Disclaimer: Please don't flame me for posting this as it is my first post in SCII forum and if this is considered "advertising" then I am truly sorry as I did not mean to do so.

Blizzard has officially made a Star Craft 2 Strategy Guide.
SCII strategy guide

Its currently only about $20(I once saw a $30 one so its pretty good price). I didn't see it anywhere so I thought it would be good to let you guys know if you want to know the lore of the story and/or trash review blizzard's strategy guide when SCII comes out. Please don't flame me for posting this as it is my first post in SCII forum and if this is considered "advertising" then I am truly sorry as I did not mean to do so.

Strategy guides are for people who don't know how to use Gamefaqs. It's just like people buying strategy guides on how to play MMO's people will be this, or friends/family of people they know that play Starcraft will buy this for them.

You have to remember blizzard still has a bottom line, to please the stockholders.

Why do you need a strategy guide when you have liquipedia? Even by watching the current streams and checking out the sc2 forums, you can already learn a lot about strategies, which have been tried over and over again. I would rather rely on the forum power in this case.

Guys, a strategy guide is typically aimed at single player. It would be kind of retarded to make one based on multiplayer. I mean they could list the basics, but the metagame is constantly shifting and it would be outdated in a few months.
Like what are they gonna do, hire some progamers to write it?
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I doubt it will have any lore, though I hope it will.WC2's strategy guide was awesome for lore, each of the missiion explanations were done in-character(except for the expansion ones). Reminds me that the manual for SC2 better bring the lore.

Strategy Guides were never really for the strategy, they are more of a novelty item.

And when it comes to StarCraft gamefaqs is for people who don't know how to use TeamLiquid.

It's going to be a fun read I am assuming, it's ridiculous how wrong the game developers often are about their game when making these guides and I am guessing it won't be different this time.

Ya I still got it as at my last birth day party one kid bought me the battle chest. He didn't know me very well at all but I had to accept it of course as I'm good mannered.

You really need a campaign walkthrough? If so then u suck because just about anyone can get through the campaign without cheating. I've done it 7 times now(streak).

edit: lol at poster above me

Did I ask for one? Or did I imply that TL isn't the place to come if you want to talk about SP?
