This is just a custom game someone made to emulate the new HotS units. The stats on the units are as accurate as they possibly could be. This is not HotS footage.
Here is a video of the arc shield in a rush
There is currently a HotS custom game live on the SEA and NA server if you search for HotS custom you will find it on 4 different maps. The stats are fairly accurate for the most part so I thought I'd make a little video to show you guys a few things I noticed about the shredder. I dropped it a couple times and then did a defense with it to show you how powerful this unit can be. Since I play terran I'm excited ^_^
I'm making a couple of extra videos about a few more of the intersting abilities / units in the custom game. Rather than flooding team liquid with a bunch of threads I'll post them here.
Battlecruiser speed boost - Funny as hell to watch almost as fast as mutas

It's obvious this will get changed, but don't try to justify Blizzard by giving them the good old "This isn't even beta yet!" considering all the terrible things that went into WOL beta after waiting over 9000 years.
I would like to see how this progresses though, the idea is.. okay.. but the way it's being done idk just makes for much more bland game play. Well he has shredders up over here, so don't expect anything to happen or go over there for a while! seems like a bad design to me :/ But we will see how it goes~
They already stated at Blizzcon the counters displayed are more likely more extreme than they will be at release.... who cares how potent they are NOW. You should only argue the conceptual parts about them, not the balance of them, imo. They can easily tweak it to do slower damage, different radius, etc. If it's too strong vs Zerg and too weak vs Protoss, I'm sure they could make it so it completely bypasses shields, kinda like plague did in BW. Just saying...
run your drones away, kill with roaches, terran loses 300 minerals/300 gas. you can't pull this off as harassment early game because with that much investment, zerg can just go kill you.
On second thoughs, this isn't so overpowered because you can run from it, and you just loose mining time as long as you have a way to deal with it. It's not as strong as a helion drop, it's more on the level of a banneling drop.
Doesn't seem too bad to be honest. But I don't think it's another thing that Terran needs in their arsenal. I think it would be much better suited to Protoss whose drop play already isn't that good (in comparison) and would benefit from a unit that's able to zone out areas (think speedling counters vs muta/ling).
