    Super excited to find out what happens with Kerrigan, Raynor and the others. I suck at the multiplayer anyway.

    Oh yeah I'm buying it 'cause I desperately need to find out what the hell is going to happen. Being good at multiplayer is just a bonus. 
     
    Also, I swear to God that Wings of Liberty will end with the biggest god damn cliffhanger gaming has ever known.

    There's always user map settings games. You'll get your money's worth even if you buy the  collectors edition.

    I'm really looking forward to both. I'm just glad that the single player doesn't seem like just an after thought. It's actually really expansive, and has the kind of quality that people have come to expect from Blizzard.

    Yeah the cutscenes alone are ALMOST worth it
     
    But yes I'm sure I'll have fun with the multiplayer, I'm just not into the whole "build order MUST be so and so" thing

    I am. I'm afraid to go into the multiplayer, because I've never been any good at it with RTS-games. And I'm guessing Starcraft players are brutal.

    I'll like multiplayer, but a large part of the production is in the single-player campaign I believe.  I myself bought this game mainly for the campaign, but will play multiplayer often.  Also, I will be interested to see if they can make a compelling story more dramatic and impactful using an RTS framework.  It was ok in SC1, but hardly anyone will say there were memorable in-game mission moments.  The cinematics were relevant to the story, but I am strictly referring to in-game moments, not CGI cutscenes.

    I am, will check out the multiplayer but honestly the idea of just playing and getting my backside handed to me doesn't sound like fun.  
     
    Having said that, I will probably will play against/with friends online.

    I'm not even going to touch the ladder. I used an unbelievable amount of time getting to a C+ in SC1. Definitely not going to do that again.

    I want to play the SP but I don't care for the MP so I'm not buying it. Why don't they sell the SP and MP separately? I hope in the near future Publishers start doing this. Selling the SP or MP digitally...

    I've come to terms with the fact that it's $60, but it'll be worth it for the campaign alone. I'll dip into the multiplayer as well, of course, but not until I'm through with the single player part.

    I am not buying it. But if I were going to buy it I would exclusively play single player. I am not much of a multiplayer guy at the best of times but Starcraft multiplayer is too crazy for me.

    I don't know when I'll but it, but when I do it will be mainly for the SP experience. I'm pretty bad at RTS games in general, and I hate losing in them, so MP is very off-putting for me. I know I would just owned over and over again.

    Although I don't see how a pro player would get anything out of destroying a non-pro player, it happens in every MP game ever made. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Blizzard manages to pull off some magical match-making system that would allow lesser players to compete against each other.

    I'm an RTS n00b, but even I'm just getting it for multiplayer (or playing vs bots).   Playing vs randoms seems intimidating, but I can handle playing co-op against the AI with my friends.
     
    I might try the single player and hopefully it'll pull me in, but I didn't enjoy single player in the first StarCraft so I don't expect this would be any different.

    1-account per purchase cuts down on the smurfing by a lot. I don't think anyone is going to spend another $60 bucks to steamroll through beginners for 10 games.

    To contribute to this thread:
    Let's say the matchmaking was terrible (it's not but a lot of people will not have fun anyway), there are still co-op AI stomps and custom games alongside the campaign.

    Mostly for the campaign I guess.  It seems as though Blizzard really committed to a good long sp campaign by splitting the three up.  But I do hope to enjoy some mp as I learn how to play.  Co-op against AI might be best or custom stuff...whatever that will be lol.  Maybe some 2x2 or 3x3 will be a little less intimidating?

    AOM is such an awesome game. I still play it eveyr once in awhile, but last time I was online, only 500 people were playing :(
     
     
    @pweidman:  Yeah 2vs2, 3vs3, and 4vs4 is definitely less daunting, but I recommend 1vs1 for the best experience (from playing the beta anyway).

    Yeah, I have a feeling that I am going to see the end of the campaign, fly off the handle and burn the box, game and manual and give Blizzard the finger.  I mean I don't mind companies leaving a bit of an opening at the end, but really, the next starcraft expansion/part is going to be years off. It is not like the expansion is 3-6 months off, it is easily going to be a year plus.

    mods for me, and skirmish games, the campaign is cool but most of the time RTS campaigns aren't like the actual game at all, it's all guided instances and stuff the real fun is the skimishes, online games, and most of all awesome mods:)

    Mostly the campaign for me as well.  I got really into playing SC and Brood War in LAN settings back in the day with friends - we had loaded an entire computer lab with the game and would play and debate strategies endlessly - but battling up ranked ladders on the Internet in general just doesn't hold the same appeal for me. 
     
    Though that could be because I don't have nearly enough time to devote to being good, unless I want to sacrifice the ability to play any other games for months and months.

    I'm waiting until the expansions are out, then playing all the campaigns from SC1 to Legacy of the Void all at once.  Until then, I'm strictly laddering.

    I'm also getting it for the Single player. Although I will try multi once in a while to mess around but like everyone else has said, I don't have the time to get a lot better. This thread would make a great start to the Paper Cup league, below copper and below practice lol.
