So i've been watching Nony and Eg's Beta streams, and I had a couple of questions, that everyone who is unlucky and doesn't have a beta is wondering too.
How is SC2 mechanically compared to BW? (in terms of keyboard setups, speed, how it generally works etc.)
How does it run on your comp? I know that they have the general system reqs out, but i was wondering how the game runs on varying grades of computers.

That's all. I strongly suggest and hope other people will post questions as well

Also, does anyone know how many people are playing right now?
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

Good thread idea, I've just been posting this in all the threads hoping someone sees it:

Can you post your system/internet specs and how its running? I feel this is really important and cool information. Are there any graphical things you can customize like low/mid/high? How does the game run on your system?

I wouldn't read too much into 300 - 400. The beta just came out.... people need to get home and download. The majority of the testers are probably WoW players not RTS freaks.

Yeah man it kills me cause I know a good chunk of people who got in (not from this site) will probably play it a few times and get bored.

There have been many improvements to the UI and control. Unlimited selection, working pathfinding, no units blocking building attempts, mass macro and rally points etc. How much easier is the battle against the interface, how many clicks does it actually save?
If I have different unit types selected at the same time, how do I use their different abilities? Does it work with tab, like in WC3?

Nice. Unlimited selection, better pathfinding, and being able to build onto unit locations are definitely big improvements.

500 people were on at one point.

Some interesting changes:

-NO LURKERS in beta build
-There is an upgrade for Roach movement while burrowed

There is a charge(forget what it is called) on each nexus. It takes 50 energy to use, but it works on all buildings to speed up tech and unit production. It worked pretty well at the beginning to speed up probe production. I haven't done a whole lot of testing though.
