There's something weird about Starcraft 2
Playing other RTSes and then playing Starcraft 2, you feel that there is some weird unnecessary lag. There seems to be a microsecond between you input the action from your keyboard + mouse to it happening. Anyone else getting this?
I've set the hardware mouse to on, there is a big improvement but still there seems to be a micro lag when you're playing.
Also, for the sound, these are definitely place holders / unfinished sounds because there is simply way too much silence. There isn't enough responsiveness in terms of sound, sometimes you get way too much silence.

Seems perfectly responsive to me. It must be your internet connection.
Re: There's something weird about Starcraft 2
While there is a slight delay between clicking and response, SC2 still is far more responsive to me than most online RTS games. For instance, C&C3 often felt really sluggish, even on my school's lightning-fast connection.

SC2 is very sluggish for me, though I suspect it's my internet connection. Even if that's the case though, it's pretty lame as it should be perfectly fine when playing only against a computer opponent (which it isn't) :(.

Even playing with AI, it feels like there is a lag.

Your commands are still being bounced off of your ISP and sent back to your client.

Yeah, lazy hierarch guy sometimes doesn't say that you don't have enough resources.
But control works perfectly - my click is much more precise than in BW though I haven't been playing for a month before beta! =)
//My tense usage is a fail.

Even when you're only playing against AI in the beta it is still acting as if you are the host of the game with another player, sending packets out to your ISP which are then sent back to you and if your internet connection isn't the greatest there will be a noticeable lag to your commands.
I'm on a 15mbps connection and there is no noticeable delay.

My crappy PC gets none of this. I'm offline so that should give you a hint it's your connection.

If it works like that, the net code is a piece of shit. And don't tell me that it's too rude to say that. They deserve it if that's true.
Re: There's something weird about Starcraft 2
It has to work like that.
If any data is ever processed solely on your machine and not first checked by a server, you are just asking for rampant hacks.
But, rest assured, it will not function this way when the full game is released. Right now there is no "Single Player" mode. Even when you play against just a computer, you are playing on Battle.net.
When the full game is released, you'll be able to play skirmish/single player without sending the data out.
C'mon, people, we've been playing games long enough to understand this stuff.
