![]() Just an FYI – pressing F5 toggles between StarCraft legacy and Remastered so the shortcut does not need changing. Steam shortcut codes for Activision's non-Blizzard game titles, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as well as all of Blizzard's Battlenet launcher games – including StarCraft Remastered, World of Warcraft Classic and Warcraft III: Reforged are listed following the Battlenet Game Shortcut Codes section.įor this guide, I will be using StarCraft to demonstrate: ![]() The Steam overlay has been tested and confirmed that ALL games tied to the Battlenet Launcher run flawlessly – even in Big Picture mode, In-Home Streaming and Steam Link hardware. ![]() Moreover, the file path will not break with updated versions of the launcher. This method does not need any scripts, installers, or attempts to bypass the Battlenet Launcher altogether. When I stumbled upon this process (which I modified from another YouTube video suggestion), I was shocked by how deceptively easy it was. I also wanted to share this with others who were also frustrated by suggested methods that were tedious, outdated or simply did not work. Hit StarCraft 2's site for more information on how all this would work.This guide is sort of an updated companion of my YouTube tutorial because I wanted to take screenshots from my favorite Blizzard games and play on my TV using the Steam Link. I already liked how StarCraft 2's Arcade was free, letting everyone play the many weird and wonderful custom maps and modes, and giving everyone full multiplayer is a great move. It'll be yours for keepsies but you will need to fire up the client (yes, it is still ) during that window to claim it. Oh, and that Nova campaign is sold separately too, as it is now.Īnd that free Heart of the Swarm I mentioned? If you owned Wings of Liberty as of October 31st, you'll be able to grab Heart of the Swarm free between November 8th and December 8th. If players dig the demo, they'll be able to buy the Zerg and Terran campaigns for $15 each, or they all come collected in the Battle Chest, same as they do now. That's not so bad, seeing as half the game's co-op commanders cost money currently anyway. As for the co-op limitation, commanders other than Raynor, Kerrigan, and Artanis will be capped at level five unless players pay. There's a little time-consuming faff to stifle people who'd abuse open free accounts, basically. Presumably to block cheaters, smurfs and other undesirables, ranked matchmaking will be locked until an account has won ten games on separate days in unranked play or against the AI. So! Free SC2, eh? Yup, Blizzard are turning the heart of it free, with one of the three big story campaigns, all the competitive multiplayer, and most of the co-op. Oh, and people who own Wings of Liberty but skipped Heart of the Swarm will be able to get that Zergy instalment free - if they claim it in time. If you dig it, you'll be able to buy the other bits of SC2 separately or in one big lump. From November 14th, everyone will be able to play the full Terran story campaign from the original Wings of Liberty, the competitive multiplayer including units from all three chapters, and - with some limitations - the cooperative mode too. A huge chunk of StarCraft II is going free later this month as a sort of big 'ol demo for the wider trilogy.
