Well, it looked kinda funny when that epic army approached the base and totally razed it. Bunch of Thors and BCs, and... 8 puny, little marines underneath them.

Come on, guys, SC2 isn't an anime where there are epic mecha battles! (the heck, most commonly in anime we have one super soldier mech~). That's at least what what TvT seems to look like. It's too early to say though~

Oh, do Thors have minimum range like Siege Tanks? If so, they could probably crumble under cracklings flood. Would be funny if they could just simply STOMP those puny little zergs. Or marines. Gimme the game! >_>

Well when you have a late game army with a lot of BCs floating above your units, big units mixed with small units.. things are gonna get cluttered looking, the same holds true in SC1.

youtube really needs to roll out HD, not higher quality, but HD so that not just games can be seen better, but everything. Still though no doubt there will be numerous vods on youtube and the quality will be a bummer, the site name escapes me, but I've been there before its like a lesser known youtube but higher quality.

oh here's one, http://www.vimeo.com/hd

I found everything was as discernible as a starcraft game, no problem. Thanks for sharing the vid, and thanks for the interview translation.

The graphics are AWESOME D: Although the new siege tank person looks kinda weird (not a big worry though).

The biggest thing I'm worried about (besides gameplay of course) is sound. It seems like all the terran units are the generic tough guy which might get repetitive really fast. I noticed that in the scv, siege tank, thor, I think the reaper (haven't heard much of him though and the viking. There might be more too.

I think the battlecruiser guy sounds a bit weird and I really think they should put in the Terran general from the announcement video (the one with the orange eye). I think he would fit as battlecruiser.

The scv death sound is funny (not in a bad way, for some reason I laughed at it xD)

The attacking sounds are also kind of boring (imo). In brood war each unit had a distinct sound (vulture grenade, goliath air attack, marines attack, etc.) while from what I've seen starcraft 2's are high quality but are the generic laser or gunfire shots. The one I miss the most is the old sieged tank firing sound. That sound was epic and while the new one is high quality... it just doesn't sound as amazing. (It sounds like a generic tank shot to me)

Think the siege tank guy sounds great =D.

Not sound related but thors are fucking huge. Perhaps make it smaller since it doesn't turn slow anymore.

Hope they fixed the marine death sound by now <<;

The battlecruiser's attack now definitely looks and sounds powerfull, unlike in sc:bw. I also liked the jackals attack.

Battlecruisers do 8x8=64 damage in sc2, so yes its a lot more powerfull than before. Not just looks, now they are real combat units instead of the flying semi casters they were before.

the army looked a little ridiculous onscreen all at the same time. not so much a terran ball as it was a terran blob (a lot of overlapping). and the marines next to all the metal did look more realistically proportionate (as opposed to BW), but how are we supposed to distinguish em?

what was up with the jackal that fired constantly (the one in the middle) as opposed to the other two that fired normally?

I don't know how people are distinguishing things in these sc2 videos. I didn't notice a barracks at all...or any particular unit/structure whatsoever. The entire thing looks like a giant bowl of fruity pebbles...

The barracks is actually easily distinguishable. Watch the beginning again.

It's funny though, the complaint has been raised repeatedly..."I CAN'T TELL WHAT ANYTHING IS!!!" Think back to when SC1 was released. If, on your first day playing the game, you'd seen a giant swarm of zerg with ultas, lings, mutas, hydras, and lurkers, would you have known what the hell was going on? SC2 brings new unit models (along with new units) -- everything looks different. If you play SC2 as long as you've played SC1, you will be able to distinguish units in a large groups the same way you can in the original. You've got to get used to it at all.

Have any of you noticed these two flying ships above factory's tech lab at around 0:46-0:48 ?
Seems like new design of nomad, but it can perhaps be only medivac dropship.

ugh. I cant stand thors, they are so gay. They dont feel like terran, they dont feel like starcraft. Its a dumb unit, akin to the mothership. It doesn't even make sense with the reality of terran at present; half their population obliterated, 3 governments rise and fall within the space of a few years, near constant warfare=utter devastation. Somehow, they can afford building these giant fucking mechs? It's just stupid. Terran are humans, with a strong mechanized addition, they are not mechs themselves. The thors like like shit out of mechwarrior.

I wont buy the game unless thors are removed or drastically altered.
