Starcraft 2 units revealed!

The much awaited Starcraft 2 from Blizzard has finally been announced earlier this week. As always, Blizzard did not go in the specifics about the official release date of Starcraft 2 but they did release some details about new Starcraft 2 units. Go see the new Starcrat 2 protoss units at Blizzard’s official site. You’ll find the classic Zealot as well as Protoss Immortal (the new Dragoons), the Stalker and the Phase Prism. Wow.

You can also find Starcraft 2 trailer videos and gameplay shots at GameTrailers. Go to the official Starcraft 2 site for lots more.

My 2 cents ? The Starcraft 2 gameplay looks a lot to me like the first Starcraft : lots of units, siege tanks, high-tech etc. That’s exactly what I loved about SC1 and feared they would cut in favor of a more Warcraft 3-like setting. The Starcraft 2 races are going to stay to same also : Terran, Protoss and Zerg. The biggest difference right now seems to be the graphics in SC2. The 3-D graphics in Starcraft 2 look incredible and the interaction with the environment will be greatly improved. You can bet on Battle.net being overhauled for the occasion as well for improved Starcrat 2 clan options, tournaments and more.

Will Starcraft 2 be a winner? It sure as some enormous shoes to fill and lots of competition to face but… you know you want it.
