    blizzard has the rare talent for giving enough info to keep you interested, but still stay vague enough to not give any REAL info about their games

    @boctober Thanks man, I appreciate that. I didnt know they have a matchmaking system like that, so Im leaning now more towards just picking it up.

    @grim0187 I know how you feel and what you are talking about. RTS games take time on learning all the aspects of the game. Learning the units, the characters, the maps, the upgrades, etc. But, Starcraft 2 has a great match system for the multiplayer. My suggestion would be to play through the single player campaign first. Enjoy the story, learn the maps, learn how to build and setup everything and learn how to rush attack with your troops. Once you jump online, you can start playing against other players that are evenly matched with you. So, being new to RTS systems, the online ranking match system will pit you against another person with the same learning curve. Once you get through 50 matches or so, you will be vaulted to the next level and it will continue to get harder as you play against better competition. Starcraft 2 is truly one of the best games to play. Matches can last a good while, so be ready to sit and go at it. I encourage you to play this game and the first Starcraft. Getting a strategy guide for this game will help out a lot. You can dig in and learn from reading, but apply that to your game and learn from your hands on experience. Hope this helps you out. If you want to play online, add me to your friends list (asskickula).

    WoL was pretty good, not amazing(that goes saying for the campaign, multiplayer is pretty flawless). I mean a number of the characters were fairly weak and the dialogue was predictable. But the choices you get to make were interesting. This better not delay diablo3 ANYMORE or I'm giving up on activision/blizzard

    I really want to get into Starcraft, but Im aprhensive about jumping in. I know its a multiplayer focus game, but I dont have alot of experience with PC RTS' and dont want to be matched up and get dominated 5 minutes into a match.

    WTF Kerrigan looked much hotter in human form in Wings of Liberty. Doesnt even look like same Kerrigan but a black girl version of her....

    I will make a review when I get the "full game".Possibly when it is priced "correctly".
    P.S. What is it now?You are adding RPG elements to RTS ?Wow Blizzard you are such douche-bags .After 10 years of wait basically you came up with saying :"Look guys we didn't actually develop anything really worth buying.Just living off the legacy of the first game!"

    Soooo uuhhh is Kerrigan a good guy or bad guy? Sorry I didn't get to play Starcraft 2.

    haha easy on Dpl420, guys. he's entitled to his own opinion. as ignorant as he is as to what starcraft really is to the gaming community and what blizzard has done for the industry, he's still entitled to his rants. its funny if you think how little he knows, but he can rant. hehe

    @Dpl420 Billizard dosent milk game series for profits, There one of the few compaines that spend the extra time to make a great game, its the only company I'll buy games from without thinking "will this be bad" I'm not happy I have to wait a couple years for each game in a sereis but I waited over a decade for starcraft II I can wait another year. Know what your talking about before you start ranting. And yes I'm a fanboy.

    Nooooo...... Why did they make Kerrigan human again.... She was so bad ass as Queen of the Blades...

    Blizzard, your story staff disappoint.

    Wish they did the Protoss expansion first and not the Zerg, especially when Zerg is the least played faction.
