Ok, you don't mind, but you asked ME what I didn't like about SC2 and I told you. What Blizzard was "going for" is irrelevant to me. If you "go for" for mediocre game play and strategy (IMO), you'll hit it pretty easily. CoH and DoW (mde by Relic) have left SC in the dust, IMO.

Let me add another glaring problem: Even the storyline was driven by a point and click interface that was straight out of 1990's Wing Commander games.

The entire experience of SC2 was more of an homage to how games used to be, but with exceptional presentation. Still a good game, but not worth repeated plays or on-line participation IMO.
