Everyone is a potential tester.

Yes, I'm "testing" it and having a blast doing! This game rox, but is VERY different from Starcraft. My first impression was that it was crap and I didn't like it at all. But now that I'm adjusting to the new way of doing things I think a lot of the changes they made are for the better. For example the more units you build up, the more "tax" you have to pay on gold you mine... Now intitially this sounds like an annoyance until you realize WHY they did it. The result from this is that people don't turtle anymore! It makes you get off your *** and use your units to fight. It makes the game much more interesting than it would be if you simply built up a huge army and then attacked, like you do in starcraft. I'm not sure which I like more sc, or wc3, but right now I'm enjoying wc3 more because it's new and different. I'm not sure though, I think that sc might actually be the better game, but wc3 is still a lot of fun.

I am a beta tester for War3 and I personally liked the earlier patches like 1.x better than the 2.x series of patches. I dunno. Maybe I just got burned out from playing it too much or something. I am looking forward to the single player War3 more than multiplayer cause then I can turn the eye candy way up compared to multiplayer.

Word and I am one of those "potential" testers .

The game r0x and the 3d landscapes are amazing! IMO the screen shots dont give the game any justice at all.
