    what are you meaning?

    the roll of this units is to go ahead of the army and "soften up" the enemy so to speak.

    and it can move while burrowed.

    Yes, but the infestor moves more slowly while burrowed. There's an upgrade to change that, too.

    I found

    He has 3 abilities:

    "Disease" - Covers enemy units with disease that reduces health by a percentage.
    "Dark Swarm" - Creates a large fog that reduces enemy eye sight causing ranged attacks to miss.
    "Infestation" - Covers an emeny structure with a volotile liquid causing it to become infested. The infested building can then produce Infested Terran units to do it's bidding.

    That was the oldest info about the Infestor, base on the last battle report we can confirm that it has currently:

    * Spawn Infested Terrans - it literally spawns out infested marines from its mouth... weird.
    * Neural Parasite - a temporary mind control targeted to one unit.
    * Fungal... something - I think this one is a debuff type ability slowing and immobilizing..

    I've read it from SC wikia days ago, and I'm sure that is much updated than the Darkswarm and disease.

    I don't know why but I think Blizzard will cut the Spawn Infested Terrans and come back to the infestation of Terran Buildings to get infested Terrans.

    I saw some weird things in all the Battle Reports. I am approximatively sure that Blizzard makes those weird things just for spectacles, and also for tests. And they're looking for our feedbacks. When most of the people criticize a weird idea from Blizzard like spawning infested Terrans from the Infestor the devs will come back to their original concepts.

    Yea but you've seen that video online right???

    Like 4 go in a base and spawn everywhere completly oblitering the base, it spawned so many from barracks(come to think of it that would be changed)

    But it could be pointless against terran cuz there stupid supply depots can't be walked under (can't walk under buildings) so it would be hard to do so, but I guess if they don't have detection and they use a barracks to block then you could infest it and destroy the blockade with minimal effort and or damge to you're forces, maybe if you infest a Terran building you can spawn them would be a little better but would make it unused.

    Sounds like the infestor sucks now. You kinda need dark swarm against fleets of battlecruisers and carriers.

    no you just need like 15-20 currupters and they will all be dead, unless you're talking about a ground unit, then its ganna be the hyrda of course, maybe they could just make it shield you from air att if its that big of a problem.

    Here is a link with updated information on the Infestor. http://sc2pod.com/wiki/Infestor

    Looks like freedom hit the nail on the head.

    But yeah, the infestor spitting out the infested terrans is a really crappy idea. I mean where does he get the terrans from? Does he eat them or something and infect them and spit them out when he's ready to use them lol.
