Some Battlenet inconveniences
Only one campaign.
Many of these we’ve already known about. We can only (mostly) play as the Terrans. No LAN support so we’re forced to use Battle.net instead
And the game has region locks. Some players of more modern RTS games may find gameplay too simple. Overpriced for a computer game.
The dialog can get a little hackneyed
The base gameplay is very much StarCraft
For better or worse. The wheel has not been reinvented (you could argue this should go in the Good
Or
Multiplayer is more of the same.
Adds virtually nothing new
Single-player is a mite too easy.
No chat rooms
No clan support
A little too tied to Battle.net
No new innovations to the base gameplay mechanic.
Occasional crashes
No LAN support for multiplayer gameplay
Some units stripped out of multiplayer mode to provide game balance.

For those of us who were worried that Blizzard's 12 year absence from the RTS scene would ruin the StarCraft name, we can put our worries to rest. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a worthy successor to the original game that gamers everywhere loved s...
Excellent production values, clever and challenging singleplayer missions, ample tools for learning multiplayer skills, solid ladder system for multiplayer ladders.
Remarkably conservative in design changes given the 12 years between games. Exclusive focus on Terran makes it harder to learn Zerg and Protoss units. Mostly, it’s preaching to the converted.

Abstract: So what does one do when making a sequel to what is arguably the most-played RTS in the world? I'm sure that was one of the largest burning questions running through Blizzard developers minds when designing the inevitable successor to the King of Real-...
