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.

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 | ||

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. | ||

 . 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. | ||

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

-Do I see destructible terrains? Hmm.. maybe it's just visual but still cool. And yeah, passable river looks cool. I wonder if modding/mapping allows changeable terrain... like a dam breaks and the river runs faster washing away the units or becomes unpassable due to it being deeper? XD -I'm not liking Archons wearing armour. It kinda ruin their special energy beings feel. If they should put armor, I would kinda want the legs back. -Wait, so Nighthawk is an air unit. And Hellion has wheels. And it doesn't look like Marauder always hover. So no more hover units for Terran? Oh wait: there's still SCVs. Oh well. Hellion looks weird, why isn't it in hover? -I still have nitpick with Thor. It still looks like a Johnny Bravo waiting to fall over. Hmm.. why did they choose legs instead of tracks since tracks go faster as an advantage. Feels kinda very bad design choice(I mean like as an advanced human race in the future). -Nighthawks. Weird aesthetic design. Futuristic cool though. Just kinda looks like it doesn't fit with Terrans mass manufacturing them. Keeping my eye on this. I hope they don't stop working on this. -Battlecruiser launching multi-missiles looking weird. Should have been multi-lasers. Give that to Thor (Maybe already has them but they shouldn't limit it to firing air units only). But this is just a minor nitpick so I can tolerate this. -Marauders seems like should be considered Mechanical. They're bigger or as big as Hellion. -Everything else looks swell. Hmm... in summary, hey Terrans, you're cool but not cool enough for SC2...yet. | ||

the grenades were something different, the new attack is just lame...and the slow-down effect is gone, too o.O you can see it at the beginning of this video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41335.html | ||

Nonsense Its completely different from Zeratul, the zeratul model is the 2nd screenshot, in the cage. Look the new screens better and you will see one with various DTs, from the 2 types. Also the portrait has nothing similar to zeratul. Please dont confuse people. | ||
