StarCraft II Beta To Begin This Month

Posted by Soulskill on from the zerg-inc dept.

mrxak writes "It's official; Activision Blizzard's much-anticipated sequel to 12-year-old StarCraft is going to enter closed beta 'this month,' according to company President Mike Morhaime during an investor conference call. This comes in the wake of the SC2 beta forums showing up briefly on Battle.net. If you've got a Battle.net account, it's probably not too late to opt-in for upcoming Blizzard beta tests."

  1. SC2 = Star Control II by Jon+Abbott · · Score: 5, Informative

    As much as I enjoyed StarCraft, the acronym "SC2" will always be reserved for Star Control II in my mind.

    You're seriously comparing hosting that many live-action gaming servers with some match-making servers?

    The game servers are hosted by the players, not Blizzard; only the match-making server will be hosted by Blizzard.
