I never played co-op, team games or even the campaign for BW.
I always thought that 1v1 is the real game, and the rest is some kind of gimmick.
I can personally attest to this and I think it comes down to what you associate a game with generally. This is a weirdcomparison, but I remember hearing and being surprised years and years ago that like an overwhelming majority of Call of Duty players played just the campaign and not the multiplayer shenadigans it's most "known" for. I think because Starcraft as a franchise is so fundamentally dependent on the competitive side of itself, the other modes that many people more invested (including myself) don't really care for go under the radar. With that said I am very surprised about the fact that co-op specifically is the most played gamemode in SC2, thought it would have been the campaign or some custom map-related stuff if not 1v1.
I wonder if the people who just play co-op still tune into the tournament streams for DreamHacks and GSLs? Because (this is mega confirmation bias) I see a lot of reddit threads made about how people have watched a ton and played against AI but ranked seems like too big a mountain to climb.

Co-op is fun! I spend nearly all my SC2 time on ranked 1v1, but when I first came back after a multi-year hiatus, it was a fun way to get back into the mechanics. I've also played plenty of co-op with friends who are just barely getting into the game or are just ultra-casual.
What is this about 15 levels on 1v1 maps? 15 topographic levels? Somebody is going to make a Dante's circles of hell map and it's going to be ridiculous.

It would be amazing if someone made a reaper micro challenge map with all the different levels of terrain added.

Can someone tell me where I can see the new achievements that were supposed to be added to every missions of every campaign?
I might be blind, but I've not been able to see them, I did a mission as well in case they would only appear after doing the mission but no, nothing.
Thank you

In the Achievements menu in your Profile, there should be a category for 10th Anniversary, with subcategories in there for each campaign.

Have they broken the war chest? I noticed i hadn't got exp from the last couple games (i hadn't finished the second phase yet) and upon looking for it, it seems to be entirely gone from the UI. It's supposed to be running for 2 more months, last phase wasn't scheduled to be unlocked yet

I got really hyped up for the show at 2am and then they announced nothing lol
----
edit: I didn't change anything, but an hour later the war chest seems to exist again. Not sure what happened there! I definitely have an exp hole cause i should be maxed already but it works fine now

I have to say that this countdown is actually the worst non-balance thing they added into this game since the 12 worker start.

Why? Having some warning that the game is about to start (rather than possibly being 0.5 seconds or 90 seconds away from it starting and not being able to tell) is amazing.

Did they announce anything new in the Pylon Show?

It works really unintuitively and i would say that nobody has ever lost a game of sc2 because they were 1 second late with making their first worker. It's just really obnoxious.

I too believe it's going to completely change the meta in all matchups

It's amazing that a 10 year old game is receiving such a huge update. This means Blizzard still cares about the franchise and that there are developers still passionate about the project. Improvements to co-op and custom/arcade games should help even more in keeping the game alive for many years to come. Thank you Blizzard!
