i think this is largely based on the fact that SC2 incorporates many of the rts improvements/advancements that we saw in wc3 in terms of being able to queue commands via holding the shift key, mbs, automine, and stuff like that. In general, wc3 players are use to that, and it will take bw players some time to adjust to it. | ||

I don't know what to do!!" and we'll all lose straight up, damn those wc3 players and their extra experience with extra apm, damn them all! | ||

Overall, I think SC2 is battle of the build orders, simply rock-paper-scissors. Because clearly when you take out micro and macro, all that's left is build orders? Clearly map awareness, timing sense, and general on-the-spot decision making don't mean anything? | ||

It's beta though so... no worries I hope. This In a large zergling battle on creep it's so hard to tell who's unit is who and what's going on (on the stream i was just watching). Maybe it's due to quality, or maybe just cause im not used to it. Only time will tell. | ||

PvP can be like that at times too when its zealot vs zealot. All th other matchups however I can tell whats going on pretty damn well. EDIT: on a side note I am seeing peoples minerals often spiking into the 1-2k range!!! So there clearly room to improve macro lol. I don't know what stream people are watching were someones had this easy perfect macro every game. | ||

Huge armies in one control group(less micro, less 1click2cick3click4click just to move around which is less multitask), multiple building selection(less macro, obvious reasons). It is MY opinion that the multitask for sc2 is significantly lower than sc1, hopefully a few betakey holders can confirm this. | ||

If you want to play SC:BW, go play SC:BW. I'm however extremely excited about this new game called Starcraft 2. It has features like cliff-walking and LoS emphasis. | ||
