I got beta invite a day or two ago and have been playing every chance I get. SUPER fun so far!
They’ve basically taken SC1 and perfected it by enhancing unit function and doing an obvious UI makeover. As far as balance concern I have no doubt Blizzard will pull it off. I’ve only played a few games, all of which were against fairly easy opponents so it’s hard to say where balance stands at the moment.
As stated, they’ve increased the unit count AND unit function in really innovative ways that open up the game to a whole new world of strategy compared to SC1. Bottom line, I’m having a blast with this one. I’ll keep you updated on my experience and maybe post some replays/videos.
For those of you in beta my name is bananatron.com tavulol.com (com is the suffix thing)
EDIT: For those of you here from SC2B or are just interested in my SC2 hooplah, go to the new and improved TAVULOL.com.
