It is one of the inventions that launched human civilization and is something we still rely on in the present day but science fiction writers seem to really, really despise it. Not just SC2 but other games, movies and stuff. We were down to 2 wheeled units in WoL. Hellions said fuck it and started walking in HotS. Maybe this is the siege tank's turn in LotV? This sounds like a walking siege tank. Speaking about 2 wheel units, I'd love a machine gun bicycle. | ||

If there are new Tier 1 and/or 2 units, hopefully early game (so to speak) will last longer. | ||

Not as long as people are able to take 3 bases in under 10 minutes. It's more of an economy (particularly expectation of economy) problem amongst the player base. | ||

SC2 needs something big and literally gamechanging. Listen: Last chance, Blizzard. Surprise me. | ||

Infested Siege Tank that shoots banelings lol Honestly though, It sounds like a Factory unit to me. Possibly a deployable one like the Tank? | ||

Blizzard went a bit overboard with buffing early game defense for different races, alongside maps increasing their rush distances. Basically why you almost never see 1-base timings anymore. Since everyone goes FE, you get into mid-game a lot faster. Getting bigger army sizes faster = higher difficulty to exploit an opponent's weaknesses. If there's no real incentive to hit a timing, everything devolves into an economic arms race. Thus, we get triple CC builds, fast triple hatch, etc. as standard builds instead of them being considered extremely greedy. Changes/additions like the queen range buff and photon overcharge are the biggest offenders. Blizzard would have been better off giving Z and P early game offensive power to better balance the offensive pressure of their opponents instead of buffing defense. I realize that sounds weird in light of PvP 4gate shenanigans, but that's a different (albeit related) problem revolving around complete circumvention of rush distances -- plus there's better ways to address it than a one-click cannon activation that affects all match ups. | ||

P sounded like a short anvil hit or eventually some sort of a "mechanic laser" Z sounded like a well IDK - some "sea" monster with either a long range, or slow "guiding" missiles of some sort Where's part 1 though ?  | ||

The second 'long-range' sound effect was part 1. | ||
