New Starcraft II trailer is up. :o

You played normal, you didn't play hard or brutal. I'm sure some of the missions are much harder on those settings then normal. CoD's campaign is even shorter and Halo 3 can also be quite easy to beat in a day. Those 2 games are still praised for having great campaigns yet they don't last nearly as long. They have multiplayer just like Starcraft to add up the hours. Starcraft even has the option of customs for those who don't like the ladder style play. Those alone create a whole new game to play.

I'm not sure why you would want a game to last over 15 to 20 minutes in multiplayer. Sure there are some epic 40 minute games but at the low level of play they are extremely boring to play imo. 20 minutes seems to be the average game time. Hell I hate it when my 1 v 1s go over 10 minutes because that means I need to think a little more then usual on how to finish up the game. Length of games is all based on the skill of the players, if you are supremely better then they will be shorter. If you are even then it may last quite a while.

Oh noz, thinking! :O I love long games more than not.

he's right tho. 20-25 min is the average length of a game. i had a 1v1 match that lasted nearly an hour a few weeks ago tho. guy was putting up just enough of a fight to keep me from finishing him off. he he eventually made a mistake of trying to expand and i drained him of his funds.

But see, that's a truly awesome game. A game where someone plays well enough vs the other to live and hang on and maybe even overcome and the other is on the run but plays smart and so they eventually are scrounging and overcome and ya... I love it the short 10 minute games suck... so boring. Doesn't really get a full feel of the RTS genre.

Bleh I have to wait for the CD to be shipped to me cause I can't use the blizzard downloader on my school's connection. Oh well, only a couple weeks of no starcraft.
