Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Well on the brighter side it doesn't look like that stupid infested bunker we saw last blizzcon. That makes me slightly happier.

Yeah I would guess a long range artillery or AA unit, or that giant piece in the back is a shield with some sort of dynamic.
