In the trailer, gameplay pictures, and gameplay vids, most of us are focusing in on the new units and the battles. There are some small details I've been noticing after watching these again:

"Real men drill deep" (gameplay picture)

A dancing holographic girl (gameplay vid when Immortals are introduced)

I'm sure after some of you guys have watched these for the 10 billionth time you've found some more. Post 'em all here!

Command box is 4x5 instead of 3x3

When the Nydus worms 'die' they retreat back into their holes.

Mutalisks shots still bounce, although not as far as before. Also, their attack 'shriek' is gone.

in the gameplay video where the gigantic swarms of zerglings are attacking what he called 'upgraded zealots' (this was right before the Collusus unit was introduced which killed all the zerglings), not a single zealot died for at least 16 seconds of being underattack by zerglings (the outer zealots were being attacked by over 5 zerglings for at least 12 full seconds and it and none of its friends didnt die)
keep in mind this is being played not on the Fastest speed, probably Average/Normal or whatever, yet still something seemed off there. maybe they had tons of upgrades

also keep in mind that yes while the 2 Colluses racked up tons of zergling kills, they were with the support of 16 upgraded zealots (5 total zealots were dead by the end of the zergling massacre) attacking before and through the whole duration, i imagine 2 reavers along w/ 16 zealots would also do fairly well vs gigantic groups of zerglings like that

also while they said Dustin Browder said the word 'create' when he was warping in the first stalkers, I believe he meant warp in already created units through using the Warp Gates to be able to transport units to anywhere on the map that is powered by protoss psionic energy field (so what pylons and phase prisms both provide)

I think "create" just basically means rally points of warp gates are instant teleport, instead of walk/fly over.

Not sure though.

From what I've read on sc2.com, I think you're perfectly right. We may be both wrong tho

Im pretty sure Raist is on target about the 'create', although LR does bring up another aspect of it. The units need to be produced already, and can probably be set to rally at a location like in SC, or wait in the Gateway to be teleported into battle via the prisms.

Small detail probably mentioned already: riot shields and bayonets on the Marines. Makes sense that they have something to counter Zerglings and Zealots. Not sure if they actually have a purpose.

From IGN guy:
3:10 - Terran reapers - can hop across uneven terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whenever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range.

They just wanted to create the zealots perilously surrounded by lings situation. obviously you cannot do that with normal stats.

the nice thing about colossus attack is that unlike any attack in bw, it can carry over from one unit to the next, the laser melting more and more lings, switching targets smoothly within the same cooldown period.

On the other hand, surround/kill micro against col with lings will be less effective. you could take out an archon in bw with like 8 cracklings if they attacked it from all sides at once. colossus however, will just melt them all with laser ... unless, of course, they made this damage-carry-over ability work only if successive targets are within a reasonably small angle from one another - that would be best.

I know its not THREE-DEE!!

AH i now understand completely! ok this guy who was sending comments live as he was watching the video at the event, he undoubtedly got all his info from what he saw there at the event. Now, he tells us about this 'protoss having the ability to create shields whenever they want' was put right after the terran reapers intro he gave but before the "warp units anywhere in pylon range." And in the gameplay video which is the same video he was watching you can tell he is obviously mixing up 'shield' with 'power field' (the reapers jump into toss base, kill a pylon, Dustin Browder says "the Protoss can use their Phase Prisms to create a power field anywhere they wish"). Looking at the video, to someone who's quickly writing these bits and sending them live and who doesn't know Starcraft very well, you can see why he didn't know what to call the power field.

Long paragraph short, I have no doubt, there is no "Create shields wherever they want" ability for the Protoss.

Did anyone notice how fast shield regenerates for the mothership? It went from 0 to like 120 in like 3 seconds.

Maybe they fixed the stats etc so that none of the units they were demonstrating would die?
