Yes, the single player is like an adventure game with RTS missions.
And HOLY SHIT @ the jukebox music!

I'll be playing multi later, I guess.
SP runs pretty well on medium for me, but I'm sure I'll put everything on low in multi like I did for the beta.

I feel like the only person who doesn't have this (or plans to get it) I need to start Dawn of War 2 since I heard that is the best way to get into RTS games. |

And I dunno, SC2 has a bunch of stuff that can help ease you into it, Linkzg. I've been messing around with these "challenges" they have -- they introduce and teach players the rock, paper, scissors aspect. I'm sure the others help teach you other stuff too. |

yeah, I was expecting it to teach you a bit, but I still have trouble finding resource management and base building interesting. Dawn of War 2 is supposed to be more offensive and straight forward, and in general it sounds like a good way to get me back into the genre. Maybe I can get into Starcraft 2 when the trilogy is complete! |

well, the purchase from blizzard was pretty simple, props. Was expecting issues with a J-based credit card but nothing. Sad for DC but not that sad, really. Just in a sort of token polite sense, not anything that actually affects me on an emotional level  |

Maybe I can get into Starcraft 2 when the trilogy is complete! The single player campaign in Dawn of War 2 is practically a real time Diablo, while the multiplayer is your typical 'build bases, micromanage, etc' type of game. You still have to do things like move into cover and have proper position but it is a good primer if you have very little experience with RTS (which was my situation a few months ago). |

i wonder how high (if at all) this will place on the NPDs. mostly interested in seeing if a boxed PC game can crack the top 5. I think it probably will.

They track PC games separately don't they?
This'll probably be pretty box-copy heavy as maybe people didn't know about battlenet and being able to buy and download at will.
Since signing up for battlenet is essentially required and they'll get exposure to it, I would'nt be surprised if the next 2 campaigns get alot more DD business though.

How do I check for a guest pass?
Also, I'm pretty sure the guy that was in front of me to get his preorder at Gamestop was a Norteno. Even gangbangers want SC

You should've got 2 SC2 and 2 WoW Guest Passes in your boxed copy. Along with a stupid notepad.

My brother registered the game with his email, under my name; so now there are two accounts out there with my name attached to them. So it's not connected to my main account which has the rest of my games/betas, making real ID not work.
I doubt Blizzard will change this. Oh well, I can just give his email to people in other games I guess

vGcHaRtZ (  ) says it sold 1.8M copies in 24 hours I like this part: Breaking down the 1.8 million sales in the Americas and Europe, VGChartz estimates that around 31% or 570,000 units were sold digitally via Battle.net (obtained via a study of order numbers during the first day of sale) with the remainder coming from physical retail sales and 57% of total sales coming from the Americas with the remainder from Europe. who keeps that site afloat? |

I did one random 2v2 and lost because the guy I was teamed with didn't know how to play at all. Didn't expand and didn't build anything but a few marines.

And as always, remember I share the account with two brothers. They play more than me, and will usually tell you when I'm not on
I'm gonna call Blizzard and see if I can get them to change the email on the account from my brother's to my own, which has the rest of my Blizzard games/real ID. Should not have let him install the game smh

came into work this morning and found a guest pass sitting on my desk.
apparently one of the overnight guys was giving them out to people. seems like the guy who sits at my desk overnight didn't want it. i can activate it right now
but i'll be getting the game next week. i could probably beat it this weekend then end up having a paperweight next week
decisions.

Playing Optimo is depressing  I went in thinking "fuck it I'm going to lose, might as well try something else." So I used Idra's 14pool15hatch build, which I've actually been using a lot lately. It's dangerous and I haven't perfected it yet lol. Needless to say I got swamped in tanks soon enough |

Did my first real 2v2 match and my partner was Protoss against two Protoss. We steamrolled them with Thors and Carriers.
