Blizzard previews new Battle.net - briefly
(hx) 03:32 PM CET - Feb,10 2010 - Post a comment / read (4)
With StarCraft II beta imminent, Blizzard has given us a look at the changes coming to its online service, Battle.net. Here's a taster:
In the past, Battle.net was presented as a multiplayer option off to the side, off of the main menu of Blizzard Entertainment titles. That is all changing. With the new Battle.net experience, the service and the game are now interwoven into one experience. Whether you are in single-player or multiplayer StarCraft II, you are always connected, and enjoy a bevy of new and enhanced functionality.

Battle.net and StarCraft II are designed to be seamlessly connected. That means even if you're playing solo you will still view the latest news, receive game and content updates, and be able to see your friends' status and chat with them. But this new interconnectivity between the game and the service goes even deeper than that. Now, each player will create a StarCraft II Battle.net character. This character serves as your single persistent identity across the service. Everything you do in the game -- win/loss record, achievements, unlockable rewards, friends list, and more -- will be saved to your character profile for you and your friends to see. Even your save game progress in the campaign can be synched to Battle.net. Say you upgrade your computer and re-install the game; once you connect to Battle.net, you can continue the campaign right where you left off. This is especially useful if you play on more than one computer, because all your data will be carried over for you via Battle.net.

Should I be impressed?

because I'm really not, Battle.net was best left innovated within that section of the game it always has been for those who were interested in logging into that account profile crap. This is just an excuse to sell idiots on the idea that they should be always connected, and get the same enforced client crap to deal with they've got with steam-ing shit service etc

"Even your save game progress in the campaign can be synched to Battle.net. Say you upgrade your computer and re-install the game; once you connect to Battle.net, "

It's like most noob gamers today don't even know how to use a computer let alone backup their game saves and profile.. so pathetic. Blizztard corp to rescue. Meanwhile this method provides some nice advantages to them in getting to know and monitor their customer sheep a lot more.

Fuck that shit.. I want the disconnected experience with LAN! and not having to fucking update the game when they decide to chuck out a patch with balances I might not even like.

And I don't give a flying fuck about having to earn stinking shit avatars and whatever other crap you've put in place to make noobs stay CONNECTED to your service you fucking game grinding obsessed freaks.

Match making is for fucking noobs, not hardcore players!

fuck this shit.. I want a decent game not the stinking service I have to fucking go through just to play the FUCKING GAME!

About the only thing that impresses you Koogle is the size of your shit in the toilette bowl as far as I'm concerned. Yes Battlenet sucks, but I personally don't mind the online side of it keeping your game status, awards etc. Why not? i got the same on PS3 and it's fun to shoot this shit with friends and have a good laugh comparing and competing for the ranks.

This is old news anyhow, everyone and their uncle knew all this shit to begin with.

The two of you are becoming harder to tell apart.

Koogle you are correct in every way sir, these games are taking on a dangerous trend.

Rather than focusing on game design and game play the focus is on building a sims community.
Seriously, how dumbfuck brain-castrated can you be to work toward achieving an "avatar". Thats like buying a ferrari to twiddle with its power windows.

In the end it boils down to these publishers making our decisions for us and telling us how we should enjoy our game (which we paid for). If you want to play offline, you should be able to do so offline. If you want to play a game, you shouldnt have to load a chat/community/browser/email program to do it. Remember when CS used to run on Pentium 2s? When they released steam the requirements doubled, but the game stayed the same - you were using half your computer to run Steam rather than hl.exe.

Tom, if you like comparing ranks, do you compare your lengths too? I like comparing who can win, saying you got a 57-3-10 record is insignificant compared to saying you beat Cooller or Zero4 or something in ONE game (sorry, dont know SC pros).
