I can't tell if you're irate or excited. I'm gonna go with excited. The terran/zerg hybrids plus zerg units we haven't seen before get me really pumped for the single player, even though multi is where I will spend most of my time.

EDIT: Also, anyone notice the sentry in the data mined icons is the old version, with the skeleton-looking tail?

"On the galactic fringe the xel'naga returned to Aiur, one of their engineered worlds. They discovered there a race of tribal hunters with a psionically-enhanced communal society. When coupled with excellent physical attributes the xel'naga recognized the natives as superior candidates for the purity of form and, impatient with the slow pace of their evolution, began uplifting them,[1] using devices such as a giant crystal beneath Aiur.[3] They even used devices such as the Kassia crystal to enhance their rate of reproduction.[9] The natives were the first experiments to progress beyond a feral stage. In recognition of this the xel'naga named their new scions protoss, meaning first born."

I guess it would kind of make sense if they resemble one another.

Ho hum. Notice how the mothership can now create a huge warp field? Guess we'll be seeing more warpgate play, that is, if motherships are worth getting now.

Oh, and is it just me, or does the very last portrait in the second block look somewhat like Edmund Duke?

There is a NE banshee pilot and a Tauren Marine.

Notice the pictures right next to them, there is an undead marine (could be something else like a reaper tho) and an Arthas SCV. See his long blond hair going onto his shoulders? and the blue tinge is a dead giveaway.

I am so frustrated they made a patch (with it "released" content) and do not let us play.


SC:BW does get boring now that I have SC II in mind. God damn.

Ahhh I was gonna post this! I blame MW2 for being late! XP

Definitely a lot of interesting looking portraits. Some look like Xel'naga. Some just look fucking awesome! I wonder if there will be descriptions while in game...

...I also wonder what's "behind" the numbers... xP

Wait. Are you saying you would fuck a dead body if it looked good enough? Lol jk I don't know if anyone else jumped on your comment but I felt obligated to

My last ex-gf was like doing it with a dead body ^.^

I reckon Blizzard dumbed down violence and "sex appeal" so they could get a teen rating. Oh were they suprised.

btw just so everyone knows, upon logging on b.net and checking the names it's been revealed that these are not Xel'Naga per se but the Hybrids, one is a Hybrid Destroyer, another a Hybrid Reaver obviously the 2 look vastly different meaning the Hybrids should be quite interesting in unit composition and look.

Yah is it just me or do the Xel'Naga basically look like fancied up protoss.


Yeah... I mean, it looks badass and all since it's like a godly Protoss warrior, but I was expecting something more creative. I guess the Xel'Naga created the Protoss in their image/avatar? If you guys played Assassin's Creed then you know what I'm trying to say.

It looks like some sort of hellish marine to me, probably some sort of Diablo tie-in, seeing as it's directly after the Warcraft portraits.
