Blizzcon '07 Updates

omfg the nomad looks stupid, bring back the spherical science vessel!

 

Gamespot has uploaded the Terran preview video (Similiar to the one from WWII for the Protoss).
From there, you see the introduction to most of the new Terran units as well as seeing how the Siege Tank sieges.

MAN, the THOR SIEGING CAPABILITY IS JUST NUTZ!!!. Everyone must go take a look.

 

sigh...as much i like the new tanks, i still dont like the siege mode. Its not the x formation i dont like, i dont like those pincer looking prongs

 

Carriers should get a special attack called tassadar homage and they could suicide and its 5x the size of a nuke . and before they blow up they would say

"EN TARO TASSADAR!!" and the game would pause, then everyone playing the game would see a cutscene with a carrier blowing up. even in multiplayer.

BOOM!

lol that would be awesome. but kidding, burkid u gotta change ur sig now lol. glad carriers are back. everything is awesome, so awesome.

fap fap fap


*edit*

WOW! JUST SAW THE GAMEPLAY VIDEO AT FULL SPEED. damn it looks really good, its as i thought it would be. very fast gameplay. its so fluid too. im kinda glad they held off making starcraft this long, imagine if they made it sooner like in 02 or 03 or something. it would suck.

 

Wow.. this stuff is just so overwhelming. I can't believe the game is this fluid at this stage. It looks great... NOW UNVEIL MY ZERG!!!!

I'm really liking this teleport ability... looks pretty handy for gaining terrain advantage. But then I'm sad about the removal of the Zealot attack animation... they were just so badass!!!

I think I'll be glued to this thread for a while....

 

Agreed the terran video was awsome, i cant wait to play it. but i am a bit dissapointed at alot of complaints about how the units look, i mean if starcraft 2 gets delayed becuase there trying to make the medic more girly, or make siege mode cooler or take away new units we havent played yet for old ones i will go crazy.

we have to get used to change if they dont change too many things it would not be a sequal it would just be an exspansion.

dose any one else get what im saying?

 

It can't get delayed... we don't know the release date yet.. do we?

And the hell argued about the new Siege Tank, blashpemy! I have to say though, it looks familiar. The medic should be smaller and have a more feminine-ish armor. It'd just look more appealing, plus two Marine models is too many already.

The medic should look like the one in Shattered Galaxy..

 

That would definately improve their combat capabilities.

 

You should see the building the reepers are made in. It has some hollagram exotic dancer on the top. No joke. Kinda distracting dance move i have to say. : now if they could get the medics from the same havoc bar that woul dbe something...

 

Really nice all news there

i just love the new gameplay of terran's ! :thumbup:

 

nice find on the video. my live feed wasnt letting me see it originally.

@Tym29, i think thats the night elf dance in the hologram again. it was in the original video too.

 

nooo!!! i just checked out the video and foudn out the banshee has a female pilot, oh well, at least it fits the name.

 

Just woke up, its 10 o'clock and well... i need a change of pants!

I'm glad they're dropping the tempest, those shurriken things didnt fit well with the toss imo.

and it looks like i might have to play terran now cause they are getting more awesome.

 

hell yeah it wouldent be a medic without it, you remember rapid clicking on medics in the original?

carriers back huh, i guess thats fine but im not all super excited like the rest of you,

can any1 get me a photo of the new siege tank and this star relic, and also the medic.
i havent been around in a while and i dont know where to find it.

 

Tweak, you can view all of them at the official blizzard site in the *UPDATED TERRAN SECTION!* W00t!

Welcome back!

Actually, I'm not sure if the Star Relic is there, but I've seen it around on random posts of images 'n what not.

 

Same here, I was gonna say it. Where are the reavers?~

 

I believe at the current moment the Reavers have been removed because of the Colossus's role taking over. This was announced in some other thread/post and there is evidence to prove it posted by some Blizzcon player. I'm sorry I don't have the link to it off the bat.

 

yeah the Colossus has basically takken over for the Reavers apparently they were required to remove 1 unit for each unit they added to SC2. the Colossus is a heavy hitting ground only attack unit like the reaver so Im sure it was an obvious choice as a replacement. its a very cool unit and a new fav for me.

 

Reaver WAS a little lame. It still had quite the intimidation factor though. And nothing could piss you off more than not spotting a reaver drop in time.

 

I really love the changes they made, everything they changed suited what I wanted to be changed. I was really scepticle about the direction the game was going before, but now I am really happy about it. I can't wait.

Also, the mothership was really lame before. Now it is a unit where, if you can micro well you can get away from its beam, the C&Cness of only 1 unit allowed is really really bad. It just doesn't suit starcraft at all.
