What doee all the preceding mean? Most of you will recognize them as system stats, and that is exactly what they are. They are the system requirements for the Starcraft 2 Beta that has started a short time ago. I would like you to take special note that we did indeed say Beta, so these are not the actual confirmed system requirements for Starcraft 2.
With Blizzard, giving us almost no information on the website in terms of system requirements this is a good break for many gamers in wondering if their computers will have enough grunt to play Starcraft 2. Expecting a few changes in the above numbers, such as more hard drive space and perhaps heftier RAM, this at least gives us a decent idea on what will be expected from our computers come the release date of Starcraft 2, a date of which after 12 years is still unconfirmed.
