And what the fuck is going on with the storyline it seem like its evolving into a Star Wars fan fiction. Kerrigan use the force!!!! I just hope this game some what resembles WoL and especially BW and SCI. I just think they should focus on solid game play for that "wow" factor; rather than making bullshit snazzy units to make the game interesting. AS you can see I'm not very optimistic. | ||

Psionics have been like the Force in application since the first time a high templar showed up. Kerrigan's one of the strongest psionics in the sector, putting her abilities closer to that of a protoss than a ghost or spectre.If anything, the units revealed here would make the game more like BW. Warhound - Goliath with splash Shredder - Spider Mine you build at a factory Battle Hellion - Robot Firebat Tempest - Corsair with ground attack Viper - Corsair with death grip Swarm Host - Lurker(in concept, anyway) The replicant and oracle are the only ones that really stand out as completely new. | ||

If not, 45 seconds is a long time for the zerg to not be making anything. And it gets even better if they cannot return minerals to that hatch either. Another question, is there any use at all for the preordain ability on the oracle. I mean, even a bronze level player should be able to tell what unit comp to expect based on the tech buildings he sees when he flies over the base to cast the ability. And pros will be able to guess based on timings or other factors. This ability just seems useless, and could be replaced with something better. Bases can't be phased out. Preordain could be useful to check what a hatchery is researching, if it's burrow, etc. | ||

This is exactly the type of thinking that resulted in the oracle and replicant, two gimmicky as hell units that look like trash. If they don't get cut, I'm probably going to pick up brood war as hots deviates from Starcraft fundamentals too much. | ||

Totally agree, though I've felt this way since WoL. Subpar writing is an understatement, and my problem with the unit designs has always been that it's really hard to distinguish between them until your eyes get really used to it. They don't take silhouette into consideration when they design the units. It's really bad for casual spectators. | ||

Dude, I'm all for interesting and creative new units; that is what I've been waiting for all this time. These units seem to be GIMMICKY as hell. And when did the Protoss ever use their Psionic abilities to levitate shit and choke people? That is totally Darth Vader and Jedi shit. Am I wrong? | ||

The Tempest is ok, but its attack looks silly. Just tossing a big sphere (a sphere again!). It would be nice if the attack actually looked like a tempest. The Warhound just looks ridiculous, makeshift and toy-like. The zerg units look good, though. | ||

I can see maybe replicating a swarmhost The only replicable targets worth replicating on a zerg team are infestors and vipers. ... Of course, neither of those are particularly useful against zerg. ... zerg is going to NEED vipers against colossus. And they make out of the hatch/lair like a queen, so I have to start making them when I see the robo, I couldn't just make 10 of them from larvae after flying into your main and seeing chrono boost on the robo bay. You can be sure the zerg will make them. Blinding cloud will be useful against a hydra roach viper ball, just cast it over the back of the zerg's army. Blinding cloud will also be useful against ling infestor if you cast it over the infestors. It would be a matter of personal preference whether you'd rather replicate vipers or tech to HT. You also aren't considering how awesome replicators will be in a team monobattle. | ||

YOU NOW HAVE MARINES in the lategame. LOL Hmm... I'd probably take a replicant expand for my 4th in PvT quite often I think. Maybe even for my 3rd... Could make the game very interesting actually. | ||

As a Protoss player, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I saw a picture where chrono boost was available and the player was mousing over arc shield. Recall was greyed out. It's probably about as high up in the tech treee as it already is, the only difference will be that you can pick any nexus on the map, rather than having to recall to wherever you left your mothership. | ||
