And play we did over six long, brutal (for Jeff, anyway) hours of real-time strategizing. The article on 1up talks about their first hand experience playing the game, I recommend the read.

Iron Man stole a scene from Starcraft 2
2008-05-03 00:00:00 Forever since the Starcraft has been out, pundits have pointed out various units and aspects of the game that Blizzard has borrowed or “stole” from other entities. Warhammer, Aliens, etc… the latest claim being that SC2 copied The War of the Worlds and Command & Conquer 3 I’ll get into that subject a little more later, but right now check out both these videos: Scene from the Starcraft 2 Cinematic The same scene from IRON MAN RON MAN RIPS OFF STARCRAFT 2!!! ... ok yes both scenes look similar, but really how many other ways could a high-tech, futuristic suite of armor be put on to a human? See what I’m getting at? The Warhammer guys claim Blizzard stole units from their table game. Space Marines - Terran Marines, Zerg - whatever the Warhammer guys call their Alien looking race Zerg look like Alien, Protoss look like Predators, Terrans(Meaning inhabitants of earth) look like Humans! omg… As an artist at least back when I ...

Zerg starcraft 2 ramp mechanic idea
2008-04-04 00:00:00 muemil of SC2Armory.com explains in a write-up and a comic a great solution that will match the Protoss Colussus and Terran Reaper abilities to bypass ramps. Zerg can use Drones to morph into slanted ramp buildings: Zerg Ramp idea QUOTE: “A quite low tech. A drone and a medium building cost gives you a ramp at any cliff. No creep needed, but a small amount of creep is created (for colonies and heal). If there is another ramp next to it, the two grow together. The ramp could be indestructible, if so, enemy units may also use the ramps.” MY COMMENT: I think the ramp should still be destructible, but if the enemies decide to use it, they must do it with effort by using the move command over it.

New Starcraft 2 unit - The Tauren Marine!
2008-04-01 00:00:00 Trains From: Mulgore Armament: 88mm Impala Gauss Rifle Role: Shock Troops Note the presence of another Azerothian genotype in this image, in this case a vicious aquatic species known as a Murlok. Whether this is some kind of mascot or an amphibious alien mercenary is unknown. In the old Confederacy, Terran marines were mostly criminals or rebels who had undergone mandatory neural resocialization. Freed from any previous allegiances or ideologies, these fearless soldiers stood ready to defend Confederate interests with their lives but exhibited an annoying tendency toward petty larceny, vandalism, and occasional cannibalism. Confederate authorities were unable to requisition enough reliable troopers in this way, and eventually recruiters turned to a new source of fresh meat for the grinder. The obscure planet of Azeroth was found to harbor a dizzying selection of humans, mutants, and aliens in a state of perpetual superstition and conflict. The most physical...
