Do zealots sound crapper now?

Is it just me or do zealots sound less cool than in the original?

Click to hear the sound. I liked the dedication and seriousness the original zealots sounded like. These ones just sound like brutes!

 

I always saw the Zealots as guys that were extremely dedicated in battle but on their off-days got absolutely wasted in a bar somewhere. So the voice suits

 

as long as they devote their life to Aiur (or Shakuras) they'll always be the legendary protoss warrior

 

I do this for Shakuras! ... neah! Sounds too twisty; I would sound pissed to if I changed my home planet to one with a hard-to-say-fast name .

 

is zealot pronounced ze-lots or -zee-lots?

 

YES!!! ZEEEEEEE-lots!! I hate that presenter guy with his stupid pronunciation! I should e-mail them a dictionary page of the word.

 

I always pronounced it Zeelots as well, but hey, you can't mess with Blizzard. I mean, they are making the game and all!

 

Uuh, I think that ZEA and ZEE have the same pronunciation in English. It's just that the EE sound emphasizes the stress.

 

I think what he meant was like me... Zee-ah-lots... unlikely though, and I don't think that's done in English, but it's one of these things that got in my head when I was young (and not good at English pronunciation) and it never got out anymore...

Hmm won't I look stupid now if turns out it can be said like that according to English pronunciation rules...

Anyway, since that stupid presentator guy I do say it like that... Zeh-lots... I like it, but in my mind they're still zee-ah-lots.

 

It's actually pronounced ZEL-IT. Dead serious.

Dammit, this thing takes all the fun out of English. But I'll still say it the way I've always done simply because of the word Zeal...

 

LOL, everyone just got owned

 

You always seem to be around during my moments of ownage.

 

And ZEL-ot sounds cooler when said fast.



Just my lovely three cents.

 

why dont we name them z's? Now there will be no confusion

 

Well, we're straying from the topic and pronouncing unit names doesn't matter as long as we know what it is referring to.
I think I also like the original zealot dialogues better than the new ones.

 

I AM THE BLADES OF AIUR!

 

"We are the blades of Aiur!" pwns at least as much as the old Starcraft lines. The only problem with their new voice is the... voice. It sounds forced and all the while constipated. Couldn't they have re-recruited the same guy for voice purposes, or did he die in 10 years?

 

Also, isn't Aiur currently a smoking pile of Zerg? Just wondering.

 

Yeah Aiur is pretty much a ruin full of zerg infestations.
I personally wish the Protoss would migrant back to Aiur
