Think it's real?
Hmm...
Just finished reading it. Seems very legit.. alot of step by step instruction with everything.
Looks legit.
This would confirm that you can play against computers.
I can confirm this this may be fake.
:D
Man O man, I hope BlizzCon key holders get in the first wave.
This looks fake to me. It also recycled old images. (Never mind, poster said he used them on purpose)
How does something like this get leaked though?
Zhydaris confirmed a few days ago the first wave consists of blizzcons, contest winners and other means, and a few opt-ins. And stated that Blizzcon keys are around 20,000. and probably a quarter of those will go unused or have no interest in SC2
fake or not, beta will be out in 3 up to 10 days
Good to know! If this article is legit, it looks like it automatically saves your replays of all your recent games without you having to do it. This is very cool.Quote:

So...right. It doesn't do this. That's kinda my point.Quote:

Click the microphone button located on the lower-right corner of the screen (next to the time). When there is a line crossing out the microphone, voice chat is disabled.
NOOOOOOOOooooOoooOoooOoOOOOOOO
I hate voice chat -....-
I guess this has been confirmed for some time? I dont remember -- but i hate when games have built in voice chat, this makes me very unhappy its completely unnecessary
Unfortunately it's 2010, mein freund! Voice chat is simply a part of modern online gaming. It's faster and more efficient. Is it a little awkward? I guess. Anyways, you don't have to use it.Quote:

Or not, but I only assumed that was the function from your post ("all your recent games"), as the link itself wasn't that clear.
Either way, I think an archive of your recent games is quite awesome.Quote:

Now this isn't as bad on the PC, since its not as big as a problem for me on something like HoN( but its still a added annoyance) And while there is a option to turn it off-- people will still be using it, in a game like HoN it sucks that me turning off voice chat completely takes me out of the communication with other people that are using it. So no matter what im going to have to keep it on and just mute people that are annoying, which i feel is a unnecessary feature - not to mention most ingame voice chat lack key features ( like the ability to make someone screaming and someone talking normally the same volume)
But your right its the new age- and I need to just deal with it, I just didn't know this was confirmed till right now. It wont be SO bad I guess.
ONTOPIC --
Its awesome that the replays are saved, so many games I play im like "damn this game is awesome, Im going to save this replay" Only to just hit quick-game before thinking..
Hopefully at the start of the game voice chat is naturally disabled and something you turn on, not the other way around >.<
not really much of a prediction, given that theres only 13 days left in Feb, and they wont release it on the weekend, so from now til Feb 26th is the window of opportunity. You are one day off from the maximum "prediction limit"Quote:

"my" prediction is what Demosquid said ;)Quote:

Just to make things interesting, I'm gonna call fake :p.
I just feel that too much of the info can be surmised from the Bnet preview.
Also, although I haven't seen many FAQs of this sort, needing to ask how to EXIT the StarCraft 2 beta seems like a silly question :p.

I like how they watermarked all the pictures as if they belong to the site :tard:
The FAQ was just deleted by a blue.

I'm not saying it's fake, but it's no big deal either way because the real (or official release) will be out shortly.

Also a thing to note, much of that beta faq is taken from here
