I've only seen the trailers and I can say honestly say that it's actually awesome, albeit the latest one looks like a commercial for a movie and not a game.  But still, I'm going to get it.  Just not now because:

and I actually want to do well this semester.  But fighting the urge to get the game is so hard.

Is this game really good? Or is it something only hardcore fans will understand? I never played the original Starcraft.

Believe it or not though, I played the original Warcraft and Warcraft II... before the whole Warcraft franchise became analogous with internet addiction.
I also remember playing Duke Nukem, Doom II, and Dune.

What sort of game play does Starcraft II have?

RTS but to a bigger scale of warcraft, and instead of orcs u have aliens, instead of elves you have super teched up aliens and instead of humans u have HUMANS WITH GUNS.

Bought it yesterday. Installed but no time to play yet =|

Expect an add from me, /0 :D

But I suck majorly. I watch a lot of commentaries but I've never actually sat down and played a full game since SC1 came out.

PROTOSS ARE THE BIGGEST ****ING BULL****

NURDRAGE

Early game I have to protect against voidray rush at all costs, diverting resources from a possible stalker/blink rush. I have barely any mobility early game so they have free reign of the map, free to expand and stop my expansions. And if it gets to late game then I am royally screwed because immortal+colossus(+high templar) pretty much melts every combo I can attack with. Immortals kill all the heavy mech, and if I decide to attack them with infantry colossus just slaughter them in like 2 seconds. And of course high templar own everything with no exceptions. At least in SC1 you had to micro your templar individually, in SC2 you just go T+click, T+click, T+click etc. and you get perfect storm coverage.

emp > ht, immortals
vikings >>> colossus


I have to admit though tvp is my weakest matchup to the point where I just planetary fortress rush on scrap station and desert oasis (7 gas, pump scvs to 11/11 and build eng bay, load scvs and fly over when you hit 160 gas) because otherwise I will die to their first zealot/stalker push. I think i need to build more hellions. The zealots cut through my mass marauder with ease.

hmmmm yeah that is a pretty good counter to the ht and immortals, I didn't know ghost had emp haha... I should really become more familiar with the full range of units.

btw I wouldn't rely on hellions... they kinda suck unless you can build heaps. It's a pity they shoot in a straight line instead of splashing... it makes them useless if they get surrounded by melee (which is usually what happens). A good wall-in and a tank is usually enough for early rushes, and if they attack before you can get that then just repair xD

My usual build is a quick tech with tanks and vikings. With a wall-in it's almost impossible for them to rush you.
