I finished original Starcraft, truly awesome game.
Unfortunately the Brood Wars was too hard for me, I got stuck with humans.  :-(

BTW, I wish Starcraft 2 would be 2D..
I never managed to play those 3D well and besides 3D will never look as good as 2D

Is it just a C&C type game? Or is there more to it?

yes it is like C&C but a lot better. for eg. it has very good air units. also there are interesting FRP type missions, like you get only one guy to control to rescue someone..

I remember multiplayer mode is fun.. it (optionally) lets two humans control same units when fighting computer!

I just know I'm going to be disappointed though. SC1/BW was pure RTS perfection. All they really needed to do was update the engine for higher than 640x480x256 screenmodes, and redo the artwork. If this feels like Warcraft 3 I'm going to cry like a girl.

well in the press statement blizzard said. that it plays very much like the original. which is great.
they dont want to mess with the game too much otherwise it will be a major stuff up.
on the videos the scale is very similar. ie how big the units are on screen and so fourth.

Blizzard knows what they are doing.
im sure we all will be majorly impressed.
the videos alone impressed the hell out of me.
I really cant wait..

1v1 anyone?

I hope it's so close to v1 that maps/scenarios are compatible. If I can't play "Sunken Defence 12way" or "Hunters 1N5@n3 $$$MONEY$$$ D00Dz!!1!" I'm going to pout  :-P

Hope they've added better scripting tools too.

As popular as v1 still is, I'm surprised they didn't release a few more expansions.
