    Question Anyone Try The Warcraft III PreRelease Beta???

    Just wondering, anyone played it yet? I should be getting hold of the PreRelease beta by the weekend. It has probably been one of the most anticipated game (at least for me). Cant wait to get my hand on it.

    Yeah, but I'm really waiting for Starcraft 2...course that will come out in 5 years, so I'll continue to wait...

    Warcraft III is due out in June 2002. I am most anticipating Starcraft II also . Gawd the cutscenes in the original were amazing and got me actually excited and wanting to kick some zerg arse. Did anyone else feel that way while watching some of the helpless and desperate starcraft cutscenes also?

    LOL Yep! I guess I am not alone . But seriously the Sound (screams) and the cutscenes (war and death scenes) were extremely bad arse! I just can't explain the feeling I got watching them.

    Hm, for it to sound that good Blizzard must have recorded it while killing a real person...

    Oh, the beta is good, but Blizzard are changing quite a few things from the beat.
    The most disappointing is the Night Elf resource gathering
    You used to be able to watch the roots entangle the mine.
    But Noooo, they have to change that!
    Still, great game.

    True that! Now if only they could do what Westwood did with the C&C series and make this game a FPS but without the problems Westwood had. That would be sweet playing as one of those soldiers!

    Mabe they'll do something with it similar to WoW, depending on the success of it...

    just a thought

    Thats what I was hoping for. Hoping they wouldn't just create a RTS sequel but hire more people and expand the game into multi genres like Unreal has done. Unreal is going Single Player, Multiplayer and Massivly Multiplayer (Unreal Warfare).

    It would be sweet to see a MMOG of Starcraft I mean they definitally built the game around such a universe that questioning whether it could happen and whether or not its possible is out of the picture. I would just be happy with a Single Player and Multiplayer version of Starcraft in FPS format though ;P. I wanted to kick some Zerg arse after they were slaughtering troops in some of those cut scenes. It got me pumped up.
