In his interview, Rob Pardo mentioned that gameplay will be almost exclusively focused on the multiplayer including a total revamp of Battle.net. He added there will be a several surprises for the Starcraft 2 single-player campaign, so everyone will play it through at least once.

I won a couple of Starcraft games the other night – against a couple of (admittedly slightly weaker) opponents. This got me thinking – I would have had a much harder time in Warcraft III (although I have beaten two players repeatedly). Why? Because armies in Warcraft III are that much smaller, the bases have a lot better protection, and expands are generally harder to build.

So comparing Warcraft to Starcraft 2, I think a good player in Starcraft 2 will be able to take on (and beat) 2,3, even 4 opponents. Just like in Counter Strike, one top gun will nail 5 lesser players just with his Desert Eagle.

Skill, in other words, will play a much bigger role in Starcraft 2. Rob’s interview seems to confirm this fact. Now all we need to do is wait for the beta at Blizzcon. Come on guys!

Now, I don’t think I will be able to beat three opponents but if two or three of you join me, we might stand a chance against a gosu player from Korea. Or maybe not. He he…
