Starcraft 2: To buy or not to buy

[RustyPwns!]

Gamestop is doing a launch party at midnight, kinda like a mini tournament where I'm at. I love RTS, played a lot of warcraft and some SC, but not SC2. I'm dying for it but I'm so broke it's not even funny lol.

Starcraft 2 will be the number one strategy game of the year maybe another 100 years after that

Woohoo my copy is in the mail! Will it be at my door by tomorrow?... unlikely that it will make it's way this far north (fort mcmurray, alberta) but who knows!

I want to get it. I really do.

>_> I'm debating whether or not to actually spend sixty bucks on this. I'm completely addicted to the first one, but meh.

so apparently you can only host a custom map game if its a custom map in the top 50 or if you made the map yourself. This is making it nearly impossible for newer original maps to get played by more people and is also the reason why 99% of games are the same old tower defense.

Why would they do this? It's like the opposite of valve, let's stifle community modding! I heard they are going to start charging money for the most popular custom maps soon...
