That being said - I would really like to see you change the difficulty title from "Beginner" to Normal, Medium, or something else... anything but Beginner. I've played SC from the very first installment, but didn't play much for last couple of years. So I am by no means a "beginner" which to most people = baby level. New players will feel very belittled to be playing a Beginner level and keep getting their butts handed to them if they have FOW on. Looking at the names for each game type, Beginner would normally translate into something easier than Novice or Green and that can be confusing for people.
So at least if it is called something else you won't feel like brain dead fruit bat if you lose at the normal level

Thus ends my dissertation on difficulty levels LOL. But please, really, do change it [:'(]
