SC2 BETA OMG!!!!!! sorta.

Which I find funny because it comes out on the 27th. Next week. Thanks Blizzard. But, about the game. It’s SC. It’s everything that you will want from a RTS game. The unit design and building design are pretty solid. The building process is very smooth. In fact I found myself losing games because I was too busy looking at how smooth it was. I can’t divulge too much of the game. What I can say is that I like it and will be playing the single player until my eyes bleed. As for multiplayer, I need WAY more practice.

Something that also should be noted is that Blizzard’s RealID works for SC2. I was chatting with people while getting whipped up on by, most likely, some 8 year old Korean kid in a gaming bang. It’s actually pretty interesting. I’m following the RealID story pretty closely, from Blizzard’s announcement to put real names on forum posts, then their subsequent retraction from that because of the player back-lash. As for the inception of RealID, I like it. However, with things like XboxLive and the Playstation Network, RealID has a pretty clear road map of what to do and what not to do. Imma watch you close blizz. Don’t mess up!
