Leaked! Exclusive new units video

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

OH SHI- iz dat rly real?

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

Would be a nice fake if it wasn't.
I really don't see how this games going to turn out now.
To me it just looks like genocide waiting to happen.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

well atleast now the noobs will stop misqouting blizzard every 5 seconds about there being exactly the same amount of units as in bw

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

well, it clearly seems there's going to be more, ain't it? actually, i don't really keep up to date with the starcraft 2 releases, as in i don't really wait for press releases... looks like i'll just have to wait for them here... this site's efficient enough. YEAH

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

Movie is grest, it's yet another hype for us junkies . However, Soul Hunter looks like a step back from 'Let's not make copies of the same units for all the races'. It's a little-vulture'ish to me..

Anyway, let's hope all races will get new types of aerial units - with so much variety, air battles will get a new taste

Oh, and new types of terrain - some look simply amazing . The one Char-like - it immediately reminded me of SW Episode 3

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

well seen in the video the phase cannons warp from the place they were built then move towards the place a bit slowly,
The phasing won't be done instanty.. I wonder what happens to the phase cannons when they are phasing and the pylon/phase prism is destroyed

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

sry for double posting BUT I SAW A REAVER WOOOOOO behind the twilight archons u even see it attack. YES reaver drops are still going to be in the game i guess.... One of my favorite protosss unit is not taken out yay

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

now the Protoss has yet another handy trick that enables them to disable fixed base defenses like bunkers, the soul hunters appear very powerful for units at their size, in this leaked video you can see a group of soul hunters attacking a Terran base, if you will try to observe it took them around 12 secs to destroy the Terran command center, in the first demo video available at their web site, a group of reapers almost the same size as these soul hunters attacked a Protoss nexus, after attacking the nexus for roughly 13-14 seconds, it doesn’t appear to have been damaged with its shield still intact, unfortunately time runs out for the reapers after the phase prism begins to deploy activating the nearby photon cannons. I was thinking about the balances Blizzard plans to do with SC2.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

yep, I certainly hope that’s the case.

about the number of units, I have read an article on wiki that blizzard plans to maintain almost the same number of units like from the previous game, but i guess its too early to speculate about that, we've seen the demo videos and it seems that they’re adding more units than usual. anyway, I think more units will provide players with more ideas to make their own strategies which add up to the game

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

There are never too many units if every unit has it's own unique role, yet is capable of being flexible. It just requires Blizzard to think more outside the box in defining their abilities.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

Blizzard doesn't want too many units so that certain unit never gets used in most games. I think having 3 specialised spellcasters for each race is enough.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

excess is bad in my opinion. Means theres too much too think about in a real game. If there was 100 units in each team then imagine how difficult it would be to decide what to do.. Course they'll never go to that extreme but you get the point.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

It really bugs me not knowing that froze that bunker lol.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

myabe one of the spells/effects of the twilight archon if it has any or a new unit?
p.s i think my mind is dumbed down after reading some of the comments on youtube

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

I try not to read the comments, sometimes i stumble across people with other views than mine and I can hurt them cuz they are 600miles away.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

reading coments just mkes pople more crazy snd confuzed

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

Blizzard knows what they are doing. There can be more units than in brood wars and still make the game good. I remember them saying in one of the first announcements that there would be more units so I don't know why this is a surprise to anyone. And while you may not use a particular unit very often, I'm sure other people would make use of it. And I'm sure the really good players would. Plus you can mix it up more and that adds even more replay-ability and fun to the mix. It's not really fun doing the same exact build order over and over and over.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

how many protoss units were there in starcraft 1?

and hhow many new units ahve we scene?

does the warp cannon count as a unit, a new building, or an upgrade for the photon cannon.

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

Probe, Zealot, Dragoon, High Templar, Dark Templar, Archon, Dark Archon, Reaver, Observer, Shuttle, Corsair, Scout, Carrier (13)
Probe, Zealot, Immortal, High Templar, Twilight Archon, Reaver, Soul Hunter, Stalker, Phase Prism, Phoenix, Warp Ray, Tempest, Mothership (13)

 

Re: Leaked! Exclusive interview with Blizzard

well, it seems then we have got some unit roles to work out

thank you very much paragon for that info

edit: something dosnt add up, how do you get a twiglight achon ( i assume its a dt and a ht in one)
without a darktemplar in the army, maybe you dont merge them you build them.
