Will the speed of StarCraft II multiplayer play match that of the original StarCraft?
We decided to lock the BlizzCon 2007 build of the game to the fast speed setting to ensure it remained accessible to BlizzCon attendees who might not have had previous StarCraft experience. However, StarCraft II will ship with even faster settings — which will mimic the speed of the original StarCraft — and were already playtesting matches internally at these faster speeds.
