Terrans: Marauder: This is the heavy black guy huffin and puffin around the battlefield shooting grenades that explodes. I picture him with a fat cigar and a lot of attitude. Why the hell is the portait so faceless and totally devoid of emotion and style?
Thor: This is obviously Chris Metzens lovechild. The portait looks kinda like him and the name is obviously from one of his favourite comics. Why is the voice Arnold the governor then? I say pick one theme and stick to it. Also, the Thor should feel massive. Raise the armor and hp and nerf the cost/dps!
Hellion: Who would put flamethrowers on a hit and run vehicle? Flamethrowers has all the attributes of a slow heavy damage over time vehicle. At least give them napalm bombs or something that explodes after a few bumps in the terrain.
Raven: I would prefer it not to be so high-tech and protoss-like. It feels out of place in the terran army. More rust and attitude please.
Protoss: All Protoss voices They all sound too human. Add more filters and more pseudo-latin.
Zealot: These are fearless fanatics. We cannot hold! Wth? Too wimpy.
Sentry: If they are supposed to do this much dps, then i feel its model is out of place. It totally looks like a spellcaster, but hits like a truck.
Zerg Infestor: The infested Marines are both dumb and boring. Just because the terran spellcaster has auto turrets this one doesnt need to have infested marines. Ditch this spell and give it something else. ANYTHING else. Seriously, what could be worse?
Zergling: It farts? Although farts are cool, they should not be on the zergling. Put it on the infestor or some other fatty instead.
Hydralisk: Something about this unit is just wrong. Theyre supposed to be ravenous scary monsters. They move and shoot like ballerinas. Im not sure if its the sound, the animation or both. Im just not excited seing a swarm of these.
Raven, Viking, Valkyrie, Thor, Javelin Missile Launchers, Thor's Hammer... Sounds pretty much like Norse Mythology, not like some comic book. And I think they are referring to the earlier stages of Arnie's carreer...

Marauder: Because then it would be called the Firebat.
Thor: A long time ago there was this movie called Conan the Barbarian.
And that is why he is perfect for the role. It may not completely fit the theme but its good enough.
Hellion: Because this is SC2 dammit, not SC! That means we have to arbitrarily make things different from the last game just for differents sake! So if Blizzard wants to move grenades from the vulture to the firebat and move the flamethrower from the firebat to the vulture and give them new names, then just facepalm and hope they fix the game before release!
Raven: I liked the Raven better when it was the Nomad. I agree the art change was completely unnecessary and against the theme of the Terrans.
Protoss: I just really hate the stalkers, dark templar, and void ray.
Zealot: I'll take old phrases please! Keep 'En Taro Tassadar' in there.
Sentry: They have very little hp, it fits.
Infestor: I agree, need more diversity in the game. It should be able to infest buildings somewhat how the Queen in SC did the Command Center and be able to build one unit from that building. Though since this doesn't work for Protoss, maybe infested robotic units? Idk.
Zergling: The fart is the one and only annoyed sound, you shouldn't hear it too often. My complaint about sounds for Zerg is how they all sound the same just at different pitches.
Hydralisks: Bring back the green goo! Get rid of the excess spikes and give it more character.

Also, altough I cant flip out a reference, Chris Metsen diggs the writer of that comic series. Arnold is cool but I think the Thor should have ONE theme and not be confused with two completely different ones. Change the portait to Arnold or change the unit voice, imo.
two things that really annoy me off the top of my head is zealots running around like ninjas (instead of warriors) and marauders having so much hp as "infantry" units. there are a few other annoying stuff that i'm too lazy to mention.
