One thing that’s sure to cause screams of anguish from your rivals is that all of the Zerg units can now burrow. Also, the queen has now been changed to a […]
Here’s some Zerg video clips I found from ThisIsGame.com demonstrating the Zerg in action! Check them out:
Personally the Zerg was my favorite race in the original Starcraft and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing some more Zerg!
The long awaited Zerg have been revealed over at the official Starcraft 2 site! Here’s some of the preliminary information: (thanks to Starcraft-Source.com)
Units:
Roaches
Very fast speed + high regeneration rate
Absorbs lot of damage so without focus fire on this unit, it won’t be easily killed
Overload:

Dustin Browder explained how the process of the Protoss Warp-in upgrade works:
You build Gateways.
You purchase the Warp-In upgrade on the Cybernetics Core.
You select your Gateways and transform them into Warpgates. This is extremely fast.
You may select your Warpgates and transform them back into Gateways (also fast) any time you want. You would mostly do this […]

Chat with Devs: For this batch, Ive been fortunate to snag some time with our Lead Writer for StarCraft II, Andy Chambers, and I had a chance to talk to him about what happens to Protoss warriors after they die. On the forums, there has been much speculation to what the true meaning of the […]
Yes, dreams can come true. With no official plans announced for a DS port of StarCraft or any of Blizzard’s other PC games, two French homebrew developers have begun working on bringing the popular RTS to the handheld themselves, titling the game StarLite.

It has been an exciting week of business related headlines about the new company ‘Activision Blizzard.’ Many have asked me about how this would affect products like StarCraft II, and the answer is that it won’t. We still have our extremely talented development team on this task, working exactly like they have been over the […]
Will the Banelings’ splash damage affect friendly units, like the Goblin Sappers of WarCraft III?
Karune: Currently, the Banelings’ attack does not harm friendly units, adding to their deadliness. This of course may be subject to change in the future to maintain balance.
What are the green explosions in the newly released shots?
Karune: If you are referring […]

In the first image, you can see a firefight between some infantry and some banshees. In the second, it looks like theres some sort of additional zerg ground unit, or perhaps it’s just the self destructive zerglings. Finally, in the last screenshot […]
