Patch 1.5 Arcade Beta - Rate The Game Contest

Patch 1.5 Arcade Beta - Rate The Game Contest

The Arcade Beta Rate the Game contest is now over! We'll be notifying the winners as soon as possible.

 

The new Arcade game portal promises to bring big improvements to the way we all play custom games. It brings with it a whole swarm of new features, including new search options, Game Info pages that will show you everything you need to know to jump right into the action, and ratings and reviews too. Of course, ratings and reviews are at their most useful when other players have already chimed in to provide their perspectives, and we want to make sure this feature is working great before Patch 1.5 is released. That’s where you come in, because your ratings and reviews could earn you a beta key for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm while you help us test the Arcade Beta at the same time.

If you want to get into the action, playing the Rate the Game beta contest is easy. First, visit your account management page, download and install the Arcade (1.5.0) Beta product you see in the game accounts section, then hop into the Arcade to play. To enter the contest, all you have to do is play, rate, and review an Arcade game. The first time you rate and review a new game each day the contest is running gives you another chance to win, so it pays to visit every day until the contest ends. At the end of the contest period we’ll randomly choose 250 eligible contestants to win StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm beta keys!

Please remember that you’ll need an active StarCraft II account in good standing to win, and be sure to read the rules before you get started.

Patch 1.5 had alot of issues, my computer would take even longer now to load maps and there would be graphical error in most of the arcade maps. Even the Campaign had some graphical errors where a command center would have its flying animation even when it's landed.

An italian judge said:The more a country is corrupted the more leglislater are making law against it.If they nerfed the hellion because it they could 2 shot scv with blue flame upgrade why would banshee and reaper kill scv 2 shot with NO upgrade.Blizzard is making game for specific public,and the public for stracraft 2 is of cours Korean WHO PLAY TERRAN!

@StarPlayer: One of the MVPs stated that it was delayed. If they hand out keys to the winners you'll know about it. It's not something that can be kept private really.

Arcade is fun, Needs more people really. Hate waiting 20 minutes for a game to start. Trolling the 3 chats that people sit in waiting for them to feel like joining. I like it tho. Needs more games, and more people.

People can't read. The date the keys will be given out and winners announced is clearly stated in the contest rules. "Be sure to read the rules" before you get started. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who didn't bother reading.

250 people is certainly not enough for a beta, so how will people other than the contest winners get beta keys?
