i just found out about this all this morning. i almost creamed myself.
need beta now
Ofcourse, there will be an expansion set!!!
:looney: The protos look broken! Can’t wait to see what extra units the zerg and terrans get.
Another race!! That’s hella awesome. If it is the xel-naga(sp?) wouldn’t they dominate? Aren’t they the creators of the zerg and protos? Well who ever it is it’ll be awesome.
lol, the new Zerg Nydus canals, or whatever those are…WHAT THE FUCK!!!
Damn, I can already see this game is gonna be so damn awesome, but I think it’ll be still more macromanagement over micro, which is no problem at all, but damn, they really did a great job.
And lol - I didn’t know Protoss can speak Korean :o
Motherfuckers are getting ADVANCED
The little test tube babies Duran made that broke Zeratul are probably gonna show up…but as some kinda NPC. Or they might just retcon it.
I think I have a bit of an idea of how SC2 gameplay is probably gonna go.
Every race has it’s own “Mothership”, like the Protoss do, and it’s going to be a huge factor in how things will play out.
I think the game will be fairly balanced after reviewing the live demo.
the zerg ownd the xel-naga.
I swear, if Kerrigan is gonna be a hot Zerg chick, i’m going Zerg.
More than likely, i’m gonna go Terran, but damn, Protoss look really fun to play, with all the warping and terrain walking intact, it looks great.
I’m really interested to see where they take the Zerg. The Terrans seem relatively unchanged even in style which is a shame but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt since nothing is finalized.
For Zerg, I’d really like to feel like I’m playing a totally different game when I use them. The initial idea I had involved the Zerg base functioning almost like a single bio-organism rather than separate entities. In turn every new structure is not necessarily independent and is added to a collective of bio-structures that are all connected to a central brain or command center. In laymen’s terms, think of it as each structure is an add-on to a primary structure. Structures could be placed independently but would not reap great benefits from being part of a biomass like this. Add the creep into all of this and we’re looking at some VERY weird looking bases.
Starcraft never really had units in each faction that have necessary ‘equivalents’. So I don’t think Terrans and Zerg will have a Mothership-like unit at all. I imagine the Protoss Mothership is really a replacement for the Carrier or Arbiter (or both). I can’t see the Protoss actually still having the Carrier along with their current aerial armada, they would be unstoppable.
Again, I’m very curious to see what sort of new toys the Terrans and Zerg will employ in this new war. Visually, I just hope the returning units/structures adopt A FRESHER visual style & design, like the new Nydus canals, LOVED THEM.
or you can just bum rush and win
No bum rush! NO BUM RUSH!!!
Yeah, I do see your point, but we’ll just have to see.
At first, I thought it was the new Carrier, but I think they will be taking out Arbiter for sure. I mean, Arbiter recall costs energy, if you look at the Phase Prism, they just warp in as many as you can get. The game will be crazy as hell.
lol, I can already see the Korean commentators going wild…
"Yeahh…Phase Prism, oh! …yeah…yeah…YUUEAAAAAAHHHHH!!! PHASE PRISM DROP-UH!! YUUUUUUEAAAHHH!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! BLACK HOLE!! MOTHERSHIP-UH!!! YEAAAHH HAHAHAA!!! YEAAAAHHH!! JEGGULING!! JEGGULING (zergling)!!! BANNULING!! BANNULING!!! (baneling) YUEEAHHH!!..YUUUEAAHH!! GEE GEE!!!"
crowd goes insane - 50 girls in the crowd are now dripping from orgasms
Haha, they haven’t even posted any of the new stuff for the Terran or Zerg yet let alone the game actually yet to even be played and some people are already crying out “zomg toss imba!!!11one!!1”
lol, I think it’s mainly because of due to the bias of the Blizzard crew toward the Protoss because of the live demonstration, I doubt the real game is gonna be anything like that. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Terran and Zerg.
Supposedly, it’s been confirmed by Blizzard that there will only be Terran, Zerg and Protoss, no other new races, which i’m somewhat glad to hear because there isn’t any other race I could think of. A Zerg/Toss combo would just sound a little weird, and a Toss/Terran combo sounds fairly…iono, weird.
And plus, why create a new specie when you already have the perfect 3? Adding one more is probably going to make it a bit imbalanced due to so many different units.
im glad i got this username! can someone hook me up with some terran av to complete my day… thanks!
Any word on Reavers? they where high ass hell on the tech tree, but they where one of my fav units for 'toss. And I hope they still have the templars.
IMO. They wont take out any unit they had in SC. Also id like to say that the gameplay video with the new zealot shield, blinking tanks, collosi, and new Phoenix units for the protoss just about made me cry in joy. Ive havent said this since i played mgs3 but… Im impressed.
I have a feeling Reavers are going to be lost for impossibles, but I could be wrong.
As for the mothership issue, I expect eachrace to have an equivalent. The zerg will more than likely evolve a hatchery into it - the thing a step under the overmind or whatever…its what you ‘technically’ were in the first one. The Terran Battle Cruisers have always been WAY to small for me when you think of the original SC/BC intro. More than likely we’ll see a ‘real’ Battle Cruiser as the terran mothership.
- :bluu:
Actually they said that some units wouldn’t be returning. For example, the dragoon is gone, and in its place is the immortal.
