No kidding, this StarCraft II icon on the support page is online since 2008.
Nice, that those "experts" from incgamers have finally found this, too. [imgwh 28x18]

HKS says it's possibly because of the lighting engine that doesn't allow AA. I don't normally use AA anyway, but it shows like a sore thumb on every single screenshot they post with something angular in it like terran or protoss or doodads.
If it does allow AA then they're being silly posting screenshots without it.

Blizzard is really rolling out the cards, now.

There's your beta sys requirements. They are astonishingly low, but I'll hold my reservations until I actually see it... wc3 and WoW's reqs are low as well, but both can easily cripple your computer.

That just goes to a "couldn't find any search results" page.
I couldn't find the requirements page, what is it under?

More specifically its a set of older WoW requirements, first thing that struck me as off was the 15gb space requirement when WoW is barely hitting that with 2 expansions.

They're just planning ahead.

Well, everyone getting their hopes up that this was an indication they could run sc2 on their 10 year old pieces of shit are about to get TROUNCED.
I wouldn't be surprised if it still reached 15 gigs though.

Holy computer overload, Badman! 15 Gigas??? That's what I'd have planned for a Duality RPG, if I ever made one. I mean, c'mon, I know games today are large, but I thought it was 6 to 8 gigas tops!

Nah, I'd be surprised if it DIDN'T get up to 15-20 gigs.

At my request, Blizzard allocated an additional 9 gigs of storage space in the requirements for my Celestial Reverie campaign. Yes, you will be required to download Celestial Reverie in order to play StarCraft II.
