Nikasi -

But of course the “regular” sc2 campaign will end with a twist! It will be a plot device for the sc2 expansion to be released a year later (which, i’m sure is already in development)!

Well, they probably want some opening at the end of the stroy, so they can stcik in another game if they so wish…

In respond to #4, I dont think we will have this situation in the standard maps.

ground
—— (cliff)
water

The terrain behind the cliff is hidden only if it’s higher than the terrain where reapers stand. As usual we have water surface lower than ground level, so reapers can see water beneath the cliff. Only if we have a kind of high lake, like this ____|~~~~~|____ then Blizzard will have to build in an upgrade “swim suit” or something in that direction for reapers ^.^ But as I said, I take this high lake as irregular terrain and it will not exist in regular maps.

The new vespene gas mechanic is awesome. That really makes SCII different from SCI. I can’t agree more with THE BANANA REPUBLIC that this change takes SC as we knew from SC 1,5 to SC 2. I want a new game, but don’t want to lose the standard units from SCI. SCI and SCII do share the same Universe, there has to be standard units of both. And when we talk about the SC universe, I have to say I can’t wait to know what happens next. I have had enough from Q&A batches, new screenshots. Beautiful gameplay doesnt attract me anymore, but how the story goes. And I want to know how Blizzard ends it. It could hardly be an open end like WoW for WC III i think. So what is it?

About the corruptor description being incomplete, implying that the corruptors does not inflict damage:
What is said is that the corruption debuff does not do damage >over time<. They might still do damage on impact. Which means that they can kill things, like in the video.

Heh heh, then he TRANSFORMS into Aquatic Duel Pistol man!

Although I think you need to both see and issue a move to location, and I’m guessing you’ll be clicking on the water for a while before something happens.

Speaking of clicking, I hope the critters explode in sc2

The gas thing is kind of growing on me. From the explanation it seems to be becoming a more logical procedure.

The Zerg defensive buildings coming from drones again seems like a reluctant step back. I have a feeling the photon cannons will get their ‘energy mode’ back, or the moving building mechanic will be left to the Terrans. I wonder if they tried zerg defensive structures building from nothing but creep and nearby buildings or nearby queen? I guess then the question would be where is the build button…
