 Possibly best game ever July 31, 2010

The Terran campaign is amazing. Between SP and MP I can confidently say this is one of my favorite games ever already (and I have a history back to doom/warcraft 1).
As far as the controversial trilogy, they had three options pretty much:
(1) Make the Terran campaign standard length and include mini campaigns for the other two races. Appeases ultra conservatives and corporate paranoia,
(2) Make the Terran campaign awesome and promise awesome campaigns for the other two races in expansions. Appeases the players who like good games,
(3) Make the Terran campaign awesome and not promise anything. Probably makes nobody happy.
Camp #2 loves SC2 and is looking forward to (probably reasonably-priced) expansions for more campaign goodness. Camp #1 thinks they are on some mighty crusade and are just depriving themselves of one of the best games ever made. No I'm not a drooling fanboy, I've been playing in moderation. I'm just telling it how I see it. There is nothing I see greedy about this move, nothing that suggests Blizzard made this decision to get as much money as possible.
It might be easier to swallow if there weren't so many people coming up with doomsday conclusions in Camp #1. A good example is how many people you see taking for granted that the other two games will be fully priced, when I believe Blizzard themselves have said they'll probably be priced as expansions but _nobody knows right now anyway_ what the price will be. It's that kind of propaganda that makes me a little skeptical of Camp #1.
I paid for the CE and frankly I would gladly pay full price for an equal-caliber Heart of the Swarm.
Flawless gameplay, detractors are one-starring over BNET 2.0 July 31, 2010

It lives up to the hype, and then some. If not the greatest game ever made, it's certainly damn close. Excellent balance for a flawless competitive ranked experience, an incredibly gripping (and variety-filled) campaign mode, and a new and extremely noobie friendly "challenge" system which teaches even RTS neophytes the tricks of the pros, this game is for every self-respecting PC gamer on the planet. Buy it for yourself, buy it for your friends, buy it for your damn Grandma. It's gold.
The detractors on this page, to the man, are simply whining about Battle Net 2.0 features which I fail to see the importance of. Yes, I'm very sorry there's no Spawning anymore or LAN support (which sucks) but the GAME itself is amazing and five stars. Harping on about Blizzard's business decisions isn't a legitimate cause to downvote such an excellent game.
Who is organizing this massive horde of trolls, anyway?
Awesome! July 31, 2010

As a hardcore Blizzard enthusiast since the dawn of time (aka dialup ;]) I can honestly say this isn't even worth buying. Blizz puts their hands deep in your pockets by releasing 1/3 of the game but gives a really horrid performance. Several key features missing that helped boost SC to stardom. To borrow a WoW term, it's so sad to say that the game is "working as intended". I'll be recommending to all of my friends that they pass, just like I wish I had =(.
Nothing Special July 31, 2010

Decent game but they really blew it on the PR front. Only one character? No name changes? No LAN? If they keep this up, the 2nd and 3rd games will not sell very well. It will be interesting to see if they change their policies. But for now, the cons of this game outweight the benefits. Spend your money on something else.
