If that Viking stays in the game it pretty much justifies my ludicrous VotF hero with a transforming Valkyrie (it turned into a Goliath).

Now I'm happy I didn't kill off Strassenburg.

Soul hunter was 100% out of place. It was a neat idea, but just not protoss or starcraft.

Actually I find those terrans to not... resemble terrans. They had this... a bit cowboy gig going on with the music, the replies like with colonies and stuff and this... It reminds me more of any generic scifi RTS then the terrans I grew up with! Yarr!

Raynor, in the naime of the baybe jaesus and the holy ghost you are under arrest for destroying a confederacy structure [/general duke]

edit:
comments on the screenshots:

1) well well well! now this is an awesome pic indeed....apart from the crappy fire effects. Seriously, look at the fire on the buildings. what the hell is that!? anyway, we can see a whole lot os structures. it looks like they are keeping the old factory with machine shop attacked. I couldn't help but notice a weird building on the north east corner...it appears to be named....Bar? WTF?
also, look closely at the barraks...the one closer to the nuclear blast, it has an add-on :o

2) DEFINETELY better than the WCIII models

3)ok, the model is good, but look at the face :o .it looks like..... a heart! what is that? is the ghost a girl now?

4)yep, thats pic 1 before the nuclear blast. check it out! there's a new defensive structure :o .its right next to the bunker.

5), 6), 7) cool

8) yeah, I've seen that in the artworks. My guess it it is the new terran air attacker.

9) say hello to my little friend! BOOM

10) what is that ???

11) yep, marine, its cool

12) nice, I think that is an abandoned add-on. I guess they have a landing pad now in case the correct building lads down on the location again.

13) 14) yep, the new tower thing. its cool.

15, 16) supply depot, same story, cool model

17) yawn

18)oh well this is nice! we can see the thor assault the protoss base. great graphics, the explosion effects are similar to C&C3, something I'm happy to see :) from what I can see the thor is the equivalent for the collosus apart from the fact that it apparently cannot cross over hazardous terrain....unlike the transformers who can. BTW, what in the name of god is that yellow crystallish thing :o I see that the nexus and refinery are unchanged. I can also see that we now know what the probes look like.

19) I see! so that helicopter thing is indeed the new air attacker for the terrans!...but what are those yellow things? are they marines or what?

Except they aren't a backwater colonial race anymore. I'm sure that most minor colonial worlds on the fringes are gone, plus with the Dominion and later the UED stepping up military efforts, it makes sense for them to be finally moving forward. Terrans have stepped up to the plate, they aren't the backwater race they once were.

At least, thats how I see it (and honestly, that what I expect).

Would be cool to see them utilizing reverse engineered protoss technology (cybernetics and robotics, anyone?)

You got a point there about the colonial thing. I don't think they should use toss tech though, then they would get abilities that are sorta... the same. :P

I've been curious about whether they could develop psi disruptor technology into a portable weapon; in addition to rendering affected Zerg units uncontrollable for a duration it could also have been modified to cause Protoss to lose weapon and shield power as well as energy.

That Planetary Fortress turret appears to have rapid-fire burst lasers, but it may have more than one weapon.

So Shakuras/Twilight does have light blue water after all.

And that Vulture-looking vehicle with a turret is a Cobra. For some reason when looking at a screenshot with it previously the name "Viper" came to mind. Hmm...
