Beta keys now available from gamestop when you preorder.
Got mine and the game is pretty sweet.

I remember the good times of Starcraft. I was so young when I played that! I'm too scared to get this one, I'd be kicked online consistently. Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....

I agree with you on the part about getting kicked around constantly; most of the player base is pretty good already. But it now does have skill based matchmaking similar to war3. The game is also generally noob friendlier to its 1998 counterpart (auto split mining, queuing, much better pathing). Enemy players and their roach rushes probably won't be as accommodating though.

Yah. Looks like my next purchase might be SupCom2 though; either that or DoW II, because it looks rather fun. We'll see, exams and money permitting :D

I still want Mass Effect and Dragon Age and ... and and and and so on. Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....

Just got my preorder and betakey but I got to walk all the way back to my office and drive home and then fix my computer before I can try it.

I play sc once in a while with some of my so-called "friends" (i find them annoying cause they keep wanting to play dota with).
sc2 looks cool, but the graphics look pretty bad, i mean starcraft just isnt the same looking like warcraft 3

OK so my Windows (7) computer is totally hosed up.

IF and when it finally POSTs it can barely boot Windows (sometimes never finishes, sometimes just takes 4 hours) and then it likes to insta-reboot crash about ever 30 minutes.

I couldn't fix it and I hardly wanted to try SC2beta on that so I got crazy and installed Wubi+Wine with the SC2beta patch. Had to install IE6 as well since the SC2beta installer needs IE. (WTF)

And then after updating forever... it works!

Not very fast though until I turned down all the gfx. But hey it makes everything easier to see.

NOT liking how SC2 forces me into a game just to make sure everything works. So there I am trying to learn the UI and set the gfx and windowed vs. fullscreen while some other noob is rolling me. But anyway it looks fun.

Just wish my mobo and Windows didn't suck SOOOOO much.

BONERTOWN! I've only heard a few Win7 complaints. Assumably you're a good boy and don't have any precious dataz residing on the same partition as your OS, and are therefore safe to format. If not, WOE IS YOU!











it's a bummer that the lackluster state of computing has driven us to things like redundancy and a separation of os and data...wtb the perfect computing solution
