EPTJust curious, how are the Hellions and Siege Tanks? Or are they totally unnecessary with the introduction of marine+marauder?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that smart casting is similar to MBS, when you have 3 high templar selected and cast storm only one will cast it, if you cast storm again the second will cast it, and if you cast storm a third time the third will cast it. | ||

Which is easier to micro and makes a stronger Psionic storm seem ridiculous. | ||

LR is still my handsome hero though despite his KTF fanboyism <3 I still don't understand why they'd take out LAN though T_T I'm not a PC genius so correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it suck when the game lags and you're playing the person sitting next to you on a pc-bang? T_T | ||

I'm intrigued as to what Blizzard consider as a viable replacement for LAN then.  | ||

Indeed the entertainment of the vulture will be missed, but it's not certain that such a cheap (and powerful) unit would belong. They would probably be pretty f'in incredible at penetrating bases with the new pathing and just mining up everywhere. | ||

Also, how were the ultras? Oh right; about this: In screenshots and in youtube-quality, the game looks either confusing or messy. Up close and personal, however, it's very good. Things die quickly if a bit violently, battles are fast but still viewer-friendly, and all that. One worries that it might be like WC3, but the death animations are better and the battle speed is faster. Also, the lack of mass spell buff icons makes a world of difference, as does the comparatively reduced # of spells available to each race. edit: screenshot of new storm. Doesn't really do it justice though: http://www.incgamers.com/images/screenshots/9323orig.jpg | ||

Also, was this really worth NDAing for a week? Either there's 'something more' or... I don't know, blizzard was expecting everyone to be able to do a more in-depth writeup. | ||

Blizzard's a mystery, even to Blizzard employees. Props to Karune for defending TL's twittering; he, unlike PR-man, understands the instant speed of web 2.0. | ||
