Blizzard released a preview of the new Battle.net today and all I can say is: GIMME!   When they delayed SC2 until 2010 it was because they were being held up by the Bnet overhaul.  Well, Bnet looks pretty dang polished and ready to me.  In the video there are 60 games of SC2 being played… C’mon, let’s make it a million shall we?

The goofy words being thrown around like “always connected” and “persistent characters” are a bit much.   It’s an account that you log in to; you’ve always been connected when you’re connected.  Persistent characters or features… mhmm that’s called an account.  We have them already.  They’re wonderful.  Competitive ladders… yep we’ve had those.   Lots of social goodies like achievements and neat pictures that we can earn, yada yada yada.   To be honest, all you have to say is “it’s better” and leave it at that.  I’d rather not think about how long it’s taken to turn Bnet blue and add achievements.  I’d rather focus on how wonderfully polished and Blizzardesque it’s all going to be.

Okay, so the match making system sounds neat.  The mod support has me absolutely horrified and excited at the same time.  And since it’s all connected and we can talk to the people playing WoW, I can’t wait to get my first gold spam while zerg rushing a fool.

So yeah, GIMME!

PS. This means SC2 is coming soon I hope?
