Starcraft II: Beta

Post by short »

Curious for anyone who is interested/gets into the Beta, would LOVE to hear what you think. I'm still hoping myself or one of my roommates gets in, I haven't played the old one in soooo long.

I've heard that in many respects its the same to Starcraft with just better graphics and a few different units. I don't know how "true" this is. I was never as addicted to SC as I'd like to be.

Anyway, here's a teaser for something in Starcraft II that's gone incredibly under the radar so far. Enjoy!

The catch is that there's apparently going to be a battlenet market place, where you can 'buy' maps/mods/etc... which I assume blizzard takes a cut.
