Quick look into Starcraft II closed beta

There was a surprise this morning in my mailbox. Blizzard decided to send me an invite for Starcraft II closed beta. At first I thought that it was a spam, but reading through I got really excited. It’s been only two and a half weeks since the beta started.

I’ve played 5 online games so far, and I must admit that this games rocks. Battle.net makes finding games very easy. Statistics about a finished game are very detailed, so I can analyze what have I done wrong and learn from the mistakes. Every game’s replay is automatically saved, so then I can analyze even deeper.

Battle.net seems like a social network, although I have not used all the features yet, it’s a thing I look forward to. I can form a party with my friends outside a match chat and then play together with them later. I can also use microphone to talk to them. The most interesting feature I look forward to is communicating with people who are not in Starcraft.

Too bad that I havent managed to run it under Linux, at least not yet.
