You can play a starter version of SC2 for free, if you're interested. It lets you play online against others, but you're only allowed to play as Terran, and you're not allowed to play ranked matches, only custom games. You might have a hard time finding people to play against if they haven't updated the map list from the link below, but I suspect they have. Worth checking out if you think you might be interested. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3250656 http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3250656 As for missing the boat, a lot of people still play SC2. They're going to be coming out with an expansion soon, so the game should see an influx of new players when that happens.
