Also an infested protoss is bound to happen at some point (my bet is on aldaris, i dont think he's really dead.) uhh when was he almost dead? he was alive when zergs final mission was going on. I don't recall that kerry killed him, just went after the UED. and killed everysingle one of them. | ||

That was near the end of the Broodwar Protoss Campaign. | ||

Also, Karune said this on the matter a long time ago: We are planning to explore the mysteries surrounding the Xel'naga for the single player campaign. In the campaign you will encounter several unique units that would not otherwise be seen in multiplayer. | ||

So I really expect hybrids in SP. I don't see any chances of hybrids being a playable MP race, though. That would have to happen in a separate expansion pack since Blizzard can't possibly hope to create and balance that race anytime soon. Balancing 4 races to the expected level (comparable to SCBW) is almost impossible. I would really like to be able to choose from 4 races, but not without great balance. Blizzard probably thinks like this too (considering how they try to make the game competitive). They won't spend the time balancing the 3 races and then suddenly add in a fourth race, messing up the whole balance of the game. /rant | ||

Blizzard is so focused on balancing the game and making it viable for e-Sports that it's inconceivable that they would turn the game on its head upside-down by adding a 4th race 2-4 years after the game is released. By adding a 4th race, you are creating 6 more matchups that have to be balanced, not counting 2v2, not to mention map dynamics. | ||

Adding the hybrid and any of it's special actions to multiplayer would create unfairness or create more of a "ums feel" to the multiplayer competitive dimension - like if u gotta sacrifice 2 zeals, 2 probes and a pylon to warp in a hybrid. Besides, the Hybrid prolly isn't going to be the emergeance of another race, just 1-2 units if that, prolly just 1 particular unit, like zeal/hydra hybrid etc. Like someone stated, it'll prolly be more of a 'seek and destroy' mission, trying to kill the hybrids before they multiply too much. I mean, Kerrigan and Duran were hybrids of Terran/Zerg.. They didn't spawn another race. I think another interesting dilemma for SC2 will be the arrival or return of the Xel'NaGa and seeing what they do with current situations. Keep in mind, they're pretty weak. They're kinda like scientists, rather than warriors. From reading the race-history of the Protoss, when the Xel'Naga left, they felt betrayed and started destroying/attacking the xel'naga for abandoning them. So apparently they don't have some great "nuke" weapon they can use to fight off Protoss/Zerg or even Terran.. Although, who knows, maybe Blizz will expand their technology, making it seem like they've been away for generations developing new weapons and tactics. p.s. xel'naga wouldn't regard this hybrid as a "perfect race", like Zeratul mentioned after discovering the hybrid, it's an abomination. The xel'naga referred to the Zerg as being their most perfect creation, as read from the history of the Zerg. For some really F'd up reason, they thought the Protoss was a failed experiment, which is why they left. I couldn't imagine.. A race with such technology, such power and pride to defend their territory/homeland.. and they were a mistake compared to a disease like, insect-like race that just wants nothing but to expand, multiply and consume everything around it, almost absorbing it into it's being.. p.p.s. Race history's can be found @ http://sclegacy.com/feature/8-scencyclopedia/275-race-histories they're good reads for fans of the story line. gL | ||

Humans do not live for several millenia, nor can they resist infestation without any consenquences. As such, nobody really knows what he is. | ||

I don't really watch pro WC3, and I can only recall seeing Orc and Night Elf... they're still putting out balance patches, seven years after its release. Granted, there's quite a bit more factors to deal with in WC3 than SC, so that's probably why it's much harder to get "perfect" balance | ||
