Yeah.
uhhh.
Lol.
Gradius means anyone who was in phase 1 still gets to play in phase 2.
hmm.. i wonder when Beta phase 2 starts...
Okay, I've been hearing some serious rumors about Campaign missions being available during this second half. True or false?
Most likely false, and if it were true - expect a training mission or two =P .Quote:

I'd say false... but who knows. ;)Quote:

I think one mission would be nice. They pretty much spilled the beans on five or six missions anyway.
Letting us play one of the first three missions taking place on Mar Sara isn't going to hurt anything.
'course, by the time the beta comes back on line, we'll only be a couple of weeks out from release anyway, so its no biggy if they don't.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it...only playing one mission will just make me want the campaign even more...
I feel its more of an issue of why would they give the story out for free.Quote:

What about the old Starcraft demo?
It had missions in it that were never in the full version.
Those missions appeared in the StarCraft: Precursor campaign, although probably years later.
Im guessing ur asking if there will be more testers allowed in? I would assume so because the main part of phase 2 would be a stress test. More ppl more stressQuote:

We should make a whole thread for it and have it be a sticky, or is that a bad idea?
22 days until phase 2
36 days until release
How do you know it's 22 days until phase 2?Quote:

Phase 2 starts up in July, but its not gonna be up for long as, it will be live July 27.
cool, how do we know the exact starting date of beta phase 2?
No one really knows when phase 2 is gonna start sadly. Im among the people who remember hearing Blizzard say "beta will end a few weeks before launch and phase 2 will start a few weeks before that". But some have heard that phase 2 will be the last 2 weeks before launch. From what Bashiok said about "well be able to test it out early July" leads me to believe my theory but until they say anything at all we will not know for sure. But, release date is July 27th, that will not change so definitely have a countdown for that.
1 or 2 missions will be very nice to see in the 2nd phase of beta. I am optimistic that blizz will give this to us for 2 reasons:
1)We allready know the first missions in detail, so basseicly in terms of story telling they won`t be telling us anything we allready don`t know.
2) after playing a mission or two, ANYONE who wasn`t sure if they were gonna buy SC2 will be like "OMG can`t w8 for July 27th"
OH! Now that I think about it ... the missions could be something like the demo for SC1- we get a couple fo missions on some frindge dominion world training troops, finding and killing the nasty outlaw basterds, calling themselfs "raynor`s riders", some plot twist in the last camaping and .... "if you want to see more- go and buy SC2" there is simply NO better way to make me wanna buy the game = )
Do you guys think taht June 24-th is a good day for phase 2 ? The way I see it the progress bar on the dominion page could be up to 100% by then ? ... or at least when it`s up to 100% phase 2 will beggin, whenever that is :)
Early July my friend. I'm estimating around July 10thish.
