Brood War Beta On The Loose
Brood War Beta On The Loose-November 2024
Nov 16, 2024 7:26 AM

  Brood War has already been hammered, beat on, and beat up by Blizzard's internal quality assurance team of about 30 gamers. Now, it's on to the real world for Blizzard Entertainment's Starcraft add-on.

  About 500 beta testers, of the almost 30,000 who sent in their application, should be getting their CDs in the mail beginning Wednesday. Blizzard's Susan Wooley said the game's team of designers and programmers is primarily looking for feedback on "play balance among new units and strategy."

  Describing the beta (which should last for "a few weeks") as "a very fluid test," Blizzard, which has already sold close to 1.2 million copies of Starcraft worldwide, will provide downloadable patches to the multiplayer-only beta as needed. Wooley said almost each day brings a new build, but even with the frenzy surrounding the beta test, Brood War is still targeted for a holiday release rollout of close to half a million worldwide.
