I hope they change the Terrans a bit, they were the cheap noob's first choice; shitty camping with bunkers/tanks, and then nukes.

Maybe not, though, I hope they don't change it, it was always fun to play against that type of player and then blowing their shit strategy up in a few well thought moves.

This is the second time today! What's wrong?!

Admins, shut down Saturn's account; someone has hacked it and is using it to write long(er) posts!

You can select a huge amount of troops this time around. probably as
many as you want, they show it in one of the youtube vids. He selects
some units, but the unit selected screen is barely filled. 500 firebats coming up.

Yeah, noobs always thought they were safe...while using terrans...muahaha...how wrong they were. Of course in good hands the terrans are real motherfuckers. As said with noobs their tactics went to hell the first time you actually did something clever

I rather liked the terrans being what they were. Same sort of attitude you would expect from humans in such territories.

Regardless, zergling rush is the ultimate newbie strategy. A horrible and simplified way to swarm the enemy. No tactics, just rapid building and upgrading. :bastards:

My friends hated me, because I always went after their drones. Nothing fucks the gameplay more than nuked-fried-drones. Specially in times when you first cause them somewhat large amounts of damage that they spend their money on...

muahahahah!

The cutscene is here.

It is the entirety of it. She says "the earth born directorate has been destroyed" refering to the UED, that is the only proof of your claims but from the content of the video it is clear that she is speaking of their operations in her space not of the fleet itself. The last scenes of Brood war shows the UED fleet floating peacefully through space on its way back to Earth.

It was NOT detroyed just sent home to Earth, the UED ground ops and the likes are what you see destroyed.

The last scenes of Brood War show an assload of scourges flying towards the fleeing UED fleet, actually. It's pretty clear that the whole mess gets destroyed.

I like the graphics. Gamespot says no fucking about with lame hero units (a la WC3).

Protoss look very overpowered.

They didn't really show the zerg that much or much of the terran for that matter. Looked like it was focused just ont the Protoss.

If you can't stop a zergling rush you're a fucking moron. If there is zerg in the game with you assume it's coming. Quit crying and learn to accept that shit happens. That's like bitching about terrans massing BCs.

no one complains about BCs, they are easy to stop

Terrans are the hardest race to play, by and large. lots of micro involved.

Yes, but it is said that the UED fleet featured in BW was expeditionary. i'm pretty sure the Earth has quite a few colonies in her galaxy, and there is enough resources for another expedition. So anything could happen, really.

Heh, I win the pool with those bastards I call friends. Fucking WoW junkies get to eat all the crow I can dish up now. Worlds of Starcraft my ass.

As for this business with there being a Starcraft II, well, I can't say as though I wasn't expecting it, I just wasn't sure I'd live to see it.

Personally I like what I've seen so far... I'm glad that they seem to be taking a lot of care to make the new units balanced, and it looks as though there won't be much of a wait until release.

I will echo the concern though that it could easily turn into a big game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

And to echo another sentiment: Anybody who can't stop Zergling Rushes is a tit and deserves the loss.
