Starcraft II to be released in 3 parts
While all three races are to be fully playable in multiplayer, the singleplayer campaign will feature only terrans, with a comparable ammount of missions spread out over one campaign rather than three seperate ones. Subsequently, two expansion sets are to be released at a later time, adding the zerg and protoss campaigns respectively.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I'm pretty dissapointed. This is something I would expect from EA, not blizzard. However, the justification seems to be a quicker release date, and with the devellopment time pushing 5 years, they presumably want to get this on the shelves ASAP.
Still... :( |
Seems somewhat fair enough, although really the zerg/protoss campaigns should be release together. |

As I understand it, the idea is to have every campaign be much more develloped. So instead of having ~30 missions spread out as 10 terran / 10 zerg / 10 protoss, we're going to get ~30 terran / ~30 zerg / ~30 protoss for a total of ~90 missions. This way they can release the game as soon as the terran campaign is done, then release the zerg campaign as soon as that's done - as opposed to having to wait over a year longer just to have everything. |

| Yes but it makes sense that you pay extra for extended singleplayer together instead of 2 fricken seperate expansions, regardless. |

Blizzard Activision's trollin' the gamers. First these "expansions" and now certain aspects of Battle.net not being free for D3.
Can anyone see the real 'Brood War-like' expansion on the horizon? That's right. There're three of them. |

| there were 3 expansions for dawn of war. dark crusade didn't even have a real campaign or anything. i haven't played soulstorm but i think it's the same style. with this you would be getting pretty much 3 separate games with full stories, voice acting, movies etc. it's still a bit of a bummer not getting everything in one go but with the exploration aspect and getting a big long campaign and narrative for each faction instead of having to squeeze it into one package i'm looking forward to this more than before now. |

They would've been well within their rights to charge monthly fees for bnet2 access, but instead they decided to keep it free and instead have microtransactions for extra features that you're in no way obligated to purchase. I don't see what the problem is. :conf: |
