I've heard this game will ship with 90 single player missions. Holy crap. I will never beat it.

Is that for the full trilogy, or the first release alone?

The way it was said, that is the first release but I could be wrong.

Blizz said 26-30 missions per campaign, so around 90 missions for all 3 games.

As long as I can play the single player campaign offline(which I believe you can), I have no problem with LAN not being there. This isn't 1998 where that new-fangled internet has just popped up. Plus, the ladder system is where it's at for this game.

You can but Blizzard mentioned missing out on some major features by doing so. I'm not sure what these features are, it might just be something like achievements, but if you're missing out on actual major gameplay points then that is poo.

I don't mind connecting to Battle.net. I think it is a good idea to link games, especially if Blizz can pull it off smoothly. It will be like Live but within the same company.

I played the original and Brood War to death back in the day. Still have the original chunky box and manuals sitting around.
My brother and I would get into some seriously kick-*** co-oop sessions as the Terrans, and I will never forget how manic racing to defend your bases from Zerg swarms was, and that feeling of elation when we coordinated a final assault on their hive.
Great times. But for some reason, I'm just not all that hyped about SC 2 at all.

Like Kama, I'm afraid I've just moved on from that style. That's not to say I won't be buying it when it drops in price, but there have been sooooo many great strategy games since that have taken the genre in new and deeper directions, I'm worried how much I'll be able to really appreciate the game, outside of pure nostalgia and excellent balance.

Amen. Not worth $60 to me so I will wait it out.

Waiting for it to hit $30 - Not too worried about people getting better at the game than me in the amount of time it takes the price to drop, because everyone else is already way better than me at RTS games =p. Buuut hopefully I'll be able to buy it somewhere for $30 around December. I do keep an eye on 'hot deals'.

I plan to pick it up when it goes on sale. I really only want to play the single player campaign because I like the story. other then that, MP holds little to no interest for me.
