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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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? | ||

Kerrigan hijacking the psi network to mess with Protoss defenses? Would be my guess. Doesn't really explain the mysterious building though. | ||

Also Abathur and Izsha - the angel and devil on the shoulder of Kerrigan? 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. | ||

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