I am pretty excited to see the Single Player campaign. I never played the original SC but I did play the SC2 beta and it is very impressive. The graphics are whatever but I love the music the gameplay is incredible.. but you would hope so with 100m spent on development alone. I dont care about triple wide at all for this game. I might care about it a little more when D3 comes out next summer (wishful thinking) as far as a blizzard supported game is concerned. But even then its really not important.

The single player campaign is pretty damn good so far.

My hands were shaking and the phone camera sucks, but: :D

You failed to answer the most important question for this forum, is the game play Hoz+ how does it handle it, people would like comparison screen shots too. Personally I'm not to bothered about this game, but then I never played the original so I really "don't know what I'm missing". Besides, I still want to get the expansions for Sins of a Solar Empire, and there are a couple of games on the Wii I don't have yet, but anyway, I digress.

It's the same as beta: Hor+, but not triple wide compatible. There was a comparison shot somewhere for the beta, nothing's changed.

I highly recommend playing the original. Great game.

No eyefinity resolutions visible in my options (should have 3360x1050).

No luck here either, even with manually editing DocumentsStarCraft IIvariables.txt which apparently worked in the beta. I know some people got it to work, given the 6 monitor video PC Perspective did and a few other screenshots floating around, but I'm not sure how. This is on Eyefinity with Catalyst 7.7s.

They specifically banned eyefinity as they deemed it as cheating. Don't expect to get anything but the normal aspects (16:9, 16:10, 4:3)

You can try using each monitor in portrait. 3x9:16 will give you basically 16:10, 3 x 10:16 will give you basically 16:9.

Wow...

Is there patch notes or a official Blizzard post of some kind that confirm this? I mean, any word at all?

No word about it yet, but they definitely did block it specifically. It worked a few years ago with TH2G but now they just clamped the aspect ratio at 16:9.
