cool video, but isn't battle cruisers a better choice against tempests and other protoss units rather than using vikings? | ||

This isn't the official beta, just a user created HOTS custom, so the creator reused a model from campaign in place of the real Tempest model. | ||

Cool game though, i look forward to games that actually have action before 15 minutes without it being an all in. It is the community that whined and bickerd that influenced blizzard to turn sc2 into the current bore-fest that it is now. I hope the balance policy is now swung in the favor of imba vs imba just like in broodwar. That game looked like it could have gone either direction, despite all the so called OP stuff . Very cool. | ||

The only thing that makes "imba vs imba" work in bw was because it was hard to use (e.g. storm) and it reward the better player. Now in sc2, anyone can spam storm like jangbi. | ||

Yes storms etc. are easier to use in star 2, but no average player can land the storms of a pro gamer. Just because the game got easier in comparison doesn't mean it's an easy game, same goes for the skill gap. | ||

I'm not sure what you are trying to argue against here, since you yourself admit it's easier to use storm in SC2. I'm trying to say that old's BW imba spells reward the better player while sc2 they just nerf all OP spells because everyone can use it decently. | ||

HD's video just reinforced the "no carrier no buy" feel I have towards HOTS. Too bad though, because widow mines and the mothership core looks great. | ||

"widen the gap between bw and sc2 fans". | ||

When a Taliban is on high ground (mountains), it gets a massive defensive buff. Meanwhile, the army of the Terran player using Talibans comes in and smokes your ass. | ||

It can appear anywhere on the map and cause trouble and you basically have to pour your money on units to fight a Taliban unit. When it gets to 1 hp, it burrows and becomes undetectable. When enemy forces move away from a Taliban, it unburrows at full health and continues draining the enemy player's resources. Meanwhile, the army of the Terran player using Talibans comes in and smokes your ass. Terran has a unit called the Marine. Nearly invincible in hand to hand combat and longer range skirmishes, the player can choose to deploy squadrons of Marines in a variety of specialized roles. Whether it be dedicated suppressive fire, locking down an area on the map, highly accurate radio bombardment via forward patrols, or the elimination of enemies via medium/long range combat with a variety of weapons, Marines are the go-to choice of Terran generals everywhere.
