    Mine has got to be the Ultralisk. I played Toss and Terran was more than Zerg in SC1, but I think they REALLY attained their original vision of the Ultralisk. Huge, massive, good attack animation, great model. It's just too perfect.

    The worst I think would be Marines. Shields? Really? They're not WC3 Footmen...

    What are your thoughts?

    I agree, i'm not too fond of the marine's shield. I don't think its necessary, maybe there should be an armor upgrade instead.

    I don't like the zealot's charge ability.

    Lurker. it evolves from a hydralisk and ends up looking like a crab insted of having the hydralisk head and spider like body. Epic fail blizzard.

    Well I like how Blizzard is trying to incorporate visual cues to upgrades so you can tell just by looking at a unit, but I REALLY don't think a tangible shield is the way to go here.

    Worst: I'd have to say... Hydralisk.

    Yeah the shield on the marine seems abit silly. Shields are fantasy, not sci-fi IMO.

    Honestly why didn't they include plasma shields or something? I know it kind of intrudes on the protoss shield ability but still.. Its better then a fat piece of metal they have to carry around that probably throws off their aim anyways.

    Favorite unit so far is the Archon

    Kinda wanted to see wraiths come back instead of the new banshee.

    Best: Archon, Ultralisk, Battlecruiser

    Each have some new features (or will be), and the look of the unit in-game is really nice.


    Worst: Carrier

    I'm not too fond of its look, but I can live with that. What I can't deal with is if the Carrier is (once again) rendered useless if not in large numbers. A single BC can do far more than a single Carrier.

    The Ultralisk is not the big .... Mammouth I believed it was. It is a huge monster now, as big as a Thor ...

    No, I don't like the new ultralisk

    Best: Ultralisk. I get excited everytime I see them in videos :)
    Worse: medivac. I don't play terran much, but when I do, I like using my medics as quick barriers.

    I believe the marines should have a special piece of armor that may block incoming attacks instead of sheilds (Prob about 10 - 15 percent chance to block and when I was block i mean the attack on the marine was deflected meaning no damage at all or a MAJOR damage reduction)
