It will just be like all the other RTS games, where multiplayer turns into hugely repetitive gameplay, doing the same strategy over and over and over again. Since the whole design is based around the same thing done for 20 years. Mine resource, build a building, build units. I can't understand why people anticipate the same *****, especially when multiplayer is the same every time.

I'll definitely be downloading the Mac version to see how it compares. Knowing Blizzard, I shouldn't be disappointed.

Same could be said for FPS. Just play what you enjoy

Expansions. They won't be $60.

Expansions. They won't be $60.

You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I read they were all full games, each containing 1/3 of the campaign.

This is what he said:

Do you know what the pricing on it will be? People are bristling at the thought of having to pay for a game three times.

"We would do the retail price based on the value that we're putting in the box. So, if the value in the box is less than the original, then we're going to price it like that. We're not just trying to get people to pay full price for something that's less, if the followups end up having the feature set of an expansion, then that's how they'll get priced."

He's been referring to the other games as expansions, so I expect that's how they will be priced.

Uh, no he didn't. He said IF it had the content of an expansion, it would be priced as such. Still a chance they will all be full priced.

Most PC games have been 49.99, the change happened when the greedy people at IW decided to charge 59.99 for modern warefare 2, it is kind of annoying that blizzard is beginning to follow this greedy trend.

Activision and Blizzard are joined together, so maybe they didn't have a choice? If you pre-order in Australia you can get a beta key, might just be tempted to do that.
