    Yes I know but it also has them in one of the game demos and it looks the same from the enemys vision as well because for some reason they are always stealthed it just that they can become invisible as well. What I ment was that the seethrough thing becomes more obvious if there is a detector but they arent attacked by units unless directed to do so, or if the unit is an observer itself. So the enemy has to have a real eye out for them instead of just a quick scan of the base and they go back to the battle, They litterally have to look for them. This gives us (the DT controller) an advatage because you can send a bunch of DT into their base if the enemy is not looking at their base without being attacked and they can wreak havok upon the base.

    A way to get their attention is to force the enemy into a battle that normally requires them to micromanage their units to win (majorly the Terrans have to micro manage a lot more than the other races) so they are compleatly away from their base so you can let your units do their thing while not having to babysit them so you can destroy some vital structures or units before he can mount a counter attack towards the DT's also this could be the same you can diliberatly show the DT's and distract them away from their base and you win the battle and (hopfully not for the enemy) their base is wide open for attack with minimal unit loss to your guys.

    I think he means that cloaked units are harder to see now because instead of being a faded version of a non-cloaked unit, all they have are those blue outlines. I guess it's harder to see in the midst of a fight than it was before.

    The new Dark templar is cooler. But I like the old one's animation/attack better.

    I bet they will do some more animation tweeks on the DT I think they may even have him be able to scale walls, jump over small gaps and also jump around in combat a little like Yoda (shweet) but not nearly as good of an acrobat as him ofcorse but like they jump up a little while visciously swirling their scythes and finnaly slashing them (the enemy) when they come down with masive force and maybe, just maybe they may have like a blowback effect in the game for some attacks and this could be one of those attacks so they would not only be cut in half but they would be cut in half and have blood sraying everywere while their bodys parts are flying everwere.

    I really hope this game is as bloddy as Warhammer 40k: Dark Crusade options of blood and gore at maximum this game would be a whole lot better and cooler if it was. I think the DT is going to be a very unique unit more than it was already before and will be a very decisive unit as well in the middle to end games. Hopefully (I am just throwing this in there) Blizzard may have the units who have upgrades maybe be able to perform more than one animation for their basic attacks, I think that would be cool don't you think?

    I wish this game would be just as bloody and gory as DoW, but then it'll get an M rating, and Blizzard might not want that for marketing purposes.

    I cannot decide which one to pick like protoss commander said the old one is a ninja and the new one looks like it has a diffrent kind of tier armor. But its just an artwork guys. In the gameplay theyre still badass. The concept of dark templars has twin scythes is just way unimaginable. Blizzard is still and yet to amaze us.

    the old Dark Templar looks very cool.he has this "i'm a kickass alien ninja" feeling around it that i love.the new Dark Templar,however,looks unbelievably cool.i'd be okay with some upgrade that allowed the DTs to attack twice,instead of just once per attack cicle.that would make them even more amazing,so yeah,i take the new DTs as my choice.

    yes,i agreee that the "ninja outfit" should be brought back.i am fine with their new weapon,but a minor tweak would make it nicer:instead of a double-headed scythe,make it a double-headed spear.a spear is easier to use than a scythe,and you can do all sort of things with a double-headed spear,like swinging it all around you to hit everyone,make quick combos and impale weaker enemies...
