Blizzard Entertainment, publisher of the famous World of Warcraft (WOW) announced that they are closing the beta testing for the real-time strategy sequel to the 1998 hit StarCraft, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

A lot of players worldwide are waiting for the official launch of this game and it is reported that this 3D graphics version of the battle between the protoss, terrans and zerg will be officially release on the first half of this year.

In a report from CNET.com, the company said that in their beta release there are thousands of people who is currently in the beta test. One of the main thrusts of the testing at this stage is for the company to get as much feedback as possible on the "multiplayer balance" of the game. In addition, the testers will be the first to experience Blizzard's reworked Battle.net online platform, which will be used for StarCraft II, WoW and all future Blizzard games, the company said. The new Battle.net will launch with StarCraft II.

One reason that they've seen that causes the delay of the launch of the StarCraft 2 is the delay in getting Battle.net ready.
