Nope, but if you want to see gameplay go to http://justin.tv/iccup. The guy will probably be streaming it quite a bit since it just came out.

Of course, you can just shut off the filter.
Also, "ss" is likely related to the Nazis.
"Anal" would be a borderline word, in my opinion.

New games suck.

I'd get banned for life from any "modern" game for the stuff I say during one DotA game.

The game has cool features and such. Medivac is one of my favorite units, f-ing crazy ass thing can actually haul a thor.

No galaxy, and I think I'll be bored of vanilla play REALLY fast.

How does one setup a stream like such? <_<

Livestream.com or whatever your favorite broadcasting tool is.

So, this game is great if you love Starcraft but have never played Starcraft.

I didn't get in either sadly. if your looking for a stupid easy way to stream your video game feed use xfire, it has a built in streaming program that requires no setting up at all. It's also server based conections, not client, so you dont have direct connections to you lagging your interwebs out.

Xfire is powered by livestream.com which you can stream with, and justin.tv streaming is also server based.

So blizz said there's going to be a bunch of campaign only units that would just be too messy to use in melee games. This is good news, as a primary concern of mine going into sc2 would be lack of units models to work with.

One problem I had with SCII, apparently I wasn't the only one. Is the fact units are horrible to distinguish as opposed to SCI where it was easy. Zerg is the worst of all for this.

Though the comparison to the "where's the scv?" pic that Starcraft I has isn't exactly fair in unit count, but if there were more units, it would still be a lot easier to spot. The music of the video makes me think, "OMFG, Blizzard is going downhill with their BGM." Starcraft II's music just doesn't feel fitting at all.

Terrain is sexy though.

Yea, I've noticed that problem. I think its largely due to the unit spacing - units are able to be packed MUCH tighter than in previous games. WC3 also had similar problems, i remember before release there were complaints that it was impossible to distinguish sides of a battle due to a lack of coloring (its better now but still harder than it should be).

I actually like the Terran music, but I feel it doesn't fit in with the battles of starcraft.

Meh, the Terran music of SCII makes me feel like I'm at Billy Joe's Hoedown shack or whatnot, which might be fine playing one of those rip-off digital poker machines in a bar.

Warcraft II had the best music to theme/game of all the Blizzard games.

It reminds me of Simcity 3000 music. Which, as Yak said, doesn't really fit with combat.

Units may be a bit easier distinguishable when you dont look at a video of a tv filmed by a hand camera and then uploaded with bad quality. D:

From playing it, I'll continue to say, they are poorly distinguishable. I was packing an SCV in my force so that I could repair the medivac. I kept having to select all the units in the area, then pick out the SCV from the selection list on the bottom.

Thats what you get for using a race like Terran.

Been playing the cracked version of beta, which is still pretty good even if you can't play against other people, and I've noticed the problem perhaps brought up. Especially with zerg it seems you can mass units up so tight that its impossible to actually single out a different unit in the mass. Not remotely gamebreaking but still a little annoying
