Colossus @ starcraft2.com

So what FlyingTiger says is true.

 

yeah i saw that too. i think that they can only step up 1 level at a time though.

 

yea that's right... just watch that in game footage. I wonder hows its gonna warp into the battlefield by the robotics facility.

 

it probably wont.

 

I just imagined what it would look like once they spawned...because I hope they're not gonna just have the unit appear next to the building

I'm getting my hopes up but anyway

it would be cool if it spawned and it was sorta crouched and when it completed production, it would stand up and tower over the building that just built it

 

The second word sounded like zerg. Slaughter zerg maybe? It's definately heavily distorted though.

That'd be cool.

 

I def. believe that units will have an animation when they are created. Just take a look at the warp gate. It expands to allow the new unit to fit and then warps it in. I would assume that this is true for all units, or at least most.

 

Am I the only one that thinks that all the Colossi in all the concept art Blizz has put out are missing a leg? haha. They all look like tripods to me, but the actual unit is a quadruped. I guess Blizzard got burned out on the whole War of the Worlds tripod reference that they have already used several times in WoW

 

I just realized....a lot of the new units for protoss are dark templar like. Tempest (darker version of the carrier), Stalker (dark Dragoon), phase cannaon....don't know about that, but maybe it was created by the darker protoss and Soul hunter (a weird but powerful reaver prototype). It's good to see the dark templar realized for there prowess. That's is why they are so O.P

 

It seems to me this shows the acceptance of the dark templar and their "forbidden" power into a more mainstream of protoss civilization. You see a lot of that type of influence in the SC2 units. Instead of blind zealotry (WARNING: PUN) they are becoming more open minded out of necessity. There is probably a little of the dark templar power in a lot of their new technology.

 

That and after Auir was destroyed that wasn't a whole of original high templar-like stuff left.

 

I think there will still always be tension between the dark templar and khala protoss.

 

No way! They should burst up from beneath the ground with lighting shooting into them from the sky! :thumbup:

I think Raynor should be replaced by Tom Cruise also. :

 

owned in the face to those who said too many lasers. Thermal Lance pwns you!

 

amen to that

 

I want a thermal lance...

 

So its a heat ray... that isn't War of the Worlds at all...................

 

well, according to the book it was a heat ray, but it doesnt follow the movie.

 

the actual movie had a heat ray
the shitty remake did not. being a shitty remake it does not count.

 

eh. i can live with that
