I wonder if they'll do the same style as this game, or if they'll change the campaign play up a bit.
Oh, and does anyone thing that ghost kerrigan looks hawt?

Played some on a guest pass now, and well, it's Starcraft, not much else to say. Gonna buy it sometime this week.

Is this game worth it for the custom games alone? I don't really like the core gameplay because online competition with RTS is insane if you don't play the game at least a couple of times a week.
But spent countless of hours playing custom games in Warcraft 3.

I am missing something. One of the rare good games that comes out on Mac. There are hardly any games on the Mac OS so when one comes out its a big deal to me. I'm buying a new laptop soon, so maybe it can take it.

UMS games are definately good in SC2. The community have made a lot of entertaining and excellent games. Each falling into several different genres. I tried a FPS one and it was just great. I've seen some good rpgs in development and had fun with a physics engine one. There's also a Touhou replicate SC2 one. Possiblities are endless. My favs so far are the retro arcade styled ones that people are making.

i just finished the campaign mode and it was good. now I'm excited for for the next one to come out. I'm a sucker for getting caught up in a story line...
till that happens ill enjoy replaying some of the missions and most importantly I'll enjoy the multi-player!

Love the new graphics in the game, really add a new appeal to it.
Campaign was nice, longish (29 missions compared to 30 in the original and brood war)and had a bunch of other fun features to do apart from missions.
Does anyone notice in multiplayer or even just against the AI that the zerg are a tad bit too weak? I generally beat zerg players and with the AI I can sweep zerg on insane mode easy but tend to struggle a bit against terran and protoss.
Recomended for anyone who likes RTS games but be prepared for frustration when taking up multiplayer

Well you are going to run into troubles there, Custom games are not going to be as big as they were on WC3 or SC1.

...- There is NO local hosting on battle.net 2.0 and probably won't ever be.
- You can only have 5 maps or "mods" (which aren't even mods) on Battle.net, anything else you've got cannot and will never be multiplayer unless you sacrifice an existing project.
- You have a 20mb global limit across everything and a 10mb limit individually.
- The editor censors whatever Battle.net censors and refuses uploads. "Suicide", "God", and "Blow" are amongst the words that - even if only contained in editor-related strings - will prevent you from ever playing your map online. Starcraft 1 was rated M on release and Sc2 will be rated T on release. Blizzard was not liable for any obscene content on custom projects until they introduced this system. Hot Coffee, anyone?
-People have the ability to make some pretty crazy custom games on SC2, but blizzard has made it to be pretty ridiculous to actually get people on BattleNet 2.0 to play them.

It's a slight uphill battle for new players starting out with Zerg.

I also think that the AI learns. I've been practicing with medium AI all the time but around the 7th match I suddenly got Thors and Battlecruisers knocking on my natural by the time I would normally attack the AI base.
When watching the replays the AI also got it's second base about 3-4 minutes earlier then the other replays.
typical Blizzard easter egg
