Here's the Terran tech tree. The Command Centre can turn into a Planetary Fortress or a full fledged Surveillance Station. Also, SCVs can build a gigantic unit called Thor. It's slow at turning but extremely powerful. There's more -- the Starport can now turn into a Starbase which is basically a mobile mega Starport. It's noticeably larger than a Battlecruiser. Check out the following links for interesting information over @ gamespot.com: StarCraft II Campaign Demo, StarCraft II Initial Hands-On Impressions, StarCraft II Hands-On -- The Terrans

Yikes, it's been awhile since anyone posted in this thread. Anyway the official site has been updated. The Carrier and Observer are back. The Terran's get a new unit called the Nomad. Also, there's a new feature on the website titled "THE STORY SO FAR... PART 1: STARCRAFT". Click here to read it. "PART 2: THE BROODWAR" will be coming soon.

Be sure to check out the BlizzCon07 Walkthrough videos at Gametrailers.com.

I read the Terran section today... cool stuff indeed!

btw, is it worth playing the SP mode on SC? I usually find that stuff kinda boring though... only play it for the awesome movies that Blizzard make.

In my opinion, I think it's worth it. Then again I beat the single player campaign back in 2001. The game may seem boring but if you give it a chance, it could become quite an amazing experience. I warn you, you'll need the patience of a Tibetan monk in some levels.

First Look at StarCraft II Zerg

This new StarCraft II trailer that just debuted in Korea gives a first look at the Zerg alien race. Great looking trailer! Just checked the news, and no, South Korea hasn't imploded. Yet.

The Zerg swarm is just... oh my god. :o

EDIT: Also, the Zerg page at StarCraft2.com has been updated. Click here to see it. From what I can tell, they've added the Hydralisk and Mutalisk.

Starcraft was my favorite game back in the days. it was also the first game I played on a PC that showed nice graphics (I had only played Duke Nukem 3D). I always wondered what's taking so long for a sequel. oh my, I can't wait to play this gem!

Sounds interesting but I think I'll skip this one though. The first one was quite fun but what killed it for me was I found it too hard (yeah I know, I suck :p) even on easy I'd die without fail in the first 5 mins of the game (the endless rushes is what did it) and on the extremely rare occasion I'd survive that, I'd eventually get wiped out by an ever bigger rush :wacko: One can only take so much defeat, before one gives up. I suspect StarCraft 2 will be more of the same with prettier graphics :/ great game but unless your really good at it, it causes endless frustration :p

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
