Starcraft 2 Armory - Unofficial Starcraft 2 Fansite

Im a bit late on updating with this, but better late then never! We now have 13 new screenshots, 3 of which are the new racial tech-trees. Alongside the new screenshots, we have an 8 min b-roll video of new Starcraft 2 gameplay, so check it out! And lastly, check out all the new Zerg renders.

The Zerg buildings look darker than before, and more realistic. Blizzard is responding to complaints that buildings look too much like Warcraft, in my opinion.

Best Screenshot EVER

Try telling me the old Nomad/Vulkan model wouldnt look EPIC in this greyish color scheme among this terran air armada

screen shot/video observations:

- improved sound effects
- the thor fires missiles from its torso, or specifically, through these cannon shaped protrusions (I always wondered what they were for)
- the brood lord has multiple broodlings floating along side it
- the brood lord can fire multiple broodlings at once
- the broodlings look like mini broodlords with legs
- brood lords fly like manta rays
- the colossus fires both of its lasers
- psi storm has a wider range
- an electrical column arises from psi storm to attack air units
- the scythes on the ultralisk look sick
- phoenix lasers look better
- phoenix itself tilts on its axis when turning
- phoenixes seem to drift when turning
- phoenix moves super fast
- worm hole thing looks awesome
- immortal lasers now have impact animation
- void ray rotates when firing
- yamato cannon looks formidable
- viking air mode looks nice
- graviton beam looks cool
- spine crawlers look deadly
- corrupted units turn into small floating blobs
- corrupted units fire these homing zerg missiles.
- lurker head not so disproportionate
- lurker hides its true, smaller head under its giant crest if you look closely. It is much more reminiscent of its profile picture.

@ Illidan Stormrage: that grey(white?) color scheme is now my favorite. Also, the terran fleet looks pretty *****en over the water.

The corruptors remind me of the sentinel machines from "The Matrix."

-Looks like the torso cannons will be the standard gta while the back cannons will be the notorious ability
-collossus back to dual beams is great
-looks like this is there way of making the 3rd effect instead of cluttering both air and ground vision with bolts (and it's a nice idea i have to say)
-EPIC
-Yea, but what's with the Voidish color scheme of the pheonix...or is that simply and indication it is sort of channeling and cant do anything else???
-Amazing attack

I originally intended to go purplr in sc2 but now I know better...GREY/WHITE ALL THE WAY for terrans
Blue...Give me back mu vulkan/nimad model, it fits the color so perfectly...also mules should come in that color too

I assume you can choose what color you want to play as, as opposed to the randomness of SC?

that would be pretty cool.

@Illidan Stormrage: the dark color on the phoenix most definitely means that its channeling its ability. Looks a lot different from when we last saw it in BR 3.

also, at least you can still use the nomad model from the map editor. Its better than nothing...

I lol'ed at 2:13 when that second last buggy tried to escape, but was caught by that spine crawler XD

I know I might seem a bit nit picky about the Protoss Tech-Tree, but shouldn't the Warpgate be next to it as well? Also, are the tech-trees screen-shots?

Well the tech-tree doesn't list upgrades and the warpgate is really an upgrade rather than a new building so that's probably why they don't show it.

Did my eyes fail me, or did I see the Phoenixes attack ground units?

These are screenshots from in game. You can view your races tech-trees as well as detailed unit information.

watch the video again. The only protoss air units attacking the remaining ground units were the the void rays. Also the mothership.

anyways... sooo ummm... How does everyone feel about the Brood lord being evolved from the Corruptor instead of the Mutaslisk?

The current evolution chamber doesn't resemble the previous one at all, but looks way more like a zerg building. Good job Blizzard!
