ive done about 30+ matches 1v1. and its a ton of fun. Quite challenging. Im much more motivated to get good compared to regular starcraft. There's no money maps right now to corrupt me like they did when i started starcraft years ago.

There're no AI in beta (it does nothing). It's there for you to look around first b4 going into multiplayers mode.

ShiBDiB · Apr 25, 2010

no theirs fully working reactive ai if u look in the right place

kid41212003 · Apr 25, 2010

It's just there, and it does nothing, that's what I meant. There are no different between easy and hard AI. It's for for testing purpose, units, building trees, stuffs like that.

ShiBDiB · Apr 25, 2010

u have no idea what im talking about... theirs hundreds of ai variations u can download and use in the beta

v12dock · Apr 25, 2010

Beta phase 2 has begun. inc gamers reports it will run to the 19th. http://starcraft.incgamers.com/blog/comments/beta-phase-two-only-12-days/

Frick · Jul 8, 2010

Actually got a beta invite a couple of months ago, a week after I sold my computer.

Hybrid_theory · Jul 8, 2010

boo urns

Frick · Jul 8, 2010

Yah, pretty annoying.

I just hope I have a computer that can play it when it's released.

Hybrid_theory · Jul 8, 2010

My buddy has successfully run it on an old dell laptop using win xp. I cant remember the processor but im pretty sure otherwise its integrated graphics. laptop has to be 5 years old. granted he ran it on minimum settings. But anyway, you can spend minimal dollar and be able to play it.

DanishDevil · Jul 8, 2010

Oh wow, it's still running? I'm gonna have to redownload it! I stopped playing it because my cousin picked "veteran" for me and I kept getting my ass kicked, but if it's in phase 2 there's been a ladder reset, right?

Delta6326 · Jul 8, 2010

is it still possible to get beta keys or no?

Hybrid_theory · Jul 8, 2010

There were numerous ladder resets for phase 1, and yes there was one before this phase as well. If you pick beginner you get 5 preliminary matches. Which are on maps that prevent rushing. Then its 5 placement matches to put you in a league. The beta ended on june 7th i believe, and they said it would come up in a few weeks before the release of the full game

Delta they might have mentioned new people being able to join, but no guarentee.
