    I definitely feel slow. I hope the rust shakes off but with the new units it's definitely taking some getting used to.

    How do you guys like the game so far?

    After beta, I don't think I want to play this game. It's the same sc, just a little more complex. For a casual gamer, the extra complexity is what turns me off.

    ohnoes i have to think, my poor wittle bwain..

    Complexity is what makes it more interesting, and the whole point is to keep it close to the original. They didn't want to make it terrible like WC3. I doubt this would be a turnoff for most people.

    The population decline that played WC3 dropped off really quick after the first expansion was released. The best thing about WC3 was the custom maps.

    depends. do you like Mcdonalds?

    do you think Walmart has the best selection like ever?

    Starcraft is a non-groundbreaking game with superb replay, awesome multiplayer support and great unit/ balance.

    It has crappy storyline and cliched IP ripped off from Warhammer 40,000, Aliens and multiple other sources and a just-there single player mode.

    Its primary draw is a huge playerbase who like Mcdonalds customers aren't necessarily the most discriminating bunch but whose numbers actually is beneficial since everyone you know will know what you're talking about when you want to play/discuss the game.

    Typical behavior of kids these days who play on battle net. Did I hurt your feelings because I don't care for the game? I have the game and the pre-order bonus from gamestop, unfortunately I'll never play the game because beta didn't exactly wow me.

    Cripes the campaign is easy on "Normal". I thought it would be at least a little more challenging than that, but on missions where I'm just supposed to gather resources or something, I simply march into the enemy base and lay waste instead. I don't think I'm supposed to do stuff like that.

    P.S. - Wish I could have a Tech Lab AND Reactor so I could pump out Marauders like no tomorrow.

    Really enjoying the Campaign so far, playing on Hard. Wanted to try Brutal but I felt like it would be kind like a chore.

    But the battle.net stuff is ridiculous.

    No chat room, no real game browsing, fine...I already knew these.

    But only one name ever? Come on...I thought they were gonna stop "smurfing" with the hidden rating thing, now we're just gonna stuck with one name ever?

    Yeah the one name thing is kinda dumb... I think they are working on b.net chat aren't they? I sure hope they are.

    Hmm, well, the MINIMUM requirements for a Mac is an 8600M GT, and while you don't have a Mac, I imagine an 8200M probably won't cut it.
