What’s New With the Zerg in Starcraft II?

Starcraft was probably one of the most popular RTS’s ever made. Even now, almost a decade after its release, people the world over are still playing it (especially in Korea, where it’s pretty much a sport all its own). How could anyone ever top something like that? I don’t know, but Blizzard’s certainly up to the task. In this video, lead producer, Chris Sigaty, explains how the Zerg have evolved in the upcoming sequel. One thing that’s sure to cause screams of anguish from your rivals is that all of the Zerg units can now burrow. Also, the queen has now been changed to a central defensive unit that can essentially add buffs to your units and buildings. It already looks like gamers everywhere are going to have to come up with new strategies for this one.

The guy being interviewed has such lustrous hair… looked like he was CG since it was so shiny & not a single hair out of place… lol
“probably” “one of” the most popular? Come on mate, go out on a limb.
Undoubtedly, the MOST popular. Ever.
I think this requires more salt.
Wow that looks awesome, seriously.
wriXeL says: “i’m glad they fixed the Queen… she was pretty useless in BW.”
What do you mean the queen is pretty useless in BW? Do you even know how to use the queen? Guess not.
I’m with GG, da queen useless??? c’mon!!
Cant imagine a huge number or ultralisks burrowed… guess they will make really huge holes.
Is it me, or do all these updates normally get done in any other game’s routine patches? After 15 years, I expect something a bit beyond “Hey, let’s use that burrowing thing we put in the first one, but for everybody!”
I wish Blizzard would quit plagiarizing Dawn of War and come up with something creative for a second. (And don’t tell me Dawn of War copied Starcraft, because Starcraft originally stole all their ideas from Warhammer 40K.)
SC > warhammer.
