Weird Starcraft screens

Just something that hit me... in the batch of screens just released yesterday, the ground textures are way lower quality then the rest. Units, buildings, everything looks amazing... and then you have that somewhat low detail ground :confused:

A good example is this one:

Everything is finely detailed but the cracks and bumps on the ground are not.

I trust this will be on par with the rest until release but I found it odd since Diablo III screenshots never had this "problem".

Yeah, when you have nothing better Starcraft to talk about, you notice stupid stuff :D

I don't really notice it, if there is a thing to notice in the first place.

I can see the slight 'blur' on the flooring but it doesn't bother me too much, maybe If i had a side by side comparison ^^

It could be that the settings in the screenshot weren't set at the best...

Chimes in: still in beta~

Yeah, I'm sure they'll have higher resolution textures available in the final product. But they'll also have lower resolution settings as well for those not running top of the line computers.

Well i think its to make units stand out more if the floor was as bright and detailed units would be hard to see

I think it's just a texture that wasn't meant to be super detailed, because if you look at the grass texture below the platform, it's even more detailed...

I'm less interested in the concrete than in what the heck are those ships, they look kinda cool, also note the vehicle and civilians(?) at the bottom of the screen, and the fact that they've got Medics and Firebats in. That has got to be a campaign map.
