If they're starting to build hype now, I think it indicates rather strongly we may see it this year :) Quote: Returning units for the alien race include: * Overlord * Zergling * Hydralisk * Mutalisk * Ultralisk * Infested Terran * Queen In addition to these confirmed returns, numerous new units were revealed. Roaches are a new low-power, fast moving starting unit. Infestors take the place of the original game's Defilers, using the same Dark Swarm special ability as well as new Disease and Infestation abilities. The Corruptor is a new anti-air unit that doesn't actually attack flying baddies, but "corrupts" them, forcing them to fight each other. The Guardian has upgraded into the Swarm Guardian, maintaining its strength against ground units while gaining the ability to hatch Broodlings. Along with the new units, Blizzard debuted what seems to be a new type of creep that some early reports are calling "Toxic Creep." Not much information is known yet about how this creep is created (possibly via Zerg Queens) or what its effects are, but we're guessing it's not good for Terran or Protoss land units standing on it.

うるさい!!! Posts: 4,511 Group: Moderators Member #53 Joined: February 19, 2005	Hmm, one thing I'm worried about is how rock-paper-scissors that vid presented those units as. I know blizzard have said that isnt going to be how it works, but hell, the video wasnt very reassuring. other than that, great video. really love the sense of unique styles they're adding to each race

The key is making sure they're balanced (or in some cases, imbalanced) correctly. Also, you know how these hard core gamers break the "rules" of the game :D The game is in alpha or even pre alpha at the moment apparently, so there's still a stack of tweaking to be done. Anywho, Protoss' turn this time. This one... uh... it's... well... 20 mins :blink: [dohtml]<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="392"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=31803"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=31803" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="392"></embed> </object>[/dohtml]

As soon as the battle at the end happened I was like "wait, I've seen this before...". Pretty sure it was used as part of the SC2 reveal last year. I hadn't seen the first 15 or so minutes though. Wonder why GT only just got it?
