Starcraft 2 compared to Starcraft

• I played a lot of Starcraft, unfortunately not any SC2 yet.

  Would you say the overall strategy is the same, or are there major differences?

  What would a newbie to SC2 need to know?

  Cheers

• if you played Starcraft 1 you can definetly play Starcraft 2...especially when it comes to the campaign and singleplayer matches...without using the cheats.

  there are a lot of differences especially since the games have different units, with different abilities and also different HP or energy values, or even build time

• While the units and all are mostly or completely different, the basic gameplay mechanics are still there. It wouldnt take long for a sc1 veteran to get used to the sc2 gameplay.

• Other than graphics pretty much improved unit pathing units and stuff. Music is kinda hard to decide :\

  Terran: sc1 music is great but its mostly synthesized cuz of low tech in the past

  protoss: improved
