I know the previous videos are not a clear representation of what's to come in future, but it's hard to imagine that kind of micro being done with what I've seen.
I like the adjustments so far, so props to you Blizzard.
Even from the gameplay videos at the WWI on normal speed, it looks like the units are even more responsive than they were in Starcraft 1. Starcraft 1 there was a slight bit of lag between your command and the units' movement (even in single player). In the gameplay video, they moved immediately.
When ppl first started playing SC they didn't micro like that either... course everyone was so new to the game But yeah... shouldn't SC2's micro system be a little bit different compared to BW's

12:43 - 12:26 I laughed my ass off at the recall insta death.
I'm sure SC2 will have good micro, even WC3 has good micro. The problem with WC3 is that it has a low supply limit and focuses too much on hero abilities. Blizzard already said they'll keep SC2 at 200 supply, so no problem there.
But don't assume that it won't. You can't know this for sure. You've never played it, and you don't even know the majority of what will be in the game. We've only seen a little bit of the game, and virtually no real gameplay. We haven't even seen how units will interact in a micro-intensive situation.

No, the problem with WC3 is that everything on the screen feels like it's trudging through a swamp. Everything moves so sluggishly all the time. Nothing seems to respond quickly, imo.
Watching pro WC3 matches is great, but playing WC3 just sucks.
Honestly, anyone in this forum that thinks starcraft 2 has no micro, really needs to go die. If anything, it will require more micro than in SC:BW because of all the new spells / units / terrain type / transforming terran units etc.

Do you read before you post? No one said anything about Sc2 having no micro.
