The game music sounds wonderful.

Zerg's music sounds hella wicked +

Just saw a match with Protos casting Chrono Boost on allies.

Reactor + Chrono generated large number of marines; it works for zergs if you cast it onto their Hatchery as well.

fast Queen gg.

[Demolitions]

No.
Prices won't be set until the game is ready to be mass produced and shipped worldwide.
Anything mentioned would be false.

[Goldie]

The macro and micro seem a lot slower. Slower then WC3.

[k0n]

It's because they made improvements in the UI. As long as the game is timing strict, it will be competitive.

Why believe that? Most commercial games sell around $50-60 per unit. Just because it's Starcraft II doesn't make it worth $100 more.

I mysteriously installed the beta version of Starcraft 2....

[Vioded]

Man this is "THE GAME".
Can't wait till I get my hands on this and im sure online is gonna be hectic.
I wonder if theres still that map designer program with special scenario rules.
Also im still thinking is terreain gonna have more defensvie stuff, zergs get more faster, and protoss more stronger (ya I saw the preview on the mothership).

[k0n]

Mothership = Arbiters?

[Adun]

Still no beta key for me yet. Kinda hopeful for one.

Mothership is way better though.

Mothership + Carriers = I WIN
Unless you got a shitload of Anti Air units, then you best bend over and take it.

I mysteriously downloaded and bypassed the login to watch replays on.. So beautiful.

[k0n]

I just miss massing Arbiters though Double Arbiters was <3

[Goldie]

Hows the cheese in SC2?

[Light]

BUG FIXES

Addressed an issue causing people to receive an "Internal Battle.net Error" message with their game client.

Muting your microphone will no longer cause your microphone to be turned off in the operating system once the program has exited.

Please note that the voice chat functionality has only partially been implemented. There are many known issues with voice chat that we expect to address in a future patch.

The "Medium" graphical settings were reconfigured to work better on appropriate machines. The video settings "auto-detect" functionality has been reset as a result.

Added a frame rate limiter to the game menus to prevent some graphics cards from running at higher frame rates than necessary.

They degraded the mothership too much :1

[WhatThePho]

Mother ship was weak enough as it is against a fellow protoss player.

Glad that they nerfed the reaper damage and chrono boost though.

[Maiyu]

You lucky people with SC II Beta Keys :/
