Oracle can warp buildings away to stop attacks on your own structures, or stop research for enemy structures
Oracle can see research or production of enemy structures
Replicant can transform into non massive units
Mass recall now available on Nexus
Recalled units are unable to move for a few seconds
Warhound is good at killing siege tanks, but has a short range
You can only have ONE THOR ON THE FIELD AT A TIME, but it becomes BIG AGAIN LIKE IN ALPHA/BETA
Thor attack and health increased
Instead of air attack, Thor gets a massive bombardment skill
Bombardment requires a skill similar to siege mode, this requires a fusioncore and an armory
Battle Hellion has higher health and shorter range
Ghost cloak changed and now spends a specific amount of energy, lasting for a certain period of time
Ghost cloak is no longer an on/off skill
Battlecruiser gets a cooldown skill called "limit reactor"(?) that boosts movement speed
Reaper loses d8 charge attack
Reaper gains a HP recovery skill
Viper inserts parasite into friendly units to make them detectors
Corruptor loses corrupt and gets a new skill called "absorb"(?) that damages enemy structures and turns them into resources
Banelings can move burrowed
Hydralisks gain a speed upgrade
No more overseers

"warp buildings away" is probably like a temporary cloak for the building

it was initially closed, then just kinda closed since anyone who pre-ordered the game got a beta key.

Can someone please give us the exact details on the Hydralisk in HoTS? Is it still T2? Is it still Light? Is it the same cost? Does it morph into anything?
All we've heard on it is that it has a speed upgrade so far.
Also, the marine. Any chances to it's hp/range/dmg/cost/etc???

One of the problems with announcing this is that it effectively turns Starcraft 2 right now into a lame-duck game. Why come up with new strategies when most of them are going to be invalidated/need to be heavily modified come HotS release? Are the games played today really going to be cared about 2-3 years from now, or are they going to be forgotten as "vanilla" games? You might call MC a lame-duck president
? He president of Starcraft?

I wish the Warhound or whatever it is, was literally just the goliath, i'm not a fan of AOE against air in general in SC2 specifically because of the auto clumping nature of the air pathfinding. It also looks really silly and gangly while the goliath looked like an anti air thing should where it has really heavy/stable looking feet.
|
So by "Lair tech", does that mean vipers are directly built from lairs or is it just "lair level tech" as in T2?
cause if zergs have to wait till a spire is up to get mobile detection, that'd be pretty retarded.

-_- moveable burrow banelings, pulling the best units into the swarm and distrubtion web? T_T~~ I don't want to cry, but .. wow.
|
Too many aoe imo. All the aoe units in this game is already game changing... infestors, collosi, tanks, high templars, ghosts, banelings.
|
OMG Defilers and sort-of-lurkers.
Looks like Protoss gets sort of science vessel-like units.
Terran is fucked, their units look retarded.

this needs to come out now
sounds awesome :D

Why does every unit have to have a retarded gimmick? Why can't we have units like the old dragoon, that had a simple concept, and was difficult to master. In the hands of a skilled player it was great, but was super clunky for noobs. A superbly designed unit, intentionally or not. I wish we had more units like that in SC2. Wait..did you just call the dragoon "superbly designed"? It was a hard to micro unit specifically because it's pathing algorithim was poorly designed. That was not on purpose, at all. It turned out to be a great unit sheerly by luck, not by purposeful design.
One might argue that BW *itself* became a competitive game by luck, not by design.

Argggh, lowering the range of the Battle Hellion makes it feel useless. I still think normal Hellions are easier to keep from dying just due to their mobility. HP is nice and all but at the pro level mobility > hp because micro is so good. I can't see Battle Hellions being used much at all, except for maybe in a heavy hellion harass into all-in attack with say marines and battle hellions.
