Wonder why they made it Terran-only :/ Wouldn't it make more sense to let new players try all the races instead of just the one in campaign?

They can watch, how to play as all races in replays

I would have preferred it if they'd made it so you can only play random and not race pick, but still pretty awesome for people who want to try sc2 out

So that's what that was. It's a smart move to try and draw new players in, but I can't help feel blizzard has better things to address than putting together a starters pack like this. Please give your existing customers some love before trying to hook more in. T_T


Yeah well, as long as I agree with you that they have better things to address, but it's probably not that hard to do, and they have many different teams working on the game.. A team can be working on this "starters pack" while another team is working on multiplayer replays watching, and adding destructible rocks to season 4 maps.

Anyway I think it's a good idea, and it'll help me get some more nerds addicted to sc2

It has probably been said but this is obviously Blizzard secret evil plan to foster more terran players.

you know you may be onto something 90% of the time when i ladder i get matched against the zerg maybe instead of balance changes they think this may be the way to get people to play one of the underplayed races only wish they did this for protoss too because we arent doing much better in numbers TT

Well, if that's a 'secret' than I'm a tyrannosaurus rex with erectile dysfunction AND hemorrhoids.

Oh, I didn't notice this right away as I only read what was available but what?! hahaha

"How to bring even more terran players in an already terran filled ladder? Oh, let's make a free version with only terran as a playable race!"

-_-

I loved the idea of the free version, but only terran just ruined it...

I assume that as a replacement for the demos, the drophackers on ladder will lessen
