That thread has always said November/December... not in the next month or so.

[PsiWarp]

They also said this year, so I guess whichever month Beta comes out from is still going to be a surprise.

Well, beta definitely won't come out in the same month as BR because it's against the law.

So we can expect beta by November at the earliest.

Blizzard guy 1: K It's Oct 1 release the Battle report.
Blizzard guy 2: K, done, now let's just play Starcraft 2 until the next month to release beta, even though it's 100% ready for release.

Warning: For any srs business guys I'm just joking.

1. Can the map editor be used to create custom maps?

Yes you will be able to create custom maps with the Starcraft 2 map editor.

2. In team games, can a shuttle pick up a burrowed baneling?

Units that are burrowed cannot be loaded into dropships.

3. Will there be online chat on Bnet 2.0?

Yes there will be chat functionality on Bnet 2.0.

4. Ive heard that the Zerg Queen can be used in such a way as to make her incredibly imbalanced. Is this true?


There are many ways to counter the Zerg Queen's spawn larvae ability, such as build zealots and tell them to hold position on a ramp.



5. Will ______ be in SC2?


Yes, but only in campaign.

6. In the unit editor will you be able to make-

Yes.

7. Do the Zerg get a cliff climber?

The zerg have the best cliff climber in the game currently. The mutalisk is able to scale cliffs as well as space, lava, water, and other impassable features.

8. Why did you choose Tricia Helfers voice for kerrigan?

If Japan is any indication, a pretty face translates to a better voice. She's also talented in other areas.

THIS is EXACTLY why I'm not looking forward to the Q&A nor did I for any other Q&As.. SUPER dumb questions...

"4. Ive heard that the Zerg Queen can be used in such a way as to make her incredibly imbalanced. Is this true?

Also this is painfully true.. PLEASE FIX IT BLIZZARD!!

I foresee this as a fake Batch.
