No not at all, that feature allows you to install a legal copy of the game on your computer so the good folks at Blizzard know who you are.

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.

See, another feature!
I personally am going to wait for the SC2 Battle Chest as I like the campaign side of the game more than the multi player part.
Due to a technical difficulty, my copy is arriving this coming week but I have two friends who are playing it and they LOVE the campaigns. All the negative Nancies are just being silly.

The campaign is simply a tutorial to each type of unit (MArine/Thor/Seige Tank etc)and each mission type (escort/search and rescue/hold the line etc)with a lore backdrop. SC at its core will always be a multiplayer online game. If you buy SC JUST to play the campaign you are selling yourself short. It would be like buying a Ferarri and only using it to make trips to the grocery store.
the box version comes with 2 guest passes that i will probably never give to anyone. do you want me to send you the code so you can try it out a bit quicker?
I'm good. I never said I wasn't going to play online. Neither of my friends played original SC so they are going through the campaign. I probably will go through it a bit too but there will be online games. My copy should be here today or tomorrow. 
If I was to play online, even if I haven't shared my Real ID with anyone, would the other players be able to see my real name/email address/etc?
So far I'm only like 3 missions into the campaign, and may stick to campaign depending on this Real ID bs.

I think the only ones that see your real name are people on your friends list and your friends friends. AND for someone to add you to their friends list, they need to know the email address associated with your battlenet account. So if you are careful with who you friend (ever moreso than you are on MFC Amber lol) the pool of people that know your name should be small. ALso you don't have to be "friended" to play with someone.
The only ones that know mine are my cuz, my bro, and his fiancee ( and their battlenet friends)
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.

wc3... I dunno.. I always flash back to all night doom2 co-op sessions with Ozzy blaring int he background.. Or I remember a wc2 game one night that lasted over 6 hours 1on1... Those were the days..
Hell anyone remember gaming on DWANGO systems when 14.4 modems were top of the line? lol
I remember staying up all night playing Diablo 2 and being stupidly tired in class the next day.
No Starcraft II love for me yet but tomorrow is when it was estimated it would arrive anyhow so yay!

8 gig? Oh noes! How is that ever going to fit on my hard drive? Oh wait... I'll still have 300 gigs free AFTER the installation.
There are so many games out there that are meant to have both single player and multi-player portions and this is definitely one of them. I think what Freq's point involving multi vs. single player in SC2 is that the campaigns, while good for some basic knowledge on units, their abilities, what you can build when, and very basic strategy is not what the majority of people will focus on in the game and most would not consider it worth the money for the game alone. Most RTS games fall into this same area though where the people who get the most out of the game are the ones who play it for the online multi-player aspect.
Keithy, why you got so much beef against this game, man?

I wouldn't say I have a lot of beef with the game, after all I bought the CE on launch day. I'm just rather pissed that all this crap is becoming normal for games. They take away the rights of the gamers. Hell I didn't even BUY the GAME. I shelled out $60+ for a non-transferable LICENSE to use the game. The game connecting to the internet while I'm playing offline single player is bullshit. The game requiring me to go online before I can even install it is bullshit, especially since it doesn't recognize when I'm online. No LAN play? Bullshit. Releasing one game as three games? Bullshit. Connecting to the internet for offline play? Bullshit.
The point of mentioning it's 8gigs is not that it's a huge file size, but rather if the game is made for playing online and the campaign is just a tutorial, they could have fit the whole thing on there for 8gigs instead of splitting the game into 3 releases.
Also: Fuck the game being 8 gigs, watch this movie and then look at the file size for an hour: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/video/64

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.

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.

My APM is slow as hell. I jokingly tell people it's because I am not Korean but it's mostly because I don't try to be awesome. I just have some fun playing games with friends. I don't do random games so much for the same reason I avoid most FPS games and PvP on WoW. Cocky douchebags who think they're the greatest because they just "pwned" you.
And I am really apprehensive about the Activision thing too. I view Activision similarly to how I display EA. They put out so many different games they eventually get some winners.
