recommended usually means "to play in med-high settings". sure it needs higher specs for all high/highest but even then ... recommended for highest would be what ? a C2D 2180 with a 8600GT ?
I just noticed the 15-gig hard drive space requirement. That's quite a lot for 1/3 of a game. Will it be like 45-50 GB for the 'full' Starcraft 2? Might be if they other two parts are stand-alone.

"Dude, can you read? The update states that it was placeholder system requirements from World of Warcraft"
These system requirements are not accurate – the page went up with some placeholder information. We will have more information about beta system requirements once the beta starts. We’d appreciate it if you could amend the story and/or pull the listed numbers.
Thanks, and please feel free to contact me in the future for fact checking before posting StarCraft II stories.
Can't compare the huge scale of SupCom2 (even if dumbed down a lot) with Starcraft 2. Do they even have squads in this game, or is still individual unit controls? Edit: Nope, no squads. Welcome back to 1998.
I think comparing this to, say, Warhammer 40K Dawn of War 2 is more appropriate, and from what I've seen, Dawn of War 2 blows it out of the water.

Are you saying supcom2 and DoW2 is supposed to be better than Starcraft 2? Somehow i highly doubt that. DoW2 was fun in campaign but MP was a extremely unbalanced lagfest. While Supcom2 obviously isn't out we can only presume the worst considering that it will most likely be nothing more than a dumbed down port.

squads? only rts to have real squads are dow2 , supcom didnt had any squads.. and they didnt show or said anything that supcom2 will have squads..
both games are close to same.. while supcom is on higher map higher unit count. ( supposedly )
i somewhat doubt that there will be any pc that will handle 1600 units in supcom2..
and im sure most will in sc2 .. considering 8 players game with 200 unit limit.. and endless tower defenses and similar.. where unit count goes beyond thousands..
your comparison is silly.. dow2 cant be compared to sc2 or either supcom , as its tottally different
as for control groups it been improved a lot in sc2.. so if you saying that in supcom you can select 100 units and control as one.. you can so same in sc2..
Company of Heroes and its expansions use a squad system as well.
However, don't be ridiculous, iNatan: the use of squads doesn't necessarily mean a game's more 'advanced'. The first Supreme Commander, for instance, was also fairly traditional, and used individual unit controls. The control method is simply a design choice.
I do hope, however, that Starcraft 2 doesn't feel like a simple remake of its predecessor. Warcraft III improved a lot on II, but will SC2 on SC1? That's my concern.
squads are a design choice and don't make a game superior.
personally I don't like squads because I hate not beeing able to tell individual units what to do.
I want my micro, and sc2 will give it to me!!
Likot Mosuskekim, Woodcutter cancels Sleep: Interrupted by Elephant.
Of course it's a design choice. Not having a jump and crouch in an FPS can also be seen as a design choice, it doesn't mean it's better. Per unit control is a design of the 90s; no thanks.

Have you seen any of the gameplay videos?

Perhaps you misunderstood; I meant from visual stand point - number of units on screen, not gameplay.
It may true that squads are a step up, but to ever expect blizzard to use it in the beginning is just naive. They would never endanger the e-sport/korean market that would cry bloody murder at such a huge change like that. It is - like the name suggests - starcraft 1 with more.
A squad is one unit anyway, especially when it comes to the simplest of soldiers, which are never a single "unit" in a real battlefield. From gameplay videos, it looks anything buy epic.
Feels so dates. They just stand there and shoot. "Nuclear launch detected" -> *PUF* -> everyone disappears. Someone said requirements are low?

So since Jumping and Crouching both are design choices of the 90s, i can assume you'd like that out of games as well?

I'd rather have 16(though the reality is far from that) units engage in combat than 16 squads of indistinguishable blobs shooting at each other slowly becoming smaller and smaller.
As it's more of a visual effect i prefer readability over realism and the small amount of change in gameplay i'd rather have the micro of Starcraft, rather than some AI RNG sizing down numbers.
Interestingly enough, none of the soldiers in Dawn of War 1 & 2, Company of Heroes, Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2 look like blobs to me. Then again, I don't play on 1024x768 and don't like each unit taking 1/32 of my screen.

They're still harder to distinguish, you actually have to look at them to know what they are, that is not really the case with SC2.
As for units appearing similar, that is up to the art design. You can have squads of units that look completely different. (BTW, I'd take a Warhammer 40K art design over SC any day. ).
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
