EPT2) Also is it true the infestor has 3 abilities (1 as controling a unit for a specific time and the other two i don't know (BR3))?
3) Can they add a ability to not infest a unit, but anything around a specific area (like a 3m radius ingame)?
[Q] Do infestors still infest?

 2. Yes, I think it's Neural Parasite, Plague and Spawn infested marines (this site is perfect for these kinds of questions: http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Infestor) 3. Up to them obviously ;p | ||

Is plague good enough to function for harassment? Do infestors come out before detection? Do you need to research burrow for them to be effective? Is spawn terran marine as stupid as it sounds? | ||

2) Before mobile detection (in most cases) and after stationary detection (in most cases) though obv. if you're rushing one or the other it might pan out differently. You also have to research to have it do that underground travelling business. 3) Yes lol ._. | ||

Personally I´d be suprised if Infested Terrans A) wouldn´t be in the melee multiplayer (single is all but guarrenteed) B) stay in this form. It´s just too weird. It´d make more sense if they elaborated on Bowders wacky Lore on it "The infestor swallowed Terrans before and vomits them up". I could imagine a Kodo Beast like ability where the infestor swallows a unit on the field and spits it out later. Kinda like a Meatwagon for living enemys. | ||

The infestor does not summon infested terrans. He swallows terrans whole (before the unit is created I believe) and they get infested in his belly. Then later he spews them out onto the battlefield. | ||

Personally I like all of these mines and hallucination are NOTHING like an actual summon spell (IE water element from WC3). same goes for broodlings and target drone (is target drone even in the game any more?), target drone is nothing like a summon either. Broodlings sorta are a summon I guess (although implemented way better than just "hey here are some units outa thin air") | ||

question? does anyone know if Neural Parasite can be used on air units...and if so what would happen if you hit a medivac full of infantry? I remember that if you mind-controlled a shuttle or drop ship you also mind-controlled all units inside. | ||

Seeing how fast the other zerg units are, I kind of get this feeling infestors will be left behind while moving... And if it is really really slow, it could be an easy target for the raven to shoot missiles at... | ||
