Now… AMAZING news from blizzard just today! Starcraft 2 patch 2.0.4 will be released this week.
And why is that AMAZING news, you ask?
This patch will prepare us for Heart of the Swarm BIG TIME.
Check it out:
- New replay features, such as Watch with Others and Take Command At last!!! You can play
with a friend, watch the replay together and Take Command (which is to “continue” the game at
whichever point you desire). Practice late-game play very easily.
- New matchmaking options: Training Mode, Vs.AI Mode and Unranked Play I for one only
really care about the Unranked Play. I suffered under the Ladder pressure, and hated getting my
ass handed to me 5-6 games in a row, and now… I’ve tried it in the beta and it’s soooooo much
more relaxed, It’s like laddering on a Jacuzzi!
- Players Near You, a new search option so you can find Starcraft II players on your local network,
YES! A great way of organizing a Local LAN Party or Barcraft even, get to share your interests
with more people near you.
- Clan and groups support in-game, great to more easily access practice partners or just people
who play the same as you do.
And much more that will bring us closer to the Heart of the Swarm experience.
Stay tuned, as we are going to be bringing you guys all the good stuff, all you need to know and the best
Heart of the Swarm content available!
P.S.: As a bonus, we have brought the best Heart of the Swarm game available at the moment, THIS IS
IT!
