It will be, everybody whos tested the demo of starcraft 2 at blizzcon and BWWI say its the most amazing RTS they have ever played, the only real problem is that blizzard wants the game to be noob friendly so there adding alot of new features to make it easier on new players. like MBS and super smart AI and auto mine new better rally points, to a actual experience players these take away the depth of macro that you had to apply to actually overcome your opponent
