lol, I'm so gonna download the HOTS starter edition, I play zerg anyway, I don't like the ladder and Xel'naga caverns is the most popular map on EU so I won't have a chance to play another map anyway, the campaign is really easy to crack... so, good job blizzard. i highly doubt there will be starter edition for HotS and LotV. the starter version is supposed to simply be a teaser of what the real thing is, that way people will want to buy it. see it as a demo, so it's highly unlikely that they will release a demo of the expensions.
yeh you are probably right, this makes sense.

I ask simply from curiosity, but how has SC2 done so far in resisting hacked versions?
It resisted them for almost a year.

It's a nice step. But it would have been nicer to:
- Give all three races.
- Access to ladder.
- Access to all maps.
Then disable Singleplayer. From there they can apply microtransactions to:
- missions
- decals
- portraits
- challenges
I think that works best.
So give everyone access to the only thing is SC2 that actually matters?
I have multiple friends who bought this game day one, play it daily, and still haven't jumped into any of the campaign, it would make no sense for them to give up the best part of their game for free...

this is great for watching replays on my mac, i wonder how it'll run though.

Q. Can I play a match with other players who have the full game? Can I create a match with a friend?
A. StarCraft II players with a full game license can join a custom game on the trial maps to play with Starter Edition players. Please note that the party system is unavailable to Starter Edition players, so matchmaking will be random and it will not be possible to select specific players to play a match with.
This seems like a really odd choice. Maybe I've read it wrong, but it sounds very difficult to link up with friends using the starter pack.
I'd have thought something like 75% of the starter-pack guys would be sent to it by friends with the full game, and would want to try it primarily with their buddies. Really odd limitation on Blizzard's part; I feel like they've shot themselves in the foot there.
EDIT: Nevermind. I'm wrong.

Think I'll bung this on my kids computer, my son has been wanting to give it a go but havn't had the money to buy him an account, think this will be a good way to get started.

Suddenly TvT will be everybody's best MU.
On a more serious note though, Does this have to do with that LAN client that has circulated through google?
|
At least they get some awesome 1v1 maps IMO.
|
blizzard's way to encourage more terran players, lol

I can only hope cross-region support comes to the game before I buy a ASIA/EU account.

I think that was some sort of crack that allowed you to set up your own server. This is legit.

So, they were working on terrancraft. I thought it was only a rumor.
I might get my wife to play.

tnx blizz, now all my frends will see how sc2 is awesome 
|
My little brother (11) is going to be so sad 
He's used my account to play against AI and he's wanted to play against me but he likes Protoss.
|
Good stuff, my friends who watch SC on youtube can watch real replays on their PCs now
And see that fast APM at work of pro players
