So you starcraft players whats makes SC 2 so different from other RTS games?
Playing against other is fun via net, but all the other RTS games have that also, so what's the catch?
The thing that makes Starcraft extremely special, at least that was the case in version 1, was that with 3 completely different factions (different units and abilities, not just different models but same damage/health etc), Blizzard still managed to make the game INCREDIBLY balanced. And for an RTS with factions which have completely different units, thats practically impossible.
hydralisk spam > all. even zerg rush.
What makes SC2 a good game? The heritage, the story, the graphics, the gameplay (what zothar said). It has mostly everything for a good game, although i doubt it will pwn it's predecesor simply coz it's not so innovative anymore. But the 3 races have developed stuff that they really lacked (for ex the protoss accelaration thing was really needed).

Hellions > Hydra as Terran
and for Protoss Templar+Colossus > Hydra
those units cost alot and take alot to produce plus the fact that it takes some research to get to them.
Hellions can easily be pumped out though, with a factory with a reactor attached.
Hellions dosen't cost much as said, and as for the Protoss units, they cost allot but the damage they do are huge

Wait till SC2 3.0, and they'll all do the same, look the same, buff the same. Like some changes to some other blizzard game commonly known....

I doubt that.
From what glimpses we've seen of the thoughts of blizz dev team in Cata it seems like they give classes some unique abilities again, like earthquake, healing rain, PW barrier, green fire, leap (disc "deathgrip"). Making hpalas AoE heal more then GoHL I dont really think.
Tho, the "bring the player not the class/spec" is probs more implemented, and if this aint gonna be a QQ then I spose palas might get some AoE, like discs getting Pw barrier.
But before the SC ppl start QQing, lets not ruin this post with trolling.
We have to get some 2v2's going, since we have 5 people who are in the beta atm.

unique? lol
healing rain = tranquility? pw barrier (wannabe DK anti magic zone) , green fire = hello they had chaos bolt lol?, leap = disc DK grip. Dunno about the earthquake. So this is not unique.

Well, compared to how its now, atleast there are some new unique ones...
GG pala healing tho.. didnt see that coming...
WOW! i just got into the 2v2 random platinum, although i lost 3 out of the 5 matches, i was always on top of recources, units and structers!
New patch! Loads of new things! new maps, you can see achivments, and decals, and Voice chat is working in game now.
Also if you haven't seen the video for the single player of SC2 check it. Loads of cool stuff, like units that aren't in the mulitplayer, and a unique way of up grading your units and tech, simply looks amazing!
