All I can say is the battlecruiser looks much uglier :( . But the desert terrain is nice though.

The battlecruiser looks excellent, although I would much prefer a Lioness Cruiser. ;)

Without the hammerhead front it reminds me of an X-Wing, lol. :lol:

Did they change it? Because it sure looks like it still has the hammerhead to me.

No, they didn't change it. I was just saying that when I imagined it without the hammerhead it reminded me of an xwing.

It does, except it won't have a moving flapper. Lol, if BCs did have a moving flapper, I'd love bcs even more.

In the screenshot on the bottom right, there is a siege tank which is covered in a BC's shadow. The factory to the left isn't, though it looks like it should be...

Looks like the Battlecruiser's shadow is covering part of the Factory.

Desert looks sweet! The street is a great addition!

Oh, and I noticed that it looks like they gave Yamato Gun less range, which sucks since you can't use it to destroy buildings from a distance anymore.

lol, they have those tubes for the plasma torpedos...looks kinda funky, but i guess i can live with it

Wait...is that terrain Desert or Badlands? I hope it isn't Badlands, because in SC1 I rely on Badlands to make WoW Westfall style maps. The one shown in the BC page looks way too dry for me to pull that off... Give me my dying yellow grass goddammit >_<

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
