Terran base. With the WotLK trailer playing in the background. Shows the marauder in game, which looks very nice.

Marauders look great. I cant wait to get my hands on the game.

Is it just me or is that Terran player really bad?
I'm assuming the Zerg player was a computer, haha.
Looks awesome, though.

What was that building with the hologram on it that the Terran player built towards the end?

The Merc Haven??
It's suppose to train reapers (http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Merc_haven).

Huh, I was pretty sure that it was just a tech requirement in the tech trees from WWI, that hiring system sounds silly.

Indeed. Currently it only unlocks tech for Reapers, and I beleive, Ghosts. (Iffy on the Ghosts though)

Yeah the "hiring" was old. I think its tech now.

I really hate that you can zoom in and out. I hate hate hate it. I don't know why. Just don't like it. OKAY?

Remove it plox.

Also, what is that floating green spider thing the zerg have?

WHAT? You don't have to use it. But it lets you take cool screenshots of events in replays and stuff. Come on. :mad:

I really like that you can zoom in and out. I think its pretty neat.

It's the Baneling building. Can't think of the name, though. Baneling something.

Baneling nest, I believe.

one would think that it's a spawning pool..seeing as how banelings are made from zerglings... you don't make another building to make a hidra a lurker, you upgrade :D

You require the 'Deep Warren' to morph Hydralisks into Lurkers.

And yes, it is called a 'Baneling Nest', just for reference.

RADICAL.

Although yeah, the player was pretty bad in the game play footage. He kept attacking with weak attack forces. I can just image the new style UMS maps on StarCraft II.

EDIT: I have one concern, what the hell is up with the new 'Terran' building style now?

I kind of like it, actually. Its somewhat more realistic than one person in a small exosuit building huge buildings in incredibly short amounts of time. Zerg can fucking morph their DNA and grow, Protoss just warp in buildings, either from another location or, I dunno, out of energy, but Terrans... it just didnt make sense.

Now it does.

The new Terran building style is cool.
