Hidden SC2 Images/Text Found1 year 5 months ago
by Tiger0211

Battle.net member Superfux recently discovered SC2 images and text referenced in some code on the new battle.net site. After he posted his findings, one of the images (the one above) that said "Pre-Beta" changed to "Beta". Here are four of the images: game-space/S2.jpg, game-boxes/S2.jpg, sc2beta.jpg, and S2.jpg.
The following texts were found and posted by Superfux:
battle.net wrote:"StarCraft 2 Beta added! Click the box image to download the beta client."
"StarCraft II® [Pre-Beta]"
"Opt in to the StarCraft 2 Beta"
"By opting in, you will enter this Battle.net account in the running to participate in the StarCraft 2 beta test."


Thanks to StarcraftWire.net for the tip and making this mock screenshot showing how battle.net accounts will look on that wonderful day: (for some of us anyway ;) )

Neato, I woner what this means? Is beta soon or later? I think it is just Blizzard doing one if their fun tricks. It really doesn't mean anything.

This is a sign the the Friends and Family alpha ("Pre-Beta") will start soon.

Here's a bit of info that nobody has mentioned yet:

It just (directly) means that the site supports the SC2 Beta already. Indirectly, that implies that the beta is soon. Unfortunately, given recent blue stuff, I realistically think the beta is still several months out. :(

About 3 months from when the "pre-beta" starts, to be precise.

I'm hoping they just want to dry-run the download and account system for a few weeks before opening it up. :)

I guess we will never know until Blizzard announces it. Let's stop getting our hopes up and just wait....and wait........, because no matter what everything is subject to change and the dates are not even set, so who knows!
