Obviously we've all only seen pre-alpha/alpha game footage and screenshots.
But with the DT being replaced by a stalker, and the dragoon by an immortal, do you think blizzard is going to include many units that are cloaked in this game?
Why remove the DT and replace it with a stalker? The only reason I can see is to "innovate" and make the game n00b friendly...
So what do you guys think: a) they will keep around the same amount of cloaked units b) they will get rid of many cloaked units c) there will be more cloaked units in sc2 (lol, yeh right)
|
Hopefully each race willl have at least one cloacked unit if not things aren't really going to be the same. Cloacked units are good for the game since it makes for a larger varity of what kind of strategies you can use.
Without the cloacked units that the game isn't going to be as much fun. No more dt/luker/wraith rushes. :p

well teh stalkers can blink... they adding in a new game element
|
well..just thinking, but at the end of the gameplay video, the three ghosts that nuked the whole battle scene, uncloaked, right? so wouldn't that mean there are cloaked units in sc2?
|
God imagine stalkers being cloaked... that'll be massively imba haha

he didnt say get rid of all the cloaked units
he said most of them...

C) There were so few cloacking units in BW. How can SC2 not have at least that many? What was it four units; DT, Obs, Wraith, Ghost, Lurker if you consider it cloacking.
Cloaked units are important. It adds a demension to the game without saddeling it to the map balance and design (water units).

Why are they removing the DT?
The Stalker has to be made from a death of a DT so it makes sense that the DT is not going anywhere.
|
I hope dt's wont be gone. I cant imagine Zeratul (since we know he's returning) in a stalker. If anything, they would remove DA's, so they can keep dt's. I think they are gonna keep at least 1 cloaked unit per race. Making cloaked units available earlier game would also be cool, so that there would be more threat of cloaked units rushing bases.
|
wait, where did it say the stalker is replacing the DT? D: from my understanding, the dragoon is to zealot(in sc1 i mean, i know goons wont be present in sc2) as stalker is to dark templar, that is, that dt's become stalkers when they die, not completely replacing them in the game.
edit: tiamat beat me to it :O
|
there won't be dts unless they are going to have like 13-15 units per race. as for claoked units , toss has so much new amazing features , so who knows, maybe zerg's going go get cloaked in sc2 or terran will cloak its shit to pieces
|
Nooo, DTs are my Hero!! Anyways..
Less cloaked Units could take out the scan..
|
It's possible with the whole super-race-differentiation thing that cloaking will be concentrated more in one race, probably Terran since they had it the most pre-BW.
|
How do the wraith and the ghost overcompensate the protoss ability to cloak whole armies? The Arbiter is THE unit of cloaking. If anything, cloaking is protoss.
|
Well the zergs have burrow. So there would have to be some kind of detector unit or zerg will rape. And really, you can't add a decetor unit for 1 thing.
Edit: We know ghosts can cloack as well.

I don't think DT's will be gone, considering the facts that the protoss campaign will most likely take place on the DT homeworld, stalkers are dead DT's (where do they come from if they're not ingame to die? :p) and the chance of Blizz just scrapping a cool character like Zeratul seems pretty small as well.
|
who said the dts will gone? the official site says stalker is a dark templar technology. they wont replace dts.
|
Maybe they will make SC2 "noob friendly" (as said above) so ppl plays it and keeps playing, and then they make some SC2 Expansion (like they did with bw) with new units and more complex gaming
Who knows?
|
The only thing that i dont like about the stalkers is the fact that they can use them to make zeratul the new fenix.
|
Starcraft without ninjas? omg. Or maybe they want to copy SC->BW progress and do the same
