I wouldn't say that a shorter campaign is a good thing. Personally, whenever I play a game campaign that ends in ~6 hours, I feel... bored. No, that's not it. Well, not exactly. But the fact of the matter is that those short campaigns end about where the game actually starts to fully engage you. It's a huge bummer, you get left with a "Was that all?" feeling. It diminishes the overall experience.

You have to keep in mind that I meant a shorter campaign in order to accomplish something more important. I love Starcraft's campaign, I really do, but I think that sustaining multiplayer's popularity is more essential to growing E-sports and the community. If Blizzard could do everything, keep a long campaign, and implement the multiplayer changes I talk about, then ya, that would be amazing. I only mentioned that point because I could live with the core 6-8 hour campaign (revolving around Raynor, Kerrigan, and Zeratul) in exchange for the other changes, if that sacrifice had to be made.
Please don't think that I would prefer a shorter campaign if it wasn't necessary.
