I wouldn't be surprised that beta will be out next year simply because Blizzard did say that Battlenet 2.0 won't be ready until 2010.

I totally agree with Aegraen. I'm actually very surprised about the progress of Battlenet 2.0. They are still looking for a lead developer from the Blizzard job finds. I do agree with the people complaining about Blizzards progress. I mean seriously, Blizzard really screwed up their timetable and progress when they told us that Battlenet 2.0 was not ready and then afterwords, we found out they still don't have a lead developer.

People aren't angry at Blizzard delaying their games. Anyone that knows Blizzard should know that their games will always be delayed. SC2 been delayed till 2010 was expected and is actually not the reason that many people are ticked off. What people are angry at is that the game has been in development for 6 years and Battlenet 2.0's progress is extremely limited at the moment. Like Aegraen stated, they should have planned out Battlenet 2.0 3-4 years ago and not wait till the last second when beta is ready to begin that they started to find some errors/stuff that they want to add to Battlenet 2.0 that they decide to delay it again. Dustin Browder has clearly stated that he wants to get into BETA asap. But for some reasons due to terrible development planning, Battlenet 2.0 is way behind. Those kind of stuff should be sorted out while they are developing SC2, not at the last second. That's just bad bad progress planning. Add to the fact that they slap all these silly NDA's and you can clearly see why there are soo many angry fans.

That proves my point. Blizzard should have PLANNED this all along 3-4 years ago and not wait till the last second. Why are they looking for a new developer at this stage if what you said EximoSua was the case? This shouldn't have had happened till the very last second. See where I am getting here? And by all means, my assumptions is just as valid is your assumptions. None of us have valid proofs of what is going on behind the scenes of Battlenet 2.0. But from the sounds of it, I believe mine is actually a bit more valid then yours. Why? Dustin Browder has stated many times that he wants to get SC2 into Beta but Battlenet 2.0 is getting in the way. Dustin Browder and I believe, Chris Sigaty stated that they DON'T EVEN KNOW what is going to be in Battlenet 2.0 which is why I believe that Battlenet 2.0's development has started not too long ago. If Battlenet 2.0 has been in the planning progress since 3-4 years ago, I'm sure that the fundmentals of Battlenet 2.0 would have already been laid out. Dustin Browder + Chris Sigaty wouldn't have given us an answer like that. Knowing Blizzard, they would have said, "This is something that we are not ready to reveal yet." Again, I have no valid proofs for this. But reading into the lines of the Blizzard developers, you can't say that what I just claimed was impossible.

I'm not here ranting about Blizzard's delay or trying to start up a flame war with anyone. I'm just stating out the stuff and possibilities and most importantly, pointing out the 2 sides of this issue at the moment (Blizzard supporters and Ranters). I am by all means, not pissed off at the delay of Sc2. People should understand why many fans are pissed off (NDA's, bad progress planning for Battlenet 2.0). People that are backing up Blizzard should also understand that Blizzard isn't perfect. They make mistakes. When a company makes a mistake, we as customers, have the right to voice our opinions. Without us customers voicing our opinions and supporting them, Blizzard will be nothing. Blizzard ranters should also be patient and understand that Blizzard doesn't want this to happen. They want to get BETA STARTED ASAP. We should all be patient because knowing Blizzard, it will pay off. But in the end, when SC2 is released, everyone (Blizzard supporters and Blizzard ranters) will unite once again and everything will be forgotten. You can count me in as a Sc2 supporter .
