Some new information on starcraft 2.  http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/10/11/key-starcraft-ii-trilogy-details/

Just my initial observation... I think them splitting out the missions between the 3 races out into completely separate products is a really stupid idea.  For any new game that comes with *both* a single player and multiplayer aspect, I will play the single player mode as much to enjoy whatever story they have to tell, but also to get used to the game itself, the mechanics, the weapons or features, etc.

With COD4, when I played multiplayer initially, I was doing pretty bad.  After getting throught he single player portion, I noticed that I was doing a lot better.

With Starcraft I, the single player missions almost guided you through so you could learn the various units and they would normally force you to use just a few units at a time so you could get used to the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Unless they have some sort of totorial, only allowing you to play one race in the first release will make the learning curve for the protoss and zerg that much harder for people getting into it.

Agree?  Disagree?

Yeah Blizzard is betting that with as strong of a fan following that SC has, they'll be able to rake in the dough with this move. But still.. it's an incredibly stupid idea, IMO.

All 3 races are playable from the first disc. Saw that in an IGN article this morning. The 2 other discs will apparently add other multiplayer features.

Weiner Poopies FTW

Until all three are eventually released and get them all in one shot.

What subject? Waiting to buy all 3 until they are all on the market?

Oh I see... ROFL. Silly Tibs.

their nothing but expensive toilet paper... 

I think toilet tissue comes in packs much bigger then 3 packs Rathe.

back on subject...

right now... if you want to play starcraft, you have to ask... original or broodwar?  If everyone has the expansion, then we can play it and enjoy the added units.  There are some hardcore purists who still only want to play the original.  So a presidence had already been set 10+ years ago when Starcraft first came out.  However, expanding this situation between the main game and *2* expansions might add a lot of complexity.

if you boot up the game and have all three games installed, willl you be given a choice of which 'game' you want to play thus deciding which extra units you want to play with? Or will playing the 2nd expansion require the first?
