Starcraft 2 Zerg Overview

Finally! After almost one full year since they released the first bits of information regarding Starcraft 2, we can finally see the Zerg in all their glory. If you haven’t heard, Blizzard has unveiled the Zerg section on their site. In the early game trailers, we indeed had a brief glimpse of the Zergling unit, which apparently is the same devilish swarmer that it was in the first game. Although, it now has the ability to turn into explosive rolling cannonballs called baneling. And when working together, they can spell out “GG” on the screen... I kid. But I’m sure every Starcraft 2 Zerg fan was left drooling for more, so grab out the old slimy exoskeleton and get ready to do some Zerg-style acid phlegm spitting.

Starcraft 2 Zerg – Introduction

As I’m writing this, Blizzard is still short of giving us any information on how the Starcraft 2 Zerg race will look. All we can do is take assumptions, based on what we see in the official Starcraft 2 trailer, gameplay movies and from the short breadcrumb trail of hints that Blizzard officials left for us to follow.

New Starcraft 2 Units

From what Blizzard tells us, Starcraft 2 will try to maintain the original feel of the game, without messing up too much with the gameplay mechanics. However, that didn’t stop the developers in including a set of new units for each of the three races, as well as revamping some old ones and giving them some cool new abilities. Let’s take a look at the new Starcraft 2 units from what we know so far (please note that when I’m writing this the Zerg units are still not released to the public eye, so I’ll focus only on Terran and Protoss units for now).

New Terran Starcraft 2 Units

Reaper

These guys are bad news, as reapers are only recruited out of the most violent prisoners in Terran society. The unit is slightly tougher than a normal marine but the reaper also has a jetpack that allow him to pass unhindered over cliffs or obstacles. It seems that they work best in packs, since their firepower isn’t all that solid.
