It's an awesome game, and I can't be the only one anticipating it even this far from release. So for anyone else who cares here are some useful links

http://www.starcraft2forum.org/ - VERY good site, check the first post on the main page it has LOADS of new Terran media.

http://www.starcraft2.com/ - The official site, it's got a lot of Protoss media but nothing the fansites don't have. New update was the Twilight archon (Concept art in my avatar)

Now for superduper IMAGES

Like to share with you 'Thor' which is a Terran obviously high tier unit, I heard its not a super unit though, because terrans dont get super units... but according to some other news they're really changing up a lot of things before Blizzcon (No more soul hunter, not cool enough apparently lol)

Im not sure about the design, never though Starcraft was about big hulking robots, but then again, Korea... Anywho, this unit isn't built from a building its built by SCV

The sequel to any game which can still be popular 10 years after release deserves my money. And that goes double for SC2.

I've never played Starcraft, though it has always looked fun.

A Starcraft MMO would kick ass though. Perhaps thats what Blizzard is developing? Last I heard they were hiring for a new next-gen MMO, and it was specifically stated that it wasn't World of Warcraft, or an expansion.

This Thor guy looks really nice. I wonder if it can cope with a Protoss Mothership, though... And will be able, to have more than one at a time?

What I hope with this game most, is that they will not completly get rid of all the micro-managment between units. The AI certainly is better than the orignal SC's and some units seem to do their job pretty much without your help (like the new zealot's ability...) Plus, there is no limit to producing and selecting units, which probably means, that you just produce a whole lot of them and those them into the battle; especially the zerg, I'd imagine...

It's not a SuperUnit oddly enough like the Mothership... so yes... That just leaves the question: What is?

Here's some more, btw NOT scans... How do you post an image that doesn't minimize?

i agree but it will probably either be it, or something completely new.

I reckon it would be decent, but i hate p2p, dumbest thing ever.

Won't argue with a fanboy. I suggest you start a Killzone thread.

Hmm, I would be dissapointed, if the Zerg and/or Terran did not have a super unit like the Protoss.

I would think that is has something to do with the nature of the races. Protoss is all about smaller groups of hugely powerful units, I'm guessing that's what's represented in the mothership.

Starcraft 2, 2008, hell yes

They already said the Terrans won't be getting a super unit like the mothership, because that's not the strategies associated with the Terran Race. I'm sure they will have their own tactics that will work out wonderfully. My only concern is I don't see a standard Air and Ground attack unit like the Wraith. The Banshee can only attack ground it seems, which blows pretty hardcore. I hope there are more units to come.

What's wrong with p2p? I never understood people having problems with it.. I mean, if the PC is your main source of entertainment, like it is for me, why complain about paying for great games? No different than TV, except that it is way more interactive.

Well... thats what the game will look like... This is STARCRAFT remember?

They get the Viking, transforms into ground unit and attacks ground, transforms to air unit and attacks air... Kind of weird, and its subject to change, by , before or after Blizzcon... But I do hope they get a standard Wraith like unit.
