-At the start it looked and felt like cnc3 with the mass phoenixs etc (I do realise that these are noob battles), but after a minute it felt very starcraft-esque, especially the zerg bases -Ultras look so freaking awesome, they just bash into that cc and tear it apart -I lol'd hard at the 2 ghosts scaring off the zerg player and his 9 (yes 9) ultras -I HAVE NEVER FUCKING WANTED SC2 MORE THAN RIGHT NOW OMGOGMGOMG | ||

What did you not understand about a casual ladder for casual players that don't want to play on the fastest speed? I don't see what is hard to comprehend about it; yes, it won't be anything that most TL members will be interested in, but then again it isn't made for you either. | ||

No, but before the other 2 ghosts came the zerg was running his ultras away and swung back in when the other 2 ghosts came down uncloaked, then they cloacked and blocked the ramp. | ||

i find it really baffling that there is no footage of the original baller units? are they just trying to keep these oldies-but-goodies hidden away from the public or have i missed a video or what?! | ||

The ultras look cool but walks like babies that just learn to walk while moving, they are also not as smooth in their attack movement as other units. They look amazing though! Mothership looks... like a cute feature. That's about it - doesn't resemble of a starcraft unit to me yet. Finally the game is played at fastest(?) and I think that's why these videos gave a great impression to me. Even though the micro or skill level of the video might not be that good, it looks so much more fun than on the Battle Reports! | ||

I hope they add something extra to the Hellion, while it's cool, I feel it needs some sort of mechanic to be on par with the Vulture and to possibly help Terran with map control mines or the suggested napalm trace would be really nice in my opinion | ||

Those were corrupters but i dunno what makes it seem like they were one-shotting since that was a big ass bunch of them. But they are supposed to be very strong anti-air - but I did wonder why the void rays didnt turn into stationary defense?

Mh thats probably true, sounds like a blizzardish thing to do, since Ultralisks do extra dmg (-> special attack) vs buildings | ||

I really hope they remove that damn engine sound from the hellions as well. Damn annoying hearing them driving around. | ||

No really a turret, but a small goo that shoots. Have you seen the video on HD? See when corrupters kill the void rays again. | ||

1. What the bloody hell was that mothership whirlpool??? 2. The attack animation of the zealot looks decent now. Running is still bad imo. 3. Forget about zealot movement, ultralisk movement is the worst I have seen in the game so far. In BW when you saw the ultralisk running towards your marines you thought "that thing will soon be smashing them" while now it looks like it's never gonna reach its target. It barely moves its legs and i think it will look even funnier when speed is researched. A giant behemoth with tiny legs. T_T | ||

However, am I the only one that is bothered by the command center lifting off? It just bounces into the air, like it has a spring under it. I keep expecting a "boing" sound effect. Also the ultralisks swinging around at 120 rpms. Maybe they should turn down their rotation speed to about a third and then widen their attack arc so that they don't need to directly face whatever they are attacking. | ||

-If you look closely one of the immortals has a movement bug (around 5:00 in the first vid) -I like the burning death animations from dying in flame. -The sound of buildings cloaking and uncloaking could get annoying -I love how banelings roll again (they didn't in br2 and br3) -Corruptor ability is a gimmick -Mutalisk animation looks cool, it will be a shame when they are all clumped together though -Warp gates are a bit visually distracting, maybe the blackhole could only appear when units are warping units in -Antigravity is a bit too distracting -Spine crawler attack is less ambiguous now, better for the audience -Broodlord looks really pathetic when it flaps -Immortal attack animation looks cool Overall the game looks great | ||

Edit: watched in HD and you can see the units easily, although this may be a problem for future vods of games if they are not in HD. | ||

I'm hoping we will be watching most vods as actual replays in-game with real time rendering. 10000% better than a vod. (As long as they decide to add sound recording) (Also.. will probably require blizzard to allow replays to be 'locked' in some way to only allow playback from the observers chosen view with no stats shown or pro's will not allow their replays to be shown because their build orders etc will be too well analyzed by people). | ||
