I'm gonna doubt the legitimacy of these. Blizzard wouldn't "release" so many units at once.

I'm looking forward to a new game that is not retarded (sensor dome).

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 know, the old StarCraft units look absolutely AMAZING compared to the new ones.

what the fuck are you talking about o_oV
Why is the 2008 Honda Civic so ugly!?
I know, the old 1975 civic looks absolutely AMAZING compared to the new ones.

Does that make any fucking sense?

No.

There's no denying that some of the models are just so shitty in terms of appearance, e.g. tank, ghost, dt's weapon wtf? What's with these bulky models too? Did the developers recently watch Transformers and decide it would add to the "cool" factor? -__-

I would have never guessed that was a DT and the HT looks meh. The Ghost also looks awful. Granted, that is probably what the Ghost would look like if they enlarged the original sprite but they really don't look the way I would have envisioned them from their unit portrait. Needs more black/dark colors on their uniform. Seriously, what assassin would want to wear white tights?

Here is what my post was mainly referring to, as you would have known if you had looked at who I was quoting:

"WHY THE MODELS SO UGLY?!
i wish they'd stick to the starcraft theme i know and love T_T"

Your example of the Honda Civic illustrates my point exactly. If I were to say "The 1975 Civic is a much better car than the 2008 Civic" you would probably laugh in my face. Same thing with the SC units.

All I'm trying to say is that the new units look a hell of a lot better to me than the old ones. I don't expect blizzard to shit out perfect 3D models of units right away, I have faith that they will make the units looks great in the end. It's especially annoying that the same people who are big supporters of "we don't care about the graphics as much as the gameplay" are the same ones screaming "ZOMG THE NEW UNITS ARE UGLY!" Give me a break.

[edit] [I hope ] what you said about the sensor dome vs scanner is true. Terran should be a little more in line with the other races on major things like checking tech, etc. I still think there should be clean ways to scout for all races though, that don't require a complete tech switch for one unit (corsair), that leaves you open to the tech you are checking for by the time you get it.

I do hope that's not the new design of the dark templar, it looks like some creep from WC3 combined with a wow raidset. ;P
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 ).
