    IV noticed that there was not information about the ART aspect of the game or concepts, at all. Have you come across any art panels or they were not the focus of the day?
    Any discussions about zerg art style? in what diction will they got with them?

    I think they still do 6 or 8 apiece. And no, they're not all that effective especially because of the cost of the Carrier.

    Zerg:

    Probably Baneling, Hydralisk, and Lurker. Didn't see much of the Mutalisks.

    Protoss:

    Definitely Stalker, Immortal, and Dark Templar.

    Terran:

    Reaper, Tank, Marauder

    Nopes.

    Frankly there wasn't all that much "new" information about anything except that StarCraft 2 is a Trilogy. Of course we attended the Art panel but Samwise was doing his usual act of claiming that we shouldn't hate on the Zergling because he won't change it. Things like that.

    Since there was no single player demo I don't know if there's any in single player anymore.

    But there were a few physics-related death animations. Mostly ground units like the Siege Tank, Reaper, etc.

    ok, now this is my real last question(s).

    were you able to use the Overseer's expanding sight range, was it changed in any way?

    how do you feel about it? do you think it would be useful(or be used at all) in multiplayer?

    Hey Jon, I was just surfing the Battle.net forums and found this straight from Karune:

    The Seismic Thumper he was referring to was from the NightHawk.

    Yeah Karune talked about both of those ideas at BlizzCon but I don't think either of them were in the build we saw. That was definitely not the ability that the Nullifier had. LOL

    Any estimate on how many Marines, Zerglings, Zealots the Viking in ground mode could take?
    i.e. 1 Viking to x Marines
    just to get a feel of how that unit is working out.

    Meh, not well. 1 Viking = 3 Marines = 4 Zerglings = 2 Zealots

    Yup. Battlecruisers were still overpowered. I didn't see any Carriers though. :D

    Did you build any Creep Tumors? You can rapidly engulf terrain in Creep from the requirements I've seen, and stealth protects them from early tumor hunting...
