i hated the changes...why the hell did they remove the cobra!!! farout...disapointed blizzard...very dissapointed.... i guess the thor is abit better...i actually didnt mind the old thor, just change the cannons to something else like laser beams or something.
I really life everiting, all changes will theys make, it's the best for the game, to be the best game of the year 2008... =)
like the new thor abilities and attributes but cobras long gone now. http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-93015.aspx and http://www.starcraft-source.com/unit-database/scrapped/units/cobra.htm (its in the scrapped units section) both say the cobra's gone.
i thought the cobra was pretty cool, why would they take it out? maybe moving and shooting at the same time would be too powerful, you could strafe melee units all day long.
I'm abit worried about the double dead Thor, that's 1000 health in total, quite a brick to chew threw. If it does shoot when in the second dead state, most armies would be decimated
How could they remove the corba?!?! It was my favorite new unit for the terrans T.T I still don't really like the thor, and now its going to be almost impossible to kill because of its double death and both AA and AG. Now they just made it an excellent massable unit, it can attack everything and has extremely high health.
Still, I liked the cobra. It was such a cool unit and I looked forward to playing with it. But now it's gone, so I'll never get to see how cool it would have been to use a small army of them as a more effective vulture.
My guess is that's its weakness is massed small units after its barrage attack it'll be open to the numerous small poundings of maries/zealots/zerglings and will die (twice) well before it can kill all of them. I woldn't worry aside from the fact terrans are 2 units down that the cobra's cut and so is the preditor. I hope that they pull a carrier on the preditor and put the viking back into the factory woudn't miss the cobra that much. pulling a carrier is a on the fly term i thought up meaning bringing something back after scrapping it. What blizz did with the carrier. carrier->tempest->carrire (again)
Im thinking that the cobra is completely gone, which really makes me angry and means that I have absolutely no faith left in blizzard or starcraft2
i think it will be back (cobra) it jsut needs a makeover. i think a darker color on the metal will do.
Well... Thor 'double'-death' mechanics is intriguing. No one remembers that, when some unit gets damage it's going to fight/move worse. Thor is example of this. And it'll make him more bad @ss because op will have to destroy it in parts... legs, then weapon systems. It's HUGE. Just like 'Big Furry Monster' On the other hand, axing Cobra was BAD. This unit was opposite to Thor, weak, fast and raider like, shooting while moving ... was great... so great, that maybe only its vs air attack was cut?
