Hopes

[LordofAscension]

If you had to lay out your top 3 hopes for SCII ( in general) in 2 sentences or least each - what would they be?

[ArcherofAiur]

Macro-Micro focused gameplay. Macromanagement that promotes multi-tasking and decision making.

A powerful map editor. One that allows UI custimization (non-trigger based camera control) and can support gameplay beyond traditional RTS mechanics.

More Replay features. The ability to draw on the map with a marker and zoom out farther in replays.

1) All my gaming friends develop a fond interest for the game and don't get frustrated with the learning curve, allowing us to play regularly together like we do with TF2 and other games.

2) A fourth race gets announced at some point (hybrids or xel'naga).

3) Gameplay doesn't get too redundant (I'm looking at you macro mechanics), and offers a lot of variety and strategy for us to consider.

[Pandonetho]

A powerful editor and a damn good campaign.

[Kimera757]

A more fun multiplayer gameplay experience, with an AMM so noobs don't get crushed in their first two or three games, and less macro busywork.

A wonderful campaign with all the bits I'm looking for (interesting missions, xel'naga plotline, hybrid opponents, multiple intelligent zerg heroes, a reasonably high amount of use of heroes, etc)

An easy-to-use and powerful map editor, with good example AI scripts (none of this Grunt Master nonsense).

[ch_bing]

- a gripping and fresh story-line devoid of SF clichés

- intuitive interface which goes far to make the player comfortable whilst playing the game

- dethroning SC:BW

[DemolitionSquid]

No Thor, no Carrier, no bullshit macro mechanics like Proton Charge.

[starcraftguy13]

captivating story, epic gameplay, and life-like characters

[Hamshank]

breaking the genre, bringing new elements, increasing the cinematic and epic feel

[Bisso]

-I want the game to be run smoothly with my old computer

-I hope they make their campaign heroes and characters less DUMB! (In SC1, the terrans and protoss were leaded by retards. ie: Ok Duran, let's destroy the psi disrupter, you are right this is TOO dangerous to just steal it and use it to kill the zergs).

-Make team matches very cool. Cause I don't like 1v1, I like teamwork in games.
