[Link no longer works.]
2. Install it. (If it does not Update, then remember to run the Starcraft 2 Beta to let it Update and get the latest patch.
3. To play the actual game, you cannot play using the beta, but one of our launchers. Just download one of the 4 launchers from here, http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/ (http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/)
Thanks to everyone who pitched in on letting us play against the AI!~
Notes~If you already have installed Starcraft 2, and you're just going to run one of the launchers, Remember to always update to the latest Patch. This can be done by just running the client itself.
According to the other posters though.. the change in difficulty isn't really there.. other than the medium difficulty on the wiki front page
About the first step:
Heres a direct download link for the client (GB version): http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/17193/StarCraft+2:+Wings+of+Liberty+GB+Closed+Beta+Client (http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/17193/StarCraft+2:+Wings+of+Liberty+GB+Closed+Beta+Client)
Hmm..It works for me. I put it on medium the protoss had 2 gateways, 1 forge and 2 zealots. In the same amount of time on the insane patch, they had 4 gateways, 1 forge, 1 cybernetics core, 2 assimilators, and 6 zealots, and 1 stalker.
Quick question about the launcher - why is not possible to run it on VM Ware? (when running it I get an error message saying that is not running on VM Ware).
SC2 Beta is running just fine, this one should too...

Try removing the difficulty patch.
you gays are really fast
yesterday, i played against myself, today i'm playing against ai, i think soon we'll be playing against each other!
Lol for that we'll need a private server.
didnt work D:
I also noticed it spawns two units at once.... strange do you think i should reinstall \sigh
New here and I've already done pretty much everything but LazyLaunch is telling me it cannot find Starcraft II beta. Anyone know why? I have it in the default install folder.
Where is it installed in>?

C:\Program Files (x86)
However I tried moving it to C:\Program Files files as well since I have both. Still no dice.
I may have figured it out. I noticed there is a new patch available I hadn't downloaded yet.
i think it has to be installed to c butim not sure
Omg Thx for this it seems pretty soon we will have a full patch to do all that without having to do all of it one at the time sorry for my english is not the best lol
Yeah you need it installed, just run the Beta.
Hey guys, this is working really well; only problem I have is that I can't get into a Lobby. NO! Not Multiplayer, I mean Custom Game lobby I can't pick my race, I can't pick my color, and I can't pick maps, I have to load the game from the lazylauncher thing. Whether or not it's supposed to happen, I'm not sure, but if I have to load it from that, it's fine. I'm just wondering if theres a fix to this.
Dude you can't play using The beta...You will need lazylaunch eithier way.
is there a better ai, or is that the best one there is?
@StarAlaMod
Go to Map section of this forum. Download the ''Enhanced'' AI's Terran, zerg and protoss. These are much much difficult to defeat.
deleted, wrong thread ;>
Nice guide. Plus one karma for you good sir.
