Other than that:1. Beta sets a pretty concrete schedule for release. 2. Countless streams + HD VODs daily instead of 1 battle report every 4 months. | ||

Why would they give out keys for open beta. The hype is because the sooner beta starts, the sooner release comes! And the chance of getting a key is there too. | ||

SC2 has prettier graphics, yes, but they look way less good for spectating. And they also made the game way easier and way less of a management game, which is the best thing about SC. SC was kind of oddly balanced, very asymmetrical using overpowered units like defilers with swarm and consume, high templars with storm and Arbiters with stasis. But SC2 might be imbalanced and then balanced in a way that's boring. Most RTS games play like PvP. It's the typical feel of how an RTS game is played. But that's very very different from the other matchups. But SC2 needs to happen, of course. If only they made it mechanically demanding like SC and if only you can see when a marine or SCV dies instantly, among dozens of other units, on a low quality youtube stream. I actually think there is improvement over the way SC was balanced. P was too easy. Many units were silly overpowered. Zerg has to rush to defiler. PvZ Zerg has an insane strategical advantage. TvT games can go on 20 minutes after they should have ended. But was SC2 actually designed to be that way? There's only 1 strong SC player on the SC2 team. And only now many other strong players will start to play the game. Many things are already set in stone. Maybe for the right but probably for the wrong. And yeah, almost all of us won't get into beta. We can just wait and sit there watching other people both figure out the game for us and get ahead skill wise. | ||

I was seriously speechless, more from confusion than anything. I just could not believe this was actually going down. Badass! *crosses fingers to get beta key* | ||

I'm quiet shure that competitive SC will last at least 2-4 more years. And there will always be amatuer SC even in 20 years (they still play doom 1 today on a high level)! And if SC2 will be so lame as you propose (and I don't think so) there will be a split like in CS1.6/CSS with professional and "elite" players staying with 1.6 until the end of time while the (greater) "casual" crowd enjoys CSS. | ||

I also think that even if SC2 can eventually trump SC:BW, it will require years of balancing. My main excitement over the game in general is just over the community expansion. I want to have a fun time with my friends who are too daunted by BW. | ||

Would you rather be the one having sex, or the one watching others have sex? What a stupid comparison. It's like never having had sex your entire life, and then someone comes over and says that for a few months, you will have the opportunity to watch and learn everything about sex, and then, after that, you get to have it too. | ||
