    That isn't a Nydus Warren, as that is way to small to be that, it rsembles an Infestor and you can see it has legs.

    Here is a Nydus Warren:

    im looking at it and to me it doesnt seem to have legs, imho it looks more like a building than anything else, and it could be the Nydus Warren, they are always messing around with models. doesnt matter much to me, weather it be a building or a unit it still look very zergish to me.

    *cough*

    The green spidery-like building on the top left is the new art for the Baneling Nest, the prerequisite building to morph Zerglings into Banelings. The new art in the middle is the Infestor Pit, which allows Infestors to be built. Infestor upgrades are also available at that building.

    As you can see, the Terran Jackals no longer have a single front wheel tire, but instead have two, giving it more of a 'buggy-like' feel.

    well that settles it. tho im not sure what to think of the Banelings Nest, still looks like a unit rather than a building.

    I don't know why they're so tight fisted with screenshots. It's not like they can spoil anything, it just gives the community something to talk about... they need to look after the community more.

    Very strange. I would never have thought they were buildings.

    kuvasz: I second that.

    They both look too much like units than structures. I don't really like that, especially the Baneling Nest.

    The Baneling Nest doesn't look attached to the creep, at all. Looks like it could walk around.

    Creep looks flat now and dark. Should be purple and bubbly. Not ultra-violet (its a pun) but this seems too dark.

    That crab looking building deff looks like a unit. I'm disappointed that its not some big ground based guardian.
    No new lurkers in the pic? Damnit, how long ago were we promised that one?

    I don't like these new Zerg looks much at all.

    well we already had a look at a Banelings nest before they changed it, but the Infestor Pit is a new one, before some peeps guessed(not me tho, i just wait and see) that the Infestor could be built after you had the Nydus Warren. as for looks im fine with the Infestor Pit, but i agree that they could change the Banelings Nest again to something more fitting.

    Hell its about time someone correted all those conspiracies LOL, i definitely like the jackal fire stream better than a "could've been gattiling gun strike conspiracy" whew close calls.. And I knew that those Infestor models posted on you tube before was for real.. some one told me that they were just fan arts lol HaH!! thats a slap to your face, whoever you are mr. doubtful hahahaha... -oops sorry i was wrong here coz the ones puking on the right bottom corner where actually roaches, so the video ive seen was technically a new roach model..

    Anyway that crabby like creature in the middle is probably the new lurker as it doesnt portray much of an infesterish appearance... psionicz created a forum about that so ill discuss more of it there ^_^.. anyway that makes sense coz the luker in broodwars was kinda lacking in facts on how would they actually attack underground considering their very small size...btw i still find it hard to identify that blue orb explosion besides the marines as we can see that there were no near vehicles within range..

    no, the infester building should be a zerg unit. that is exactly what im talking about zerg needing more monstrosity. hydralisk and zergling and mutualisk everywhere is just plain boring to look at. =\

    I think that is the concussion from a marauder's grenade, and if it is the size of it indicates a return to AoE, or its just there to look sexy

    I really don't like the Infestor pit and a baneling nest...
    They look like units, and the infestor pit looks as it isn't attached to creep at all. :(

    I think they will try it out as a unit. They just wanted our speculation on it and how certain people will think which unit it could be.

    yeah makes sense, try out 2 units with an immense ugliness for the win ^_^ but thats just my opinion though and ugly has no place to be called for the zerg as all of them doesnt need vagueness as terrans do...
