Famous last (beta) words

Everything is ready. This map seems the perfect one for me: my SCVs are gathering at full speed and I just got the last bit of vespene gas from my refinery. My micromanagement is incredible, my SCVs are on their way, and my command center just took off. Cunningly, silently, I prepare to crush my enemy; he is just not expecting me this early. I grin when I think about my planetary fortress destroying his base and all the poor little units he probably has there by now.

What? I can’t land on zerg creep?”

The StarCraft II beta is coming to an end, and soon everything will be ready for launch on July 27.

How did you like the beta phase? Choose your words wisely as they may be your last! ...for now.

The beta was lots of fun. The game has the spirit of old Starcraft without feeling like a face-lifted copy. A truly great achievement. Hope it will get even better and better in time. Thanks and GG!

I'm really happy I got the opportunity to test the beta before the release. I was really disappointed that I didn't get the chance on Brood War so this was a big deal for me. I've been waiting literally ~10 years for this game and I'm so psyched to get out into space to conquest my enemies :)

Great work so far on the game, you're really worth the fanbase you've developed over the years.

I'd like to place my Left and Right ... Claws on this piece of cement that is Starcraft History.

I was there when the first Starcraft game was launched, I have been waiting for this sequel for a very long time....

Now that it's here, I have been reborn, the new Zerg unit also known as Brutalisk, coming to a swarm near you!

Thank you so much for the beta it was great! However, the only thing missing is the option to play on different world servers, I am in europe but have friends in the usa. I would really like to play with them and I dont lagg at all I've done with warcraft 3 many times. Furthermore the add friends function is, I find, less user friendly than in W3, it would be nice to be able to just type in a gamertag and thats it. Some more maps would be cool too :)

I had awesome moments with the beta, and hoping (actually SURE) that stays the same with the game :). It's really interesting to learn those new mechanics. I enjoyed the wins and learned from the losses (or as much as I could hehe).
And that only with the Protoss... so I say - can't wait the launch to learn the other races!:)

I`m glad that my last words were: YEA, 9 wins i a row! That was my best win streak in the game, and i`m in the beta from the beggining. :)
I have already downloaded the digital copy and now just waiting to activate and continue the winning crusade. Even the xel`naga have no chance now. This is the best game ever, although it isnt even released yet!

I have travelled throughout the universe, faced millions opponents and every day was just a never ending struggle. With each combat, each Archon warped in, each Carrier deployed and each Immortal assembled I gained more and more knowledge and was on my way to the ultimate truth. The joys of victory and sorrow after defeat all lead to an epic conclusion. I do not regret a thing. All those Zealots dead were just a necessary sacrifice. And so, finally, the Mothership has told me the answer for the ultimate question. The answer was:

"The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only"

The echoes of war pound the mountain walls of this unfriendly planet.. We can all hear the monsters and their spawn crawling around beneath us.. or is it above us? It is hard to tell which down here in these dark caverens. We march on and prepare ourself for the inevitable collision and we are all very, very prepared! LOCK AND LOAD MARINES!!! WOHA! And so it begins...

It was a great beta, the game evolved years in the last couple of months.
It undoubtedly has a good chance to carry on the SC legacy. GG WP

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand

If the beta were to suddenly close down,
There would be no law, there would be no rule,
There would only be you and your memories,
The choices you have made, and the people you have played,
It would only be you and your replays, and no one else.
