slens says:
hey
in chinaland
are you 100% sure they are playing hacked sc2 beta multiplayer?
FiFifiFI says:
what
yeh
slens says:
like 100% sure its not real beta, and 100% sure that its not versus ai?
FiFifiFI says:
pretty sure
hmm
its not v ai
and unless 80% of the people i know have beta keys
yeh
slens says:
can you find out more from anyone?
FiFifiFI says:
prob
gonna go play some sunday
hopefully
unless they're full up
slens says:
ok ask around please and let me know if you can find out more
FiFifiFI says:
doesnt make sense that a net cafe would have beta keys for public use anyway
hmm
actually that might be it
but i doubt its mass released
makes no sense
slens says:
you said you saw people spawning at high yield locations right
FiFifiFI says:
yeh
its hacked to some extent
slens says:
sure they werent being gay and flying their commancd center there?
FiFifiFI says:
no they started there
slens says:
if you can play, take a look at the UI and how you launch the game
ok


Completely inconclusive + im aware im just some random that doesnt have all the facts, but hopefully he finds out more next time he heads there.


if anyone has any ideas, please add to this!

probably just playing against ai, I think, considering that they are spawning at high yield expansion.
I'm in Shanghai, and I'm not aware of any multiplayer cracks. But I don't go to net cafes.
