    But it wasn't a slug beast, it was a caterpillar robot (which reminds the Caterpillar brand machines). The Carrier also looks like a Hive spawning bees.

    Indeed. 8) That asteroid fighter pwns asteroids like they are babies! Babies with an aimless desire to get in your motherf*cking way!

    What is this reaver you speak of? If it is not in StarCraft 2, then it does not exist! :-X

    What are you guys doing? Going down the evolutionary chain? Stop! We are going nowhere with this!

    The Terran Predator looks very aggressive and I wonder how it will work in Intercept mode.

    At least you don't need that many Predators then. I see them as a defensive unit that would work better in enemy base infiltration. Put them and Vikings together, and Island games are no longer the Turret-terror they were: Predators halt the incoming missiles until the Vikings get there and land.

    Don't think it's strategy concept is a ripoff of anything we've seen so far. Even if we can compare it's looks to other things...

    in one of the cut scenes in brood war there is a ghost that looks exactly like the foot soldier from starship troopers, the guy with the huge teeth and yellow flattop.

    That was on purpose. The game was inspried by Aliens and thr Starship Toopers book. Since the movie and SC have a common background they are bound to look similar.
