the new multiplayer backdrop is so...beautiful. *drools*

They should move that flying unit to the side a bit though.. or does it move like WC3's backdrops?

The menu UI looks pretty bad, but I guess they'll rework it before release.

That's your opinion. So in your opinion, what looks "pretty bad" about it? How do you know the look of this one LAN menu applies to all menus? In any case of yours, I think simplicity with taste is the best policy when it comes to UI's. There will certainly be animations like a big metal door closing-in over the bg, opening to a new UI, and other stuff like that, which I don't think you've taken into account.

The bg is animated, which means that flying unit's going to be moving around. You can see blizzard moving toward this style of interface/bg with WCIII and WOTLK.

I think they're zerg buildings mid-production. They're glowing pink because the player color is pink.

the new hive... not feeling it. zerg shouldnt be so symmetrical. all the zerg units and buildings..just look like infested protoss stuff.

also that LAN menu... i dont think it will be available for the beta or full release. just to another example of what could be implemented but shall not be due to corporate interests.

only time will tell. its about muthafukin time.

If that is true that is awesome, the zerg with pink team color in general looks pretty cool!

The 3rd screenshot is still so... "pew pew"! I guess we'll have to get used to it. I wonder what the explosion in the 2nd screenshot is.
And darn I love em banshees.

So I've seen a lot of paranoid people saying "like omg there will be no LAN," but the game UI screen says "local games." Is this proof of LAN? :s

I kind of like the UI for the multiplayer, it's just that it takes up a bit less space as compared to the overall screen. Maybe making the menu size to screen ratio similar to WC3 would be better?

If you look at the SC2 general discussion forums there is a new post like everyday titled "WTF WHY DOES SC2 NOT SUPPORT LAN?!"

I wish the game menu screeny was larger so that I could make it my screensaver/desktop.

Broodlord's resemblance to large flying drones does not go unnoticed.

Corruptor is indistinguishable from a ground unit in the given shot.
