Starcraft 2 Multiplayer
In his interview, Rob Pardo mentioned that gameplay will be almost exclusively focused on the multiplayer (including a total revamp of Battle.net). He added there will be a several surprises for the Starcraft 2 single-player campaign, so everyone will play it through at least once.
I won a couple of Starcraft games last night – against two (admittedly weaker) opponents. Which got me thinking – I would’ve had a MUCH tougher time in Warcraft III (though I have beaten two players repeatedly). Why? Because armies in Warcraft III are much smaller, the bases have much better protection, expands are generally harder to build.
So comparing apples to oranges, I meant Starcraft to Warcraft to Starcraft 2, I think a good player in Starcraft 2 will be able to take on (and beat) 2,3, even 4 opponents. Just like in Counter Strike, one top gun will nail 5 lesser players just with his Desert Eagle.
Skill, in other words, will play a much bigger role in Starcraft 2. Rob’s interview seems to confirm this. Now all we need to do is wait for the beta at Blizzcon.
Now, I don’t think I will be able to beat three opponents but if two or three of you join me, we might stand a chance against a gosu player from Korea. Or maybe not.
Here's a couple of guides to help with your Starcraft - build orders, maps, units, tactics.

i think the key to beating a player is fast clicks ,mircomanagement and seeing into the futre type of thing like u think u no what your oppent is goina do next. Me honestly i like to take it nice and slow. i may lose and get frusterated but ill be alot less nerdy than the guy that is sweating doing 5 things at once

In my opinion the game requiring less skill is actually better for its popularity. The easier it is to play the more n00bs will play and eventually create a large player base of skilled players. In Starcraft because there’s so many button clicks the skill level is spread, so you can still win against someone slightly worse than you if you make a mistake. By requiring less skill it narrows the skill levels, now if you make a tiny mistake, you will lose against a worse player, this everyone wins once in a while and everyone loses. To consistently win you have to EXTREMELY SKILLED rather than just good. Its means every tournament will have a different winner and it will enourage everyone to keep playing.

I’ve been exploring for a little bit for any high-quality articles or blog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this website. Reading this information So i’m happy to convey that I’ve a very good uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed. I most certainly will make certain to don’t forget this site and give it a look on a constant basis.
