    Marines get bayonets? I missed that memo. How does that work? More damage to melee units?

    no, its still airborne. watch the part when they warp in the zealots, you can see how high up it is there.

    oh ho ho... the queen is my anti-tank. I usually make 6 of them and research spawn broodling and its an instant tank kill. It can get away quick cause its fast unlike the guardian. Also I like using parasite to spy on the enemy. It's just one in many tactics so I wouldn't say it's a useless unit.

    Nice find, I do agree with what you are saying, it is totally bs. I do think that the marines should have higher damage, but then it means that the reapers should have a lower one. I mean marines also have more range as of now then reapers. So... I guess it is plausible. But it is kind of unrealistic.

    But you can get mutalisks for the same price and quicker. Not to mention having to wait for energy and wait for the broodling ability after you buy it. Their only usefull ability worth the money isn't even that great. You'd be better off just getting defilers. Protecting you're units>killing 1 unit.

    oh i know but mutas take time and might et gunned down. queens its just click, spawn, and get out. i use queens mostly to avoid the anti air attacks. so its great when tanks are assaulting and you dont really have anything to counter except for hydras and lings but they get decimated by tanks with support.

    I know they're very different units, but I'd choose queen over defiler. Just because queen is faster and it flys. I never was good with the defiler, it always got cornered and picked off before I could run or burrow. I probably just have bad tactics..
    Have either queen or defiler been seen or hinted at for SC2?

    i'm pretty sure they're both gone. The succubus is a new zerg caster, maybe the zerg will have 1 more though. I hope defiler. Swarm was great.

    Not much more than speculation has come from Zerg yet. I hope that information comes at blizcon, I am eager to see some Zerg.
    I really hope Ultralisks come back. or at least something similar.

    i wanna see a new swarm like ability for the zerg and casting it on those new massive swarm of zerglings in sc2 would be awesome. and i hope the zergs new abilities are newbie friendly and easy to get and use. ^^

    yes the ultralisk should come back, and blizz should do something different with them to make them more useful and necessary in most situations.

    Yes, ultralisks were overpriced, but I found them fairly useful. Being fast and having a lot of endurance, when you have a large group of them, they are pretty stinkin' good.
    Plus they are so cool looking: a giant insect/elephant with scythe arms? How can you not love it.

    That's why Ultralisks go first. So they don't get stuck.

    I never have too much trouble, although I usually finish before I get around to building them anyways.
