Oh sweet, I was never really sure what the Dark Templar unit looked like. And the Ghost still looks badass.

Although I gotta say, that definitely does not look like a good magazine layout. Cutout images on cyan background? Scattering of captions?

Well if they have the sensor tower would that not mean maybe the other races have some jammer or something to counter it???

I think the sensor dome is a nerfed terran scan. Think about it:

1) can only see units, not buildings and tech.
2) will probably make a scan in a certain radius.

My guess anyway. Because the terran scan was kind of cheesy in the lucky way a terran could scout a build.


About the units:

Transformer: meh, ok sure. But I don't like the artwork on it.

Thor, huk? Is this the terrans mothermech?

Planetary fortress, sure. Terran was the most defensive race afterall. As long as it's not too powerful on defense.
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

HT and DT:
Models are totally ugly. Bleh! T_T

Planetary Fortress:
Good idea IMO. Like someone said in the B.Net thread; Its not worse than building 7 cannons to defend a Nexus, because I hope this upgrade will cost resources. And its a lot better lategame than bunkers that needs supply units.

Thor:
Looks totally awesome! But Im slightly skeptical to these War3HeroLikeSuperUnits. Time will tell if they enhance the gameplay or not.

Sensor Dome:
My first impression is that these must be very powerful for the Terran players. No surprise drops or anything will work against them. Seems like a legit ingame maphack.

Viking Fighter:
Its original and looks ok.

Supply Depot:
Less stuck units in the base and easier to wall in makes this a good feature IMO.
mostly harmless

The supposed new terran units look cool. I doubt the Thor is a terran superweapon, probably just a very powerful ground unit. iirc, the blizzard manual stated that reavers are capable of taking entire bases out by itself. The idea of the the viking fighther is awesome, as well as the supply depots dropping below ground (props to the guy who predicted that!). Plantetary fortress is... ok I guess. Seems like too easy of a way to secure a base, though. Maybe you'll only be allowed to have one at a time or something, like the mothership.

I remember when I was reading the Starcraft manual, I looked at the goliath and I was amazed at it's size. It looked absolutely massive when I read the manual, far larger than tanks. Then I actually played the game and was rather disappointed.

Hopefully the Thor is the same, if it's real

Sensor dome would be extremely imba if its effect was permanent, so hopefully not. And first thing that came into my mind when I saw that Thor thingy was 'Krogoth' (anyone that's played TA will know what I mean ).

Yes - -;;

I don't mind terribly if they are just a replacement for the goliaths.. But I don't want a 500000000000000000000000000 hp gigantic walking deathlaser robot like what I remember the krogoth was.

Took like 15 minutes to build as well =[

Definatly. Also like the Aoen Illuminate super unit in SupCom. I can't recall the name.

EDIT: I just noticed the burrowing depot is in the sensor dome pic.

The Planetary fortress isn't actually a bad idea. I could be wrong though. Depends on what it does other than adding defenses. Even then those defenses can't be too strong.

The High Templar and Dark Templar models are disgustingly bad. The DT's moreso. Part of the reason they were cool in the first place was their cape. Now it just looks like a WC3 reject.

Viking fighter is kind of outlandish, but could be cool.

I actually don't like the depots. If the depots submerge automatically then how do you make walls with them? Plus they don't look that good.

I know we can't take the descriptions in the article too seriously, but Thor? Lose this shit.

Stuff like the Sensor drone is why Command and Conquer isn't a good game.

The new Ghost model is an abortion of so-called design.

Really though... here's my message to the developers:

Stop trying to make StarCraft like WarCraft 3!

Stop trying to make StarCraft like Command and Conquer!

Neither of those games has had the popularity of StarCraft. Neither of those games holds a candle to StarCraft's game play. And I'd still rather have StarCraft's graphics than the graphics for either WC3 or the new Command and Conquer games. Despite the legitimately good aspects of their design, WarCraft III and the new Command and Conquer games are a step backward from StarCraft. StarCraft is good because it's StarCraft. For fuck's sake can the developers please make StarCraft II?

Depressing article.
