It's annoying to play with Zerg since Terran seem to have a clear advantage :(
Besides, I don't like how banelings are the only real good solution for mass marines, but thanks to their MULE farming they still keep above in resources and you cant counterattack since banelings suicide.
Zerg is all about macro. You should always have more expansions than the other races. Roaches are good against marines too. If you morph ALL of your zerglings into banelings as soon as you get them, you're doing it wrong.

Of course it is all about macro, but, if i exp fast, the terran will just steamroll over me with more units. Besides, if the game gets far enough, it starts getting really though fighting tanks and thors, albeit I can do pretty well with mutas.
I've mostly won terran matches, if I have somehow managed to harass their farm really early on or got a nydus canal up in their base (or alternatively destroyed rock paths and attacked that way).

SC2 campaign is a bit messy. While the missions themselves are mostly very good, the story around them feels sometimes like a last minute addition. It's very easy to break the flow of the story if you don't play the missions in specific order. Story in SC1 seemed more solid and each campaign ending had a clear conclusion. WoL campaign ending doesn't really have any conclusion at all and feels like a cheap cliffhanger.
To me it seems that Blizzard tried too hard to make the campaign "epic" and as a result it's very cheesy and more like comedy than a desperate fight against tyranny and hostile aliens. Comparing Brood War introduction to SC2 Char cutscenes gives a good view what direction Blizzard took for SC2 story and style.

But it's not one game cut into three parts, really it isn't!

Wow, for a moment there I thought about actually trying to educate you by giving examples of how long RTSes usually are and comparing it with SC2. What's happening to me these days?
Anyway, played a bit SC2 today. Just saved the doc chick so like, 1/10th there, but guess what? If japs ever made an RTS I bet this is how it would look like: ten minutes of cinematic and adventure like clicking on interactive backgrounds. Three minutes of gameplay. Ten minutes of cinematic and adventure like clicking on interactive backgrounds. Seven minutes of gameplay. Ten minutes of cinematic and adventure like clicking on interactive backgrounds. Ten minutes of gameplay. Ten minutes of cinematic and adventure like clicking on interactive backgrounds. Ten minutes of gameplay... okay, you're right, japs would never give you an option to click on interactive backgrounds. All the dialogue would be obligatory and unskippable. But still.
Nothing wrong with the idea of having a little chat in between missions, but I could see it work in Supreme Commander where one mission is THREE HOURS LONG. Not in Starcraft 2 which is just so... puny. Well, so far, but I doubt I'll get strategic view zoom later on.
Other than that, the graphics are bad(duplo to Starcraft's LEGO Technic), music is bad(rofl country oh my god) and writing is seriously disappointing(I WILL SHOOT THE TV THAT'S HOW MUCH I DON'T LIKE THE GUY ON TV. THEN I WILL WHIMSICALLY STARE AT PICTURE OF MY EX-GIRLFRIEND. CAMERA MAN, ZOOM IN ON MY EYES). Seriously, they had budget of my country's GDP and that's what they came up with?

But it really is, they have it all done, they'll release it any minute now!, absolutely not in 18 months..
hah, 18 months, that would be weird, it would be as if they hadn't done part 2 at all.

You play the missions too fast! I spent about an hour on each. :erg:
