1. They pop out of eggs somehow. 2. The range on these suckers is kinda long, you can presumably launch them off cliffs. 3. Upgraded infestors allow them to move pretty quick while burrowed, you could harass a resource line pretty handily this way. 4. Infestors still die SUPER FAST if focused. 5. Infested Terrans have a pretty short lifespan in "Faster," and do 5 damage to air and ground. | ||

Heck, I wouldn't mind infested terrans that shot acid or something because then at least you could say the zerg have just absorbed terran DNA into their swarm and those are really and truly "eggs" that hatch, but with the rifles it just seems too unbearably corny. edit: I just noticed i'm a zergling now... sweet (: | ||

Problem: what is the reason to get an infestor? infested terran? waste of resources to get a crappy unit (resource of infestor plus energy wait time) | ||

Haven't fully tested with every building yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KS-Kx1-5k4 Did you try building a CC? If it's like BW, a barracks should require a CC before it can be built. | ||

ITs could be useful for harrassing mineral lines w/ nearby cliffs. Obviously, the player wouldn't expect it from a Zerg player to abuse cliffs, since they have no Colossus or Reaper; of course, Infestor could just lay a bunch of Infested Terran down and start firing away at SCVs and whatnot. The Infestor could instantly burrow once it's done its job, and you're set. | ||

P.S. - I'm fairly certain you won't be able to launch infested terrans UP cliffsides without vision. | ||

Frankly corrupters have a great spell early game because with just a few you can stop their production it's great if you're pushing. infestors god dam useless building that i need to get to hive tech. | ||

It takes about 10-11 NP to get the CC finished. I am not sure what happens if you don't NP them again, but my guess is that either the SCV will stop building it automatically or the player who owns the SCV will be able to stop building if they spot it. I think cost and ownership of the CC is determined at the time the building starts. Nexus on the other hard are easy to ninja, since they are self built. | ||

Zerg are reall starting to feel like the overrunning with lots of little units race. Regardless, this Infestor is a much needed improvement. It can also parasite all units now. Not just biological... I agree, and I jsut tested with a friend, parasiting any unit means YES YOU CAN CONTROL THE MOTHERSHIP. This means all your units cloak while all theirs un cloak SUPER USEFUL! I love it. | ||

It makes them relatively useless in the fact that u have to wait so long to do anything. With consume, and a tweak on these useless and corny infested terran, the infestor can be a viable unit... | ||

Idealy I'd like to see the infested terran go and a dark swarm-esq ability replace it. The only issue is that the sentry seems to have taken that role. | ||

I wonder if their attack scales up with zerg melee upgrade. If so, as is (50 hp / 5 attack), it's a slightly crappier marine which isn't too bad. If nothing else it can be used as a meat shield for battles. | ||

A. Infestors die in 3 seconds or less to a couple of marines. B. In the "Faster" setting all ladder games are played in, the MC time is quite short. C. It's energy you could otherwise use spamming fungal growth, or if you're inclined: Infested Terrans. | ||

That.Was.RIDICULOUS. I was like uber-wtf the whole time infested marines were popping out.AND IT DIDN'T STOP! Scary shit.. Idea is cool I guess, it requires positioning, can be used like zealot bombs against tanks or used to harass mineral line. But it just...Doesn't fit in..And looks weird. Like someone here mentioned (I'm lazy to search for the original post), it seems like they really want some sort of infested terran back in the game for some unknown reason. They didn't struggle to remove lurker, but they try so hard to fit this rather random unit in.. Neural parasite looks hella' cool though, sort of like that bug from Starship Troopers lol. Can't find many situations where it would be useful though, unless it has like 8 range. | ||

I really want to incorporate infestors into my zerg play, but their spells just seem underwhelming. Although now that neural parasite can affect any unit... I might just have to use these vs colossi. | ||

I might just have to use these vs colossi. with the animation and casting range, your opponent would have to be retarded to not kill your infestor. he probably wouldnt even have to target fire it since it will run up so close to his army D: Only chance I see is if its a small numbers battle and thats pretty unlikely at the stage you can build infestors D: They could only be really useful against a drop abusing player imo, neural parasite his dropship and fly it into your defenses and kill it. | ||

Maybe instead of having them all as one control group, seperate them into 7 different groups to try and get all of the eggs out at once? | ||

Is there a magic box for this or something? Maybe instead of having them all as one control group, seperate them into 7 different groups to try and get all of the eggs out at once? that would most likely work. starcraft 2 just likes to queueu a bunch of stuff. Even zerg building units from larva is queued. If you have 3 larva highlighted and u press zergling only one will morph into a zergling. | ||
