    In this first look video about protoss almost non of the units shown in the video have actually been released by blizzard on the SC2 site...

    is this because they are not for sure going to be in SC2 or they just havent put them on the site?? can someone shed some light on this for me

    Also, units on the site are not finalized. They are just units that they feel are likely to be in the final game and are interesting to talk about.

    There are units not on the SC2 site that will definitely be in the game and it is very likely that some will either be scrapped or radically changed that are on the SC2 site now.

    Ok, I'd been hearing on and off about it, and since the effect got moved to a new unit, I thought it would have been axed.

    Here is a list of units that have been axed/revamped:

    1. Soul Hunters (Axed)
    2. Stasis Orb (Axed but their ability now goes to the Cobra)
    3. Tempest (Axed and changed into Carriers)
    4. Predators (Axed)
    5. Reavers (Axed)

    Another notable change is that the new Warp-Ray's colour is now dark-templarish themed. The reason is because the Carriers is basically a larger version of the Tempest model with a different color (golden yellow). It's probably why Blizzard decided to change the Warp-Ray into a dark templar themed type of unit.

    Of course, Blizzard has stated many times in that even the units on the official site are not finalized. They could undergo changes/revamps/ or maybe even axed. One notable change that they haven't updated yet is the Warp-Rays new color.

    No one remembers the star relic?

    That makes me a sad panda.
    It was axed and cloak went to the MS and I think hallucination is back on the HT

    Thanks for correcting :good:
    Yea, I totally forgot the Star Relic.

    But I do have a feeling that they are making a comeback since the Stasis Orb has been axed.

    Yeah thats what I figure but will it have the same abilites though.
    The Mothership probably isn't keeping the cloaking field since it is too expensive for that kind of use. Hallucination thoug I amnpt sure about. Was that axed or moved to a different unit?

    The High Templar now has the Hallucination ability back based on Q&A Batch 19.
