Why are people saying two major arcs in the Starcraft II story are pointless?  That's just dead wrong...

*Note since this is major story points the following will be spoiler*

The Haven story arc is important due to the fact that it leads up to the head scientist working on a cure for infestation *cough*whichwillbeusedonKerrigan*cough* 

Tosh's arc leads up to the means to really start a rebellion that will succeed, the men and women Mengsk locks up because they spoke out against him, and powerful people that could be dangerous to his rule. Which could lead to many things in the overall story when the expansions hit.

*end spoiler*

Sorry but the story is pretty solid despite being a tad predictable

Multi is really fun, many new map editing tools, and as far as Bnet 2.0 you can bitch all you want but Bnet 1.0 wasn't the shit at launch either, people have fond memories of a system that was patched and updated to hell to become the system it is now.

Obvious spoilers for the entire post.

I can guarantee you that you de-infest Kerrigan even if you end up killing the scientist and burn the entire colony. As for Tosh's arc, maybe you didn't notice that what has ended Mengsk's rule was the Media Blitz mission, which had no bearing whatsoever from Tosh's missions.

Furthermore if you scrapped those two obvious filler arcs and scrapped the Protoss one they could have easily added a full length Protoss and Zerg campaigns. Really the onlything worthwhile in this release were the Artifacts missions, some of the Rebellion missions (the race with Orlan was an obvious filler), and the final few missions. Everything else could have been scrapped. But I guess Blizzard couldn't fuck you over as much if they had done that.
