The only SC2 comeback that I like more than BW's original are the Battlecruisers.

Battlecruisers are made much better, never understood why they put ONE gun to such a huge ship... though i come from TA/SupCom, so the whole mechanic is alien to me (why stop to shoot, why not fire all your weapons if you can (like thor could kill some hydras while clearing the sky from mutas... etc.)), but BCs became much more real.

Marines on the other hand i feel that looked better in BW. Maybe im in love with sprites?

As a Zerg player I think the only "cooler" units in this game is Brood Lords > Guardians and Sc2 Queen > BW queen. How can you say the ultralisk i cooler now? IT MOVES LIKE A FRICKING DRESSAGE HORSE? "OH I PUT ONE LEG IN FRONT OF THE OTHER, NOW I TURN AROUND DUE TO A SMALL COCKROACH IN MY WAY". In BW the ultralisk charged like there was no tomorrow, more like a combination of a elephant-bear-cheetah in it's movement. With Kaiser blades.

Also the new hydralisk looks like it is the old-one's grandma off-creep and the roach is and always will be a protoss-unit with identity crisis.
Backho fan since 080416. Favourite terran: Mind. Favourite Zerg: Jaedong.

Colossus are pretty pimp. I really like the new queen mechanic. I feel that has a unit, it fits her better.

My favorite new unit is the broodlord. It's just insane.

Warp Prism > Shuttle
BW lings > SC2 lings

Although, I kinda liked the flying queen. Parasite was a nice way to annoy your opponents + free vision and there was that one shot kill skill, broodlings was it? And you could infest terran command center!
Part of being mature is to accept your loss.

Nothing can top the reaver drop excitement level in BW. Not even close.

Bring reavers back PLEASE. =(

As far as units that are now cooler:
SC1 Dropship < SC2 Medivac(Heals!)
SC1 Ling < SC2 Ling(Wings!)
SC1 BC < SC2 BC(Multishot!)

I like the probe better now.
Everything else, even the guardian and the Queen, are better in BW, in my opinion. There are few things as exciting as watching a ZvZ with queens ensnaring or bringing a terran player to tears by infesting command centers. Transfusing both looks more boring and doesn't feel to have the same effect. And at least for me, happens much more seldomly as well

EDIT : I forgot to mention the queen singing being my favorite Zerg sound in BW.

I meanwhile love the Marauder so much!

He has just such a cool suit and then the voice... "Sucks to be you!"
