Starcraft 2 and the Halo 3 Beta

As many of you might already know, Blizzard announced Starcraft 2 for Mac and PC at the Blizzard Worlwide Invitational. A bunch of video have already been released and I will be linking everything I can find. From what I have seen in these videos, Blizzard has another RTS masterpiece on their hands. The only disturbing news of the day was that it was revealed that the videos featuring the new Starcraft 2 gameplay were alpha stage. This may mean you and I will be waiting for a while for this to come out. But hell, it's about time.

So far my impressions of the Halo 3 beta have been nothing but positive. The weapons are incredibly well balanced. No matter what weapon I have I feel like I have a chance. That isn't something you could say if you were a veteran or even a rookie of Halo 2 multiplayer. The equipment which is deployable with the now un-mysterious X button work great although I have noticed however in certain instances people are running by the equipment. A good example of this would be people not going after the shield bubble in High Ground. I don't know whether to attribute it to lack of knowledge of the map or what, but this is really only a minor concern. Everything about the beta is absolutely solid and can't wait to make Gunnery Sgt. Grade 2 next time I log on. Again, if you want to have a go send a friend request to Healbot.


Sorry about the late update folks, it won't happen again.
