The beta test may have been shut down yesterday, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about with regards to StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Most of you probably didn’t get a chance to participate in the StarCraft 2 beta test, so I’ve decided to revive the screenshots galore feature with a large batch of StarCraft 2 beta screenshots.
Most of these screenshots are from replays, because I tend to forget to press the screenshot button during play. StarCraft 2 is very fast paced, just like it’s predecessor, so sneaking in screenshots isn’t the first thing in your mind while playing. I should also note that these are all screenshots of multiplayer gameplay, because singleplayer wasn’t available during beta testing. There are also a few Battle.net snapshots mixed in that demonstrate the custom games feature, amongst others.
I’m also working on getting some vodcasts up on YouTube, but that will likely take until sometime next week. So for now just enjoy the screenshots.
