I don't like that though... would be way too drastic a change to terran play, and would completely kill their racial identity (as though it wasn't killed enough by the marauder). And "people who build barracks stuff" is superior because...? THIS POST WINS THE THREAD .... not sure if troll or just stupid *bows* | ||

A merge ability just like with two templers seems plausible as well. Let's see if it proves to be right! After seeing this image I think it's pretty clear it's the next evolution for terran: The super marine. A regular marine, except with wheels for hellion run speed(x2 when stimmed of course), a hellion flamethrower duct taped to its helmet for melting zerglings / zealots, double fisted combat shields for +20 hp, a improved reaper jetpack allowing the super marine to go into flight mode to avoid banelings just in case they get too close(A separate energy bar called fuel will be given so they can't fly constantly that would be a bit over the top), reaper grenades for armored targets (30+3) and EMP. Oh and Point defense drone why not. Naturally it would retain stim for increased attack speed / movement. Now obviously some people might take issue with this new marine but before you start qqing it won't be this strong at the very start of the game. I predict each of these features for the new super marine will be from upgrades. The combat shield upgrade will be able to be researched twice, the infernal preigniter will become helmet infernal preigniter, reaper speed upgrade will become marine jetpack upgrade, a ghost academy will be required for the EMP and a starport for PDD. This way the marine can still cost 50 minerals without being too powerful in the early game. Now I know what you are thinking "How is terran supposed to afford all the gas for these upgrades?" well from this I think we can glean another change in HOTS: mules will be able to dropped down refinery chimneys to mine gas. People say terran has a answer for everything because they are the most complete race, but they are missing the point that terran has to make several different units! How can that be considered complete! With this new unit we can just make one unit that has all the answers. I expect the new unit for zerg to be the "Super infestor" to retain balance in tvz much in the same way, I'll let people speculate on that once the image is released. Naturally protoss will have to wait for the 2nd expansion for their own super unit. | ||

Not really too precise... The one blizzard published is from hundreds of thousands... And they even included one for Master/GM only... so... yeah... | ||

I know they've got raven, ghosts and scan... But something observer-ish would be fine for T, I guess | ||

Anyway the only real information is that this is officially the beginning of a new intolerable waiting period. | ||
