    Default Starcraft 2 beta

    Anyone else on this?

    It's AWESOME. I've never seen a new game be so true to the original but also totally overhaul it so it's really new as well. A really good balance, and great graphics and matchmaking system.

    Now if I could only stop getting mushed by zerglings ;/

    I'm going to download it later. First, I have to let some friends know about this if they don't already...
    I'll procrastinate tomorrow.

    You'll need a battlenet account and a beta key - check for who is retailing it as I got a beta key with my pre-order

    you also need 1 blizzard game cd key to enter the beta club. and on top of that you get picked to try the demo, so you may not at all.

    though you may not need the above if you have a beta key.

    i've played the demo and the last time i played the first starcraft was about 5 years ago, and the demo isn't all that good.

    it's nice flashy graphics yes, but i don't see any change outside of that.

    didn't know that!

    I was an avid player of the first game and the add-on, and I can conclusively say the new units and tech trees totally change your playing technique...

    but there is no new units accept for maybe 1 per race correct?

    when i played i only did single player and cheats. otherwise i found it boring and didn't want to put to much time into it.
