rumor of SC2 Beta?

[andman3000]

have you heard about the rumor of a SC2 beta by the end of 2007? there is more at IGN.com. Im in just a hurry to tell you guys.

Also in the report they said two more units for the old races and blizzard will close the origional SC servers to make sure of SC2 success.


To be honest I dont wanna believe in this.

It's a hoax, and no one should be surprised.

"Kerrigan" race? Dude, that is the Zerg. There's Kerrigan's Zerg, and then there's a relatively few uncontrolled Zerg.

Also, only two new units per race? Sounds like the Brood War expansion. Any time Blizzard has done a sequel huge changes occurred, especially in spellcasters.

[andman3000]

The kerrigan race is the hybrids I think.

Well see that doesnt make since because Kerrigan controls the Zerg she cant be controling the Hybrids that has got to be Duran that is controling them.

Blizzard will be releasing starcraft2, continuing story and background from the original and adding "kerrigan" race making total of 4. Each race will get around 2 new additional units, removable of unit limit (200/200), along with these info there is also news of beta version coming out end of the year.

There is a rumor of release of Starcraft2 among esport communities/businese groups.

Source from hanbitsoft who had a relationship with the original starcraft has also commented that he heard such news. Source said " I heard of new starcraft2, as far as I know there will be a new race and couple additional units for each race".

Source from esport broadcasting company said " there will be a beta version of SC2 coming out end of the year." He also comments that there were a lot of false rumors in the past but this time he says source is reliable.

People from esports companies are anxious? to see if these rumors hold any truth. If it is true that sc2 will come out, players/coaches/managers/team/broadcasting companies/ all need to plan a solution?

There are also opinions that blizzard will "kill" starcraft for the better success of SC2.

One source said " if blizzard attempts we need to be ready and plan a counter plan." It wont be too late to decide whether to move on to SC2 after its release."

ive already seen this in the Project Revolution Forums (www.wc3campaigns.net/revolution)... it was immediatly marked as a fake, solely for the fact of the words "Kerrigan Race" screamed fake.

Bear in mind, that's a translation from Korean. The Grammar is going to be iffy.

However, I still don't buy it.

more smoke and mirrors!
i wont believe it untill a CREDIBLE SOURCE, in the US of A tells us something more than EVERYONE FREAKIN ONE alrdy knows.

[Ling666]

Agreed. But I'm not sure about closing SC to let in SC2. I paid for the game and I'm sure not going to let them take away my internet playing ability without a fight. Also, Blizzard can't be that heartless (although they did hold back on us for a long time), and it would look bad for them to do that. Still, what is one person against a whole corporation?

[VigilanteV]

i'll believe it when a beta DOES come out, until then i won't trust any source.
