How to Play a Starcraft 2 Beta Replay

"StarCraft II" is a real-time strategy game that allows you to play as one of three factions: Terran, Zerg or Protoss. Matches, whether against a computer or other actual players, can be easily recorded and shared with other players. The typical Fog of War is lifted in the replay and you may even see the exact order of buttons the user pressed. This replay feature was even included when the game was in beta testing phases. You can watch a replay that was recorded during beta just like any other replay.
