I fear the servers may be a bit funky the first days after release so I guess Im going for SP first, waiting for the crazyness of the first days to stop then go to MP and SP if i am tired of it or because the SP might be really good and I wanna finish it.

Ill take a look at insane, if I find it a bit stupid and it requires to abuses I ll lower the difficulty. But I like a challenge to help increase my speed and precision.

Best to play Normal first, then go for a higher/highest difficulty.

Anyone got a FAQ/link about the difficulty levels? I have never heard of them before.

I figure I'll get around to the SP campaign eventually, i do want to know the story, but overall I'm 99% concerned with the MP side.

Campaign first ! I am really curious about the sp. Probably finish it before playing mp depends on how long it takes me.

Although I am really looking forward to the WoL campaign and being a protoss player to LotV, I really want to see how will they make HotS's interface and how will they represent the whole zerg feel.

gotta play through at least once for the storyline, even though sc's storyline is weak compared to alot of newer games

What the fuck?

Starcraft has an awesome story line, how dare you trashtalk like that

Even though the SC1 campaign wasn't that fun to play through the actual storyline was awesome.

I'll probably go through SP one time on a moderately challenging difficulty, pulling some all-nighters. Then I'll redo it on the highest difficulty and go back and forth between SP and MP

with multiplayer I'm more of a 2v2 guy so I'll probly be focused on singleplayer except for when one of my friends is on. Protoss player so I'm looking forward to their campaign most, but also because it's the last one it will probably have a sweet ending. Difficulty I'll go with normal first because I'de rather experiance the story without excessive difficulty the first time, ill probably go through a second time at some point on the hardest difficulty for a real challenge.

I like multiplayer games a lot, but I love single player campaigns, simply because of the stories and all of the really unique and interesting situations that the developers can put you in, so I will probably play most of the campaign first and then dabble in the multiplayer.

The single player mode is going to be awesome I'm certain, and I think it will be a breath of fresh air after the Beta marathon that we'll all be undergoing (although is it possible to get bored of a game as dynamic as Starcraft 2 multiplayer?).

Also, as a Mac user, I haven't been able to tool around on the Galaxy Editor yet, so I'm really looking forward to that as well. In all honesty, I will probably mix in a bit of everything that Starcraft 2 has to offer at the beginning, just enjoying what 12 years of patience has brought us. I love Starcraft, and there isn't a single aspect of the second installment that I'm not looking forward too!

On a side note, does anyone know how much time is going to be placed between the release of the different campaign modes? A year? Six months? Also, has anyone heard any rumor on what each installment (HotS and LotV) will cost?

Play single player all the way through then move on to Multi is the way to go in my opinion. Even if there are alot of levels I think its worth the time to play it through and get the single player achievements then work my way through the online Multiplayer ones. Of course working your way to diamond if it still exist at launch lol.

I'll play single player to start. I've always prefered the Zerg, so I will play their campaign first if that option is available. I never seen SP as being a source to improve my game. There are a lot of modified units and scenarios in there that arn't at all comparable to MP. I always pick the hardest difficulty even though it can be frustrating. I always get a nice sense of accomplishment afterwards (nerdalert).

Thats why I said I wasn't sure, but if you looked at peoples profiles during the most recent patches of beta, below thier stats it randomly had completed campaign difficulty then one of these 5 levels and they have stated there will be 5 levels no link though.

Also adding poll to OP now: Will you cheat?

Going to beat the single player first, then beat it on brutal for the challenge.

In games I am really pumped about, I always play one difficulty up from normal. I don't really care about getting a ridiculous challenge out of singleplayer games. In fact, I generally don't ever want to die or lose unless I make a big mistake and really deserve it.

In 90% of games, one step up from Normal gives me that difficulty. Normal tends to be "hard enough that you won't feel like the n00b you are".
