Anyone playing the Starcraft II beta?

I just got a key from a friend this past weekend and wondered if there were any dvdtalkers out there. On a side note, starting yesterday, anyone who pre-orders Starcraft II from Gamestop gets a key to the beta.

^ I'm in the same boat.

In regards to getting a key, I wouldn't buy one off eBay (they are overpriced) but do a pre-order like mentioned and you can always return the game if you decide not to play when it comes out.

Waiting patiently for the Mac client. Rumor has it next week is when it's coming, which is great because it will coincide with my freshly ordered new Macbook Pro.

You should be soon. The Amazon announcement came out Wednesday I think.

Re: Anyone playing the Starcraft II beta?

The Mac client came out yesterday. I installed it on my 3 year old Macbook Pro and I'm surprised how smoothly it runs. I can't wait to try it out on my newly ordered 15" Core i5 MBP sometime next week. I played this morning while eating breakfast and got my ass handed to me in 15 minutes.

A couple "invite a friend" emails went out with beta codes to share. All of my friends are already in the beta, so if anyone here needs an invite reply here or PM me.

Installed the Mac client last night and got my ass kicked in a game in less than 10 minutes.

It's been nearly a decade since I last played this game.

I've come to find I absolutely suck at the normal multiplayer VS maps, it's just not my thing. Bring on the custom maps! I also can't wait to play the single player campaign once the game comes out.
