Starcraft 2 Beta

Cold Storm · May 8, 2009

Yep, thats all you have to do.. Then just wait for your mailer to have a e mail stating that they chose your system specs as a reason to be a beta tester for them...

CrAsHnBuRnXp · May 8, 2009

Any idea when the emails are to ship out?

Cold Storm · May 8, 2009

That, I don't know about.. Just that they started it a few days ago, went public on the matter yesterday, and just a waiting game.. I say in the next two weeks...

Loved the original starcraft. Hadnt really looked into this one before.

Is it jus me or do the graphics looks... meh

the graphics will be far from state of the art, and will probably be equivalent to company of heroes at best. Here is why:
We love blizzard because they take so long to make a game, and they do it very well, and while this creates a great game, it has it's disadvantages. When they started programming the game, they were using a graphics engine from 2004 (they started production shortly after warcraft III), and of course this engine is dated. While they have been able to update most of the graphics to 2009, the game will show it's age, no doubt about that. So graphics? no. Gameplay? get ready to be rocked.

That of course is not true. When they started programming, they didn't have an engine, what do you think they were programming?

Blizzard has never been about top graphics, all their games have average graphics but tend to run well on most computers. Apart from that gameplay has been good, seeing how basically all their games since Warcraft have been hits.

You will most likely have to download it the beta.. find a neighbors house and then put it on cd's if its really that bad.
