1. Protoss warp in animation is pretty slick, I like it. 2. Player controlled gas ports don't show up on the minimap, they stay as white squares. 3. Unit icons in dropships don't change size like in SC. 4. Psistorm looks sick as fuck but is way too fast. I know they lowered the damage but 80 damage in like 2 seconds is way more powerful than 125 across a few seconds. I hope they fix 2, 3 and 4. Of course 4 is a balance issue that will be dealt with during beta. So far this was definitely the best battle report. | ||

-I haven't seen any banshees in these BRs, but they need to change it's design or scrap it completely if its still a helicopter in space. There were banshee's in the first and the second report. Not a major role, but they were used. | ||

though, 80 dmg that is undodgeable is pretty smexy nuke isn't imba at all. it's the medivac healing the ghost that's imba. | ||

I'm glad that they mention you can dodge projectiles with them, because that probably means you can dodge them with blink as well. I wasn't overly worried about this but it's good to have confirmation. - Nukes =) Not sure how many silos he had, or if it just builds really quick, but it seemed viable. Dislikes - The Thor. I thought I'd like it, but it felt a bit weird  Soooo big, and it didn't really do anything interesting. I dunno, maybe I'll get used to it? I wasn't a fan of seeing the T and P armies look so similiar tho (Thors+Marauders vs Stalkers+Colossi).- Their single player Vulture model still looks a lot cooler than the Hellion. Yeah I agree totally. The Thor was always an awful idea. | ||

The Thor was always an awful idea. I sort of liked it when it was built by SCVs... the problem is it doesn't seem to actually do anything fun. It needs something that sets it apart, some kind of personality. AoE barrage and an anti-air attack just doesn't cut it :/ Oh and it's still stupid to replace the medic with the medivac Should have just kept the medic but let it heal from inside a dropship or something if they wanted flying healers. Meh. | ||

They would look and perform a lot better if there was some natural inertia to their movement.David Kim plays like Boxer with the gosu dropship micro attacks and sneaky nukings. Everything I see in this BR is that Terran is almost perfect. The only thing I wish they could do is make the Hellion able to shoot while moving for some of us that love the way the vulture attacks while moving. Terran is so freaken mobile (and that's good since that's one of their weakness in SC:BW) now and he rarely used seige tanks to push out. I'm very happy to see the new Terran race though I'll be missing the spider mines since those mines created so many unique and fun strategies. | ||

I really like the Medivac portrait! That glowing blue on the back of her glove is awesome. The Ghost was really cool too. Also, did anyone notice the Planetary Fortress had like 12 or 13 kills in that fight at the high-yield minerals? That's pretty crazy for static defence, not even mentioning how durable it was! | ||

David Kim spent most of the game nearly maxed out in supply, yet his army looks no bigger than a WC3 army. And it's obvious that the reason why is because the Thors are such supply hogs, as well as the fact that tanks now require 3 supply instead of 2. And even if it's balanced, I honestly don't want to play a Starcraft game that revolves around small armies. My least favorite units in SC2 are the Thor and Hellion, and so far those opinions still hold for me. Other than those specific complaints, I really enjoyed this battle report much more than the others. Seeing siege tank + dropship micro come back was a joy to see, and psionic storm looks amazing. I've been wanting to see someone utilize a ghost for the longest time, so I'm glad David used it so effectively. Makes me wonder if nuke is gonna be imba. Still waiting eagerly for the beta <3 | ||

One question: how does zealot charge works? do you have to press a key so they use the speed bust and it has a cooldown like stalkers? | ||

1- i dont like hellions at all, and medivac will be pretty imba TvZ. they take a lot of hit and dont die (yeah its beta, but they have to show that they are working on balancing) 2- nuke are very good at least his animation and Storm is Badass xD | ||

david kim was probably playing on the handicap "no ravens" one or two of those would have been able to rape the observers/warp prisms (or am i wrong and they've taken them out? cuz then that would make terran slightly less imba) i'm totally switching to terran if the game stays like this. reapers look so satisfying. | ||
