What are you going to do when SC2 comes out? Obviously some people are going to buy it immediately and others aren't... but I'm assuming most of you are going to get it right away or shortly thereafter so I won't account for this in the poll.

Poll: When SC2 Comes Out I Will

Play the single player campaign (139)

Start playing ladder/placement matches (48)

Feel free to explain your reasoning. It's still a bit early to answer this question since we haven't even seen everything that should be available during beta... but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Personally, + Show Spoiler +
As someone who was in the beta I'm going to take advantage and get myself into a platinum league really quickly (insert joke about how I'll end up in copper), then check out the level editor! Can't wait to see how powerful it is and I'm praying it isn't extremely difficult to use... and that there is sufficient support documentation. Maybe it will be released during beta in which case I'll change my plans I guess. Also, I will meet up with my sc1 friends who aren't in the beta and show them 'around'.

If I do get SC2, then I will probably play the ladder since my mapmaking skills suck and I am not a big fan of the campaign. Although if it does come out, I am not sure if I'm going to buy it anyways...I'm currently in Beta but I still don't know if I want to play it competitively or not.

Campaign all the way, on the hardest difficulty they'll have.
I haven't decided yet if I'm going to get CE or regular, but seeing what's inside the CE, I'm leaning towards regular.
I'm not in the beta, but I play vs AI.

Single player mostly, laddering to a lesser extent. Story still comes first to me, no matter how competitive I might be at that point.
I am playing the SC2 Beta, yes.
Normal edition for me only, I don't bite into the "omfgsoveryspecialjust4youedition" crap.
Complete the cycle!

Well, I've laddered a lot in beta... so... hm. I don't know, but I'm looking forward to the campaign a lot. I might just start laddering and save the campaign for a "rainy day".

I'm excited for the campaign. Hoping it will be really fun. And of course I've already had a taste of the multiplayer from beta. So for me, I'm definitely going to dive into the campaign.

Then I guess I'd start smashing newbie souls.

Buy the game and not play it for a while?
seems kind of contradictory if you ask me

I definitely will give the campaign mode a shot first
and in between ladder matches :D

I'll be headed to multiplayer pretty much as soon as I open the program. I always play the campaigns of games later on. I just can't wait to start playing some games against people. I'll return to the campaign at a later date when I have nothing really to do and a lot of time to waste, so that I can just play it all (or a lot) of the way through.

I'm going to beat the campaign in 1-2 days and then start playing online! can't wait!

The campaign sounds really fun, old sc1 units and upgrades you can't get in multiplayer, plus what I'm sure is a great plot and scenarios/environments that are unique to the campaign as well.

i have, got shafted into gold by some gay speedling cheese in the first reset, but got out

i seriously enjoy playing bw more than sc2. its just more micro intensive, and macro is actually more fun (than ddd-tab-aaaaaaaaa-tab-dd)

plus i have location keys

I'm going to rush to create some kind of mod with custom assets... I don't have any good ideas for games yet, though, I just want to make shit in 3D and play around with it in the SC2 engine, heh. I hope the editor is released before the game.

probably start with multi player just to get into as low of a platinum division as possible. Then just play campaign between multiplayer games when i get pissed at how imba the other races are.

Don't have a beta so I doubt I'll touch the campaign for weeks. I'm pretty interested in how the plot has developed from SC1, but without the beta I'm so far behind everyone else I just won't feel right unless I put all my effort into ladder ;D

For me I doubt I'll even touch the single player for months. In BW it was a looong time before I even tried the campaign. Plus there's the fact that I don't have beta, have yet to have played SC2 even once, so I'll be too excited NOT to jump right online.

Rush to the map editor and make a money map.
Just kidding.

Probably campaign and then some ladder but nothing too serious.

This. I have been planning a hardcore campaign gaming session for the release of sc2. I am going to lock myself down and try to finish the campaign before sleeping.

I'm going to start the campaign initially, but in between missions I'm going to be playing around with the campaign editor. After I'm done that I'll probably get in on the laddering.

Play campaing as i hadn't got into beta it would be just bad idea to go multiplayer without had test the units, builds, etc.

Will beat the campaign first and wait until some of my friends get the game. That might take a while, so I might start laddering right away afterward.

Assuming it comes out sometime during the summer (eg I'm not in school), I'll go to the midnight release, take the next day or two off of work and go all the way through the campaign. Then I'll start doing team games with friends; maybe try laddering when I can be bothered.
