Just a little thing I discovered while browsing the Starcraft help F9 (what am I doing with my life?)

[image loading]

Well, there's not much else to say. It is an ugly unit, and I can't wait to slaughter thousands of them! Or perhaps there'll be a protoss mission like in WoL?

There doesn't seem to be any other spoiler, I only saw WoL campaign units other than this very interesting vindicator!

Very big version here : (open the image in a new tab, you won't see anything)

That's interesting, apparently they're retconning the corsair to have the DT color scheme - which admittedly makes sense since they were always supposed to be DT ships.

Yes, they are known from SC: Ghost pictures, but I think that they were called differently there, not sure.

Those seems like Campaign hero units/hybrids. They seem to have included everything.

this is not played on an official blizzard map, thus can this be imported by the mapmaker like seen on a lot of custom games in WoL too.

I think the map is called Titan test map on the HotS beta.

It's a really rough test map. There are a lot of spelling errors and old upgrades/abilities still in the game. The Corsair's model is really rough and doesn't seem to have a portrait, so it seems it has been cobbled together with placeholder elements that might have been data-mined from the beta. Corsair voice files do exist in WoL's files, for instance. That being said, the Corsair on this test map is pretty damn powerful.

The Vindicator seems legit. Its model, portrait, and voice seem very polished. Otherwise, it's a boring unit; it's basically a Protoss marine with bonus damage against Light.

The unit to the left of the Oracle seems to be a placeholder unit with the Oracle's most recent abilities.

Terran just has WoL stuff and the Warhound. Zerg has mostly WoL campaign stuff, the old alpha Infestor, and some new Nydus Worm varieties.

Take this with a grain of salt. A lot of these campaign assets on this test map seem really unpolished so far.

the units such as corsair and vindicator were custom models from the community

It's already been asked but no has commented, what is the unit between the Voidray and Oracle? An arbiter? Looks weird. Or is it one of the stone/giant zealots? Or a Dark Archon? Something new? I can't quite see any definitive details in that little portrait.

I believe it's got the Standard MS, the Selendis one, and an Artanis one.

I think that the ship between the voidray and oracle is a Voidstar. No idea what that means, but I guess an Oracle placeholder like was already stated? I was hoping it'd be way more interesting than that.

Also, also, this map is definitely a community project

his is my own made test map you can compare some sc 1 units, campaign units, Forum suggestions and some WoL units

you need to download my 2 mods the hots dep 1 and hots dep 2

and you require to get my mod multi dep but but thats just the multiplayer date and the campaign units quotes so if you dont use that mod you have silence campaign units

if you like it to publish it on KR US ect you must contact my

all versions are enable for free use of course but plz don't publish that

THIS IS ALONE FOR GUYS WITH THE HOTS EDITOR I TRY TO MAKE IT WOL EDITOR FRIENDLY BUT THAT REQUIRE TIME

the credit's could be incorrect but i m planned to make a new loading screen so sorry if you like to make a new loading screen you could contact my

credit's

ghost nova: the Vindicator, The fatty portrait
Forswore: Laugh templar/ voidstar
gna corsair and re textured by soulfilsher
soulfilsher: the colored buttons and some sounds
freterness: tiger support
qtp ditto for the orginal map


I doubt anything in here is even remotely legit. :/ Case in point, the Vindicator which started this discussion is a fan-made unit (Credit to Ghost Nova), nothing to do with Blizz looks like. Still a pretty cool map/idea though.
