StarCraft II Official! (Pictures)

On another note, I'm wondering where Infoceptor's info on the SC2 units is coming from. Obviously a lot of it can come from the video. But where did they get succubi? Did I miss it in the video? They don't have any pictures which leads me to believe it was in an interview or something.

The Succubi was off-handedly mentioned in one of the previews somewhere; I only found it mentioned at 1up. But for the most part they are pulling this info out of their asses.

There's three Zerg units that'll never be gotten rid of-- Zergling, Hydralisk, and Mutalisk. Everything else after that is a matter of how 'iconic' Blizzard thinks they are to the Zerg, and in my mind the only other things that fit that bill are Overlord (duh), Ultralisk (intimidation beast), and Defiler (cannibalism, pure sadisdic Plague bombs).


I would be real happy if they ditched the Devourer for something more practical.

Yea, the section is really poorly written... They misspelled Aiur and the section on Ghosts says that they are recruited by the Confederacy. Oops.

[Lavarinth]

Why does Infoceptor still exist..

[AA7Dragoon]

Infoceptor is so retarded.  They're pretending to have official information by going off of screenshots and rumors.  They were just as bad at Warcraft 3

[Lavarinth]

I believe the only good thing they had was the SC to WC3 (More like 2) conversion which was demolished by Blizzard anyway.

Demolished, but not lost, heh heh...

There's a lot more going on there than here.

Preach it brothah! Hallelujah!

My old reaver....dead! They better have another Warbringer hero, a colossus would kick ass.

[Castlebunker]

The Colossus looks pretty awesome... I read somewhere that they are going to keep the number of units per race roughly the same, so that means that the scout, sair, and reaver are probably all going to bite the dust. Does anyone know why some marines seem to be carrying around shields while others do not?

[Lavarinth]

Upgrade, most likely. Like the Footman. Looks ugly if you ask me. I think the Colossus looks terrible as well. I love the functions it has, but it doesn't look Protoss at all to me.

Indeed.

Here's another question.

If they don't have factories to make reavers/ect, how the hell are they building giant fucking motherships and the colossus?

[Castlebunker]

They don't have factories to make reavers? I thought it was just the dragoons come from some specific thing on Aiur that they can't get to, I'm sure the Protoss have factories somewhere

[IskatuMesk]

I'm pretty sure reavers and motherships require more sophisticated factories then dragoons do. Sounds like a really cheap excuse to me.

Also makes me wonder how exactly the Dark Templar are pulling out Immortals... hmm.

[wibod]

They said goons were made at a shrine that has since been molested by Zerg. said shrine probably has some profound religous meaning to it and goons aren't goons without that shrine.

[IskatuMesk]

We require additional shrines.

Gods, I can just imagine.
