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.

That was sick!!

I can't wait to see the rest of the Zerg. :p and the game of course.

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

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
