<br />
Duran, would we all be willing to agree he is Xel&#039;Naga? After the SC:2 news release me and a friend reloaded starcraft and began the story line to get caught up. Both of us haven&#039;t played the game in probably 4 years now. <br />
<br />
Anyways, while we were both playing the game, we separately came to the question: Why does Duran appear Human? is it some form of illusion? Something he&#039;s done to modify his appearance?<br />

But the expansions will add new terran units to the game and it would be really weird not to use units from melee in any campaign. Plus, adding some of the campaign units to the old campaigns (like giving the tal&#039;darim from WoL high templar units to replace the dark templar stuff they shouldn&#039;t be using) could really enhance the gameplay.<br />

Ranging from mindless suicide bombers to the Queen of Blades herself, Infestation can yield unique results, and affects Terrans and wildlife alike, but Protoss seem to be immune. This is also how the Zerg assimilate new races into the gene pool, infesting members of the species and using their DNA to evolve new strains. However, there&#039;s also questions and interesting findings that come with these processes.<br />
