By lipton@starfeeder.com (Lipton) I really think macro should always play a huge roll in any RTS no matter the style of gameplay.

By Michael McWhertor That mechanic gives StarCraft II's single-player campaign a bit of an adventure game feel, even if most of what the game offers during these moments is atmosphere. These moments replace the talking head intermissions from the original StarCraft.

By Michael McWhertor In the Hyperion's armory, you'll have access to plenty of units, technology and buildings that didn't make the multiplayer cut. This makes StarCraft II's single-player campaign much more than a series of mission-based levels using multiplayer style rules.

By Michael McWhertor While much of the early StarCraft II game feels familiar, Blizzard has added another layer of strategy to something as simple as resource gathering. Each faction, Terran, Zerg and Protoss, have ways of boosting their resourcing means.
