Yeah =)
http://www.starcraft2.com/beta-faq.xml
"For months, StarCraft fans have patiently waited for the beginning of the beta. In spite of Blizzard intending to start the beta testing process for a very long time, it`s start has experienced continuous delays even after Blizzard had a firm time window for it. Over time, fans have grown increasingly weary and tired of the "final stretch", but nevertheless maintained hope.
Now their hopes have finally been fulfilled. During the Activision Blizzard Investor Conference Call on February 10th, which was streamed over the Internet, Blizzard co-founder and president Mike Morhaime announced that the StarCraft II beta testing process would begin later this month. He also said that the StarCraft II is aimed to be released mid-2010 and that the StarCraft II beta will also serve as a platform for testing the new Battle.net
Just as a reminder, the beta will first start in the North America region along with Australia and New Zealand first. This will be followed by Asia and then Europe. It is currently known if the North America phase also includes countries in South and Central America."My friend actually got 2 Keys for the Beta from Blizzcon 2 years ago  Apparently they go for 200$+ on eBay. I'v never really been a fan of Starcraft,although I loved Warcraft and I keep hearing good things about the SC series  He might offer me a key  Anyways,anyone going to play the beta?

Funny Starcraft quote from a Korean rapper singing about Starcraft.
"My love is like a Zergling rush, fast and hard"

Finally I get to play this, been waiting well over a year since I got in the beta.
Shit... beta followed almost immediately by release is gonna be bad >.> Well, at least the expansions will fix balance issues.

looks good but I doubt it will be as good as starcraft. Trying to make a perfectly balanced game even better is very difficult. irregardless I'd still give it a try, looks like a fun game

Unless you zoom in I guess,kinda like in the Total War series. erhh no, the more you zoom in, the less is visible, so it needs to calculate less movements onscreen. it really depends on the game's physics... I hear a lot of people lag during ship battles in Age of Empires 3. My whole game has an fps of 20 or so nonstop, maybe even less Q_Q.
