Whatever it is please god don't turn tvz into tvt. I like the super aggro balls deep play...

Dropships are still in the game so there will still be room for super aggression, I like the idea of zerg having the ability to hold positions but at the same time using their mobility to flank and surround.


As a protoss i don't really like that xD

Hah, it will get balanced out eventually, I think I'm going to fall in love again with SCII if they keep adding stuff that requires micro and positioning. Also if this burrows and is cloaked while under ground, ravens might become a staple of TvZ.

I think people are getting ahead of themselves these could be just for the campaign and not multilayer.

I think at the end of the day it will turn out to be a lurker. Even if it doesn't exactly look like one, even some of the original SC1 units doesn't look exactly the same on SC2. Besides the lurker is already one of the units showing up regularly on Heart of the Swarm game play vids, and was already used in the Wings of Liberty campaign. Also it can be read in Blizzard Q&A's that there is clearly hinted about the return of the Lurker.


it's not a lurker. there is a GIANT hole in the top/cephalic aspect of the giant belly

Ohhh that could be it too. Those huge claws could be used for climbing.

Zerg is the only race without cliff mobility right now.


I kinda hope they re-tool or remove the colossus and reaper both, and just scrap the idea of cliffwalking...but I could see this being the case.

Gotta love how people are already jumping to conclusions without having any information on the changes or the new units whatsoever.

is it only me or the shield remind a creep tumor?
perhaps a sort of siege unit who moves burrowed, act like a creep tumor (spreading tumors like a queen) and do some sort of long range dmg? slow as hell ofc...


Yup, I mentioned that on the last page. So I'm glad it's not just me who thinks so.

If it looks like a creep tumor on the outside, though, then what part of it attacks? Hrm.

A blizzard poster confirmed that the terran unit was for multiplayer. He did also mention that it wasn't final though.
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Based on what they have said in past interviews I think zerg and toss will get at least 2 new units and terran will probably get just the 1 new unit.

I'm almost 100% these are all new multiplayer units, that is why there is so much hoo haa around it.

This has probably been said but it looks like a siege unit, sort of like the Biovores from 40k, maybe it is a baneling cannon?

Well that would be very anticlimactic. Who gives a shit about what new units are added for the campaign? Other than Blizzard of course.

They have said in the original release thread that these are for multiplayer.

Imo I think they will remove 1 toss and terran unit and add 2 to replace them, and then remove 2 zerg units and add back 3 more.
