Somehow Starcraft loses it's appeal unless I know I'm battling wits against a real human being and not a pre-scripted challenge. It's the same mindset that makes me hate grinding in RPGs.

The cheating will certainly depend on how difficult the game is. I think people will cheat significantly less than they did in SC1/BW due to a mixture of more experienced players and difficulty levels. SC1's campaign is easy now but back then everyone was a big newb. If you don't wall in your base on the UED mission where you need to capture the Overmind for example the hero Ultralisk Torrasque will screw you over.

Yeah your right I know I struggled to beat the last few levels in BW but I never cheated, the only game I can remember cheating on was Balduers Gate (Used online guide) that game was the hardest game I have ever played

Yes. Difficulties below normal are for your grandmother; normal is for people with little or no RTS experience. If you know what a control group is, you should be playing on harder than normal, and even Insane is unlikely to seriously challenge anyone who was platinum/diamond in beta.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Obviously you guys haven't read Day[9]'s visit to Blizzard HQ

Quoting from the linked article:
"Day[9] is impressed because he feels like he actually has to really try and focus to beat the mission.

Day[9] eventually loses again, but he thinks that the campaigns are awesome"

-In the original single player, none of the missions were challenging in any regard, but this is very challenging.


Sure it won't be like facing a human opponent but I doubt that it will be a cakewalk.
Madness is a sane reaction to an insane world.

It wont be like human but the computer can cheat so they could make it so hard it is unbeatable. Day9 said he was playing on insane if I remember correctly. My personal plan is start on brutal and fight my way through

So people are actually going to go on battle.net (or the internet in general) before completing the campaign completely? Enjoy your spoilers.

I don't know why it would be better to play against the hardest difficulty first, maybe something harder than normal if normal is too easy. Day9 was probably playing a early to middle mission in the campaign and of course the missions will probably get harder. If you have to do repeat plays because of difficulty than your first play on a hard difficulty is similar to someone else playing on normal to get the hang of it.

Expect the person who played it on normal will have played the campaign twice and seen different aspects of the campaign. Remember the game has branching choices, like save the colonists or not as shown in the campaign demos and you can choose a different technology usage the second time around.

Well I am super excited for the story. I have mixed feelings about what difficulty level I'll choose. Brutal would be a good good challenge for me... buuut I am probably not good enough to squeeze every juiiiicy lore detail out of the campaign >> Leaning to doing Brutal for the first round.

Definitely looking forward to SP. I'll prob play on Insane just to lengthen the experience. If it's at or slightly above the Hard difficulty on WC3 that should be about right.

I hope the Insane difficulty will be hard because it requires constant aggression from the player to the point of irresponsibility. That style of hard is always more fun than the "hold off ridiculous amounts of forces until you gather big enough army to roll computer" style of hard which is more common and easier to create.

My life for Aiur! Oh that isn't what this is about. I'm looking forward to the Protoss one because it's the last piece of the campaign. (and I'm a Protoss player. Oh was that unexpected?) I will play SP first and then switch between 'em

deffinitely smash the single player first, ive played the beta and will be playing more in second phase hopefully so i will have had adequate amount of multiplayer when the game is released, but i'll be transitioning between the two before i finnish the story line, probably start it on normal but if its un-enjoyably easy then i'll bump it up a notch.

I think there's a few reasons for that. For starters, I can't stand to final get to play the game and need to go through 5 "this is how you makes marines with a barracks" style levels before you're even able to start playing decent levels.

I've spent a lot of time in the beta practicing the "real" part of the game, I definetely want to be able to play some 1v1 the second I get SC going.
