    Well, after watching the Starcraft 2 live stream, I decided to pick up a copy of the original off the Blizzard store (currently downloading). Knowing that there's no way in hell that I could beat someone online at this point, just wondering if anyone else was going to make an impulse purchase and try out some multi-player at some point. I figure, that if I want to get Starcraft 2, I'm going to need to play a bit of the original in order to be slightly competitive once it releases. Let me know if you're planning on doing the same, and maybe we can set up a Starcraft Bombing Run some time with people that want to brush up on their Starcrafting skills.

    I'm thinking about it, I've never played an RTS before but I might try and get into it. I'll let you know if I decide to.

    I got Starcraft a few years back and never really got into it. Mainly due to getting my ass handed to me online. I'm pretty bad at it, but if anyone wants to get a large game going I'd reinstall it.

    I have the urge to play SC after watching that SC2 beta coverage...but i probably won't, cause i know i'm going to get owned. 
    If you want to see something crazy, play with 1 or 2 other players on an 8 player map, be on the same team, and fill up the rest with AI zerg, you get rushed so bad.

    Hey, I'm just playing through the tutorial right now, so anyone worrying about getting owned, don't be. Besides, there's co-op modes vs the AI which look pretty fun.

    I paid $15 for the full set (Starcraft plus expansions). Holds up pretty well so far, besides having no hi-res support.

    I've been playing SC on and off for the last 2 years, it's such an amazing game.

    I'm currently stuck on the last human mission, and haven't played either of the other two. I'm a less than decent player, but I'm getting better.

    I'm replaying the first to freshen up on my in-game lore, but I just loathe all the things that WarCraft 3 had and StarCraft I is missing out on.
    MBS for example, WHERE IS IT?! 12 units per selection max yea? With a 200 supply that seems retarded but okay I'll manage to bind 9 different groups if you demand it.
    Stuff like that is why I'm going to love StarCraft 2, no longer will the User Interface be the main reason I'm limited in my abilities.

    I'm never playing against you... I'm  a dave-like RTS player, I think. His strategy and take on base creation is where my mind is better suited to. Micromanagement is less attractive,  but I make do.

    @Fbomb: How much did you get it for?
     
    Playing against someone who knows RTSs but isn't a master is up my street.
    The last one I played online and got pretty good at was Battle for Middle Earth, I used to play 2 vs 2 with a friend he'd rush for pressure whilst I turtled. So he's stop them from getting a big army, then I'd just arrive with one.
