• Awesomeee! Who wants to really stay with this old rusty war3 that I play since 10th grade (7 yrs ago) when this BNET brings a whole new level in this new decade! I gotta laugh at my fellows staying in this extremely overabused war3 game.

• main priority should remain hacks preventing. I'd prefer that either make an unbreakable bnet or if they catch hackers to get some serious lifetime ban on this game, coz right now Blizzard are too good with them.

• DOTA mb just a name

• "But while Battle.net supported mods at a basic level, integration with tools and the mod community wasn’t where it needed to be for a game releasing in 2010."

So does this mean more time needed to finish bnet, i.e we won't see the 1st release soon, not even in 2010?

• Any expected System Requirements based on all SC2 has now? I just hope 512 MB video 3 GB DDR3 and 2.4 GHz, Windows 7 are enough to run properly even if not the best. My laptop is among the first systems to load the game in war3 Bnet while others are still loading.

This is from 2010 and gives some idea but for Beta :/, no1 knows how these may increase for the full game.

• even if one says unit&building grahpics are not so cool - they look a little cartoony, war3 ones were even more so this is still a hundred times better.

Not sure where you're going with this but according to the preview it seems like they're planning on server side hosting. Meaning that most hacks won't work.

Most hacks not all, rus always find a way. Anyway, I was left with the impression that sc2 may not be ready even this year (full vers) from that sentence above. The beta will be, but it requires a beta key that I failed to win in 1 silly competition. At least the beta may be available for download, just needs a key...

Meaning this quote?

"But while Battle.net supported mods at a basic level, integration with tools and the mod community wasn’t where it needed to be for a game releasing in 2010."

This statement doesn't even say that the game will be delayed. That's just your interpretation.

Whats the meaning of the percentage next to each player? % until next level or ?

It indicates when they're done loading.

Been following the news every since the announcement back in 2007 lol.

And also, if you look at one of those battle.net 2.0 preview videos you'll see them showing off exactly that.

No level here?

As in rank? I'm not sure... At least it isn't displayed at the loading screen in that picture.
