EPTHonestly I miss the Firebat. I think they ought to replace the Reaper's silly Halo dual wielding pistols (I guess in SC1 you had guys with rifles shooting down gigantic space cruisers...and hydras squirting on tanks) with the Firebat's flamethrowers, but anyway as that's out of the question would units like the Firebat, and "neutral" flavor units, be in the game at all? Has anything been said or shown?
"Neutral" Units?

As for the game, I'm sure the campaign will include usage of scenario-dependant neutral 'mercenary' units and characters, as well as random 'creep' camps, but since I'm pretty sure that even while the editor does have the possibility to add experience gain to hero-tagged units, this won't be used in the single player campaign, so I wouldn't be expecting WC3-esque creeping or anything similar to that. | ||

'm pretty sure they've already stated that all the SC:BW units will be present in the editor of SC2, as well as other single-player only-units and other discarded units. Very cool, thanks. hence it won't be in normal games I wasn't asking about normal games | ||

And I have no doubt that these can be used in the map editor for custom games. | ||

Then again, I'm a n00b and wouldn't know balance if it hit me in the face.  | ||

There's really nothing wrong with the option to have neutral units in a map btw, you don't have to use it, up to the map maker really. Armies of Exigo had a few maps with neutral units blocking expos / merc camps (majority of maps were just like regular BW maps, but nothing wrong with variety). | ||

They probably won't be implemented in Blizzard normal maps, but user mapmakers probably will implement them after the game is out for a while. | ||

as for models it won't be near as much as War3 I don't think but the map editor is supposed to be superior in every way. Besides, people always imported their own models to War3 maps too | ||

It's a bit of a nightmare to balance with all the racial differences when applied to killing neutral creatures and potential to abuse AI. Multiplayer games should be just that, neutral units are a gimmick and their role is more effectively achieved by 0 value mineral patches and neutral buildings that must be destroyed. | ||
