All recent Blizzard games are supported on the service. These games include Starcraft, Warcraft II, StarCraft, and Brood War, as well as soon-to-be-released games such as WarCraft III and Starcraft II. No special software is required to connect to Battle.net. The functionality is integrated with each of the aforementioned games.

As an extra service to its players, Blizzard has developed a Kali-like internet server designed specifically for Starcraft. Entitled "battle.net", all a player must do is load up Starcraft and select Multiplayer and b.net from the menu to be linked to a battle.net server. From that point, players may chat in a variety of channels, challenge other opponents, or engage in multiplayer games. Blizzard charges no fees for this service, no startup, hourly or monthly costs, so gamers can battle to their hearts' content. Unfortunately, the eight-player game limit is still in effect. The only requirement is a Internet connection. Be aware that any hourly or monthly charges from your local Internet Service Provider still apply. Battle.net will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Allen Adham, president and founder of Blizzard Entertainment, spoke recently to the press concerning this new service.
