Have they been hyping it? I'm not reading IGN lately. My interest is peaked due to recent Mac beta announcement news, which has shown up on a lot of sites.

What does one have to do to obtain a beta key? Kill?

ThePerm · « **Reply #227 on:** March 16, 2010, 03:30:40 AM »

one of my friends bought the key off ebay for $350

People in the beta have started getting invites to hand out to friends. If anyone here is in the beta and has no friends, let me know...

Or if you do have friends but don't have any that want to play SCII with you, let me know.

Anyone who wants in the beta, all you have to do is preorder the game from GameStop. They print a beta key on the receipt. The Mac beta client was also released a couple days ago, so I am downloading the beta as we speak. It's taking forever though... UGH.

Kairon has a preorder and Beta, and so will I before the end of this month. Our focus is going to be the Galaxy Editor :3

Anyone else in the beta, add me as a friend, gbuell [at] gmail.com (for Real ID) or Gront.gbuell (otherwise.)

I wish there was a class in starcraft in my university

So tempted to pre-order to get in the beta. Though I was burned by the Battle for middle earth 2 beta. But this is Blizzard.

I may just play a lot of the first game to brush up before it's release.

Is that is real voice? I thought people only pretended to talk like that. Maybe he's sick or something?

ThePerm · « **Reply #238 on:** May 29, 2010, 07:10:48 PM »

I'm upset it's coming now. It'll be sitting at my house until 8/7/10 when I get home from vacation. It'll be really lonely in fact.

ThePerm · « **Reply #241 on:** July 22, 2010, 09:11:27 PM »

ah jizus that trailer looks sooo awesome....

I think Blizzard should open a movie department.

And is it just me, or are all the voices the same as the original? Except Kerrigan.

Morari · « **Reply #243 on:** July 23, 2010, 12:34:38 AM »

Blizzard should open a movie department. Their cinematics have always been stunning, all the way back to WarCraft.

Stratos · « **Reply #244 on:** July 23, 2010, 05:42:13 AM »

Oh, wow. I do want.

And also I want a StarCraft movie.

Pity I can't afford this game for a while...

It would be nice, but I remember looking forward to the Final Fantasy movie way back in the day. Didn't turn out too well... but I think Blizzard has a better handle on good story telling than Square did at the time.

I could probably swing the money for the game, but I'm fairly sure that neither of my dinosaur computers could handle it. I'll have to wait until I can upgrade.

Stratos · « **Reply #247 on:** July 24, 2010, 07:20:41 AM »

Well, they did plan to make it very friendly for low spec computers. So there is a chance of it working on them.

Morari · « **Reply #248 on:** July 24, 2010, 11:03:40 AM »

Unfortunately they didn't plan to make it very friendly for people that like to play it on a LAN, at home, with their family. I recall a time when all Blizzard games not only supported basic functionality like LAN play, but also came with Spawn Installs. However, I guess now that Activision owns them, they can do stupid stuff like strip out features, oversell the game as three different pieces, and force a constant connection to the "new and improved" Battle.net community.

It's too bad, it looks like it would have been a fun game.

Stratos · « **Reply #249 on:** July 24, 2010, 03:42:58 PM »

You mean no more LAN? Or are you just referring to the lack of Spawn installs. It would suck if the only way you could play local multiplayer is via online like you have to do with certain Wii games.

Maybe the last part of the game will give us those things we want if we complain loudly enough.
