The Replicant would totally break the game, and I'm glad they cut it. They removed the Shredder as well, which is great.
But I'm not too confident in what Blizzard is doing, I fear they will totally break the metagame and the little balance left in the game.

My race has been getting the short end of the stick for a while now so this is just par for the course. They let the wow balance team fubar this one to the moon and back.
So no, not really looking forward to it. I would like to see multi and sp separated tho. It'd be nice to finish the campaign on the cheap at least.

i hope blizzard doesn't get too big for their britches. i feel like they've been overstepping their bounds recently while living off past glory
Cool all I cared about was the zerg campaign.....
Unfortunately I no longer do....split game into three games charge full price for each and require the previous game to install the following.... sorry but fuck that shit.

MLG? I'd rather fry my eyes out with branding irons.
Heart of the Swarm? Maybe in 6 or so years when they decide to package the complete game together for one reasonable price rather than in three parts for full retail (or there about) each.
I wonder if we'll see something that will justify such a protracted release schedule that doesn't elude to greed and fleecing.

Can't wait to go to Spring Championship. I've already played HoTS at Blizzcon and with the talk of all the Brood War players its going to be a great weekend.

there's 26 campaign missions in Wings of Liberty and they run about 20-30 minutes average plus custom map single player missions. you also get access to all the races for multiplayer. compare that with SC that had 10 missions per race. while SC2 has 4 campaign missions less, the original was mainly 2D CGI and the engine was also 2D sprites. SC2 has more cinematic cutscenes as well as the in-game engine itself.
i despise capcom's DLC methods, but i feel the production value makes the pricing both justified as well as reasonable in this circumstance. WoL is 26 missions, HotS will be 20, and LotV will also be 20, making for 66 missions total, each expansion will also be adding in new units. this is completely different from capcom arbitrarily locking 25% of the content on the disc and then charging you $120 on top of the $60.

SC1 also came out over 10 years ago so there is no reason for Blizzard to dick around like this. They added graphics and a few new unit which ended up sucking anyways. SC2 is a major letdown. Even the South Koreans who loved the first don't like this one either.

Well, some people are okay with having their wallets milked for a full experience, some are not. Some people will blindly accept whatever excuses a company give for doing said milking, again, some are not. I happen to fall into the "not" demographic in both cases. Shame on me for not wanting my wallet bled by conspicuously greedy publishers.

@pocky Not since grade school, no.
Personally, I feel as if SCII is easily worth my $60. When people buy a new Assassin's Creed every year and don't complain, it's hard to argue against what Blizzard is doing.

I enjoyed starcraft II, which apparently is unpopular to say. Anyway, theres really no reason to complain about splitting the campaign. The campaign was ridiculously long and well crafted (even if the story was kind of lame). You won't be paying full price for the expansions (30 each I'd guess?), and will be getting fairly long campaigns out of them as well. All in all we're getting more fulfilling and complete campaigns for each race, rather than a brief 10 mission one for each race. I'm fine with that. Multiplayer balance may be an issue with the game, but the singleplayer campaign was fine.
