    Haha I still remember that video. In case anyone wonders it's a joke video.

    I had fun in the beta, but multiplayer skirmishes aren't my favorite thing. I'm hoping the campaign is good. If it's as good as Warcraft 3, it should satisfy me.

    By the way, there is no NDA for Starcraft 2 beta. They made a post on the forums the first day. If there was an NDA, you wouldn't see any user made SC2 videos on Youtube.

    There was a NDA for WotLK and you could see videos and screens and infos everywhere :-P Not that I care much, but I know moderators here do, hence why I didn't want to post anything before making sure the NDA is lifted.

    After the crapfest that was WC3 I swore off any RTS from Blizzard. Nothing here has swayed me.

    Warcraft 3 was a great game, especially all the custom scenarios and settings. In no way it falls under the category of "Crapfest".

    Blizzard fails at RTS design, WC3 proved that to me. It was really horrible, even the comedy voices couldn't save it. I just didn't want to play it ever again. Or anything else that Blizzard coughs up in the RTS genre. They should stick to WOW and Diablo, they are acutally good at those.

    Actually, that is more your personal minority opinion. Warcraft3 is very well established as a good RTS and its very worthwhile custom scenarios. It is even one of the most played online "old" games, along with others such as Starcraft, which is also from Blizzard.

    Only other old school game with good custom scenarios was Age of Empires 2. (also Starwars version simply because the custom scenarios could literially be copied over programming wise.)
