Pure white backgrounds are hard on the eyes.


Starcraft 2 is an overall darker game than Starcraft visually, with way more contrast. Bel'Shir Beach is fine, so I think a pure snow map could be as well. Anyway if you look at the snow and ice textures they're far from pure white.

It looks way too flashy to be the default. It's probably just a Campaign-only upgraded Queen.

What the hell is "post-humous mitosis"? It's an upgrade for the ling and the pic shows 2 broodlings...

"post-humous" means "after death", so I'm guessing it's a Penumbra-style upgrade for a Zergling.



it means they spawn broodlings after they die, which will be LOL OP rape face in campaign because of the 3 ling per egg upgrade. lings actually won suck in single player it seems and will probaly be the main unit used rather then pure roach or pure hydra or something.

Man, if these pictures are true I am so dissapointed. Kerrigan was so hot and now that? Sorry, no. Give us a hot Kerrigan, please.

- Possible new zerg unit the looks like a cross between a larvae and a hydra


It introduced itself in one of the cinematic screenshots; I feel like it's some sort of advisor or something, but so is that Queen thing.. I don't know. Baby Overmind? hehehe.

I was looking at that Toss picture on that dutch site and thinking 'wtf is that protoss building?' Shield battery would be interesting


I'm assuming it is a shield battery because Blizzard wanted to place it in a base where the defense is three Archons.

The mysterious Protoss building seems to have a device hovering over it when it's powered. In the screenshots with the mass Protoss shields, that same device appears over the Protoss buildings and seem to be emitting those orange shields.

Also, it seems that buildings become unpowered whenever that shield is activated, which is indicated by the unpowered cannons and dark Gateways despite nearby Pylons.

Some sort of self-inflicted Stasis, maybe? They can't be attacked, but also can't receive power?

Also very interesting picture of Kerrigan in the campaign menu, choices between special ops upgrades and corruption upgrades. Just how involved in the campaign will she be? And are we seeing early hints as to the potential endings - will there be different ones depending on how corrupt she went? Will that have an impact on the levels in the campaign?

Also looking at these it seems those that guessed she would be collecting the zerg armies together under her will were right - lot's of 'defeat this zerg name' and 'collect that brood' objectives there. Also Abathur and Izsha - the angel and devil on the shoulder of Kerrigan?

I don't know if I'm seeing this right but was there something that looked like a defiler mound in one of the screenshots?

One can hope.

Kerrigan hijacking the psi network to mess with Protoss defenses?

Would be my guess. Doesn't really explain the mysterious building though.

She actually appears in some of the screenshots running alongside Roaches. So it'll be kind of like SC1; you always had your hero units participating in the missions :D Also doesn't the screenshot say you can switch between missions? So idk if it'll even matter what you choose.

Cool idea about Abathur and Izsha, although both are so distinctly Zerg and I would think angel/devil would be reflected by Terran/Zerg. I feel like Abathur is going to represent Kerrigan's swarm (as in he's physically real) as a whole judging by its presence in the unit upgrade screen, while Izsha is just a mental projection.

yes because raynor was the same way in WoL. there was good decisions and bad decisions he could make and all of them affected the overall story of the game depending on which u chose, which provided re-playability.

Don't know if you're serious or not. the decisions barely effected the storyline, except for the researches and the last mission.

Love those detailed zerg models in the evolution screens! I like that version of the roach more than the in-game model! Can't wait till tomorrow when more sites release info.

All of this is still under NDA until 3AM Eastern. In the interest of fairness to sites who respect that restriction we are removing links and images until then.
