Now that they are handing out beta keys with preorders, I thought there might be more folks playing the beta.

Anyone else playin it?

My name.id is sithlord.sithlord

They are? Damnit!

Hey! 'Splain!

I preordered from [url]www.ebgames.com[/url]

Note: The first key they gave me was 'already claimed' (wtf!), but I got another one after contacting support.

You can order from anywhere apparently, like Amazon.

FFA is easy because the only thing a Toss player seems to build is collosi, So a balanced build with some battlecruisers and plenty of air will dominate.

FFA is easy because all you have to do is team up with someone privately ingame, hammer everyone else, and then betray him.

Except when they betray you first.

It's just like the original. You'd play as protoss and ally with a terran player; and then they'd defend you while you built carriers and raped everyone else. And then you realize all they are building is goliaths...

Got into the beta today, and it's quite fun. Can't wait to play single player.

I don't like the missing channels/chat rooms though. I know a lot of it was pretty much just open season for spamming, but there were useful sides to it, like finding clans of people to play with easily. Feels like it will be more disconnected, like it'll lose that general sense of game community.

Also, I played it on my PC and Macbook. PC I could run it at near-max (Ultra on nearly everything) just fine, looked great. Surprise when I ran it on my macbook and even at the default all-low settings, it still looked rather good. And the framerate was 60fps! I was actually able to crank up the texture settings beyond what they say it should be, which significantly improved the quality of the game, without a major impact on framerate.

Huh? What are you trying to say here?

Edit: Nevermind. Macbooks are sucky for gaming and it ran SC2 just fine, I get it.
