StarCraft 2 Beta Coming In Months, Will Include Next-generation Battle.net
by Nick Breckon, Feb 11, 2009 2:47pm PSTThe beta test for Blizzard's anticipated RTS sequel StarCraft II will be launched sometime in the "months ahead," according to comments made by Blizzard COO Paul Sams during an Activision earnings call.
Sams added that an early version of the new Battle.net architecture will be included in the beta test. Those that attended BlizzCon 2008 received a voucher for beta access.
Unfortunately, Sams did not disclose when Blizzard is planning to release the first of its three upcoming StarCraft II titles, only confirming that a major "frontline" Blizzard title will be released in 2009.

2008
2009 beta
They will drop SC2 about same time as they drop Lich King.
Couple of months gives you at best June and add few months of beta testing I mean it will take loooooong time till they get all race balances. So October is nearest point I can imagine so probobly late 2009.
They don't even know what sort of model to chose so they made a poll on official site. I mean comon you can say "they want pleased gamers" - yeah right
This game is gona be pure failure. Yeah yeah bite me but think for a moment there only few nerds out there who will be happy to buy three split campaings. For example I'm consider myself as a hardcore gamer and what I do? I hit Multiplayer button and play till my eyes fall down. Campaing is nice couse story and all (love blizzard for that) but common ! If I can pwn 12h a day on multi I will not spend my money on every single campaing just to get into story (there are better ways to waste money then spent it on single player game).
And other think about SC2 vs Diablo3 you can say whatever you want but look at the history they said "Hell it's about time - SC2" and ppl said "Ohh sweet ! Starcraft 2 NICE!". And few months back they said "And Heavens SHALL TREMBLE" and ppl said "OHH I SHIT my pants ! DIABLO 3 OH MY OH MY!" look wich game was top seller back then ! Diablo 1&2. Just look on number of comments when there is somethink about sc2 and when its somethink about d3. I support Blizzard I love warcraft and diablo I played all those games and I played sc (even played on some tournament) but I tell you there is nothing special about sc2. Another good rts thats it. Look at CoH its great rts It takes some tactic and what about sc or w3? Its all about how fast you can click. Don't "WTF" at me I know what I say in w3 or sc2 or w2 (same thing) you got some tactic you know what to build what comes first and what not, you just try to get this as fast as you can. And then its 50% 50% that other build somethink anti my tactic or he is going down.
