Starcraft 2 Beta


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the info bro.

As for the LAN...that sucks, BUT surely someone will mod that in within a few months? lol

also yeah the cracked AI sucks so badly.

That is because the cracked AI is using a messed up version from the original game however, with the new abilities and whatnot the AI simply does not have the power to do anything.

So did gamestop run out of beta keys? i preordered last week so i got my key.. seems pretty funny actually they are out of keys yet upsetting for those wanting one

yeah. We ran out the day and time blizzard announced Starcraft2 released date... How ironic.

It's still a closed beta so I'm happy on that aspect. But Jesus. No notice or anything. I feel bad but we hve 25k people so hopefully this is a good test.

Also they need to put servers up for patching. Not stupid ass torrenting ****

Ugh, so they are using the WoW type of patching system? Boooooooo

also if u use the blizzard updater.. try disabling peer download... the download is usually faster just downloading from there server

The better thing to do is extract the torrent file from the downloader and then open the torrent file in your torrent client of choice.

Doing this will give you a huge speed increase because Blizzard's client is a piece of crap.

The patching system isn't perfect, but they're trying to reduce the overall cost of sending so much data. The p2p options above are the best way to get this to work faster and as Sikh has noted sometimes disabling peers makes it slower.

I'll play as soon as i get a code, lol.

Sure! :D

I'm currently sitting in 19th position, gold league, but I am too "scared" to play without a proper mate, had 6 wins, but then got random-teamed up with two *****, they only defended themselves... No attacks, no help, no anything. :(

By the way, today I am awesome on solo! :rofl: ~20 wins and ~3 losses! :D

Could anyone link me to a direct download of the EU client? It says... 7 HOURS until it will finish downloading...screw that!

Epic indeed. Just ~3 months left until I can get my hands on the Collector's Edition.

Whats sad is I want 2! I want that crazy kickass flash drive. I love collecting cool flash drives plus I know I would use it and be proud when people ask me where its from what it is(for the non techy).

Also, I want 1 as a true collectors and sits there, but right now i dont have $100 to "waste". I mean this is the best CE thats come out in the past few years for PC, so its a definite buy. I would never pay $60 for just the game anyway. The Soundtrack will be awesome xD. Starcraft in the car.

Haha! I'd buy two if I had the money to spare. I'm not big on collecting things but if I could buy one to use and another keep (sealed and everything), I'd definitely do it. Who knows how much it'd be worth once StarCraft III is released. :p

Anyway, I think I'll replay the StarCraft/Brood War campaign. It's been so long since I last played it and lately, the lore behind StarCraft has peaked my interest. I'm in it for the MP action but I'm also in it for the story. I'll just throw this here: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/blizzcon-09-starcraft-ii/54293 :)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
