Why is it all so blue? Where is the yellow?
Not that that would matter a lot, but still.

Colossus, mothership, reapers and now these star relics that cloak your base. Seems very similar to CnC.
I'm not saying this is all bad, but I hope it will have the SC feel to it.

As much as I like the dark blue, DT feel. Some more yellow protoss units would be more than welcome.

i like the blue more and dont forget it prolly shows the influence the dark templars now have on the protoss society and technology.

Btw its not like CnC invented cloak, also it doesnt really matter because not everything CnC did is bad and because it will be used and work totaly different in sc2 (we dont even know in which way buildings can be cloaked).

Who says you can't micro with lasers?... O_o
AND they are colored blue because they are supposed to be Dark..
When terran and zerg comes you would probably forget about what you said of it being too WC3ish..

You can't cannon rush that early since to phase the cannons, you need the phase prism, a Robotics unit. Teching to Robotics take a while... and who knows, the phasing might take a while as an upgrade or whatever.

@Tubster68

You sound the same as the people who beta tested war3, sucking up where it is.

"You have to play the game as it how it is supposed to be"
"You'll see the game is totally different in the next patch. The version you're playing is almost a month old."

Their track record with Warcraft 3 is pretty bad. And the staff is slightly different than that of their previous games. Unfortunately, despite the fact that Blizzard has a very talented group of developers, they severely lack people in their employ who can skillfully play the game at it's highest levels...well maybe Pillars can..and analyse what works and what doesn't. They most definitely NEED the derogatory comments that are being put forth by us, because these are vital to starcraft 2 being released a good game.

And guess what, they never fully restyled war3 and look what kind of garbage we got. Starcraft fanatics are just afraid history is gonna repeat itself...

It's hard to say what effect continuous laser 0 cooldown attacks would have on gameplay, but from what it looks like some micro (such as moving injured units to the back) would be negated as the laser would just follow them. As for the cartoony graphics, I think we are all just used to playing the same game for so many years. But yes, the buildings don't seem as sharp. One of the things I dislike the most that no one has mentioned is the view. It really irritates me the way the screen views the map almost directly down instead of a slant. And I know you would be able to change it but this is just something that has always diverted my attention to sitting and watching battles rather than playing the game.

So even if the Zergling or Marine doesn't have a soul, the Soul Hunter could still adapt the living force of any biological or mechanical energy left in the unit and augment its attack power with that. It doesn't literally have to take something's soul out - that's just the unit description. Maybe that's just how the Protoss portray it.

And by the way, Blizzard is hiring high-level gamers to help balance and work the game for them, so we won't have that problem.

Exactly, "Starcraft" fans were let down by Warcraft because it wasn't like SC. I for one expected to be more like War2 and I was pleased with the result. They never planned to make it like SC and have stated this plenty of times. It kills me that every thread turns into a WC3 vs SC with everyone bitching about how SC2 is gonna suck fot stupid reason. "Oh no the terrain looks like WC3." Its fucking grass, How else do you want it to look.

If SC is so perfect, then you can keep on playing it after SC2 but shut up and leave the rest of us to enjoy whats coming.

I don't get why u cant micro with lasers? You can still hit and run vs melee units I would assume. You should also still be able to rotate hunt units out of range just like before. I can see what people are saying about it making things hard to see but micro should still be basicly the same right?

It'll be harder to micro vs. lasers as running low hp units away, they will still get tagged by the long ass laser. Also I think maybe the mass of green lasers will kinda make it harder to distinguish whats going on

or you could play your WC3 and leave this alone for us to complain.

It's Starcraft 2, not an expansion pack to Starcraft 1. Get over it people.

The map does seem relatively bright for Starcraft though (the one where it shows the Soul Hunters).

I wonder how this whole Soul Hunter thing will turn out, seems interesting.

why is every new nugget of scii info trolled on by the same few people? just don't buy the damn game if it isn't to your liking.

however, my only gripe is that the names of the new units are very uncreative.

After watching the video again my biggest complaint is it seems a bit hard to follow the battles. The continous lasers don't help that at all either. I think one of the reasons is the units seem to take a real long time to die but that might just be because the game is slower and they purposely make the units stronger to keep them on screen. But if this game is actually going to turn into a spectator sport the battles need to be crisp and easy to follow.

I don't see how complaining about the game is trolling. Obviously people are complaining because they want to buy the game, they just want to make sure they like it. This is the same stupid attitude as when people that complain about their country are told to move somewhere else. Maybe they want to stay and improve it? Blizzard should be reading these forums and actually thinking about our criticisms, same with popular Korean forums.

i don't deem those complaints trolling. i feel the criticisms about too many lasers/effects making battles hard to follow for spectators are valid and constructive. however, when all some people do is go: -_-;;;;; IT WILL BE A WC3 IN SPACE!!!1111ONE!!!11 it gets very annoying.

I think it looks awesome, I just think Soul Hunters seem like they wouldn't be needed, and all the explosions look like it is in slow motion.

Hum, I don't remember being able to cloak buildings in CnC3, were you? O_O

Or were you only able to in earlier versions or something? Meh, I've never really played CnC games much.

How could you be pleased if you were expecting a WC2 style game? Or did you mean you were expecting a WC2 style game but ended up enjoying what War3 was instead (cause it's uh quite different from war2 IMO).
