is it still made from a queen infesting a CC or is it campaign only stuff
See Infested Terran. The Infestor spawns five at a time from eggs (the lore excuse is that the Infestor has some Terrans trapped inside him, then just kinda barfs em up when they're needed ).
the new looks is pretty sweet! it has a more... slimy, disguisting look with not quite as much random things sticking out of him as before. and the tentacles coming out of the facial helmet was a nice touch imo.

This used to bother me too, but now I'm cool with it... I mean, if it weren't a "grab a marine and forcefully turn them into an abomination" deal, then why the hell would they have armor and a gun? As for how useful it will ultimately be... well, only time (and the beta) will tell.
my problem is it never actually eats them alive (unless i misunderstood how the ability works)... it hatches from a larva with a limitless supply of infested terrans in its belly already. just a little summon shortcut that reeks of warcraft to me.
isn't it supposed to be kind of an emergency thing? just to tip a battle in your favor? three infestors spawning 5 infested terrans each could probably make a difference.

in i think in one of the battle reports dustin browder says that its a slight AA that the zerg can use quickly and cheaply

@Eskanasi Lol I though of posing the exact same thing but concluded that it doesn't really matters which BR is particular that has been said. It is more important that it has been said. Where it has it been said is an afterthought. ^^

yeah that's so badass. i'm convinced he's the one that got the infestor model changed. i can just see him at a team meeting going 'uh guys, isn't this fat sack thing kinda... dumb looking?'
Speaking of which, I wonder how control will work in SC2, and whether spawning infested Terrans will take up some of your control? Because if not then it will lead to them having a bigger army then anyone else.
yeah but theyre super weak aren't they? zerg don't have as many options as far as units goes so i kinda like the idea of having that supply cap advantage.

Nope it wasn´t Mr Jack that got it changed if you look at the signature at the linked Concept art, you can see that it was the allmighty Samwise himself Also if i´m not mistaken the model changed before Mr Jack joined Blizzard. http://www.sc2pod.com/gallery/concept-art/?id=729

I wonder if the swing around when he is trying to walk. That would be funny. x)

Anyways I never really saw much use of the infested Terran, however the spawning of five of them could prove very useful.

Although I would prefer Mr Jack's face version. It looks more scary. The two tentacles out of the eyes are too humorous imo. x)

eh, as long as they dont flip flop all over the place i think it's fine, haha

Couldn't you just get 12 Infestors to spawn 60 infested terrans at once?
(Yes I'm aware you can have more than 12 units in one group)
#23 Eskanasi
Lol that's pretty badass.
And yes you could get it to spawn 60 infested Terrans.
Speaking of which, I wonder how control will work in SC2, and whether spawning infested Terrans will take up some of your control? Because if not then it will lead to them having a bigger army then anyone else.
