The StarCraft II beta-test period is coming in the months ahead! If you'd like a chance to participate, now's the time to let us know. Simply go to the "Beta Profile Settings" page in Battle.net account management to go through the new beta opt-in process and upload a snapshot of your system specs. During this process, you'll also have the opportunity to opt in to future betas for other Blizzard Entertainment games. Please note that even if you've opted in to our betas previously, you'll need to complete this new process and upload your current system specs to have a chance to be invited.
 
Doesn't let me to opt in for beta >.<


edit:

Firefox issue, IE8 worked fine.

We may well get some sort of beta by fall-ish, I imagine, if they're doing this now.

And I think to myself: the hardcores will overrun us all. The hardcores will overrun us all...
 
uhhh, I just want it checked that im interested in betas for the starcraft universe or what?
 
There's an app you have to download that sends your system specs to Blizzard. Once you do that, it lets you confirm your preferences. (Look for "Beta Profile Settings" or some such.)
 
Add a Windows Firewall exception for the app. You may also have to tell it to run as administrator, but I think the firewall thing will do it.
 
Just redid it again, I guess something must have been messing around with the program. Worked this time.
 
Thanks OP, is it possible to opt for both clients? I guess I'll find out soon enough
 
i have opted in, although it is reporting my cpu clock incorrectly. its reporting it as 3.37ghz when its 3.6ghz

It's reporting my system like it is at stock clocks.. and a bit lower than stock too.. wth.
 
It's probably speed stepping or something, your computer is pretty much idle on the internet, would down clock.

I think it's buggy. I lost 200 MHZ to that program as well. And yes, I have SpeedStep disabled.
 
Thanks, finally worked out.

Reports me q6600 to be at 3.37 as well, when its at 3.6 actually.
 
God it's been a long wait. Hope a beta really does show up in a few months...
 
Do they already have some minimum requirements that you'll be notified of if you're below or is testing compatibility part of the beta?
 
Nobody's said boo about system requirements as of yet, but knowing Blizzard it's probably largely for cross-section testing. ("Yeah, let's get that guy with the Celeron M a beta key and see how long it takes him to tear his hair out.")
 
well i did it i found my sc key which i havent used in about 10 years and worked lol
 
I attached warIII to it, think i'll get in the SC beta? lol. I gotta find my SC keys again.
 
I don't think I have ever been so excited to participate in a beta test as much as if I get the chance to be in it for SC2. I don't think my job will be very understanding when I suddenly need a month off of work...with pay of course.
 
I'm signed up :D... here's hoping...

Does StarCraft 1 have a lot of players still without tons of cheats? I wouldn't mind playing it again...
 
all of you guys who are screaming in excitement calm down because blizz has said that "beta signup" did not mean starcraft 2. it was a general beta sign up question for future games. you will not be getting into the sc2 signup anytime soon. those who got the blizzcon keys will get first dibs.
 
I entered on my Mac incase they wanted to keep the testing diverse. Figured tons of people have a E8400 GTX260 system so I went with my macbook pro hoping they would pick me to see how it plays on a mac.

You'll probably be picked be towards the end of beta as generally newer and more mainstream hardware is tested first. Just an fyi, :p
