A nice addition in Starcraft 2 is multiple death animations as displayed by these hapless Terran Marines:

Marines exploding under 88mm Tauren gun fire

more on the Tauren Marines here

Terrans melting into a Blood pool under heavy Colossus beam fire(version 1)


Marines get sliced in half thanks to the new Zerg Ultra attack (source starcraft.hu)




On fire - Marines get lit up by the new Battle Cruiser ability, Plasma torpedos.
You can see this better in the Terran Demo video here

I guess the nondescript blood ring with the scattered unidentifiable parts was outdated for the look of SC2.

How come they seem to have little arm shields in some of those pictures? :o

Opet different builds.  Not sure if it's still in right now but there was an upgrade for the shields (more hp... and something else I think).

I like that there are little things like this (multiple death animations).

Awesome! I don't like building marines because they always get slaughtered and I feel sorry for them :<

Currently the shields are still in and they give +10 hp to Marines

There have been builds with and without the shields and builds with both options in the game! But they are still doing a lot of testing and I doubt that you can have both, most likely this feature will end up being a permanent upgrade*.

*Unless..  they make it an option per Marine in order to open up more ways to increase your APM since features like Multiple building selection and auto-mining take away from Macro

Reminds me a lot of the current animations in C&C3, glad that they brought these in. Adds flavour NOMNOMNOM.
