Starcraft 2 beta keys

Pre-order SC2 at Gamestop. You only have to put $5 down and they print a beta key out on your receipt.

Honestly it's one of the most ridiculous games I've ever played. Over the course of the first 13 hours of play time I think I won 3 games. People are just insanely good at it already, or know every little cheap shot they can do to rush you in five minutes.

That's always what SC was about though if you recall the original back in the day. It was the first person who could build up the most units in the first 3-4 minutes that would win.
 
Is this strictly only on Battlenet (if they even still use it) right now in Beta? Also... are you able to play against computers? I haven't played the original Starcraft in so long so I don't know of any recent changes that they have done. I was such a wuss to play against other players, and still am. lol I hope I can team up with like 4 other people to go against 3 computers. Ahh... the good days, playing with 2 friends, so incase anyone decides to backstab in a 5 vs. 3 comp map... they die miserably against the 3 of us.

Added: As NYCHitman1 stated above, I personally don't like the concept of whoever builds fastest, wins. I am someone who likes to be patient and keep building up my army, with upgrades and all, to feel comfortable attacking someone.

Oh I remember. I've played the original since launch day in 1998, and still play, but this game takes it to a whole new level. In Terran vs. Zerg, you'll get swarmed with 12 Zerglings before you can build more than two marines. It needs some balancing issues worked out.

Yep, just Battlenet. No AI computers yet. Oddly enough, hackers have developed good Computer AI for the pirated versions of the game, yet Blizzard still hasn't for the legit copy.

Really? Do you have a link or something that talks about this? I'm curious
