The ~$200 price tag is simply outrageous. It's abominable that companies are getting away with these borderline criminal practices. These are dark days for the industry. I preordered Wings of Liberty out of loyalty to the franchise, and thus far from what I've seen in the beta it looks promising, but if the game doesn't man up to its $60 price tag I will be unpleasant.
I'm assuming it is of course the idea of Activision. Christ, I despise that Bobby Kotick.

It offerst nothing new really. It's everything you know form the old Starcraft in a new package with a few new features that aren't all that impressive or revolutionair. The game feels like something that should have been released many moths/years ago. It doesn't feel like a "next-gen" 2010 game. The game already feels outdated while the game isn't even released yet!
Blizzard has stated that they aren't reinventing the wheel, so to speak. at least they are being honest about it.
besides, look at the awesome things you can do with the editor:
Starcraft 2 racing game
Yes. They are giving Starcraft fans more Starcraft with some shiny new additions. They are not making some brand new game Blizzard is making Starcraft 2. If that is not your cup of tea so to speak fine but do not tear it down because Blizzard has not changed it to suit your tastes.
As far as DoW2 Multiplayer is concerned it is pretty much Company of Heroes multiplayer with some tweaks. Nothing brand new or revolutionary in that.
For those that have not played DoW2 in a while they did make some changes in how the single player campaign plays out. Its not a huge change but it is no longer clear the map and kill the boss every single time while starting at the same exact place every time. It was refreshing when I played thru it after picking up the expansion which I reccomend.
As far as Starcraft 2 being split up I am going to wait to see how that works. It sounds interesting that each single player campaign is going to be as large as the first games 3 campaigns were and each is supposed to play out in a different manner then the other two.
Most likely tho I will just wait till a battlechest type of deal comes out since there are plenty of games in the world to play.
I've never played Company of Heroes but if you say it's the same as DoW2 then I guess it's worth a shot, since DoW2 was awesome.
It's just that I find it lame that DoW2 feels and looks more robust than SC2, while DoW2 has been out of a while now and SC2 isn't even released yet. The cover system in DoW2 worked awesomely well, which SC2 doesn't even have. The character animations in DoW2 also look a lot better than the character animations in SC2.
I'm not saying DoW2 is the holy grail of the RTS games, it's just a shame that SC2 is so mediocre and worse than it's rival DoW2.

I'm counting the days to StarCraft 2. I've already pre-ordered the box-set with all the goodies.
Btw what's so good about Dawn of War 2? What you're talking about are cosmetic things.
Starcraft 1 had a really good and immersive gameplay, perfect balanced factions, cool voice acting an to top it of a really good story. I think the second part will be the same.

I'm also exited for Starcraft 2, but then again, I liked Starcraft 1. The Starcraft Series is up my alley & my cup of tea. To each their own. 
This GameSpot Article talks about the S2: WoL Collector's Edition, & it claims the CE to be $100 bucks, not the $180 - $200 reported here, or was that talking about getting all 3 Factions? Anyway, This article states that it's gonna have a large artbook, a soundtrack, & a cool 2GB Flash Drive shaped like Jim Raynor's Dogtags that contains Starcraft 1 & the Brood War Expansion. I can't speak for everyone, but that's lookin to me like $40 bucks of extras!
This especially interests me because like I said, I liked Starcraft 1, but it was a friend's copy I played, & he never got the Brood War Expansion. I'm definitely considering getting the CE, including to have my own copy of SC1 & BW. My decision isn't final though, i'm interested in this game's GameSpot Review. It's no bible, but it can be of use as long as it's taken with a grain of salt.
I've never been able to choose a favorite Faction. I dunno if i'll be able to do so this time around either.
My 1 1/2 cents.

yeah, they meant $180 for buying all 3 campaigns. if each one really is as big as the whole first game, it's definitely worth it.

It's harbored from a console mentality. Without mod support or map makers, they have realized they can take little things like re-skins, map packs and models and charge money for dribbles, this has grown into a big evil monster with pre-order tat and super special edition tat. Pc gaming is great, the industry is trying to stump it out and/or convert it to console gaming.

Just cosmetic things? How about different gameplay? No base building? Small, more focused squad skirmishes? Campaign being an action-rpg and the multiplayer being more like the tabletop?
I'm not the biggest fan of either, but DoW2 had more going for it than looking pretty, which both games do.

Holy GOD all the crap about "LOL ONLY RELEASING A THIRD OF THE GAME" annoys the ****** out of me. You guys do realize that each individual race's campaign is going to be the size of the ENTIRE GAME of Starcraft 1, right?

You got to be joking. Of all the things they have done, they did 2 addictive RPGs, 1 big mistake and 4 RTS. Those last were the best part.Vaeliorin wrote...
Meh. Blizzard RTS's are mediocre at best.
Note : 1 big mistake = WoW.

Perhaps... I guess that we'll see by how good SC2 will go... then they'll make a MMO... Universe of Starcraft? UoS... well, could do it. Hope not though (don't get me wrong, I am just a hamster, not a troll!

I'm terrible at RTS multiplayer, and I don't know if I can justify that much per game for the single player campaign.
But, I tend to eat up anything Blizzard like a fat person eats McDonalds, so we'll see.

I don't think it's $60 for the expansions.

I wouldn't worry about the expansions, we probably won't see the first one until 2012. Diablo III will probably come out 2013 if we're lucky.
Blizzard can afford to be lazy because of all the WOW zombies.

Expansions will be the same cost as the main game, as they're the same size. Possibly *slightly* less, since the full multiplayer is in the main game.

Blizzard charged full price for the WOW expansions despite there still being a 15 dollar a month fee. So why would anyone think Blizzard wouldn't charge full price for Starcraft II's expansions?
