from the interview with samwise didier (http://sc.gosugamers.net/news/8104):
"It's the same as the wings on the Zerglings, some loved it some did not. Now it's removed."
so i think the wings will be gone soon, if not already.

can you rotate the buildings ? ... like when you select where to build them, can you also decide which direction should the door of it be ?

What about infest ability did you try it out ?
which buildings did you infest and which ones (if any) didn't work ?
also the new infested terran shoots like a marine and somewhere it was written that it is slow ... doesn't that cripple the swarming aggressive feel of the zerg ?

I was going to ask about the terran banshee and viking.

How good have they actually turned out to be for each matchup?

In theory, at least as I saw it several months ago, TvT should degenerate into banshee, tank, turret, viking vs banshee, tank, turret, viking. Obviously depending on map.

Do you had fun to play SC2?
- I haven't had this fun playing a computer game for years. It has everything StarCraft 1 had and a lot more. Pure joy.

Is it a noob-friendly game ? ( easy to master )
- I would say it is up to par with StarCraft 1. Easy to learn, but a lifetime to master.

Did you test the game at the fastest speed? Is it fast enough like SC1?
- I played in two speed modes: normal and faster. I saw some Blizzard developers playing on Fastest as well. The speed feels just as fast as in SC1, and when playing Fastest it actually felt even more fast.

I believe that , so far, we haven't a chance to see a psi storm in battle - eiher on some videos nor at screenshots. Have u seen this might of templars in action?
- Yes, I have. The High Templar's Psi Storm was a bit disappointing, as it looked more like you simply placed an electronic field over some units. I think they could work a lot on the animation and design for the Psi Storm. But on the other hand, having it as clean and easy as possible removes all the whine on it being "cartoony, splashy and too colorful".

Zerg seem really vulnerable to zealot attack now that there are no sunken colonies. How can Zerg stop the zealots?
- Well, the Zerg still have the Queen who might not be much of an attacker in the beginning, but her Swarm Clutches work as a static base defense, plus you can tech up quite fast to Roaches which can handle Zealots quite well. I would say that Zerg is actually harder to rush than before.

I am off to grab the plane back to Sweden now, I don't have time to answer any more questions for now. I will try to answer as many as I can when I come back. : )

My guess is that it's like in WC3, that the units pop out in the direction the rally point is set to. Ie, if your rally point is north of your building units will pop-out on the north side. I don't know for sure obviously.

Starcraft 2 is now 3D. Did you feel any lag whatsoever? Do you think if this game was to play on a slow computer, do you think it will handle SC2?
