Single Player Challenge Missions; Ultralisk Might Have Frenzy

​

As everyone (including StarCraft2Forum.org) gears up for next week's launch, some great feature updates can get lost in the bustle. So here's some updates on some of the tasty tidbits that have come in this week in anticipation of the looming launch.

First up we have the culmination of the "Dominion" propaganda site which resulted in the release of a fantastic, hair-raising trailer for the upcoming release entitled Ghosts of the Past. It's phenomenal. Make sure you check it out.

Also, the Dominion Propaganda contest is open to community voting on submissions to determine the winners. Don't miss out on this, there is desktop wallpaper material for years (check our images to grab some of our favorites since it's not easily downloadable from Blizzard's site).

Lastly, there are two articles on the new StarCraft Community site of some note. First is Dustin Browder's closing interview regarding the beta. He discusses an interesting change that seems to suggest the Ultralisk will have an ability called "Frenzy" which was eliminated in one of the later beta patches. Now it's an ability instead of being cast by the Infestor. Second is a preview of some of the single player missions which apparently include trial-and-error micro scenarios in which a player must utilize his units properly to pass the scenario. Good stuff.

Here's that trailer we were telling you about, as well as some of our favorites from the propaganda contest:

Wonder who's that girl Raynor's kissing.

 

The scientist from that planet where Raynor's Raiders rescue everyone. She's the head colonist or whatever. Dr. Jane-something. Can't remember.

 

Yea but Ultra's had perma-frenzy throughout beta 2. So that isn't something that most people haven't already noticed!!

 

Hmm, it seems like the SC2 info for the Ultralisk is a bit outdated.

It says it has frenzy now under abilities, yet under ZvZ it says a good counter for ultralisks is Infestors using Neural Parasite.
