Siege tanks shown - still the same type of behavior where they can lock down - take out zealots really quickly - new protoss unit - called immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.

IntoTheWow is awesome32277 Posts May 18 2007 14:13 GMT #26 3:14 - Protoss colossus - huge unit that can blast out dual lasers and use long legs to traverse differences in terrain height - in the demo two of them obliterate about fifty or so zerglings. 3:10 - Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability. Zerg start coming in, giant worms pop out of ground unleasing zerglings. Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard.

Last Romantic United States20661 Posts May 18 2007 14:13 GMT #27 Heh. Now that they have Immortals, Terrans need SPARTANS

Rotodyne United States2263 Posts May 18 2007 14:14 GMT #28 toss has another imba unit - colossus

IntoTheWow is awesome32277 Posts May 18 2007 14:16 GMT #29 3:15 - Zerglings can mutate into suicidal bomb things thar roll across the ground - very powerful explosions. Colossus using new IK system to move across differences in terraing height. Colossus extremley weak against air strike - New unit for protoss - Pheonix - can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast - but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.

IntoTheWow is awesome32277 Posts May 18 2007 14:18 GMT #36 3:16 - showing space platform environment, land mass floating over planets / nebulae. Showing phoenix units failing to destroy terran battle cruisers - new protoss unit - Warprey - flying unit that does increased damage the longer it hits a target with it's continuous blue laser.

intelinside United States982 Posts May 18 2007 14:21 GMT #39 blizzard pimin again!!!!

IntoTheWow is awesome32277 Posts May 18 2007 14:23 GMT #40 3:18 - warprey also very effective against structures - very vulnerable to small unit fire - shws warpreys getting wiped out by terran marines. Physics system lets debris from warpreys roll down a ramp. Showing one more unit - warped in in a serious of cubes - giant floating base - called a protoss mothership - can only have 1 at a time - cost big resources - special abilities include timebomb that slows all enemy missiles inside - shows terran missle launcher shooting in projectiles that stop in the field before they reach the ship - when field ends missiles drop the ground - planet cracker attack - giant lasers stream from ship to ground - ship can be moved around while planet cracker laser is active - the ship looks like a metallic, triangular sand dollar - mothership can create a black hole anywhere it wannts to - creates distortion that actually sucks ships in and destroys them - in the demo the black hole destroyed four terran battle cruisers in about ten seconds.

IntoTheWow is awesome32277 Posts May 18 2007 14:26 GMT #44 3:23 - now showing terran and protoss fight - marines and zealots clashing on the ground - mothership and battle crusers in the air - framerate seems relatively stable as more units stream in - hard to tell - about 100 units on screen right now - a few of the new protoss units just came in - nuclear launch detected warning - every unit on screen destroyed - three nukes were launched at once - then zergs rush in and spell "GG" while turning into suicidal bombs.

NuclearAntelope United States1369 Posts May 18 2007 14:41 GMT #52 no new race? this is more like an expansion pack than a new game :\. hate to be ungrateful to blizzard but I think a fourth race would add so much more strategic depth to the game...I hate to see it skipped.

BuGzlToOnl United States5918 Posts May 18 2007 14:43 GMT #53 more units is better than an entirely new race!!
