I hate the fact we have destructible shit in sc2 As FA said, what's wrong with these? The effect has been positive on professionally designed competitive maps although I think stacked 0 mineral patches have turned out to be the best way of doing that role, otherwise it's only really broken by lings or splash damage in a reasonable amount of time. The other two things I'll happily wager will fall out of favour very quickly. The Xel Naga watchtowers especially make gameplay worse. | ||

I guess when attacked they can emerge without ordering them to just like z units in BW. | ||

Kerrigan still commands a few Cerebrates as far as I know. Naw...at one of the Blizzcon lore panels, they confirmed that all the Cerebrates are dead, both because Kerrigan didn't like them, and because they couldn't survive without the Overmind. Speculation is that the Queens may play the same role in the Zerg hierarchy, though we've got no confirmation on this. As for ingame voices...well, presumably the people who've played at Blizzcon would know. Anyone? Oh, and Blizzard has stated multiple times that Beta's going to be this year. Now, it's possible they'd delay it for gameplay or technical reasons...but definitely not for the good of Activision's sale numbers or publicity. Blizzard does their own thing with their own games. Right now, though, I'd expect beta out in mid-December at the latest. But who knows? are banelings still triggered by marines, etc. if they're burrowed? i haven't heard anything on this for a while Well, Banelings have never, ever been auto-triggering like mines. They've been able to be detonated while burrowed for a while now, but it's always required a manual command from the player to do so. | ||

The only thing that bothers me is that they have not used those destructible rocks to block (semi-)island expansions (at least not yet). This is annoying, since maps such as Kulas Ravine, Scrapyard and Lost Temple will end up favouring Terrans if this is not changed. EDIT: I do not know if I am the only one, but I would like the stock maps to be more balanced and useful in the long-term then they were in the original. Although the current SC2 maps are leaps and bounds ahead of the stock maps in the original, implimenting some of the imbalances of the original stock maps is not a good idea. | ||

I'm curious if there will be as much support for strategy discussion and finding practice channels/clans as TL currently has for BW. Edit: On another topic, ghost EMP now decloaks units temporarily (according to korean blue post) Maybe TL homepage will look as wgtour's used to? About EMP I wonder how big area will it cover o.o | ||

Imagine how their heads will be wanting to play a game but being pressured to play another. And STILL having to wait what will be decided about the future of starcraft or starcraft2. Hard days will come for the professional guys... | ||

It was horrible though so I imagine they'll have it changed before release. | ||

The units I'm most concerned about are the roach the infestor and the thor. Blizzard seems to be wanting "tanking" units, while any decent micro means those tanking units don't take the hits. | ||
