Starcraft Guide

This isn’t the three units you are able to begin with as zerg, or any other race in Starcraft 2, but just our title for the latest Q&A from blizzard, number 43. Short one this time, as much of the time over there are used to prepare for Leipzig GC and BlizzCon.

One question was about critters, and if they would have attack animations. As you know, Starcraft 1 did not have aggressive critters. Warcraft was the franchize that introduced this to the Blizzard RTS, and Starcraft 2 will also have critters you have to fight. This probably means that you need some forces to spread out to the first expansion bases.

The biggest answer comes when they are asked about zerg versus zerg matches, where the choice earlier was between zerglings and hydralisks. In Starcraft 2 the hydralisks will mainly be anti-air units, and the new units roaches will be the alternative to zerglings. For the full response from blizzard, check their forums.

Blizzard said in an interview with MTV that they will be making an achievement-system that is simular to XBOX Live Achievements. How this will work with games as different as World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, we have no idea.

So far there is allmost only information about WoW, and apparently Wrath of the Lich King-beta testers can allready now see achievements. We will come back with more information as soon as we know more about how this will be integrated into Starcraft 2. Until then check out the Ctrl+Alt+Del comic about the news.
