Colossus @ starcraft2.com

Oh hey guys....  :thumbup:

http://www.starcraft2.com/features/protoss/index.xml?tab=colossus

This page is full of wonderful things. haha the weapons aren't lasers for those who read the "Protoss has too many lasers topic!" It's called thermal lances ^_^.

oooo and the colossus is affected by anti-air too. Makes sense.

Someone said to submit news but I dunno how to do it. Oh well.

 

I dunno why but this looks awesome.

...and awesome screenshot with colossus and siege tanks

yay!

 

Hehehe...on the in-game footage sound bit that they showed it shooting at the marines, I coulda sworn that I heard it say "Go b*tch, let's go!" 

And btw...CAN siege tanks attack Collosi?

 

yup colossus is affected by both anti-ground and anti-air

 

Huh...well, I'm still not too fond of the Colossus. It seems like a very costly unit to make, and the fact that it can be attacked by air and ground makes it seem like an easy thing to kill

Reavers ftw!!!

 

Is that a dragoon in the first picture? Wtf?
Also, as it goes, the colos seems like a great unit, especially on maps with a lot of cliffs. What is a group of lings going to do if one is up on a ledge like in that second picture?

 

hey, if its cost effective and it pwns like crazy...im perfectly cool

Reavers FTW still!!!

 

It will be great on maps with cliffs and/or against the zerg. Being vulnerable to both ground and air just makes sense and you wouldn't want to send them out alone anyway.

Eh, that's true, I guess it won't too bad, I can see it being the toss version of a siege tank. Btw, I wasn't complaining that it could be attacked from anti air and ground, cuz to me that just shows some damn good balance

 

Yes, that's definitely a dragoon. And definitely a carrier. And definitely reavers that actually look like reavers instead of what the starcraft 2 reavers are.

edit: and corsairs are also there
also, the marines in that screenshot don't have shields and look much better without them.

 

haha i definetly agree with ya.

lol wtf. The marines have no shield??? does this mean its an upgrade?? geeez or will there be no shield ^_^

 

I'm betting the shield will be an upgrade. The zealot and zergling already have a confirmed new thing so it's only logically to give the marine something too.

 

Sounds about right. No reason to have them start out with them. I don't mind how they look with the shield anyways. They just look more like riot police.

Also, I don't get why they have a picture of a new unit with a bunch of old units?

 

I think it's just concept art that was made before they decided to ax just about every unit there.

 

Ah, I guess that would make sense. RIP for those units, right?

 

Indeed. In fact, two are even in my sig ha

 

that screenshot is awesome! now i really wanna play it. yes i see corsiars and carriers everywhere. or are those not carriers. anyway maybe they still have few old units left but are not use in wars anymore in starcraft 2.

omg! the environment for starcraft owns. the terrains, trees, etc looks promising.

 

Never really looked at the background in screenshots (you're supposed to wow at the colossi) but they look awesome without looking too "small" like the slower RTS out there. The foilage looks great (much much ++ better than w3)..the tile set is alright (cuz w3 had already decent tiles).

I like how siege tanks/marines dont have shadows.(in the non rotated screenshot).and i bet they'll look better when they do . Strangely in the rotated screenshot (colossi on the top of the screen) some of the marines have shdows that look normal now ...empahsis that they are puny?

 

those things are super sexy. they have pylon crystals under them ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!
