To insult the intelligence of the people who's opinion differs from your own on the preference of a video game is absolutely ridiculous. It simply makes your argument look like a resentful lash out at SC2 as a opposed to a credible argument. I think it's premature to draw drastic conclusions of the longevity of the game in relation to it's predecessor. I loved SC : BW, and still do. I watch all the pro matches and follow the leagues. I also enjoy SC2, as do ALOT of respected members of the TL community. Both games have a lot of differences, and I like them both for a lot of the same and a lot of different reasons. | ||

to say anything that you're not #1 at is easy is just stupid. | ||

I'd say kicking a ball into a square is quite "noob friendly" aswell yet here we just had WGs in football/soccer. It's what you make of it. | ||

You can queue up units in BW to make macro easier, but as everyone knows, it is not optimal. Hotkey groups moved clumped. Having a 200 food army clumped in not optimal in so many situations in SC2. | ||

SC2 won't plateau, but like idra said, the skill level of the top players is going to be extremely close thanks to the mechanical aspect being thrown out. In a sense I think it's 'too easy' for the top rather than 'too noob friendly'. The features that are making it easier for noobs to get into the game are also limiting the skill ceiling for top gamers. | ||

it's just awesome that, no matter what your skill level, blizz has made an attempt to have you matched up against people who are around your skill level and will provide you with an interesting challenge. | ||

Its Blizzard, they dont give a fuck bout eSports, they just want money. And what better then a very loooooong awaited sequel that is very appealing and simple for new users to get into. | ||
