Starcraft 2 In The Final Stretch


Srafcraft 2 Lead Designer, Dustin Browder claims that they are in the final stretch concerning the release of the beta. Dustin was answering questions submitted by frustrated fans that were disappointed at the lack of any beta release news for so long. He said:



Solo campaign is under heavy construction as is Battlenet. When these things have enough work done that we know when our release date is going to be with strong confidence we will announce the Beta. Unless something crazy happens, the Beta is going to happen this year.


He also went on to explain why Blizzard never releases a target date to the public:

Let’s be realistic. Our target dates are not something we hit more than half the time. Putting those out there would be pretty close to lying to the fans. We are not going to do that. We want to be able to give good info, not info that we know is suspect. We’ll give target dates when we think it is very likely that we will hit them.


He finally added that:

Yeah. Sorry. We don’t want to lie about the Beta, and we don’t even want to lie about the next Battle Report. When we know a date (for anything) for certain, we’ll let you know.

Hang in there. We’re in the final stretch.


The final stretch I think refers to the release of a Beta. Still not giving a hint of a date. Anyway I prefer if Blizzard really takes their time in making the game than rushing it out. Which at this rate, I'm pretty sure they won't rush this.
