    I think it is good, I enjoyed playing the campaigns of the first one. If it is released as 3 separate games, then there will be 3 full game length campaign instead of three 1/3 game length campaigns.

    Greetings!
    I do believe the triology concept is good. For Blizzard.

    I only play Starcraft for the multiplayer - so for me this isnt that exciting unless they release a couple new units for each side - per expansion. I'll only buy the first part otherwise.

    It seems that you get to play all races for multi-player and only one race per expansion, so for the people who just play bnet it's still a good buy.

    I'm still a little vexed that blizzard decided to go this route as I did enjoy the race campains. I just hope this really delivers.

    You and George Lucas should get together and talk about Star Wars Episode 1, 2 and 3. I hear that was a "good concept" too... :worried:

    Allow me to demonstrate:

    I'm not looking forward to this anymore.

    I guess I want Diablo 3 more, anyway.

    So basically, they have only really written the Terran campaign, and that STILL isn't finished - when what they should be focusing on is the multiplayer as that is what everyone is waiting for (really, once you had played the single player campaign from SC1, did you replay it again & again...no)

    So they are gonna rush up the multiplayer balance to fit the release date with the completion of the terran campain so they can get the game out and stop people losing interest - Probably leaving Zerg half finished & Protoss woefully unbalanced - Then, forget about it for another decade or two and release a half-arsed Zerg/Protoss fix/campaign once people have stopped paying for the privalige of playing the game online that they already paid for and are expected to pay for another two times! *breathe*

    This makes me REALLY mad...SC1 is my favorite game of all time, when they said they were doing SC2 I nealy fainted with excitement - all they had to do was make SC1 with better graphics, overhaul the interface and units & add/replace some new units (which up to now is what they have done, and it looks REALLY good)- EVERYONE (nearly) would have been happy with that, REALLY, if I have to buy the game 3 times to get all the multiplayer units and for them to have the balance just right (& 3 campaigns I will only play once) I am gonna be mad...take a leaf out of COD4's book - single player campign great, but short, to the point, played it once, now I cannot stop playing online, really I'm addicted - that's where they will sell copies, not through campigns, through addictive multiplayer action (& no-ones gonna play if they have to pay MORE to go online & the two non-focus races are unbalanced/crap)- I can't help but feel they are neglecting that to add the single player...

    ...I am very very very cross.

    starcraft had a brilliant single player game when orginally released nomod though

    I like the idea 30 + single player missiions per disk

    for what is basically pocket money to some kids these days

    if you cant aford £30 a year what are you doing in pc gaming

    as this isnt the place for you

    please leave now

    Door that way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    i'm getting tired of being bummed for cash when it comes to buying games, i have to admit. just because blizzard can get away with it for world of warcraft seems to make them think they'll get away with it for anything.

    my interest in starcraft 2 wasn't that high to begin with. now i know i'll not bother. i'm still looking forward to diablo 3 though... until they (probably) mess that up as well, urgh.

    :confused: Er thanks...lol...ok, so i ranted a bit when I found out they were splitting it...

    I have plenty of money for buying games (and probably many other titles I'll wanna buy than SCII) I just don't see why I should buy the same game 3 times to get all the multiplayer stuff, which is primarily what I am interested in...so please don't just flame me like some kid just coz I vented my opinion a bit, I never said the single player was bad, I played, loved it, but I wouldn't play it twice. Maybe they should also release the multiplayer game as a download at a reduced price so those who like the MP can play it without having to pay £90! Seeing as how we are probably gonna be expected to pay for online play too...

    Did you pay for Broodwars? That enhanced multiplayer too you know. Now instead of having three small campaigns for each race, they have three full game campaigns for each race. Just think of them as expansions.
