I think I like Irradiate and spider mines much better than Hunter-seeker misiles and D-8 charches. Those seem to be so generic. Like wc3 cough. With Irradiate you can: burrow, micro it away (air), kill the affected unit yourself, run it through enemy formations (ultra). The same goes for spidermines: shoot mines, drag it into the enemy, pick up the targeted unit.
It seems to me now the only counter to AoE is to spread units or kill the caster before it casts. I hope Blizzard knows whats its doing and SC2 is more than meets the eye right now.
What?
With hunter seeker missile you can counter in exactly the same ways as irradiate, but in addition to that if you just constantly move away from it you negate the damage completely! It is just like if you would micro against scourge with splash damage or slower reaver scarabs.

irradiate and mines were the only true counters to swarm

meh :/ although I wasn't able to watch the BR#2 directly, it's gonna be disappointing  the vid clearly tries to show off new Zerg units in SC2 instead of playing a real competitive match. normally, using zerglings as initial units and quickly teching into hydra, lurker and/or muta build would be how a good SC1 pro game would progress... I WANTED TO SEE SOME MUTA ACTION! *sniff* boohoo* instead they show some lame roach/ baneling action

oh man! which reminds me (suddenly struck by wave of fear;;; ): are they going to dare omit the science vessel and the defiler in SC2??? if they do, SC2's onlook is gloomier than ever

Awesome. Zerg this time. I'm excited.

They "dared" omit those two units, but most of the spells they have in sc1 are in sc2 for other units, exept Irradiate, I think...

The Science Vessel has never been in any version of the game they've shown to the public.
The defiler has not been in the game for a long time / possibly never was.
Doesn't matter if their replacements are good tho, which the Infestor at least seems to be. The nighthawk probably is as well but I think I prefered it when it was called the "Nomad".. Eh, not a big gripe obviously.

true I absolutely agree. as long as there are replacing units that can use the ability to the same effect there's no problem at all. Dark swarm is a crucial support for lurk/ling offense, so it would be very saddenning if it did not make its appearance :S and sci-vessels make ZvT games mroe fun

hey thanks for letting me know I thought it would appear slightly obvious that I already have, and am an active player of SC1. But I guess some people can't go on without making witty remarks eh? Don't get me wrong, I am dying for SC2, like all of us. Can't wait to see awsm players play in 3D sexiness graphics XD

True but swarm would lose all of it's potency if defilers didn't have virtually infinite energy with consume... which isn't the case for the SC2 corruptor. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, (actually it might even be a good thing for gameplay), but i'm just saying that in practice, we won't use the old dark swarm in the same way as we'll use the new one.

I think they removed swarm last I heard.. It definitely didn't have consume anyway.
