Commander Loading Screens

Does anyone else miss the old commander loading screens? The ones where they included their signature units/calldowns/buildings in the background? The current ones where it’s solely the commanders feels a little bit bare. Why were they removed in the first place? I miss seeing the Hyperion hovering above Raynor and his Marines, Stukov with his Apocalisk and Aleksander, and Karax’s Photon Cannon on the loading screen.

Can you guys share your favorite/s and speculations on what would’ve been Tychus’ Zeratul’s and Stettmann’s if ever the were given one?

I miss them too and feel that removing those was a mistake. They were better with the comm and their iconic units.

Regarding Ty I think a siloutte of shadows with white eyes of all or some of the outlaws could have been his screen. Another option could have been just nikara with one more maybe blaze.

Z with the immortals.

And weirdman with gary and a sattelite would have worked.

I miss some of the flavor, but I like the inclusion of portraits and banners. The old system didn’t have that.

But they aren’t mutually exclusive either. We could easily have the full art alongside banners and portraits.

I don’t miss stukovs arm - though

Tychus, Zeratul and Stetmann backgrround units were actually all shown in posts with these commanders previews.

Have no idea how to post links here, so just copy-paste that.

External links require higher trust level, it’s silly.

Understatement of the day, and the pacific coast is still waking up.

Sorry to bump an old thread but there was one on this topic yesterday that seems to have gone down the memory hole.

I’m curious why the left and right side stars for level 1000 players are different on the current screens?
