Time will tell, but my guess is starcraft 2 will not fall short of "addictive gameplay".

Civ4, imho, was noticeably enhanced by the 3d gameplay. Whether the enhancement was significant enough to warrant me buying a new graphics card, well my jury is still out there.

I can't wait for starcraft 2... looks like they'll have to give the terrans something beefy to handle those immortals if their shields block such a large portion of siege tank blasts.

Since Blizzard wants SC2 to be a competitive game, it will probably run very smoothly, especially if you desactivate most of the spacial effects. (But since my computer has a hard time running even SE5, I think I'll have to buy a new one anyway).

Due to nostalgia I reinstalled SC1 and have started going back through the original campaign. Once I get to Brood Wars I think I'm going to take my crack at battle.net, but I'm certain that years of natural selection have left everyone on b.net in the rush mode that I left it.

I'm sad to hear the Blizzard is tuning SC2 to be a quick pace game such that they predict an "average" game to last 20-30 mins and "Pro" games should last 15.
