Looks like the same vid that corinthian posted, just better quality. It's a vid, instead of a vid of a vid.

Ack. I posted the wrong one. The one I meant to post is 20 minutes long. Hold on.

*squeee* Looks like they've really stuck to the original star craft concept, and just improved it, a lot, from that demo.

It looks like they've solved a lot of the clunky parts SC1 and BW had as well, giving various ground units the ability to transverse cliffs. In addition to an obviously improved pathfinding AI.

From the other units shown they've kept, and even improved on the strategy rock-paper-scissors part of the game I love too. The announcer keeps mentioning 'skilled players' over and over,which is what I loved so much about the first, some random kiddy throwing the same mass of units (or even an obviously superiors 1v1 mass of units) at a veteran will lose, because the veteran will micromanage to his advantage. not just Rock beats scissors, but scissors beats rock if you do this, that, and this followed by this. wub.gif

I can't wait.

except for the Zerg Rush...

God how I loathed the Zerg Rushers... not that I don't know how to execute one... it just makes everything so boring... that's why me and my friends used to play 10 min after games... 10 minutes of building... enough time to build at least a secondary base... enough time to assure your climb on the tech tree.. enough time to create a TON of Zergs...

It's better when the enemy can actually fight back your Zergling Horde of Doom and not just SCVing their way to destruction

I can't muster any kind of enthusiasm for any computer game that isn't Spore. losewings.gif

The cinematic trailer is just gorgeous. Kerrigan looks interesting, too.

Of course, Tabula Rasa, being a Lord British production, will have me drooling too.

Seconded!

As for Starcraft II, didn't you hear about the Zerglings? They're going to be replaced by a new unit, Rushlings. They move faster, hatch 4 from one egg, have only 15 HP but deal 20 in each strike.

Also, the Zerg will have a new multiplayer-only upgrade in their Hatchery - reveals the starting location of every player. Costs 25 minerals/player, no gas

that's incredibly overpowered blink.gif


and I totally fell for it XD

Actually the starting location revealing is an ability in AoM, Oranos gets it. So that's not to far of a stretch, but yes, cuber’s totally bs'ing you. tongue.gif

:x If Korea makes a separate league for both Brood War and Starcraft 2, that means there will be twice as many matches on TV which means there will be twice as much stuff for me to watch! Yay!
