Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can upgrade speed straight away anymore. Zerglings have a bunch of upgrades that are unique to them. I don't think you can upgrade speed until you upgrade some other stuff first. | ||

I don't think you can upgrade speed until you upgrade some other stuff first. That's new. Have you got a source? Definitely haven't heard about that. That would explain the ridiculously late upgrade. Do you know what kind of upgrades would serve as prerequisites? | ||

I just remember watching an FPVOD of a Zerg player; in the video he clicked on the spawning pool and I think he had the option to upgrade +1 attack not speed. That stuck in my head because obviously it's pretty significant. It was a while ago though, so it also may have changed. | ||

1. yes it was a great BR#2 2. yes we want a BR#3 but I don't think there'll be one, now it's just the beta 3. if there is one, we want it soon! at most 2 weeks' wait 4. yes it takes 7+ hrs to dll this friggin BR  5. The banelings were, to my surprise, much more useful and powerful (their explosions were like two siege tanks'!) and so were the roaches actually (can almost replace hydras) 5. ...well, I don't play terran but I can see david wasn't doing too good... as for matt, jeez man what were u thinking of doing with 2 hatches? in the first 2 mins ur supposed to get ur expansion, and within 4 u shud have built ur 3rd hatch! even with 9overpool to 12hatch u can get them. plus, no lurker, and no spine (no mutas)! now come on, u have plenty of reason to release BR#3 right Blizzard? | ||

It was the same as before: speed right off the bat, and glands at hive tech. But obviously it could have changed since then. | ||

Lurkers are Hive tech now, and since he was allergic to macro there wasn't much chance of that happening. And I'm guessing mutas aren't finished yet so they left them out. | ||

I had no issues with counting how many zerglings were out for an example. Even with a low quality stream. It's even better when you play it, I hate how everyone bitched like shit about this when the problem was just bad quality video... geez | ||

but it's different than WC3 in that it hasn't got heroes with special abilities and items to collect, and it's got a much higher unit cap and number of units in the game. | ||
