the Extractor and Spire both had some kind of decent defense attack. the spawning pool and some other building did not (earlier clip in the video), perhaps they didnt have some new building defense upgrade at that point.

Arr, the whole continuous laser thing didn't seem to function very well mechanically as splash damage, but I gotta say, it looked a whole lot cooler. Now they just alternate spread pew pew from either "armsocket" and it kinda lost its kickass

Edit: while I think the graphical aspects of beams are very difficult to put into practice, if they must stay I would prefer up to six continous beams at the same time, doing single unit damage but together working as splash, and looking awesome.

The trailer is very epic. Kerrigan has taken her time to muster strength, and the laughable Protoss have no choice but to tremble before the swarm.

A galactic conflict began millennia ago can only now be decided. The wounds are still fresh, but the Queen of Blades has no qualms about raking them deeper.

I'm so excited I could shit my pants

Concerned about the lack of muta micro potential that Jaedong mentioned. Hope it doesn't indicate a trend

IMO the gameplay video didn't show any real gameplay, just cinematics with the engine. I'd really like to see how the game actually plays, like a VOD of a match between pros or something ;D

That was a mindblowing display of the new units. And I like the coverage. Nice read.
I just love video games, what's your excuse?

it's going to be very hard to balance the game with the nydus worm available... (if it's a late game unit) both terran and protoss could not move all units away from their bases, they would need defending all the time.

O c'mon, it's a poor quality 300 by 200 ish pixel vid of a game you have never played before. What did you expect!?

That said, you are totally right about the importance of clarity, but these vids can't give evidence one way of the other.

Lots of nice innovations. It's nice to see Blizzard trying to put so much new ideas into the game and making each unit special. However, the Zerg look even more Warcraft-like than the other races. I am also sad Dark Swarm made a return - maybe they will tweak it :|

it's cool with 3D, but if they'r gonna use it, they have to make it possible to micro!

spare me the cliche names...they do this so kids and people with no imagination can understand what the hell the units are.

i was really troubled by the messages about not having the possibility to hit and run! this is one of the factors that seperates SC from WC3.

The worst of all is probably the emphasise on doing a lot of spells instead of microing units. why not do them both?! the videos showed only massive fights with no possibility to distinguishe units from one another. this might only be the bad quality of the video's of course! but still, i hope they really listen to the progamers during the beta, as long as the players keep staying open minded. in my opinion, this looks easier to play..

The great thing is that they ask the progamers what they think! this means that they focus on it being a competitive game, wich is sonymous with a good game in my opinion

i think we're all agonna love this game like it ws our own little baby after balancing and other fix up's, this IS gonna be a great game!!!:D
Terran er best! Ingen protest!
