^^^^ I see marines shooting. Looks nice with the light reflecting off their armor.
One ghost on his knee, looks like he's sniping (though with a gun that big, it would make more sense to go prone instead).
The other ghost is slacking off. tsk tsk
Is that an SCV? Looks like a hard push is taking place.
Oh, and the lings have wings. Yay~

Damn, that new ghost model is pretty damn great. Looks awesome both when shooting and when just standing around.

I love these new screenshots.
The Infestor is a beast, I love it. If they find some cool abilities for it that could be a real contender in the Zerg army.
The Zerg in general are looking better.
They finally got the Zerglings down, they look less like grasshoppers and more like the SC Ghost artwork - the wings are small, and torn up.
The Brood lord looks good, but it looks no different from a guardian, so I dont exactly know how you cant call it a guardian. The Creep tumor looks a little wierd, but its an improvement.
Terrans look pretty unchanged from last Blizzcon, so I think theyre pretty much done graphically. Same for Protoss, although I think the buildings can still be touched up. The units look great.
Beta is just around the corner now.

Woah, I was not expecting the Infestor to be that big. Freaking beautiful though.

Well, when it was called the "Swarm Guardian" it did 60 damage per shot. And since the changes from SG to Brood Lord are mostly visual (except the added Hp), I'm fairly sure it still does damage when it flings it's attack.

Screenshot 6
- I can't really get used to the Brood Lord models.. I wish that the Swarm Guardians were back tbh. I think that there's too many of the Zerg models that are using really similar designs, and the SG was originally a nice change from that.
- Relating the the earlier statement, the Broodlings look like tiny Blood Lords / Drones. I think they could be a bit more unique (the old ones were like little pterodactyls with stilt limbs).
- Why do the Mutalisks on the right look so weird? It's like they have clipped wings. Others in the screenshot look fine, but these ones must be at an odd angle or something.
Screenshot 4
- I like the Infestor model, but I think it could use a slight revision. They're REALLY big compared to the one with the 4 mouths. I think that it makes them slightly too similar to the Queen when seeing them side by side as seen at the top left.
Screenshot 5
- If that's the new building animation coming up out of the creep, I'm very impressed. They don't look like they're sitting on top of the creep anymore, it looks like they're actually growing from it.
Screenshot 3
- I think that the Ultralisk blades having the same color of the carapace makes them look blunt. Kinda like they're smacking the Thors with stump limbs.. I think that they should go back to the old more metallic color, at least along the edges.
