StarCraft II private beta testing has begun
By Eric Bangeman | Last updated February 17, 2010 3:26 PM

It's on. Blizzard has started the closed beta for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in advance of the game's launch sometime around the middle of the year. If you signed up to participate in the beta, check your Battle.net account, as the developer says that invitations have already started to go out.

Beyond testing StarCraft II gameplay, testers will get an early look at the revamped Battle.net service that will allow gamers to talk to one another across World of Warcraft realms and Blizzard's other titles. Players will also be able to purchase add-on content and other Blizzard releases via the new Battle.net.

StarCraft II will bring a completely rethought single-player experience to go with the online multiplayer. Single-player missions are organized differently and the way items and units are unlocked makes solo play much more exciting. Unfortunately, there won't be support for LAN play.

I think I'm going to take a vacation day for this one!

But there's no towns!!! how is that FF!?

In other news, I'm off to GDC in San Francisco for the weekend, I'll be sure to post cool pictures. I'm going to the Sid Meier presentation, and Patrick wants me to get him to sign my copy of SMAC. And of course, ask why The white team is so much more powerful than everyone else.
...we should play smac.

Reply #341 - Mar 10^th, 2010 at 6:55pm I think we've played enough SMAC for two or three lifetimes! I expect a ton of awesome pictures. If the forum is crushed under the burden of hosting your pictures, you will fail at life. -b0b (...thinks the verdict is still out on FF towns.)

Reply #342 - Mar 29^th, 2010 at 6:17pm I beat FF13 yesterday, and while its a pretty good game, I sold it this morning lol. Mass Effect 2 is WAY better. Oh btw, my new computer is up and running so I'll be back online (and in the state of Colorado!)

Meredith is playing like crazy, and near the end of the game. She is enjoying it.

I'm having a hard time getting into the game. I'm on chapter five and the battle system just isn't doing it for me. Life is pretty hectic right now, though, so I don't have the time to really get into the game. I'll give it a fair shot before too long, though!

Reply #344 - Mar 30^th, 2010 at 12:49pm Yeah the entire game is very slow paced. Had the game not had amazing graphics and a kick ass story I would probably have given up on it a long time ago. Honestly though, if you have ME2, I'd highly recomend ditching FF13 immediatley for it. ME2 is easily one of the best games I've ever played.
