Thank god that's campaign only.

Though their lack of imagination is really disappointing even for the campaign...

Over on battle.net forums, there is a guy 'dogger' who is taking questions about HOTS who actually played this quite a bit:

Interesting quote:

No and I checked a lot of stats too. The only noticeable change that I was able to find was the re-imagined Thor and Ultralisks doing +damage to light now instead of armored.

Bye, bye marines

here is an idea for the tempest attack (with some awful drawing):

I think they should go back to the 1 vespene geyser in sc1. The fact that late game about 80 supply is workers is dumb imo. I think a 1/3 of the supply should be the around the max a person needs late game to have stronger unit compositions and larger battles.
On a side note, protoss units are soo bad. No ones going to live through muta harass and make tempests when zerg tech switch is so easy and brutal. Hydra switch with speed boost will shut down all protoss air big time. Why not give us another useful spellcaster synonymous to the dark archon making templar tech more useful for its cost, specially without KA. No one is really going to make a replicant in hopes of wanting a unit of a different race.

If im correct on this, the replicant can also change into workers giving you the ablity to create Hatcheries or CCs to create your own PZ or PT army

I'd rather read comments than post, and honnestly who here can tell if a unit seems really usefull or imba before trying it.

But man, when I see the tempest, I have to join with those who criticize it : What has it been designed for ? He 's got no utility whatsoever. Who cares dealing with mass mutalisk ? Who goes with mass muta anyway, except in bronze, it's useless vs protoss.

And as showed in the vid, it's clearly the only air unit it can conter effectively, but once again : We don't need it ! Take it back !

The shredder attacks ground and air, has a very large radius and does EXTREME amounts of damage per second. The "not working close to your own units" doesn't matter. It isn't shut off by buildings. imagine a terran on shattered temple get the base in the corner as his third and then put two of them BEHIND a depot wall off and a couple turrets next to them. vs zerg this would completely shut down any chances of doing a run-by. melee / short range attackers won't be able to get past the depot wall to even attack the shredders before getting whipped out and mutas dont have the hp or defence to take them out while taking the damage from it as well as turrets protecting them.

Zerg will never be able to break into a 3rd when the vulnerable entrance can be shut down so easilly.
