would be cool if they removed some of the brightness and shininess of most of the units/buildings and map. As many people said before, Starcraft is more of a dark/Dusty and beaten world.

im agreed with you.

since 1st time i see the new tanks i said ewww they look ugly the cannon IMO should be larger and the way the wheels become legs its also ugly looks like a Lego 6yo game.

Marines with shields ? lol also sucks wtf are those are knifes for, good luck stabbing a hydra/zealot.

i loved the way they made metal textures on BW the metal effect on battle cruisers damn looked good even on shuttles and dropships.

but in this sc all looks like plastic blunt borders/corners those effects look awesome on protoss but not on terrans/zergs.

IMO ill play SC2 campaign even if it sucks, but i wont play multilayer if it sucks.


please dont do what u did on wc3 i hate it, only thing worth playing on wc3 its dota.

i can agree that graphics in sc2 are weird, looks like warcraft 3 improved and heavily influenced unit look from some blockbuster movies.

but thats not 3d fault, just blizzard art sytle fault. its unrealistic to expect a game to be released in 2008 to be 2d. while the first generation of 3d rts games may be sux compared to 2d, 3d rts nwodays are superior. id expect from sc2 to be equal to sc1 in style of play but with new graphics

but honestly the new look of rines and tanks are different and worst than the BW ones


...in your opinion.

However, I'm sure the siege tank is getting a change after pretty much universal hatred.

I think the marine looks perfectly fine. Considering that the shield is probably made of a material at least as strong as their marine armor, how could a shield not be useful? If a marine can already take several hits from a zealot or zergling, how would a shield not improve their chances of survival?

on siege.. yes its would be nice if they change it.. not the style or the tank itself, but the texture.

rines would be fine if there will be use for the shield. cuz i like the idea of having them with shield like the footmen on wc3 but if its just there for display, thats not right..

if you saw those rines on the teaser video, you will see that those rines in line ,having the nuke on the background, doesn't have sheilds.

i think the shield marines seem to use in some screens is not a bad idea (and i dont think they are "primitive" , the only reason u.s. army doesnt use shields is because theres no zerglings in iraq)

btw what do u mean with that "not the style or the tank itself, but the texture" ?
i think u dont mean texture, maybe model ?

You guys still have to understand that Blizzard is still in PRE-INTERNAL STAGES - so really, you can't really go off everything by what you've just seen.

Take a good look at SC1 back before the beta - it was ugly as fuck too, and look what we ended up with. A masterpiece

#28 the lack of zerglings is not the only reason why us marines don't use shields in iraq, its just not possible to aim with only 1 hand... and these new marines are also holding a shield, it looks so ridicilious. its not like counter-strike or those dumbass hollywood movies. aiming with a rifle requires extreme concentration and the use of whole body (not only a single arm)

anyways you will see my point when you join the army unless you are a cripple or mentally disabled or both

#29 u are right, SC2 is still far away to coming out... but bynow we can make consideration on what we see by those first videos.

#23 i think in the same way, this "plastic" effect is good with protoss but not with Terrans and Zergs

And again i say the rines suck in sc2.
The Marine are one of the most "famous" unit of starcraft.
Honestly when i think of starcraft (not b.net) i think to terrans and to marines exspecially... and their new look is ugly and the riot shield is inappropiate.

The Marine with riot shield is an exemple of "Warcraft in Space"
so will we have "futuristic footmans" vs Protoss who use psionic powers with advanced tecnology and vs Zerg who are giant and swarming alien insect???

blizzard if you would make marines more resistent, plz reput the medics in the terran's army, not make pathetic shield like medieval footman....

1. I've seen marines shoot in those cinematics between singleplayer missions and i didnt see them aim (or at least i remember so - but i may remember wrong)
2. I've never seen a realistic game, and starcraft is definitely not a realistic game
3. what comes to army - hmm - i would say ima pacifist, but im still goin to army cause if i wasnt id have to go to a dark and dirty prison :P
i know only 2 kinds of people who join army for free will: people who need money, cant get any other job etc... and the worse group: retards

But isn't this science FICTION! Don't the marine have power suits? Doesn't sound unreasonable to be able to fire with one hand. Also, depending on how the shield is worn, it can still be possible to fire with two hands.

why don't they just make another unit that uses shield and, idk, flamethrower. you don't really have to aim with flamethrower. but rines with shields and rifles, cmon... it can't be more ridiculous than it already is

Some people like more fiction than science, and they have warhammer 40K with its jumppacks, daemons, Inquisitors and Chaos magic. But starcraft always appeared to be based more on science than fiction. Thats why i don't like reapers, troops like this wont work well on battlefield. The same about marineswith shields, they are out of use in modern combat since... 400 years or so? (exeption: police, but they use them after a football match, not in military operations)

About shiny terran buildings and other "cartoon" objects: i think its because Blizzard team haven't made the best use of technology they have, i mean normal mapping for example. I see a lot of objects that could look better if there would be some scratches and dirtadded. Also changing how metallic surfaces are reflecting light wont be a big problem, so it looks like blizz want to keep it look like plastic. I hope they will do something with it.

Why wouldn't Reapers work on the battlefield. If Reapers were added right now to BW they would be a vast improvement to the Terran arsenal. It seems like a rather logical addition to the Terran army in the Starcraft universe.

Also, yes, in todays military operations shield wouldn't be very useful since almost everything is long ranged. Protoss and Zerg however, have several melee based units and a shield seems like a reasonable response to this.

#34 no its more on fiction.. tell me.. those siege tanks canons are aiming in the sky. then to a person who doesn't know starcraft but knows fiction will make a conclusion that those tanks can attack air.. its also the same with the psi storm of HTs..

#29 yeah its still in its "alpha" or "beta" days. that is why we are here the consumers of their product to comment on those things some people wouldn't like. im not saying that all of us agree that the zerglings are like insects pr whatever but some of us have comments in which blizzard can take and make their product a little more eye friendly. for example, i like ragnarok online but when wow came, i liked it more than ragnarok online. get my point?

#36 no, the reapers will work. if thats your opinion, then the the scouts, wraiths, and goliaths would fire missiles on air. i mean, its there to put up the balance. like in RA2 where rocketeers are rather good in killing air units. its for balance issue i guess.

they made this game 3d so that it would have a 21st century look and to surpass the 20th century look. if thats the real case about making it 3d, it would be nice if the make the units look more good..
