Thing is, I'm not hyped out about the game, since I'm also one of those saying that it's just a remake with better graphics, which is why I never really respected Blizzard (Although I do respect them for one thing, and that's their use of p2p for update distribution, which valve fails at during major releases).
They have their 3 main franchises and all they do is make sequels. I personally am the type of person who rather have a 1hour fun game than a boring 10hour game (read: Portal).
But thing here is:
big community + great mapping/modding engine = Amazing mini-games.
Which is exactly what I described above (short enjoyable games rather than long boring ones).
Wc3 was known for all it's great custom games, and mainly DotA, RPG games and TD games, but now with SC2, they finally realized this and worked hard on making a new modding system that gives way more power in the hand of the community, almost making the game opensource.
Also, I'm quite certain that sc2 will have a far bigger community.
WHOA WHOA WHOA! Wait till you play before you even judge the game. Its is NOT SC1 with better graphics.
SC2 has a COMPLETELY different feel than SC1. Mechanics of the game are COMPLETELY different! Macro in SC1 was pretty much minimized, and the only optimization came with timing expansions and such. In SC2, each race has a way to boost their macro (Terran MULE, Zerg Qeen, Protoss Chrono Boost). This changes SO MUCH. Sets up all kinda of timing pushes, builds, etc etc. Microing, as always, is just as important. With all the new things such as units who can jump cliffs and such combat is much more intense and may I saw harder. SC1 I was B- rank on Teamliquid (rofl don't laugh at me), SC2... its so different I'm so terrible now and still getting used it to.
tl;dr: Don't judge a game before you even get to play it, it's stupid. Spectate =/= game.
