3:18 - warprey also very effective against structures - very vulnerable to small unit fire - shws warpreys getting wiped out by terran marines. Physics system lets debris from warpreys roll down a ramp. Showing one more unit - warped in in a serious of cubes - giant floating base - called a protoss mothership - can only have 1 at a time - cost big resources - special abilities include timebomb that slows all enemy missiles inside - shows terran missle launcher shooting in projectiles that stop in the field before they reach the ship - when field ends missiles drop the ground - planet cracker attack - giant lasers stream from ship to ground - ship can be moved around while planet cracker laser is active - the ship looks like a metallic, triangular sand dollar - mothership can create a black hole anywhere it wannts to - creates distortion that actually sucks ships in and destroys them - in the demo the black hole destroyed four terran battle cruisers in about ten seconds.

I really want to see this video.

 

[neutralizer]

Took long enough.

 

[newmachineoverlord]

the last time I upgraded my computer for a game it was for brood wars! I wonder what the recommended specs will be for this one.

This calls for celebration.

It-It's so...beautiful... *tears up* (or this is what I would say if I was in Korea right now...)

I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAAAAAY!!

"nuclear launch detected warning - every unit on screen destroyed - three nukes were launched at once - then zergs rush in and spell "GG" while turning into suicidal bombs."

That brings back memories.

 

[Brainonska511]

Hooray, another distraction to keep me from doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

3:26 - Showing another video of "things to come." concept art for SC2 - zerg landscapes - ruined terran structures - freen filds - SC2 looks, at least visually, strikingly similar to SC1 - both in unit and map designs. Now showing a giant rush of zerglings - probably over 100 of them, swarming with no slowdown - mroe character art - finishes with the StarCraft II logo.

More than 100? Considering the overall lack of change in units onscreen at one time, this sounds excellent.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

Wow, an RTS. I'm so excited.

I was worried that they were going to make SC2 like WC3, with low unit counts and slow battles.

Sounds like the opposite.

Agreed, high unit counts and fast battles are a major part of what made SC awesome. Of course, the most major part of the game is kickass music. Please don't make it ambient like WC3, Blizzard.
