I haven't played any of the online beta (ended today, and you needed a special invite to play), but I've been playing this "special" version of beta vs computers (PM me if you want information on how to obtain such a version "free").

I freaking love this game and it currently lacks: multiplayer, a campaign, or any maps bigger than 2v2. It's basically everything great about the first starcraft, combined with awesome graphics and new units.

My favorite race is Terran so far since they are the middle of the road with technology and numbers. Their armored infantry is hard to beat.

Anyone else play?

Edit:

Two favorite units

Hum, I kind of don't understand what you mean. Is it a hacked version? If so, you might want to delete this topic.

In any case, even though a beta round ended yesterday, I'm not sure the NDA is lifted yet (as another round of test is planned). So even though I've played it, I'll refrain from posting about it, for now :D

You won't find the word hacked, or anything of the equivalent in this thread.

Why will you refrain from posting?

It was an closed beta, but no NDA, wasn't it?

I got an invite to it, but I gave it away.

I was given one, but I wasn't keen on the online play. I especially hated all the anti-rush forced on some of the maps, it really removed the ability of me to play zerg.

Because I'm not sure what I can say or not according to the NDA, and because the Org admins are usually quite touchy about this kind of stuff. Anyway, there's not much to say : it's SC with better graphisms and new units. Nothing mind-blowing, even though the game is pretty good.

I played some games on multiplayer as Protoss. It was a good game, but I just I guess didn't really feel too much into it. I think that probably has to deal with the fact that the custom map people haven't come out and worked their magic yet.

What I learned from the beta? Void Rays are just ridiculous.
