indeed it did. maybe they already put that stuff in place then. can't say i've had any unusual annoyances noise-wise with it at all (menu or IG)...

So, is it just me, or is the balance a little wonky, despite the year or so of beta testing? It seems like, at least for the relatively inexperienced players in the bottom-of-the-barrel league that I'm in, that Terrans are much easier to win with than the other two races. Marines + marauders + medivacs, and you've got a hard-hitting force that doesn't need a ton of micro to hold its own, and that does a ton of damage while you get siege tanks (which also don't need a ton of micro as you leapfrog them forward). It seems like strategies with the other two races, Protoss in particular, require far more micromanagement to be successful, leading to an imbalance (at least at the lower-level leagues where everybody's micro could use some improvement).
Thoughts?
nope, it's all good.
no honestly i think it's all ok. maybe if you just mass t1 then terran might be stronger than the other races, but why would you do that?
there is so much stuff you can do to keep the terran from getting a frighteningly big army up in the early game, even without uber-micro. starcraft as a game relies MUCH less on micro than e.g. WC3 does/did. you can play decently without needing much micro. maybe with such a terran army you simply need (close to) NONE, but playing against such an army wouldn't need a crazy amount either. of course, it's always somewhat of an advantage...
also: i play protoss and i consider my micro to be horrible. still works pretty well so far i admit, i tend to just do crazy stuff which somehow confuses people, but still...

Because in all the games I've played, by the time its over, armies are still primarily made up of tier one units, with just a smattering of tier two?
well yeah ok, games tend to go way too quickly with too much t1 and the such. i hate it.
out of the games i play, i would consider maybe 10% "good games" ... as in people really did some thinking as to what they did and not just pumped out more t1 than the other.
it's all a bit annoying somehow, i would agree.
protoss is the only thing i can really play at all. can't be bothered to learn terran and i'm just too stupid to play zerg (too much macro and things to look after and all that -.-).
i think it's actually a rather straight forward deal. not much you can do wrong, really.
too many marauders, just get some immortals they'll butcher them. marines... ololololol... i dunno... stalkers + sentries + immortals should kick those t1 terran's armies asses all over the place.
also: love the possibilities to harrass. blink stalkers? dropship action? phoenix annoyance (one of my favourites, this)? ... and to complete the lot: noobray lameness...
Hey thanks, I'll try some of those combinations. I think I've been relying too heavily on zealots with my Protoss armies.
smurfen: maybe i should try playing terran sometime... i don't like how the protoss are basically religious fanatics
hahaha that thor rush is ridiculous...
Zealots are definitely the worst of the basic units, they were ok in SC1 and I'd rather have the speed upgrade from SC1 than Charge. After all, charge is rendered useless when dealing with enemies on the high ground. Marines are still the most effective of the basic units now that they have stims and added hp making the terran ball more dangerous than before.i actually think zealots are pretty shit unless you have charge -.- they're just so damn slow... but i guess that's just me there.

Protoss reply: Early collossi, with a few sentries and some stalkers.
yeah collossi do some funny things with marines and such
Plus they're not actually that hard to push out early of you go single gate ---> cyb core ---> zealot ---> pylon --> robo
ma computer can run it!!!
would it be worth it to get a legit version for multiplayer or is single player sufficient?
