TBH if they couldn't get it right in 7 years, it isn't going to happen. Whoever their lead art designer is just has bad taste, it's probably Samwise I would assume.

No matter what the issue is that's causing the delay, I would guess that they are already working on the first expansion because it seems completely impossible that the art team and all the other teams would have something to work on still.

Also, imo they should just skip beta and launch the game imbalanced. Maybe do a 2 week stress test for bnet 2.0 then launch.

not surprised at any end. Blizzard is either trying to make leaps and bounds with Battle.net 2.0 or current employees can't get the job done. Its also possible that the team responsible for B.net 2 are spread thin between other projects or something.

Though comprehend-able, this news is very dissapointng.

Maybe this isn't such a bad thing... I mean the game will have to come out a month after beta ends at the latest, we could be looking at a late 2010 or early 2011 release depending on how long the beta runs.

okay. If you are buying MW2 because you love it, wouldn't that be obvious you will be paying for $60 x 3 if MW 3 and 4 are coming out in the future?
and use "then", not than

I'm very annoyed at all this... I've had nothing but free time for the past 6 months, and I thought I'd be able to spend a lot of it playing SC2 beta. Come December, this freedom will be no more! Waste.

There has only been 1 delay (the initial half way thru next year release delay), This info was not a further delay it was a 'no shit... The game is delayed theirfore the beta is'. I don't know why everyone is so supprised that the beta will start later to coincide with the games release. They shouldn't have needed to tell you the beta was also delayed with the whole game... It should have been obvious. They said they planned 4-6 months for beta and a 2010 beta will do just that.

During Blizzcon Mike Morhaime said beta would start this year despite the delay, so this news is another delay for those expecting beta based off Morhaime's Blizzcon talk.

Ah ok, so is this new beta delay announcement refering to the beta as a whole? Or that the Russians will get beta in 2010? Because North America and Australia are suppose to get beta first, and this quote did come out of a Q&A in Russia. I know i'm just trying to be optimistic.. but do you think (or is there anyone that is fluent enough to do their own translation) that they could have been refering to the start of the Russian beta not the entire beta process?

It sounds like everyone is delayed until 2010 unfortunately. If it was Russians only then the answer would have probably specified it abit further, but instead they simply said that the beta will be released in 2010, which would sound like it's the entire thing.

I love it how logical and well thought-out this post is. Let us review:

1. He states that two yet unreleased games are much better and fun then a third yet unreleased game.

2. He claims that SC2 is an "overhyped POS", even though Modern Warfare 2 is the game with the biggest marketing campaign in gaming history (cheap tricks, such as intentional controversy, included).

3. He states that a yet unreleased game will never be as fun as a game that has already existed for a decade.

4. He repeats the old "60$x3" rhetoric, even though expansion packs never cost as much as a regular retail copy.

5. He implies that delaying SC2 will make people forget about BW, even though it was the sequel`s announcement that has prompted people to take up BW again and that further delay of the sequel will just make more people attached to BW.

Yes, this is one quality post...

Was to be expected indeed. Not that I care, I still love BW and so I can spend more time following the competitive BW scene still. ^_^ I stopped playing anyway, HoN is more fun for me to play, so I don 't care when SC2 comes out.
