This new ability can be used by Protoss players from the Nexus. It simply speeds up the applied building function for a limited time. It also requires 25 mana of Protoss Nexus. At the early periods of the game, using this ability for increasing probe production will be wise. Then it can be used for constructing units especially heavy units like Carriers and Mothership. This new ability makes the game more dynamic and fun.

In Starcraft 2 Beta, voice chat is available, it is very fast and it will not make any lag during multiplayer matches. Starcraft 2 has no LAN property, you can play  LAN games by just connecting Battle.net. The multiplayer games are generally very low lag rate which makes the game easier to control. Also in SC 2 Beta, unnecessary waitings are minimised  like;  pylon building time or other building construction times this makes the game more dynamic but there is a style problem in SC 2 which can not reach the success of SC original for now.

This unit can be morphed from Zerg Overlord units. It has detector and Changeling spawning ability. In SC 2 Beta Overlords are not detector as in the past, the detector ability comes after evolving Overseer. While cancelling detector ability of the Overlord, the Overlords can create creep where the Zerg units can move faster on it. So this ability change, will also change anti-Zerg strategies especially invisible tactics like Dark Templar drop. But producing Dark Templar becomes more unefficient because of not activating High Templar Unit with constructing Dark Shrine ( It requires extra building) so the balance is protected.

These units are the new Zerg units are being tried in SC 2 Beta. The units can be imagined like a chameleon which can imitate Zealot, Marine or Zergling. So enemy recon will be very easy for Zerg. Because in multi-matches there is no time to control your units’  count everytime, so any enemy leakage can be done which shall be crucial. But of course these units have a limited time to survive like Hallucination units in SC Original.

The Roaches are available by Roach Waren building.These units are amazing, they have bonuses against melee units like Zealots , Zerglings and  their unique property is their dynamic burrow ability which means they can move while they are under the ground with extra regeneration (heal regeneration)! They can not attack air units so fast aereal pushes can be dangerous for Roach tactic but this disadvantage can be easily eliminated by spawning new Zerg Queens. We suggest you certainly try this unit against a Protoss or a Zerg enemy. Enjoy!

This new Protoss unit is very powerfull and strategic in SC 2 Beta. Especially if your opponent is Zerg and making fast Zerglings and he is going to advance Roach technology, Void Ray counter attack will be wise. Fast Void Ray tactic can be imagined like fast Corsair tactic in Broodwar, the basement of these tactics are almost same. But Void Ray is more expensive but it can attack both ground and air and its anti building bonus is good. You can destroy enemy Command Center or Hatchery in the early periods of the game easily, then you can advance Carrier/Mothership technology without problem but remember that Stalker feed must be constant during this technological advance.

The answer of this question is unfortunately no, but if you have an account on battle.net and in my opinion if you have an original Blizzard game like, Starcraft Original, Diablo, Warcraft etc. your chance will be increased. After taking an account from battle.net you will upload your system propeties on your account and you can upload the original Blizzard game that you have. Patience is important at that point, after days an email can be sent by Blizzard which activates your Beta playing property of your account. Then you will download a Beta installer on your Hard drive to install the Beta properly.

The new unit of the Zerg can attack both air and ground units, She has some fantastic abilities for instance you can enlarge your creep area by putting tumors with Queen on the border of the creep so it will enlarge easily.Also you can increase the larva number by using a Queen ability to the Zerg Hatchery. Queen is strong at the ground but remmeber that she will move slowly outside of the creep so she is designed as a defensive unit while she acts a part in the economy too.

We can determine Starcraft 2 Beta,  as a well designed developing pre-game, Let’s start from the playability of the game.

Playability of this game is better than SC Brood-War, Game becomes faster, more sophisticated, easier to use and more kinetic. The new units, buildings and abilities are generally awesome but the sounds of units are poor, also the game becomes fantastic type of game like Warcraft than science-fiction type. I think this change will not satisfy the SC Brood War gamers but more Warcraft fans will play this game. So it can be dangerous because the Warcraft players may not like the space based game they like middle earth based games. So it will strongly influence the rating of the game. If we look at from the technical (strategical) perspective the game has deficents but it can be easily eliminated the main problem is; the  soul of the game is changed, it becomes Warcraft and it is sad . The effects are very well designed but unfortunately more cartoonish and fantastic not realistic or science-fiction based, i think redesigns and modifies must be done to take the same popularity as Brood-War.

We have been waiting for a long time to play Starcraft 2. Now it is the time but you must know that only restricted number of players are chosen from a potential SC 2 Beta player pool.Yes this is sad but you may have a chance to play this beta especially if your system specifications are good enough for Blizzard and of course you must have pure chance.To join the SC 2 Beta player pool of Blizzard, you must create a Battle.net account from starcraft2.com. To do this, click beta minisite at starcraft2.com and follow instructions at that link then upload your system specifications to the minisite and presto!! you have  joined the pool. Good Luck.
