The new Battle.net is out!

Download the Game!

You can start downloading the retail game right now. It is 7gig and should contain all the campaign stuff. Keep posted as we will give you insights of what's in there.

Who should download StarCraft II in advance?
If you intend to purchase StarCraft II digitally, downloading the client now will allow you to simply pay and play when digital copies of StarCraft II go on sale.

Will digital copies of StarCraft II be available as soon as the game is released in stores?
No. They’ll go on sale slightly later, on 07/27/2010 10:00 AM PDT in North America and Latin America.

New Profiles

They have added a profile description. You can see the match history and the league ranking!

Leagues and Ladder

I am not sure weither if there's a global ladder with all the divisions, but at least we can get the division ranking of each player online.

Match History

There's a match history listing that even shows the custom maps! However this is not possible to get detail on the match nor on the map itself.

New Forums

Start posting on the new forums. And if you want you can even put some SC2Mapster in your message :)

Search

The new search function at the top of the StarCraft II community site is extremely robust. Please be sure to use it to look for similar topics, blog posts, or web pages that may contain the answer before creating your forum topic. Making a new thread on an existing subject will likely result in your thread being deleted. If you continue to repost it you're likely to have your posting privileges suspended for spamming. Worst of all, you'll be making the other forum goers upset that you didn't take a minute to search before posting.

Rating

The new rating system can be used to promote positive discussion, and demote unhelpful posts, or even report posts that violate the forum code of conduct. By hovering over a post you'll be presented with a thumbs up, and a thumbs down icon. Clicking the 'thumbs down' icon you can choose from a few options. Dislike will rate the comment down. If enough people dislike a post it will be darkened, or with a lot of dislikes it will be hidden. You can also quickly report a post as trolling or spam, or use the report function to fill out a more comprehensive description of the violation. You can only rate each post once. Use it wisely to help foster a positive and helpful forum community.
