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

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
