There's three new ones!
In this first screenshot Banelings, the apparent replacement for the Infested Terran, wreaking havoc upon a small Terran outpost. It also seems apparent that the Banelings attack will have a splash effect. The Banelings are backed-up by the classic Zerglings. The Zerglings have received a graphical overhaul (evolution?) since SC and have changed quite dramatically from the SC:Ghost concepts. In this screenshot we also get our first glimpse of one of the most important units to the Zerg - the Overlord! The Zerg's detector, transporter, and source of control has gotten an overhaul, and is gleaming with green. Do the green "orbs" reflect the Zerg player's color? Or does the green symbolize the Vespene sacs that allow it to fly?

Ovvies are really sweet, exactly how I imagined them. Nice and cute, ovvie hunting will be so much better!
The zergling got an overhaul too I think, but the wings still suck ass.
Edit: Just saw the rest of the screens, and omg the mutas and lings really blow. ZvZ will be a puke fest.

It looks pretty terrible IMO. The Terran stuff is way too bright and colorful and comes off looking like it was designed by Matel. It looks like Zerg are being turned into insects rather than aliens. Pretty disappointing, but I guess we'll have to wait on Ultras/Hydras to see how stupid Blizzard really is. From the look of the dragonfly mutas?, their artists suck ass. :/

You're welcome :D
And I'm glad I'm not the only hardcore oldschooler who hates the ling model - too many of the fanboys love 'em...

Well, in action they are good looking, but the model for lings isn't perfect. Subject to change.
Overlord is good looking. I'm guessing it's death animaton will be even more satisfying ^_^

Ya, well, they indeed changed a lot. Didn't check back lately.
I don't like the direction Blizzard is taking with the art so far.

Am I the only one who thought that the screenshots looked extremely ugly? The way the models and textures look - they look worse than some EA B-/C+ game.
Also the zerglings don't really make any sense - they are so slim and don't really resemble anything very distinguishable.

I dont care anymore, SC2 is going to be a piece of shit if they keep this up. Forget about being creative, just put a whole bunch of lazors and big robots and bugs you reminisce burning as a child and leave the rest up to the community who browder said would implement the competitive nature of SC threw moding. Blizzard is down right not smart for hiring a CNC dev. Whatever is holy is now defiled, Warcraft in space was once a sin. What comes from this is the thrashing of blizzards legacy by not understanding what people before them have created. The shity art direction you see in SC2 is from WoW geeks constantly creating new useless content. Dont make it so damn obvios that blizzard died a long time ago. Browder needs to gtfo and stop shiting on sc because he knew back in the day he made a inferior game and now he\'s reaping his own bullshit, go remake vigilante 8, that game has some ballance. I say fuck that shit and their assholes and blizzard for not recognizing who the fuck they are. SC2 needs to be competitive, what is competitive, what is art that fits the SC universe, what is a sequel, what is rejection. I reject SC2 just like they reject the starcraft universe. Starcraft needs to stay the way it is and that is the way it is. Dustin is a balled headed basterd who looks like the 2007 version of howy mandel except he didnt have pubic hair on his head before he shaved so what the point. Such a perfect pawn to make SC2 sell to the kids, nice choice blizz your smart, leave it to a guy with a clear dent in his head to create the most advanced RTS ever.

If blizzard had balls they would make a competitive 2d game knowing that it will sell just because its a blizzard title... Wich most blizzard titles are 2d and have sold welll soooo what are we going off of here?... False realities? well i will not be apart of that shity mockery. If blizz doesnt make a 2d game for the 2008's they are dead to me and im not the bitch that told you to go chop your balls off and quit having babies. Thats where i stand i dont know about you.

I sense a drastic overhaul of the game before it launches, similar to the original. If they dont this game will fail at the competetive level.
