Ima stick up for vlad then. I agree with a lot of his criticisms and most of them are justified, and to be honest I enjoy reading his posts about StarCraft II. And he is right about them patching the hell out of anything even remotely overpowered ever since the Beta started (vs. the original which was full of overpowered tactics, but at the same time always counterable, which is part of what makes it a much better game).

If you think they've made a perfect sequel then that's great for you, but I expected much, much more from the sequel to the best RTS I've ever played, and I'm glad I'm not the only one here who thinks that.

I second this. My problem mostly lays with the fact that it seems like they really tried to make something as amazing as SC1, but stopped just a little bit beforehand.

I would also like to add the fact that just because "SC2 is the best RTS in ages" doesn't really mean jack shit. This is the PC platform, and since I can still play RTSes from back around 2000, this has to be pitted against them and it just does not match up. Graphics and some minor changes (like the shooting off of cliffs and not being seen) are not even close enough to justify all the other letdowns.

Edit: 4v4 matchmaking with friends has existed since before SC2 as well, keep that in mind. It was part of WC3, so this isn't an SC2 thing.
