It seems in the gaming community Starcraft is held in some special light, like some great thing that is so good and wonderful that it's so worthwhile when it's really overrated. I've had beta access for some time now and I'm definitely not buying this game. Games like SCII don't deserve the right to call themselves strategy games because it's so minimal in the game. It's more about who's such a no life loser that plays this game too much that can insta click everything and knows every hotkey and moves like a robot spawning units. There's no real strategy involved. After playing a game as Zerg I had tons of units, the other player was turtling badly so I expanded halfway across the map. He had to have been totally out of resources by the time I had over half the map.

Out of no where, here come about 20 ships and a few mechs. My hordes of Zerg were useless, nevermind I had more units than him. If weaker units in greater number can't be expected to beat them, why bother? It's like sending a Spec Ops team to kill a tribal village still following ancient tribal ways and not using any technology in Africa - they have spears, you have fully automatic submachine guns...gee, that's what SCII feels like. If all my base defenses, all my masses of cheap and easy to make units, and my uber units all perish without even killing so much as a handful of them - how is that balanced? Protoss and Terran are VASTLY overpowered and Zerg is seriously underpowered. But Blizzard being the stupid uninsightful company they are they won't fix it and people will buy the game and whine about it...I hate RTS games that cannot balance at all.

There have been others too that did it, but SCII is such a fresh and current subject that it amazes me we still have degenerate idiotic balancing issues after so many better games have come out that overcame this amateur problem. Nothing is worse than wasting 30 minutes of time making a base and building up units for a massive assault with no early rushes and then getting uberscrewed and losing all your units - but I love rage quitting afterward, I won't give the other player the satisfaction of defeating me since they wasted my time - although Blizzard wastes the most of my time with their worthless games. I'd be amazed if they could ever make any good games, about the last time I had respect for Blizzard was when they made Blackthorne - so it's been a LOOOONG time since they've had my respect and will probably never get it again. Warcraft was always a boring game universe IMO and the Warcraft RTS games where always so blah and boring, nothing can match the fun of good old C&C - the RTS King of all time. If you're not in the SCII Beta - you're not missing anything if you ask me...I'm definitely not buying this game - much better RTSes are around than this overrated overhyped thing.
