So glad my bro got the invite..... installed beta yesterday. Only 10,000 ppl online roughly 3pm Pacific. Wonder what the actual amount of invites tht went out?
i gave mine to my friend that whined the most!
I need a friend with an invite :-(
@blu8503
same here lol ;]
Hey. Wanna be my friend?
ebay?
I'll be anyone's online lover for an invite!
Need more people to make the game more fun. Right now it's ladder only 2v2 and the guys who are playing are obviously "pros." I guess I suck but I'm like 14-34 or something right now. Oh well.
Well, from what I can tell a lot of people, is not everyone got a key to give out. Judging from the player numbers basically doubling. They hovered around 5000 online at any given time.
Ahh, no love for me Blizzard? Even after giving you $500-750 over the years? Ha.
Cool idea though. Have fun everyone.

Money can't buy love... You just need a lot more money...
SC2 isn't as good as it was hyped to be IMO. To me, if WC3 were to receive a balance patch (or a reduction in item importance), it'd be the better game.
It seems, after all, SC2 is still really all about SC1 style button mashing. I guess that was the intent, but it doesn't make it fun to play, or watch for that matter.
I recommend you don't shell out too much for the beta on the assumption it's great.
I know it's just the beta, but I'm pretty sure they're wanting to keep their artificial macro mash features.
i want BETAAAAAAAAA
Single player vs cpu has already been cracked over 2 weeks ago.
Man- wish I knew anyone in the beta!
I'd give my right pinky for a key right now.
can you believe people in craigslist actually selling beta keys for $200?!?!
I want beta too.
Single player is getting boring.

Maybe not for you, but SC is ~5 years older than WC3 and for some reason it is still the #1 game so far as pro-gaming goes world wide.
i need an invite!

I have this... uh... "friend" who told me it's been cracked and available way longer than 2 weeks...
Games fun so far but man roaches are overpowered! 125hp and full health in a few seconds of burrowed!

you must be out of your mind to call Starcraft a button masher. If anyways its the antithesis of button mashing.
You just need money SC beta Keys are listed on Ebay as I type this and there is no way I would every pay 2-5x the asking price of the full game just to get into a beta

I heard that as well. The only thing I've seen working is the replays. Which is pretty cool in itself. However, from what I've seen of the gameplay and character models, not worth BUYING a free beta key. Hope people will listen to reason. The game will be out this year.

That's why it's in beta.

AI works if you get the right one. It's a pretty nice game but the AI in the beta isn't very good. Still fun for me though, as I'm not very good at starcraft to begin with.
For couple thousand bucks I can give you beta keys.
(now I didn't mention what the keys unlocked, or where I got them. But if you got the ca$h I got the keys).
ayone would like to invite me?
Or Blizzard's plan is going to backfire when no one wants to play against people who've had the game months longer (and had months more to develop strategies and figure the game out) than the people who purchased it after the release date.
