'm in a dilemma. in the demo, i see little things that could improve it for me, 2-d hex map being the main thing. the problem is, i don't want to do anything or have anything happen that would further push back the release of sc2. i've been waiting for what seems to be years now for this game. sc1 is one of my favorite pc games. i'm old school and it fits. sc2 is THE game i want to be playing right now.
over the winter, i pulled out sc1 and spent another 4-6 weeks playing it. i probably have spent more time with that particular game running on my pc than any other game. civ would be a close second. i'm ready for sc2. i don't have to learn a new rules-set. i already know sc1 is good. i love its gameplay. so i've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
most suggestions i've read here are good ones. i'm sure they are being considered by the designer. but dang. i'm ready to play whether it's perfect or not. the demo was such a tease and i appreciate it immensely. i'm going to fire it up after i finish this post. but i want to take gibralter and squeeze the allies. i want to see if i can go across the even vaster soviet union and be victorious. i want to be the russians and bleed the germans dry as they try to conquer this vaster expanse. i want to buckle down in the early years as the allies and bide my time until it's my turn to go on full offensive. i want to try to coax turkey to my side and invade russia from that angle also. i want to be england, on my last legs, and sit up with eager anticipation when america enters the fray. i'm ready. no more delays. let's get going with this.
