The Legacy of the Void will not be an expansion to StarCraft 2, but rather a standalone game which is an interesting approach for Blizzard. As things stand the beta is pretty much ready to launch with the balance team just tweaking a few units.вЂќ WCS Season 1 will be all but over and this will give players plenty of time to stream the beta and generate some excitement. One of their sources states, вЂњItвЂ™s great timing for them. The last time something similar happened with another Blizzard game, the keys were distributed about 3 weeks later. In fact they have learnt that gaming press as well as esports organizations have been told to submit their requests for beta keys, hinting that the closed beta is indeed drawing closer. This is according to a report from The Daily Dot who claims to have learnt from their sources that the closed beta should be launched towards the end of March or early April. However the good news is that we could be inching closer towards a closed beta of the game. Knowing Blizzard it might take a year or two before we see it make its way into the hands of gamers. The game was announced at BlizzCon last year but unfortunately Blizzard did not mention when the game would be released. It frankly wouldn't surprise me if the game ends up being playable on onboard video.The StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void title will bring an end to the story of StarCraft 2. It also doesn't hurt that Blizzard keeps the system requirements as low as possible. Flawless netcode, drop system is the fairest system I've seen, easy to use replay system it simply doesn't matter that the game will almost certainly be SC1.5 with multiplayer support like that.ДЄ medoicre competitive game that is easy to pick up and play with friends will win over a great game that is aggravating to play online 10 times out of 10. The ease of getting into a game, even with 3v3 arranged, simply cannot be beaten.

is by far the best online matchmaking system ever made, and it's the main reason SC1 and Warcraft 3 are still played more than many modern RTS'. I will probably end up getting it simply because there's a severe lack of quality competitive RTS' as of late (DoW2 sucked, Tales of Valor sadly killed CoH, C&C4 is going to suck, Sins is a GREAT single player/co-op game but sucks online, SupCom2 is a wildcard), but it I'm not expecting to be amazed by it. E-sport games have to be spectatorfriendly and Supreme Commander I think is 'too big' while Sins is just macro and have no rewarding micromanagement.ДЄnd watching from a players perspective in SupCom is just lol since if he zooms out to max like one great player did then it's just a bunch of dots.who on earth would want to watch such a match.? And how immersive is it to play like that?ДЇinally! I've been waiting 12 years to play the exact same game with better graphics! As long as I still need to have an average Clicks per minute of 200 I'm sold! /sarcasm The zoom is that way since it's an e-sport game where people have to have identical settings (I don't completely agree with that) and also since Blizzard think it's the best way. But that's simply what we have to put up with if we want a competetive game which have three completely diverse races. I'm sure they will fix and add stuff in the two expansions. Then we got the Zerg Queen which they're messed around with a whole lot.just waiting for someone to find the current big imbalance that will dominate.will probably 24h or so ^^ They scrapped some, changed some and completely overhauled some (I've followed it since the announcement in May 2007) and some they messed around with for a long time before scrapping.ДЄnd they're still not done! The Zerg Lurker isn't in the beta and they just recently changed abilities like the Nexus speed/research aura and removed the Obelisk/Dark Pylon. Then they messed around with alot of unitdesigns. I'm pretty certain they had to build a completely new engine and like Brad says, that takes alot of time.
