StarCraft II beta sign-ups begin

And new screenshots released
Beta sign-ups for Blizzard's Korea-destroying RTS sequel, StarCraft II have begun, via the company's relaunched online hub Battle.net.

By signing up for an account on Blizzard's fancy new site you're given the option to 'opt in' to the StarCraft closed beta, participants of which will be chosen at random from the great fanbase pool.

Sounds like this beta is for promotional purposes only, and not to find bugs or improve gameplay really. What a shame.

It already plays perfectly, and did at the World Wide Invitational last year.

Blizzard do like to string out their releases...

Just created my new battle.net account, old one was deleted :shock:

I better get on this beta, if only to piss my mate off. He's obsessed with all things Blizzard and would die to get on it, whereas I don't even care :lol:
