Wow, a lot of these look like they come from the campaign. Are those completely revamped zerglingslings in that last shot? Or are they broodlings? Wow.

I would guess that is a nighthawk (aka Nomad). The fact that you don't see it directly attacking anything in any of those shots seems to support that theory.

WOW that's a lot of screenshots, thanks so much!

and wtf, i barely recognize any units... big marines? terran arbiters? cacodaemon for zerg? wtf is all that O_o

edit : the lurkers are ridiculous. Having their head shown when they burrowed is just fugly

edit 2 : The terran arbiter sure looks nice, but i mean, this is nothing but a flying probe. I admit the beauty of the model, but i don't think it suits the Terran style.

edit 3 : the bunkers look badass

Wow, lots of new stuff. Can't say that I like the new Nomad skin (so it's called a nighthawk now?). Looks kinda insecty. There also seems to be what looks kinda like a zerg dragoon. (4 legs, it's got some sort of blade-like thing on the body) What's that supposed to be?

I think the unit you're referring to is the Zerg Roach.

I personally think the Nighthawk aka Nomad skin looks pretty cool, but as mentioned perhaps a bit too... elegant for Terrans. It wouldn't bother me if they kept it, it's still a badass looking model and they could certainly do far far worse.

Overall, I think the screenshots look pretty damn good. The Terrans overall look far far less cartoony than they did when they were released initially. I like the new look a lot.

The game is now looking alot more like Starcraft in 3D than Warcraft 3 in space .

As for the Terran Arbiter

The new Terran "Nighthawk" is an air support unit that already boasts a number of valuable skills, including the ability to drop turrets and shine a targeting laser that ups the damage done by other units by 50%. Their key ability previous to BlizzCon 2008, though, was simply their ability to detect hidden units and drop spider mines that dig into the ground and hit enemy units when they come near. The new "Seismic Thumper" ability makes the Nighthawk a game-changer for the Zerg player. One of the new Zerg's key abilities is to burrow, to go underground and get out of harm's way. Since the Nighthawk makes burrowing impossible, when it's combined with unlimited spider mines it tends to make short work out of lesser Zerg units, especially Zerglings. A Nighthawk near a Terran base then becomes the Infestor's (who travels while burrowed) worst nightmare. One thump and this already fragile unit is little more than Zerg sushi.


Sounds pretty neat. The targeting laser might lead to some nasty ghost sniping.

Edit: Hydras also are alot bigger perhaps due to their increase in food cost. Also stalkers are looking slick.

I like the new Stalker design. The nighthawk might want to look a bit more...scrappier. The zerg buildings look positively disgusting, which is good. Marauders look a bit big, in my opinion.

And about the winged/nonwinged zerglings, the winged zerglings are probably speed upgraded or something along those lines.

The screenshots are really bad and dont do justice to the actual game is my opinion. It looks far better when you are playing T_T°!

Every shot is a link to a high res version so check it out. To understand what is going on, you HAVE to see it in high res. especially the lings in the last shot.

So are you those really the new lings? Look at them up close...
