Just remember that Blizzard mention that they allow players to rate & sell custom maps. So I can imagine if there was a custom map/mod juz as good or better than DoTA, I don't think it's gonna free anymore.

i thought is premium map that will be sold not custom map by players?

Premium maps for the lose, who needs premium maps when half the maps produced by Blizzard are imbalanced, and Korean produced maps are always free

Despite being ultra fun to watch, Battle Report 4 can be easily said to be played on a Terran biased map(even the old lost temple was a terran biased map), the island expansions can be easily defended with some units there, floating Command Centres there isn't making the situation better (David Kim is far from Imba), the upper cliff on the natural expansion can be easily harassed. The middle part of the map is fairly open which usually give protosses a better flanking advantage, but in Starcraft 2 ,Terran units are just so much tougher and can fight head on (Which is SUICIDE in SC 1, 1 psionic storm and 10 marines die). Its also pretty odd to see SC2 tvp without a single spider mine and infantry units used as a staple instead

Old Lost temple

I agree that Terran seems to have an advantage. They are so much stronger now, in terms of mobility, resources gathering, firepower and unit numbers. I don't see any huge weakness in Terran; Protoss still pretty much inherit the same problems they have in SC1.

Then again, i feel that the biggest turning point in the BR4 was when YHL trapped his whole force in david kim's expansion, having to deal with the upgraded command centre while david kim's forces rape him from behind.

Starcraft II Beta is pushed back to 2010. Release will be in Q2.
for more about tis news, u can log in the link below:
http://sc2pod.com/news/SC2_Beta_only_in_2010/

DAmn I was looking forward to it in Dec or end of dec for beta now its 2010 maybe they will push it back to 2012......

Nice ....

So,we can say that there is still no Kodick's influence in Blizzard then.

Woaw, beta only Q2, that's like another year to wait at least I would say for release.

Whats a kodick influence?

Some guy from Activison involved in the Call Of Duty mess.

Anyway, still too early to say what will the final product be for Starcraft 2.

wow i tot they already release the game beta? omfg, thats gonna make me wait long

bro, i think u mix up dy, beta on 2010, the game will release in Q2 la.

Oh... I didnt read that properly yar...

So there are going for quite a short beta if it won't start before January and the game is planned in Q2...
Only 2-3 months for the beta I guess, I expected a little bit longer maybe.

Well see how, it's Blizzard, my "for next Christmas" unwanted prediction might come true after all

Just a suggestion that we should abstain ourselves from this topic &

avoid ourselves the agony of waiting for it to be released (tentative Q2 2010, who knows might be 2011 perhaps).

Hmm apparently thats true.

though its goin to be a short beta.

oh mai.

i think by the time they release starcraft 2. the world would already forget that it exist

EDIT: nevermind old news anyway.

by the time the game is released...the world had ended

So they are going to release space craft 4?

i guess they are pushing back the starcraft II release because of WoW new expansion, which say to come end winter 09 (Q1 2010). Releasing the game during summer Q2 would make a better appeal as people tend to spend more on useless stuff during those period
