 I've got the official beta, so I haven't played the AI.

 It's quite slow.
 It's pretty
 They still haven't stacked minerals
 Supply depots that sink into the ground are cool
 Reapers mean the end of bunkering up early in the game, so not altogether a 
bad thing.
 Thor units look impressive.

  I still prefer Broodwar though.

How's the new battle.net? It has an in-game contact list like Steam,
not so?

Does it have selectable region gateways or does it autodetect?

 So far it autodetects and finds you a match based on your points average. 
No idea what Steam is so I can't help you there.

It better have selectable regions, otherwise half the people I know
won't get to experience the awesome power that is me.

Like two thirds of the Americans I've talked to these last couple of
weeks that are gamers are apparently playing the beta. I call some
massive shenanigans.

How about built command queing (like the ones found on WarCraft), or
is it something that is still non-existence in SC II?

No selectable gateways, supposedly won't be at launch either, will be
patched in later post-release together with the awesome
totally-new-for-2010 feature known as chat channels.

If you're in the beta and want to play with US peeps, make sure to
sign up with US as your locale (it will work ok without any proxy
magix even if you're an euro in reality).

I don't know if it's just the early metagame or what, but SC2 seems
very "all-in". You lose a battle, you lose the game, since due to the
new gay mechanics the defender's advantage is almost non-existant.

I also feel the Tier 1.5 units (roaches/Marauders) are ridiculously
strong for what they are and end up dictating the early gameplay too
much with their presence. There's not that much variation in BOs
currently, hopefully that changes as the game evolves & gets patched.

Stalkers are made of paper and fucking suck. Templar tech being split
to two buildings sucks cock. Storm is useless, looks cool but does
like 5 damage and hits in an area smaller than the nail of my thumb
:v. Archons are terrible and not good against anything, (then again so
are ultras too). Toss anti-air sucks fucking cocks.

Chrono boost is super cool. So is that Sentry thingy with its
forcefield thing. Colossus is pretty neat except gets raped pretty
easily if you're not careful. Nerf immortals and move them to the
gateway instead of robo plz kthx.


Also, this thing barely fucking runs on my computer. I'm playing with
everything way down :v

In conclusion, Protoss is lame.

The game makes my framerate drop too if there's a ton of crap on the
screen at the same time. Then again I'm playing on (almost) max
settings.

Sounds pretty lame.

What kind of computer are you using? I hope you are not using the same
machine (well maybe you've added some RAM) as you did when we played
vanilla SC :p

My computer is about 2 years old, but my video card is spanking new
and could feed your family for a year.

I have a crappy 4-year old dual P4 2.8 GHz and a terrible ATI X850
pro. I play with most settings on low :V.

 1v1 games play just fine for me, but in some 2v2s and FFAs (lol) when
there's lot's of shit going on (hello 200 food zerg army vs a 200 food
toss one with billions of storms and other shit going off) I get like
5 fps and have to wonder where the fuck my army disappeared once the
shitstorm is over.
