lol they made sure that most people out there are going to be able to play it which is good for them but sucks for the rest of us with higher end systems

I've never gotten into a Blizzard beta before, and I don't expect to break that trend this time either

I have never gotten in a blizzard beta either.

i think they assume we can just buy the game without a trial period.

:hmm:

Wow, even my crappy computer I built in late '04/early '05 will run that, albeit at very low res I'm sure.

Not surprising though, my '92 Gateway ran the first Starcraft.

ITT blizzard fanboys

 

[KaOTiK]

Figures I didn't get in

They probably saw I have every game tied to my battle.net account and were like ha, he's gonna buy it anyways so no beta for you!

 

[Hyperlite]

i don't have any blizzard products left laying around to tie to my battle.net account

I got in phase one of the WoW beta, and had the best time of my gaming career that week. That game was so fun back when it was new to me. Especially when I could be an elitist beta jerk

 

[aigomorla]

well i submitted the thing.

Only time will tell now.

 

[shortylickens]

Are you guys allowed to talk about the gameplay in a closed beta?
Or will we have to wait for an open beta before we can discuss it?

 

[blurredvision]

No beta for me, but probably just as well, because I absolutely suck at Starcraft. Still loved it though.

There was a post by a blizzard staff member on the SC2 Beta forum around noon which claims that the confidential nature of the beta is now lifted - and screenshots and such can be shared freely.

However, I have not seen it verified elsewhere, so until then I will not post them. I will say that I've played three games so far and am loving it...

 

[Kalmah]

Hopefully this isn't another Warcraft 3.

 

[Maleficus]

Did you guys not read my post? there is a link to a stream of the game 24/7 by starcraft method. Team Liquid also has a stream going all the time. You can post whatever you want about the game.

 

[Beev]

BETA!

Invite came in 2 hours ago. I wish I checked my email more often.

 

[ScorcherDarkly]

Got mine!

 

[Kalmah]

Why didn't I sign up for this? Watching the live gameplay and drooling.

 

[Kalmah]

lol, the guy in the video just can't win.

 

[INGlewood78]

I'm in...d/ling now. Let's see if eyefinity is supported! =O

 

[ChaoZ]

Wtf? There's block holes?

 

[IEC]

Wtf? There's block holes?

Novice friendly map versions have destructible terrain to slow down rushes

 

[ChaoZ]

So are all invites already sent out or is it an incremental thing?

 

[Reliant]

Got in and confirm that there is no confidentiality agreement anymore, they lifted it.
