    Looks promising. But if Battlecrusers are that strong ....man it fly over the zerg base and roosted so many zerglins...
    Also looks like there will be medics but what kind of Giant zelots were those? They acted like collosus.

    The battlecruiser scene was just a singleplayer cutscene so they have to make the Hyperion 10x more powerful. I love the bit where it toasted like 15 marines fighting the nydus worm and then asked if there were any survivors xD. The medics will only be in the singleplayer. The giant zealots in both art and mechanics reminded me alot of the WC3 Frozen Throne Naga bit....still looked awesome!

    The atmosphere is amazing. I loved the big crane in the beginning of the video. And the lava.

    Maybe those giant Zealot status are what Colossi looked like when they were originally used, with modern warfare requiring more speed and less intimidation power.

    I noticed that Supply Depots leave a "hole" as part of their debris. I was wondering when they'd do that, as it is a subterranean building, after all.

    One of the screenshots has these huge transports. I hope we get to use them in the campaign.

    Purely amazing, i hope the large crane will be available in the map editor, it would be epic. The missions looks well fun.

    Notice the large transport unit at the first screenshot.

    EDIT: i just notice something, while watching the video up to the lava mission, look at the mission objectives on the top left side of the screen and you see the following: 'Bonus Objective: Kill the Brutalisk' :D

    Great, watched/read the whole in one go. Just fantastic new info.
    Blizzard's excuse on lan was just a bit lol though!?
    DOS = LAN, and bashing DOS as being unimportant, and just a foodnote.

    "And we don't have 50 or 60 missions; each one of these missions is about a 3 or 4 month endeavor for us to build. Each one of these is much more complicated than a single quest for WoW"

    Sounds good.

    Oh wow, the art for this is incredible! im really starting to hope i get to play a mission at blizzcon :p

    my breath was taken away when i saw the lab pic, it looks so polished and amazing it was incredible!!

    And Im gonna say that the Statue Zealots were a old protoss trap using the same design as the Colossus but to make it more trappy? lol

    C'mon guise, Blizzard just re-used the Colossus attack since the statues were about the same height, that's all. They have nothing to do with Colossi.

    It's really neat to hear Jim's voice back in action.

    Tychus still looks like a badass.

    Matt is just going to be known for miraculous saves.

    And who's that woman? Maybe a character introduced from one of the colonies from like... the Sara system?

    And did anybody else notice that sort of warp noise? Are those the sounds of Medics healing?

    The lava rising. That looked insanely awesome.

    I knew it the second I saw the statues... so there's going to be like... "boss" fights?

    I just hope that 30 missions with same race won't be boring. Maybe there will be sub factions so it wouldn't be just plain terran?

    Blizz mentioned they are still planning to put a mini campaign in for protoss for a bit of variety

    Why shouldn't it have something to do with the Colossus? It is known that the Colossus is based on ancient Protoss technologies, and these artifacts have been defended by the Protoss, possibly for a long time. Blizzard could very easily have made a completely new weapon for the statues (they say that the system they use for weapon effects is extremely flexible) but they instead chose to make it the exact same attack as the Colossus- they didn't even bother to use an older version of the attack, to make it less obvious.

    Rojo:
    The sound was the Medic's healing sound.

    I suspect the woman is Dr. Ariel Hanson from the colony Agria. [source]

    I can't wait for beta to be released so I can play all this for my self. I loved the video and the article was a good read I can't wait for blizzcon to come around so we can get more information like this.

    I don't like how sometimes the conversation between 2 heroes has this long pause for the screen to load up. Maybe there could be multiple screens at a time, to reduce the pause.
