Then I'm missing something. They can't expect people to derp their mutas into a mine that they can see xD | ||

They can't expect people to derp their mutas into a mine that they can see xD that is completly depend on how the mine works exactly. Maybe it is around mutaspeed and activates at 6range, so it becomes very hard to split against it and just zones out areas very costefficiently. Maybe it's just cheap, so that you can massproduce it in ways, that it just becomes humanly impossible to avoid them. Maybe they just have a huge radius, so that they pretty much always get the damage in. So many possibilities, no real use discussing if this mine will be good or bad against something. | ||

But cannons have high HP and marines move pretty fast with stim dude, it's not even close to the same. A mine has very little hp and goes off only once. If it can be seen and it doesn't "attack move", its pretty much worthless. Just like detected burrowed banelings. | ||

I can envisage this being something similar to the tomahawk launcher in C&C generals or the V3 from Red Alert2. I believe Dustin Browder happened to work on both these games so wouldn't be out of his scope at any rate. Tomahawk launcher ![[image loading]](http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/5/4333/thumb_620x2000/American_Tomahawk.jpg) V3 Launcher ![[image loading]](http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/10/9108/Soviet-V3Launcher.1.png) An extremely long range, high damage slow moving projectile intended to take out static targets like base defences, sieged tanks, buildings, etc. I expect mobile units can probably be microed out of the way to avoid the blast, making it a true "siege unit" and suspectible to direct assault unlike siege tanks whose attacks are unaviodable and instant. | ||

What you propose is just BW with new graphics. no, it's not. what he is proposing is a sequel to BW. (instead of a very different new game that just rides on the brand.) to just discount every argument that would make SC2 a better game by introducing vertain aspects of BW is a really cheap way to argument your point that SC2 is great as it is (if it can even be called an argument) as for the_matrix + gackt: I think most units listed are pretty much unfixable/hard to fix designwise (colossus, void ray, corruptor) or don't fit the race (marauder) I think the baneling could be fixable somehow, though, by lowering its damage and/or changing its role slightly. I also don't agree with removing the sentry as I like it aside from force fields (which should be either of much, much lower duration, destructible with low HP (e.g. ~75), or be replaced with another spell) I also think that warp in makes protoss rather boring and that it should be either turned into late game tech or removed, allowing for much more interesting units. | ||

Different game --> different "best") Also noone around here has a lot of confidence in a guy, whose first post in an SC2 forum is about turning SC2 into Broodwar. Seems like you just clicked the wrong button, there is a Broodwar forum, go and use it. So what? His best game he's worked on was Vigilante 8 and did a good job with Red Alert 2. Either way Red Alert 2 was as unbalanced as one game can be and all of the other games he designed were arcade type strategy games with no micro, macro or strategy. He is not the guy who knows anything on how to continue in the footsteps of Brood War. Shane Dabiri and Rob Pardo should have been the game designers and not Dustin Browder. | ||

i like broodwar in terms of design way more, but especially in terms of being beginner-friendly sc2 beats bw with ease and it's currently overall more successful in e-sports too. apart from that it's not like every single bw-unit had it's use and was perfectly designed or balanced. to be honest i think a redesign of the colossus is way more needed than a redesign of the carrier. as many have said, increase it's basic attack-range, make interceptors bulkier and/or let them spread better and the carrier is probably fine. it's not like it's impossible that the tempest will become awesome, but the main problem of the carrier imho is the colossus and that it will be hard to change that with the tempest. he had to be able to deal with some units that the colossus cant, but are common in matchups, which mainly leaves air. but i highly doubt that toss will get a tool to get air-dominance in mid-late as long as the colossus exists. or he had to be more effective than the colossus (which is even more probable and wouldnt change the problem), or not be countered by exactly the same units. e.g. if vipers become popular in the mu, limiting it's tongue's use to ground units.

Here is the catch; the first time you research it it costs 100,100. Then the next time you get it its 200,200, thien 300,300 and you can research it as many time as you want. Then TvT you can just seige your tanks in your base and scan wherever you need them to attack. edit: you're welcome blizzard | ||

For the Zerg race I'd like to see the baneling, roach and corrupter gone and the lurker and 2 more units introduced. For the Protoss race I'd like to see the Colossus and VoidRay gone and the reaver and one more units introduced. For the Terran race I'd like to see the Marauder, Viking and Thor gone and firebat and valkyrie introduced. I'd also like to see fungal growth be a slow spell, rather than immobilizing spell. Something like 30% to 50% reduction in speed for 4 seconds. I'd also like to see storm do 110 damage over 4 seconds. On the general gameplay side of things I'd like to see unit selection points to be bigger so they don't clump up so much. for fucks sake, just go back to brood war already. the game is still alive and kicking. | ||
