If you check out the artwork video, and look at 00:45 with the picture of the stalker, you can see reavers along side it. This probably means reavers will be in the game.

Actually not the stalker, I mean the colosus. I also think I see a dragoon in the picture.

good point, reavers didnt catch that

but this psi storm ppl are talking about from the artwork video, the only thing i saw that resembled one could easily just be regular lightning storms from the planet's weather (seen @ 1:37)

also i see a fallen carrier and a terran helicopter in the artwork

Are you talking about when the zerglings attack the cannons? Because it reaaaally looked like psionic storm being cast.

Either way it loooks fucking hot and i am stoked, also those terran is going to need something else to fight protoss. It used to be Vultures>Zealots>Tanks>goons>zealots. Goons are now almost INVULNERABLE to tanks.

I thought it went without saying that the SC1 unit combos are out the window in SC2.

The final battle in the gameplay demonstration uses unit spawning triggers, as you can see marines popping out of nowhere during some of it.

Yeah, and the High Templar onscreen also did that "I'm casting a spell" animation right before it happened

Don't know if this was posted before, but a lot of pictures, such as the 5th screen on starcraft2.com (http://www.starcraft2.com/screenshot.xml?5), make it look like the marines are carrying large shields. They look like foot soldiers in W3.

There's a psi storm in the artwork video around 1:30 (like you said) You can see the temp to the right, it isn't the planets weather.

Anybody who thinks SC1 strategies and tactics automatically are going to work in SC2 is just going to hurt their ability to learn the game. It's the same as people taking SC ideals into Warcraft 3 and getting absolutely demolished. Consider this a brand new game and form new ideas about what works and what doesn't. Don't assume that because (for instance) ghosts are underused in SC1 that it will continue to be the case in SC2.

Any assumptions you have going into the game will hurt your gameplay more than it'll help it.

Yeah, I'm going to try to go in as a complete noob so I can completely switch tactics.

jingXD, I'm pretty sure they were the Reapers? I'm not sure :-/

Can somebody clarify as to why they have those shields?

EDIT: Medics, maybe? rofl if that's true then that was so obvious T_T
