Lol why? If they hadn't had this whole China problem (that's what makes the most sense to me anyway, in terms of explaining these delays) they probably would have started the beta around the end of june.
I mean, EVERYTHING pointed to the beta being released around then (invites to press and players for one), then suddenly nothing happens.
2009 was a realistic goal if it wasn't for these unforseen problems IMO.

Well we already have many winning features announced such as episodic content for maximum cashola, no LAN to keep control over all multiplayer communities AND maximum cashola, online only features for single player, so who knows by 2010 maybe they'll add some extra DRM to make the awesomeness complete. Pay to watch online replays? I dunno sounds pretty good to me.
Also, how tragically unexpected. DRM isn't bad if you actually buy it, seriously.
DRM is only bad if you actually buy it, since if you don't buy it you'll have a nice crack to bypass it lol -_-

This is lame, I was hoping to be playing freshly released SC2 during my uni break, but now it appears it'll launch at the worst time in my life (during lead-up to my most important uni exams in the whole course)
|
A bit disappointed. Hope beta's comming this year.
|
AH MAN! my heart is not strong enough to hear "in the future" anymore
Blizzard is a great company but seriously guys, this starcraft2 release thing has been a complete failure :b
|
Dam, I was so hyped up after hearing "we hope to have beta begin this summer" and "we hope to have the game out by the end of the year". Still looking forward to playing the game, but maaaaan the wait is keeeling me.
|
whyyyyyyy blizz dont do this to me T ___________________T
|
Not surprised, yet so disappointed.
|
See, and you guys were complaining that we aren't getting any SC2 news...lol
I just hope the "beta this summer" statement is still true.
|
I don't mind of the release date, really.
But why the F**k do they feel oblige to make us think it will be released at a date or another.
Just do your job you tards.

People please...
This was hardly a surprise seeing as both Dustin and Chris stated that B.net 2.0 ideas and work was "kinda up in the air, although we wish it weren´t" back in like april or early may..
They have been working on this so long. Whatever it is, it is giving them trouble. They aren´t gods, there just ordinary people working 24/7 trying to get the damn thing to run and release it. Respect that and we all get along fine. Go do whatever it is you do in your totally average everyday situation and suddently it´s SC2 time .P
Besides... all the hate towards the game development taking so long is not justified. The game ITSELF is finished.. beta state.. and has been for quite some time now.. it is only BNET 2.0 that is givign trouuuuble. They want it to be perfect, and I´m quite sure it will be. They never EVER let me down before.. so why start now? Doesn´t seem like it.. now does it..
So relax guys... It´ll be here soon enough...
Meanwhile... CHEERS :D

I dont think China is the problem, afterall the beta will be in America first.
They invited people, they announced a 2009 release, and then cancelled their Battle.net press event because bnet is "up in the air" and everything stopped. Bnet is the issue here.

It is obvious that starcraft and battle.net are completely different departments within blizzard. Whatever happened it sounds like browder was blind-sided by these battle.net problems at the last minute. Maybe it is unstable or dies under load testing like what happened to stardock when they released their demigod game. Maybe it is just really really far behind or had a bad project manager. Maybe some third party they've contracted with dropped the ball.
My question is whether the starcraft 2 team will continue working on the game or be shifted to other projects in the meantime? Maybe they could start heavily tweaking it, changing some units and tech around while they are waiting so that they can make the most of it.

Beta prices have just doubled.
|
I saw this coming for a while now, but it's sad that now it is confirmed
|
we look forward to delivering a real-time strategy gaming experience worthy of the series’ legacy in the first half of 2010.
From end of 2009 to HALF of 2010? So delayed for at max 6 months? Horrible, i guess the strat to delay SCII because of MWII was a go :-/

I'm going to kill vradovic. For some reason, that bastard gave me hope for beta within the next month.
|

Ahaha,  pure guy

I wonder if/when they'll give us any news about how this effects beta -_-
A 2010 retail delay was already obvious if Browder was right about beta lasting 4-6 months.
|
Well, I can't say I didn't expect this. Did anyone else get the feeling from reading the blue post that beta could still be quite far off, like past Blizzcon or even Summer altogether? I dunno.. that's just what it sounded like to me.
They were way too ambitious with releasing beta for this game and made the announcement way too early imo.
