Just wait for Rock Band 3; it's going to cost as much as an entire console with all the new peripherals.

have you tried it yet? there's a small protoss arc midway. there are also upgrades that you can get for your supply depots so they arrive via drop pods and don't require build time. you don't even need to bother with them on the last few missions where you cap defaults to 200 from the start.

i'm at the final mission in the campaign right now (going to finish it once i log off from here) and i haven't played a pc game that's kept my interest this much since the original SC back in the late 90s.

as for the single player being split apart, yeah it's kind of lame but at the same time i think it was the easiest solution to get the bulk of the product out there. it was either release last week or not for another year or two. it's not like they have to re-invent the multiplayer for the next expansion, this way they can just focus on another interesting campaign.

my biggest gripe is that the single player gets you used to playing with X amount of units and building types then only offers you Y units and upgrades in multiplayer.

as for the idea that they 'wouldn't' have done things this way if it weren't for WoW? consider the amount of time and money they dumped into creating a Warcraft graphic adventure that got canned, or Starcraft Ghost - which got developed and scrapped - TWICE. all before they ever released WoW. they don't do things their way because they have a license to print money, they do things their way because it's how they're always run their company.

this sounds awesome. i was always a protoss man myself, simply because a drone could build unlimited things at once as long as you had pylons.

You don't need a good rig to play SC 2 do you? The original is one of the few pc games i played the **** out of just because my computer could run it.

looking forward to seeing the new CG cutscenes as well

i doubt you need that good of a rig for it. i run everything max 1280x1024 on a 2-3 year old computer. what are your specs?

This game is so badass, Mortal Kombat ain't got **** on this.

yeah the campaign is really nice, there's a lot of polish in place. quite impressed how every little detail lends itself to a much larger picture.

as for the specs the bottom of the box minimums are...

Windows XP with DirectX 9.0c
2.6GHz P4 or equivalent AMD processor
NVidia GeForce 6600GT or ATi Radeon 9800 Pro or better graphics (basically it needs shader 3.0)
12 GB hard drive space
1 GB ram

and yeah, the cutscenes are SWWWWEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt

Anyone who has a PSN account, send me your PSN name so I can send you a message that if you read it, I can get free money for PSN. If you do, I'll tell you how can get free money as well.
