when I first heard they were pushing beta back (repeatedly) I was upset cause I wanted to play sooo bad. But now I feel like "whatev" cause I fell back in love with Broodwar. Largely in part to iccup and the awesome tl.net. I feel like im playing a new game everytime I play. And following pro/foreigner SC is just so amazing. So.... in short thank you teamliquid!

Sigh.. really disheartening to hear. I always thought in the back of my head this would probably be the case, but I held out hope anyway. I should have known by now not to expect it. So much for planning to play SC2 all X-mas break. -_-

only in the ridiculously unlikely situation that it's pushed back for another ~2/3 years

by that time they probably would restart everything or just give up cause the graphics and everything would be horribly outdated

nope, they just removed roach's moving while burrowed, which sounds like a pretty big (balancing) change.

in addition, WoW is supposed to move to b.net 2.0 on november 11. And I think WoW has more players than sc2 beta.

if they dont release it by 2011, ill probably not buy it out of spite. :\

I don't consider this a project thats taken like, 5 years, or 4 or however many they've actually been making it for, as far as I'm concerned, starcraft 2 is over a decade overdue. Therefore, the normal patience I have for blizzard games...kinda diminished.

No, it sounds like a pretty tiny balancing change lol

Seriously, they change this stuff every god damn week. The game is 100% ready for beta, they've even said so themselves. Why do you think they were saying they were gonna release beta during the summer, then said they had to push it back due to battle.net 2.0 problems?

At this point there are 2 potential issues:

1 - Single Player is more than 6 months away from being ready, thus they can't start beta because there'd be too big a gap between beta and release.

2 - Battle.net 2.0 is not ready.

Pick one.

That would be a great idea, even just the first mission of the campaign would be awesome. I'd be happy to see something.

Since they already said numerous times that it is BattleNet 2.0 that causing the delays I think it means that it is BattleNet 2.0 that is slowing things down. If they can't release BattleNet 2.0 and sc2 gets canceled all their other games will be canceled as well, such as Diablo3 and any other yet to come games.

So back in june we get a "very very soon" and now its gonna be over 6 months for the beta to come out, im sorry but that's just the biggest bunch of horse shit i've ever seen. No circumstances short of all the battle.net 2.0 hardware blowing up in a massive and kick ass explosion could cause such an unexpected delay.

This isn't really news is it? I mean I think sc2 will be released at the very earliest summer of 2010 and I thought they'd already conveyed that message.

edit: Oh the beta won't even start until 2010? yikes... Says sc2 will still come out during the first half of 2010 though, but I'm not quite sure I believe that.

A fuck, It's the same exact mockup pictures of BattleNet 2.0 they presented in Blizzcon and what they now are showing at the German IgroMir gaming expo convention. They seem to have made zero progress since Blizzcon.

Eh...is this really confirmed? All we have is an Google-translated statement on a Russian fansite that's itself most likely a Russian translation of a single answer from a Q & A session.

Now, it very well could be true... but I think I'm going to hold off jumping off any bridges until we get some kind of official confirmation here.

I don't know why anyone expected Beta in 2009 with an expected release around mid 2010. I call 7th-14th Feb, because I read some stupid theory about how that makes sense and it was plausable.

So the game has been delayed by a year now, how many thinks it will take another year? I think it will take at least half a year more.

I waited until the point that I don't even care about the game anymore. To be honest, gameplay of Brood War is way better looking and more exciting to watch. SC2 will never match the sheer awesomeness of Brood War!

This kind of sucks, I mean Blizzard should be taking their time in order to produce a good game and all, but they also run the risk of keeping us waiting and not keeping deadlines thus making some of the fanbase angry.

Quoth a wise netizen of the SC2 forums some time back: "SC2 is going to be a great game, and our grandchildren are going to love playing it"

Seriously, why don't they push it to like 2012/13 so they can excite us by moving the date UP?

FA - aren't they still changing the game pretty frequently though? Unless that's not what you mean by 100% ready for beta? Actually now that I think of it, the Q&As have pretty much stopped. Maybe they're pretty happy with what they got. Meh..

I don't think any form of release date from blizzard excites anybody anymore haha.

I'm guessing some part of this is the fact Activision doesn't want their already stacked holiday lineup to have any more internal competition.

I'm sorry but is every single user that posted on this thread braindead?(i haven't read all 4 pages, maybe someone said this already) Blizzard always said that EU and KR beta stages will will start after the US one, since they have to setup up the server infrastructure.

This doesn't mean that they pushed back the US beta again, it just means that in Russia the beta will come in 2010.
The beatings will continue untill morale improves.

People will forget all about this delay once the game is released. It is way better than releasing the game on time but with obvious imbalance problem, and shitty online match service, because then the fanbase will remeber that for sure.

I can't say I'm surprised. I'm used to waiting by now. I know that eventually I'll be playing Starcraft 2 with a huge smile on my face, I guess that takes away all the harsh and careless changes of "release date" that Blizzard continuously throws at us. I love starcraft, but I don't know in which hole I want to stick Blizzard.

AGAIN...all we have is the one, Google-translated Q & A which says, and I quote: Q: When will StarCraft 2?
A: Tomorrow (laughter). Of course not. Usually Blizzard we're not talking about dates. While we plan for next year to do a beta test.
As soon as we feel that the game is released we will release it soon.


The fact that this is a Google-translated Russian transcription of a live event, the fact that Beta in Russia won't start until 2010 regardless (even if its late November/December here, it's gonna take a while to get everything up and running), and the fact that even in the US, they're still going to be doing the bulk of their Beta testing in 2010 (hence, possibly we're "doing a Beta test" next year...anyone?) all don't exactly add to the veracity of this story. Especially as this is the only source for this "scoop" I've been able to find.

Now, again, this could very well be true...but, come on, this just isn't convincing stuff. At all. When Karune or Cydra or someone official confirms it, yeah, I'll be sad. But at this point, I'm becoming less and less convinced of the veracity of this extremely-overhyped-yet-largely-groundless rumor by the moment.

Hold your horses, people...

And Valve said the source code leak was what held back the release of Half Life 2.

Let's consider some facts:

1 - In May~June 2009, Blizzard started sending out beta invites to some handpicked players (you can find a newspost about it here), as well as telling gaming journalists to prepare themselves by making battle.net accounts.

2 - They then followed that up by announcing "beta this summer".

3 - They then cancelled this citing Battle.net 2.0 as the reason, and moved beta to "late 2009".

Now, you could be all paranoid about this and think it has something to do with the multiplayer not being ready, but why would you? Everyone who has played the game seems to think it's more or less ready to go into beta, Blizzard are saying it's ready to go into beta...

There have been NO big changes to multiplayer in a looooooooong time. When was the last time you saw a unit cut? Aside from the macro mechanics, that are almost a year old by now, when was the last time you saw a new feature?

Maybe it's not Battle.net 2.0 that's holding things back, maybe it's single player. Maybe it's Modern Warfare being released and them not wanting to collide with it.

Maybe the reading in goats innards suggested they push it back, I don't know, I'm just fairly sure it has nothing to do with multiplayer gameplay.

People spend all this time complaining about the parts of the game that suck, then complain when Blizzard delays the beta to spend more time refining it.

this is worrying. sc2 itself is a content-driven project, but bnet2 should be (mostly) a software engineering project. and for software engineering projects, repeated delays are never a good sign for the eventual result quality.

actually... why do they have to wait for bnet? just get ppl to beta test the actual game first while they are working on bnet, then do beta 2 for bnet. but honestly... I would rather they improve sc:bw's graphics then have sc2

LMAO I'm not even buying this game when it comes out now... seriously I'm getting modern warfare 2 when it comes out tuesday and than battlefield bad company 2 when it comes out in the spring and thats it for my gaming days. Those games are so much better and fun than this overhyped POS will ever be. Long live broodwar, sadly this game will never be as fun as broodwar. Obviously it must be economically for them to spend so much time on this game when you bet they will not only be drawing the $60 x 3 times from loving bw fans from this game it will also be reaching in your pocket at every corner of bnet 2.0. The long wait is probably just a time delay to let more people forget about BW and than when they release starcraft 2 everybody wants to go buy and play. Infinity ward was killed by activision and now its blizzard turn and I do blame all of this on greedy activision. But F them they are not getting a penny from me for this.
good luck have fun!

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

Won't happen. Blizzard invested a shitton in this game, they will not let go and RTS is their domain anyway. Both Ghost and Warcraft quest games were sort of an experimental projects while SC2 is their main plan for moneymaking.

This just makes me glad. Blizzard still hasn't changed. Any other company would've said "shit we've already heald the public's attention on this for so long. We have to get this game out on the market now no matter how much more perfect it could be, before people get impatient and lose interest." They're still figuring out what to do with this game to make it as revolutionary as possible, to make all the dreams they put into their work come true. And hopefully with that kind of rare work ethic they will figure it out, eventually.

I mean they could use some better organization, maybe, or just start developing even earlier and release news even later. But few other companies seem to operate like this and it seems to show in the quallity of products.

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.

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...

I hope BN2.0 is worth it... and as great lan latency is I hope they are doing much more than mainly preparing more servers... maybe pushing down system requirements for SC2 too?

and yea I have more time to actually accomplish anything in terms of SC skill ;;

The longer until SC2 is released the better, for the sake of BW, iCCup, and SK.

They're counting on the end of the world hitting before they relese SC2...

At least give me D3 before that.

I'm still convinced that StarCraft 2 is the biggest April's Fools joke in the history of video gaming. In fact this game doesn't even exist, every screenshot has been pre-rendered and everybody who says that he played it on BlizzCON lies. Everybody. Happy April 2010.

it's a strategy that blizzard likes to employ to let us know they're in control of their game, not kespa nor us, and to give us a message that they can do whatever the fuck they want with it.

We all know that Blizz isn't developing a game, they are developing their biogenetics project where they are creating and breeding zerg to take over the world.

This is really just ridiculous. On the positive side, my spring semester was already going to be crazy. Now I'll be able to succeed at everything I'm planning on doing, with no gaming distractions. Heck, If I don't end up with a beta key, I can even pass Organic Chem sophmore year with all the extra study time.

In fact blizz, just postpone this game until summer 2013 and let me graduate with a 4.0 - then I'll buy it.

psy is from pokemon -.-

Bnet2.0 seemed very far along at Blizzcon. I guess they want it "perfect" before beta because there will always be problems they never would have been able to detect.

I'm not sure anything has been confirmed yet, although that isn't to say it's wrong. I guess what I'm trying to say is that when it was clear SC2 wasn't going to be released this year, Blizzard put up an announcement on the battle.net forums.

I expect the same would happen for the beta especially considering all the times in the past where they "confirmed" that it would happen 2009. In a sense, because they haven't posted anything yet it might mean that are still optimistic of a 2009 beta release. Either that, or the public isn't even worth it anymore to bother such an announcement. Given the silence with the recent activities, either scenario could be true.

Finally officially confirmed by Xordiah: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=20861002638&pageNo=1&sid=3000#11
He was talking about beta in general and not specifically about a Russian beta.

About Mike Morhaime contradicting that. Where did you read it? Don't remember him saying anything other that the development team is working hard towards beta - which they in fact are. This does not contradict Chris' statement though.

Also crushes the speculation that he was only referring to Russian beta as well.

Sad to hear, can't say it's unexpected tho, every company (not just Blizzard) is pushing back betas (Duke Nukem Forever anyone?)

It hurts to hear that they are working with fan feedback and they know the best fan feedback is gongi to come after they give us the beta. until then we don't really know shit in terms of balance and feel. Theorycrafting can only go so far.

Shut up and get on with your life. You're so stupid I doubt you realize just how much goes into making a video game of this caliber. Get on with your life, SC2 will come out when it's ready and you'll buy it like the bitch you are.

based on battle reports, the actual game sucks, and no matter how long they postpone beta, it will still suck unless some major changes are made.

good thing is that at least someone in blizzard seems to be aware of this problem.

Personally, i think there are some unspoken legal conflicts that are holding things back. Stuff with ratings and copyright and such. I could be wrong, but that's the only thing that comes to mind with a delay such as this. The game does seem to be beta ready and yes, bnet 2.0 doesn't seem like that much of a stretch, unless theyre trying to develop their own software, or build infrastructure or something.

I don't know if that's something that can be checked up on, but multi-national legal problems could be a source of delay without reason.

just a theory but are they releasing a foreign language (eg korean) beta as well as the english?
this may be slowing them down?

Blizard messed up the release schedule. was supposed to look like this:

november 2009 SC2
first half of 2010 WoW: cataclysm

3.3(will be released this or next month) is supposed to be the last content patch for WoW
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=20464486377&postId=203051101516&sid=1#1

after the last content patch usualy takes half year to release the next expansion. so 2010 june...
if the WoW exp will be released in june than there is no way SC2 comes out in the first half of 2010

if SC2 comes out in the first half of 2010(beta in jan or feb) they need to delay the WoW exp and release another content patch. WoW ppl will cry so it's unlikely

one thing is certain. they need to release a beta early next year. if it's the WoW exp beta we are fucked and SC2 will be released in Q4 2010:s

Why is everyone acting like WoW and SC2 are linked in development? The development teams for the two games are *entirely* separate. Do you think they could have gotten this far without having separate teams? WoW has been in development constantly since it's been released, if Blizzard couldn't work on other games at the same time they woudn't have even gotten this far.

As for waiting, you must not be used to pre-launch game hype, let along Blizzard pre-launch game hype. It's pretty much the definition of waiting. If you don't want to wait, just find something else to do with your extra time than following every step of SC2 development.

They've already admitted before that they pulled SC2 devs for WoW back during the early stages. I believe they're separate most of the time, but honestly they're going to do whatever they have to in order to keep WoW running smoothly.

Once they commit to the SC2 beta, do you think they must also commit to running that beta smoothly like they do to WoW?.

Until they do that, then yes, they can shuffle devs around as much as they want because they do not have to worry about committing to running the beta. If this is the case then I think the biggest delay will in fact be... right now.

But Blizzard's resources are still finite. Spending more on wow, hiring more staff, putting more money toward development, paying more overtime, buying and maintaining better servers etc, ultimately means less of is spent on similar things for games we at teamliquid prefer. A dollar spent on a wow expansion is a dollar not spent developing starcraft 2. This might not hold true for time since they have separate development teams with separate skills, but it still holds true for money. TL is not the center of the universe, and blizzard makes much more money selling wow subscriptions; it makes more sense for them to spend more time and money on wow, even if it comes at the expense of their other games. I'm still surprised they ever announced sc2 given how successful wow has been. I'm betting that each dollar spent developing and refining wow yields them a higher return than each to be spent on sc2 will end up earning them. Wow just appeals to such a gigantic audience, it doesn't matter if it's a "worse" game. If they manage to secure a pretty sweet deal with broadcasters and sc2 as a competitive televised game grows in popularity, maybe my guess will be wrong(it'll be impossible to find out either way, of course).

Remember, the game has to come out like 6-12 months after they begin the beta, so the beta is like a practically finished game. I'm kinda glad they're taking their time refining it. I'd personally rather have them release it later but have a very balanced first ladder season than have them release it earlier and have the first few months of the game's ladder suck balls and be hideously imbalanced (war3).
Our Protoss, Who art in Aiur HongUn be Thy name; Thy stalker come, Thy will be blunk, on ladder as it is in Micro Tourny. Give us this win in our daily ladder, and forgive us our cheeses, As we forgive those who play zerg against us.

Personally, i think there are some unspoken legal conflicts that are holding things back. Stuff with ratings and copyright and such. I could be wrong, but that's the only thing that comes to mind with a delay such as this. The game does seem to be beta ready and yes, bnet 2.0 doesn't seem like that much of a stretch, unless theyre trying to develop their own software, or build infrastructure or something.

I don't know if that's something that can be checked up on, but multi-national legal problems could be a source of delay without reason.

just a theory but are they releasing a foreign language (eg English) beta as well as the english?
this may be slowing them down?

Fixed
Blizzard outsourced the scripting to S. Korea and got Korean voice actors, since there are more customers there and the rest of it's employees can work on WoW.

Actually, that would be interesting if the game came out in both languages and you could toggle them as an option. It might make listening to Korean commentators harder for those who don't speak Korean, but...
I can already see the ending

So was it actually confirmed that they pulled people off SC2 to work on WoW? I've heard lots of people say it was confirmed but have NEVER seen any actual confirmation of this.

All I see is a bunch of people bitching at the company who made the BEST GAME EVER and sold it for 20 bucks and still host the online play ELEVEN YEARS later for FREE, about not making the NEXT best game ever fast and good enough.

All I see is a bunch of self styled game theory EXPERTS who think they are smarter than the entire SC2 development team bitching about how bad sc2 is going to be, with only the battle reports to judge by.

If you saw Dustin Browder in the street, what would you say to him? Would you run up to him, kick him in the balls, and yell "HOW DARE YOU NOT RELEASE THE BETA ON TIIIIIME?!"

You make it sound like blizzard has done you some personal disservice by doing exactly what they always do, and by doing exactly what makes them great.


Goddamnit, some of you should really be ashamed of yourselves.

The hate is almost entirely because of WoW, and the inherent negative stereotypes of MMOs and MMO players.

WoW is just a game where you kill pigs all day, and the people who are addicted to it lose their lives as they pay monthly fees to Blizzard. Therefore Blizzard is a greed monster who is bent on keeping these people addicted and ignoring the true games they should be developing for the real gamers out there.

So anything we see from future blizzard games will be compared to WoW (graphics, gameplay), and people will assume they are trying to fuck everyone over who buys their games ( OMGGG pay2play for battlenet!!!!? END OF THE WORLDDD).

And seeing as Blizzard has spent so much time on WoW, it's only reasonable to assume that they have lost all their talent at making balanced RTS games, which gives everyone the right to write enormous analytical articles about a balance problems of an RTS game that is in its alpha stage

------------------------------


in all seriousness, i understand why people are dissapointed with the delays, but all the criticism towards blizzard is sometimes just plain silly.

and while WoW is still an excellent game, they really have changed the focus entirely to the casual gamer, which is kind of sad =/

and going to a Blizzcon to find out that 70% of the people there don't even know what Starcraft or Diablo is makes me a sad gamer.

If you're referring to the talk of delays in early development, a number of online articles quote their source as straight from Pardo. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=317499

If you're talking about recent delays being WoW-related, that's just individual speculation. Honestly though I wouldn't blame them for pulling SC2 staff to solve WoW emergencies.

I can't figure how extra staff from SC2 could bring a faster solution to Chinese WoW problems, but if they did I would fully expect those staff to get pulled. That's just smart business.

Shut up and get on with your life. You're so stupid I doubt you realize just how much goes into making a video game of this caliber. Get on with your life, SC2 will come out when it's ready and you'll buy it like the bitch you are.


gonna quote this periodically till you get banned

Thanks Tsagacity, but who is pardo?

I also do not see how pulling people from sc2 would help with wow. It is a classic mistake of managers who know little of computer science to think that throwing more code writers at a project will make it work better, I should think that blizzard has more class than making that kind of mistake. You don't get to have millions of monthly customers without good management.

Two Chinese government agencies are having a pissing match over which one of them gets to regulate MMORPGs, and WoW is caught in the crossfire.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

I'm not sure how bad it is this time, but over the summer the government essentially shut down WoW in China for a while, which is like half the game's subscription base.

China STILL hasn't gotten WoTLK, WoW's most recent expansion. They're still playing on TBC content and Blizzard's already planning to release their next expansion. I feel bad for China, they've basically missed a whole expansion now. Not to mention the repercussions this had on WoW as an e-sport for them as no Chinese teams have been able to compete in anything due to all this as well.

Honestly, some one needs to tell china they should keep playing TBC.

WOTLK is just a casual EZ mode

Why hasn't China gotten wotlk? Has their government restricted the sale or something? And Honestly eMbrace is right in a way heh. Although Wrath has some very interesting story elements the gameplay and the raids are just so disappointing. They need to make the next raid a 40 man that is on the level of the old world raids and well designed. Let them make at least ONE new raid that casuals can't have access to.

Yep, completely agree with eMbrace. I unsubbed back in May because the PvP was just so terrible and that's all I really played the game in the first place. It just turned into such a no-skill, newbie zergfest. Going from S2/3/4 glad war to having my classes representation down to .5% in the top 200 was not fun. -_-

China has very strict rules on what people can see in games. i.e. no skeletons. wotlk never passed the approval process yet I don't believe. The game has to be heavily modified to fit china's strict censorship.

has to do with they way skeletons are viewed in china. I forgot what they symbolize there, but its a no go when it comes to video games. I think things cannot be showing flesh as well (zombies). Cant remember on that one though. There was a article showing images of the two games side by side.
