Nope. Unit commands are responsive, pathing is near perfect and models are pretty slick. Maybe you're experiencing some lag issues, especially if you're playing on SEA.

Increased resolution, higher dpi requirement and smaller units.

Also there is more frames in unit movement behavior so you need to watch out more and its harder to distinguish whats happening.

Then I really don't know why you feel that way. SC2 is super slick.

But it could also be some sort of "lag". I noticed that after format boxing units and general responsive felt more slick.

It looks more like self-advertising to me.

Anyways, UI wise there is no difference between BW and SC2 UI though since BW usually uses LAN latency while SC2 uses a unified 200ms latency to prevent lag from influencing the game, it might feel different for the unit control.

In any case, this isn't even trolling.Who am I trolling? TL browsers? If anything, it's self-advertising at worse.

So what's your point?

I cant agree with you OP.

SC2's gameplay is way smoother than Brood War's. Also like somebody already mentioned, the pathfinding is almost perfect.

They have admittedly done an excellent job with the 3d engine, used in a game that runs best on a 2D engine.

My only gripe about the feel of SC2: It's sometimes hard to judge air unit distances from certain angles. Also, enemy cloaked units are almost impossible to see, unlike Brood War where you saw a quite distinct blur.

I definitely know what you're talking about =)
I think it's the forced latency.

Azera that default picture on your stream is freaking me out a bit. Uhmm...you wouldn't mind changing it would you ? Maybe to a nice pretty flower or something?? That guy's head is so huge, and the way he's riding a miniature rocket while he bites his lip, I don't know its just kind of unsettling.

The ping delay is what does it. Play a game vs a bot in singleplayer and see if you still feel the same. The delay feels really long to me in multiplayer :/

Self advertising yay.

But to respond to the fluff part have you tried dropping all the graphics to lowest to remove the visual clutter / textures? I find that between that and setting a steady FPS I was able to follow everything that was going on much smoother.
