Gameplay Videos and Mar Sara

Zerg (FP) vs. Protoss


These guys aren't exactly candidates for SK Telecom but the videos showcase gameplay like no other and without the constant shakiness of the camera. The Zerg interface is reminiscent to the old interface and it looks fantastic in its new graphics engine. As I observed the beautiful graphics and interface, noting the new models and units, I saw something very odd... barely ever witnessed in the ten years before... it was... THE QUEEN! Yes the Queen is being used and it is a low tier unit and walking instead of flying! It also built some static defenses, which fended off the Zealot attackers. Other than that, the Zerg player didn't really want to leave his base and was.. well... absent from the game.

Protoss (FP) vs. Zerg


Ah, we get to see the mighty Protoss played in first person. Again the interface looks the same as in StarCraft but in the new 3D engine and looking great of course. The Protoss player opts for a two gateway rush, pumping zealots and rallying them to the Zerg base (something Zergs saw a lot of on iccup, am I right?). The Zerg never stood a chance against the omnipotent Protoss forces; should have learned his place on iccup.


Also, StarCraft2.com was updated with a new planet: Mar Sara.
