That's not a bug, that's a "feature"

What about having to go online to install the game off a disc? That's got to be a bug.

ACTUALLY that's not completely true. While the terran missions are the only ones that really *count* you do play through the memories of Zeratul so you end up playing as Protoss a bit. While it technically doesn't provide progress to your campaign or count towards the points needed for some of the upgrades, it is something to break up the ALL TERRAN ALL THE TIME feel of playing through the campaigns.

So far I'm only like 3 missions into the campaign, and may stick to campaign depending on this Real ID bs.
AmberCutie said:I don't intend to share my Real ID with anyone at all. heh. Funny enough, playing a few missions of SC2 make me want to bust out my discs for WC3.
Mirra said:When I started installing mine, it said it would take 12 gigs but it's only 7.7 gigabytes. How odd. Of course it is patching now so it may be even closer to 8 once it is done... but not 12. :-\
On top of all that, I don't mind paying $60 one time for the ability to play SC2:WoL with my b.net account. I am curious to see if each expansion will be another $60 which seems a bit insane since at that point, you'll just be paying for campaigns and nothing will change as far as multi-player I would assume.
Serge said:Fallout 3 is single player only, has about the same amount of single player content as SC2:WoL, and cost $60 when it came out. GOTY.
Starcraft 2 gives you the multiplayer with ALL races no matter which "chapter" of the single player you purchase. Somehow this is a ripoff?
The pricing of each of the installments of SC2 doesn't bother me (though it might if activision has their way with blizzard's pricing strategy). What bothers me is the DRM, the "online authentication", the terrible implementation of user-made custom maps, and the fact that there's no multiplayer option to select "I've never played SC2 before, please don't smoosh me!". Most of the people on this board don't even know what APM means, let alone how to get a high APM count.
Frankly, as much as I love SC in general, and REALLY want SC2, I'm going to wait for a price drop.
Edit - forgot to say, a lot of those complaints of SC2 have a familiar, unholy flavor. I sense the taint of bobby kotick and activision on this one.
