The sychronization of animations has to go. Savio already mentioned that zerglings looked stupid hopping all at the same time. Also the Terran buildings with their cranes moving all at the same time is pretty dumb looking. Just change it so they move in schedule of when they're started | ||

-For God's sake, do something about the Terran building designs. The majority of them look very much like Tonka toys. Ideally, they should be more metallic with sharper edges, and possibly scaled down a bit. -The Thor is too big in comparison to the other units. -The Hellion needs a face lift. It looks like a dune buggy. -Judging from Battle Report 1, it was hard to tell what color the Protoss was (red). I didn't figure it out until the Protoss player started making Colossus'. I know how others have felt about it, but I rather liked the colored Pylons when I first saw them. However, they could find another way to emphasize the colors of the Protoss. The crystal blue Pylons just totally overwhelms the team color. - The Zerg creep is too dark and I cannot distinguish creep from units/buildings. -The Mothership either needs to be scrapped or revamped. I am not pleased with this unit. -The Siege tank still looks a bit chunky and toyish, although it is a big improvement from the original. -I don't like the Medivac idea. Just bring back the medic. While I do have a lot to say about the balance, I trust that Blizzard will not mess this up since it is/was the main driving force behind SC's success. The graphics and design complaints however, have to be heard since it's very possible that they won't change considering we are already so close to beta. | ||

honestly, wtf and its fully possible to update graphics after beta. Alpha is to get the core of the game down, and get units finalized, Beta is going to be to try and get the balance right and see how the game actually plays. The graphics have nothing to do with how the unit performs, they could easily update things after beta and before release. I'm sure Terrans and protoss will get an update soon, lately i think they have just been focusing on the zerg. | ||

They look too much like a helicopter, which is not very Starcraft-ish to me. Graphically, the Terran buildings are bugging me the most. It is really hard to say what the final product will look like, but I can only hope they follow through and make everything look good. | ||

How would flapping your wings real fast (even in space) not bring you forward?? | ||

yes the creep is too dark. banelings need to roll, ive seen them waddle and walk, this is bad. the point about synchronization is huge. a bunch of synchronized zerglings?!?! they wouldnt seriously consider that? | ||

You walk out in your group of MnMs and then suddenly blood covers your space helmet as your buddy next to you gets explosively disassembled by underground lurker spines. In terror you jab the stimpack into your arm and feel the burst of pain and adrenalin as you watch zerglings thunder towards you in another direction. You run and fire your gun in terror, trying to get back in range of the cover fire of siege tanks. Your hopes soar when you see the tanks in the horizon, but the zerglings have already caught up to you and you watch in horror as your very own artillery shells blow up your medic girlfriend together with the zerglings mauling her. Still running you make it back into the base behind the tank and bunker lines. You try to get to the command center to tell your commander about the situation, only to get 11 glaive worms traveling at Mach 5 tear through your shoulder, and then bounce back and explode on your knee cap. The last thing you see is the sky going orange and insects covering the sky.... And lets not forget ultralisks dropping from the sky @_@ Gosh i'd shit my pants if i saw an elephant crash down next to my house. Ultras must have air cushioned knees or something so they don't splatter when they fall down. back on topic: I wish they would fix up the starcraft lore a bit more in sc2. I rmb reading about terran ghosts with psy-storm in the lore of Starcraft: Ghost. Could they maybe tie up the many loose ends and maybe make at least a plausible theory regarding zerg space travel? Maybe the ovies have ion propulsion farts or something and expand to swallow up flapping mutalisks in their bellies. Or hell maybe ovies can only space travel with larvae/drones, and so each new planet they colonize they have to build from ground up again. That could help explain why each pro-gamer always begins by building a base up from ground zero. They are all just having massive battles on different planets! God knows how many planets July has under his control, and maybe Jaedong's mutas are a different evolved strain. | ||

This is a complaints thread. Complaints don't necessarily have to be constructive. Some people need to lighten up and stop getting all defensive when someone criticizes SC2. | ||
