Unlisted changes in the official change log
credits : teamliquid member, Zelniq
New sound effects and some lightly edited music (& 1 new protoss track)
Neural Parasite casts faster (tentacle shoots out quicker)
Can now Bind Locations like you could in SC1. CTRL + F5 – F8 binds the camera location, F5-F8 recalls those locations. useful for rally points, warp-in, mule’ing, etc.
Zerg buildings now bleed when low HP
Protoss buildings now have little bolts of electricity flash around when low HP AND low/empty shields
the bar indicating the procedure of larva spawn now goes from left to right.
it adds another bar for hatch/lair/hive upgrate. In the previous version it just replaces the larva spawn bar.
now you can cancel a egg and make it back into a larva with full return
Colossus can no longer walk through/over force field
Orbital command scanner sweep graphical change
hydralisk/thor/zerglings can now /dance and /cheer
8 new player colors (possibly only accessable by map editor? dunno, depends on max # of players in a multiplayer game)
a window now pops up showing the countdown to being revealed (25 sec), when you lose all of your town halls
all types of units now have a Rank description, like Disciple, Predator, General, etc
new creep tumor texture, new baneling egg morphing texture.
health bars no longer turn yellow if they lose any damage at all. now they stay greenish while theyre at high HP
All zerg buildings now have animations for whenever they are researching/upgrading/building anything. often times they just move around faster
new mouse cursors for each race
the preview of any structure before it is morphed by zerg, now is no longer translucent, it looks exactly the same as if the structure was finished.
when you tell a spire to morph into a greater spire, there’s a totally sweet animation!
new hydralisk range upgrade icon. (used to have the same one as Roach Burrowed Movement upgrade)
new texture for Fleet Beacon. high templar warping in looks different
hellion’s flame is now blue
ghost academy now animates while it’s doing stuff, or did it always? (cybernetics core still does not sadly)
Decals
New Help menu
Known Bugs
credits : teamliquid member, Zelniq
Can no longer target spells/abilities on your buildings or units by clicking on their icons in the selected unit panel. This means you cannot Spawn Larvae nor Chrono Boost by clicking on the building icons. Same goes for other abilities like Repair, Transfusion. seems like a bug rather than an intentional change, makes no sense to not be able to use actions on unit profiles
Cancelling a morphing lava apparently allows for a major exploit to get extra larvae to spawn while 3 eggs are morphing, then canceling the eggs and getting more larvae, allowing players to continuously increase larva count, allowing for some insanely strong zergling rushes
