It appears that some units, capital units mostly, will be able to fire at two units at once. If you watch the grand finale of the gameplay demo. You will notice two things..
a) The Mothership can target 2 ground targets at the same time.
b) The Terran Battlecruiser and now fire both its Anti Air laser at air units while also firing its Ground laser at ground units, each with separate attack cooldowns.
This absolutely will change some strategies, as you can increase the damage output of some units whenever there are multiple targets to fire at.
I can only wonder how this would effect units like Goliath and Wraiths. You can also notice that the Phoenix in the final battle is firing a "double shot" at the marines while it was only firing a single shot at the mutalisks early on in the demo. Perhaps its just the animation.

It makes sense with the BC, since its a capital ship with its own crew, but notsomuch for the Goliath and Wraith, since they appear to be single-piloted.

THREAD HIJACK!
With the announcement of Sc2, with all the hype and all, what do you think the new "slang" will be for the new Sc2 units?
Colossus = Cols? Cls? Immortal = Immorts? Morts? Tals? Reapers = Reaps? Pers? Rps?(Might be confusing) Stalkers = Kers? Stals? Mothership = Ship? Phoenix = Order of the?(Jk... v_v;), nixs? Warp Ray = WRs? Warps? Phase prism = Prisms? Banelings = BLings? Banes? (BLING RUSH KEKEKEKE) Nydus Worm = Worms?
Forgot some other units.. I think I got them all

Don't hijack threads like that asshole

zeenix no one likes you dont be a cock bag. as for the op, a ton is going to change about the game altogether, we can only wait to find out.

THREAD HIJACK!!11
just kidding.
No really, this is a stickup.
Alright im just rambling at this point.
I think if they feel it is right, they will divide some attacks like they did to the zealot. not really sure what your asking though.

Seems like that would greatly reduce micro effectiveness if it applied to goliaths... you wouldn't have to make the choice whether to fire at lings or muta if both are coming at you, for example... you'd be firing at both. I find this unlikely.
The mothership attacks 2 air units also when it fight the bcs. It appears from watching the battle that if there is only one unit, it can fire both attacks at the same unit for double the power. Maybe it shoots out photons (for lack of a better word) which randomly chooses a closeby target to attack.
Looking closely at the bc firing, it first looks for an air target and shoots it if in range, then looks for a ground target and does the same, all in one firing cycle. It appears to fire at one air enemy the same speed as one air enemy and one ground enemy. It looks like if it is firing at a unit, ground for example, it will not chase after an air unit, and vice versa... so only if both happen to be in range will it do this.

I thought the phoenix could only attack air, when did you see it fire at the marines.. EDIT: I must have missed it earlier, saw it now.
|
Maybe they should make it so the Hero goliaths and wraiths could fire both types of weapons due to being smarter and ordinary goliaths can't.
|
I doubt Blizzard will have the hero units in SC2 as simply powered-up versions of regular units, think more along the lines of Infested Kerrigan, WC3, etc.
(Sorry for putting the words 'SC2', 'Hero units', and 'WC3' in the same sentence)

mothership = motherf***er

mothership = OOO MADDASHIP in excited korean commentator voice, as someone said in another thread. Not really slang, but still funny as hell.

Speaking of heroes wouldn't it be cool for zerg (or any race for that matter, now that I think of it) to be able to upgrade certain units to hero-level units?

That's been done before. It was called Age of Mythology which was from the creators of...none other then...Age of Empires. The exansion pack of AoM contained the Atlantean Race which could turn most of its units into heroes. As I recall, the heroes weren't ... game winning powerful. But the Atlantean Race as a whole, just imba

hey, don't hate on me, I was not even extremely serious about it, it's just a random idea i threw out to try to make the game more interesting and maybe make each race even more unique ( i was thinking if protoss can have a mothership, why not let zerg have something strong and interesting also). I mean there are lots of way this can work, maybe there can be some rare third resource like, terrazine gas (that one new gas in Ghost) or something that is needed for those hero units.
