 3v1 many times in sc1...so just massing units doesn't necessarily mean you will win.
Lot of Battle.net info out today. I know the link is from a predominantly WoW site but the battle.net info will apply to all Blizz games. They also announced that there will be battle.net functionality with Facebook, and several of the features are going to be tested in the SC2 beta over the next few weeks. http://www.wow.com/2010/05/05/battle-net-real-id-preview-and-faq/
I'm super pumped about StarCraft 2 now. I'm re-playing StarCraft (and Brood War) missions now. I'm also constantly watching a lot of pro StarCraft 2 matches on YouTube (by HuskyStarcraft and HDStarcraft... best commentators). I'm so excited. Open beta (phase 2?) may start shortly, too!

Just checked my Visa gift card balance and GameStop already has a pending charge for my Collector's Edition pre-order. One day closer... :grin:
