You still have to remember to do everything that was present in BW. The exception is that you have 1-2 less steps involved with actually making those habits work. Best example lies within worker production, and of course, limitless control groups.

An average person does not look at mineral gathering and proclaims, "Wow, that's cool." Chronoboost, on the other hand, is interesting because its a choice that affects gameplay. They're both based off of the economy. Players are permitted to focus on more exciting elements in general.

Glass-half-full says the game has less busywork and more audience-oriented elements.

Most people have no idea when they speak of "Noob friendly".

Single player, sure, it's noob friendly. But none of my friends can get out of the bronze division because it's hard for them.

No matter how many times I tell them to build more scv's or give them the basics on how to macro, they never learn.

I don't think it's any easier then SC1 in terms of PvP.

No, if you magically froze IdrA and WhiteRa you would NOT see random diamond players rise up to their skill in 2-3 months. You have no idea how much better they are than you.



Well, froze as in, they didn't get better or froze as in they couldn't play for 3 months and got their skill severely depleted? If the latter, I could see it.

meh i think the easier it is for the n00b, it'll just be that much more easier for the pro to crush the n00b. and to whoever said it terran was the weakest race in BW
Nada - most awarded player
Boxer - most respected player
Flash - most skilled player

all terrans from bw

what i think makes terran more potent now is that now they dont have to wait for tier 2 to deliver a powerful punch cuz of the marauder. i actually hate the marauder for this. i always liked the skill it would take a terran to turtle get tanks up and slowly try to creep over to their opponent. this game terrans just mass rauders and 1a move and it makes me sad

There is definitively a much easier learning curve for a noob in this game than its predecessor. The skill ceiling is a totally different matter, one that I'm not skill enough to speak about.

If it is more noob friendly isn't that a good thing? People will be less intimidated to play the game, then maybe be interesting in tournaments n stuff.
