Starcraft 2 and Achievements

Going in suite with console systems and other popular computer games, achievements will be introduced into Starcraft 2. Currently, there are only a handful of achievements available in the beta, but I’m sure there will be quite a few additions once the game is released on July 27th. I also have a feeling Blizzard will keep some of the beta related achievements around even after the game is released, and the ladder is wiped. That would give the beta testers a sense of accomplishment

As far as the idea of achievements go though, I think it is an excellent.  One of my main issues with the original Starcraft was that you could play a really long 4 hour game, end up losing, and wonder what exactly you wasted your time on.  With achievements (in combination with the tier ranking system), there will always be some sense of accomplishment, even if you are terrible at the game.
