I think you've hit the nail on the head with this one. Blizzard, please think about this one!


Yeah, it's too fricking flashy. Looks like the same animation as the Assassin from Guild Wars. Zealots are not ninjas. Dark Templars are. But then again, Dark Templars are more direct with instant kills.

yea blizz should make sc2 ultrarealistic, so when a nuke goes off both players have to wait 10minutes until the dust cloud has disappeared!

When we look at Zealot's, it's important to remember they are effectively berserkers. So the idea of them as abrupt, brutal fighters rather than the careless finesse of the Dark Templar makes sense to me.

speaking of the zealot, i think the psi blades are too stubby and fat, also they are just ground troops, not berserkers.

+why would any technologically advanced civilization have a berserker?

colourful schemes such as WOW and war3 appeal more to asian markets so scii will most likely follow suit.

they are berserkers

through the khala they channel their rage, thats what zealots are described as


" Through the path of the Khala, they learn to hone their innate battle rage to a fine edge." -http://www.battle.net/scc/protoss/units/zealot.shtml

and not to totally hijack this thread, but what is that red thing that appears around the necks of zealot portraits in SC?

It's the bomb that says no when they wanted to talk about their job to their families and friends.

It must have been hard being a test Zealot for SC2, having been unable to talk about this game and their jobs for all these years.

Gotta keep a game secret somehow!

It isn't supposed to pack a punch. They don't punch at all, they are using weightless weapons designed to slice through the enemy without relying on momentum to do damage.

Their attacks are fluid and smooth because that would be the most effective means of combat when it comes to a weapon designed to cut right through.

Also, for whomever it was that argued that lots are supposed to be berserkers, I disagree. They train for many years to hone their skills to the point when the raging frenzy can be channeled into a controllable combat style. They may be berserker-esque, but they are not wild and random about fighting.

Just two throw in my own two cents...

Its not Cartoony. Its just bulkier than the original Stracraft we're so used too. The lighting created through the 3d game engine they are using emphasizes the curves, as all game engines do. The colors, the models and the terrain all add up to the same thing. Its bulkier, different to the slimer, 2d art we're used too.

There are a few people who have placed their faith in Blizzard, that they will listen and adjust the earlier ingame graphics to fit our needs accordingly. THIS I highly doubt - Starcraft 2 is within a year of its release date, they've already shown so much of the Terran units through theatrical previews and ingame demonstrations, that to backtrack now and revamp all those prior units, is just too costly. The most they'd do is fix the seige tank, which seems to be the main focus of this controversy.
My only real pleasure was my days of schooling...and oh it was so sweet, to test myself against my teachers, and to fail sometimes without much consequence.

That was the first thing I thought of when I first played GunBound... it even shoots little blue exploding spheres.

The fucking logo itself is already cartoon-ish. Look at the lighting, especially of the "II".
It looks like a lollipop or some plastic jewelry from a kellogs box.

SC2.. is cartoony look at all the terran models, zealots, blabla it doesn't look right. The main aspect about starcraft was, all units were cool and badass. Right now, SC2 can't recapture the cool-factor starcraft has.
"You wanna piece of me, boy." That is badass.
"My life for Aiur" > "I am the blades of Aiur." Dude, you on crack?

I am going to repeat it again.
There is no coolness! When I first saw an archon, I was like fuck, that must be an bad ass weapon.
And there are so many more examples. Right now I see pussy weapons and pussy galore all over the place, the only weapon I was like, that is cool, was the stalker.

They even managed to fuck up siege tanks! Well, most people agree with me on this

To say it blunt, why people talk about cartoony, is to put it simply, there is no coolness in this game. And perhaps most of the units are way too fucking round. There are no sharp curves.

aah well shoot me, starcraft 2 will never surpass Sc with Browder
