Video is from an SC2Mapster article about Blizzcon. Article also includes various videos from the panels.
http://www.sc2mapster.com/announcements/blizz-con-2011/

There is a TON of good stuff from the panels, especially from the Mapmaking and Art panels. The vods are worth checking out.

Specifically, the video about new Creep effects and new physics effects is really cool

I agree. This is like... the evolution of StarCraft, seeing it go from 2D --> 3D. I can see why they chose to redesign so many things, the game looked awkward as a straight BW port.

Also, not hating on Blizzard, but at this point they we're using BW sounds for units... this is 2006. It was 2010 when they released the game, they had 4 years to do BW quality sound effects... what happened...?

I never realized how different the game looked back then.

And the rag doll effect with the burrow charged ultralisk was pretty funny. xD

This is a sick video. I feel like I need to watch it more times to actually appreciate how they did it.

Those are some awesome vids. I love the physics engine changes throughout.

if you look in the earlier builds you would spy a multiplayer (aka lan) in the menus...

Woah, at first I thought it was a SC1 to SC2 history. And then I did double take when I realized it's all about SC2.

awesome!

His voice sounds shaky

I'm guessing he felt it was a real honor and all to present this (hint from how he said that moment in korea was the best in his life)

So you're saying it's fine to pirate games?

Not everyone who uses LAN is a pirate. Some legitimately use it. If Blizzard is so scared their sales will plummet if they release LAN for SC2, then they are just being a greedy corporation. Battle.net 2.0 is like StarCraft II's room, and Blizzard is the parent. They tell SC2 to get to their room and stay there, and it does.

In short B.net 2.0 is literally there to control it's playerbase, otherwise they had no real reason to remake the original.

You foolish little commie, a company exists to support employees and their families. Being scared people will steal something and taking steps to prevent that is greedy? Clearly you have no sense of morals. =)
