New Screenshots Released!

Those Thor's in Screenshot 5

I know I haven't posted in a while, few months actually. Anyway, In that SS it looks like there are SCUD missiles or something similar on top of the "new" Thor, then I noticed the Missiles falling on the zerg, too many for for nukes and I saw no Ghost's...so I'm just adding 2+2 and maybe I'm getting 5, but could Blizz be giving the Thor a ballistics role?

 

The nukes could be getting dropped from ghosts in bunkers i think.

As far as i know, the missiles on the thor are purely for anti-air purposes.

ahh but your forgetting something Ronin; remember what they said about, how terran infantry can use their abilities inside a bunker?

edit: dam overmind beat me to it....what should i say now?...

meh...

 

Bunkers

I've read that units in bunkers can no longer use abilities while...bunkered. So that theory is scratched unless I am mistaken. However I know its a ghost thing but the Thor as a ballistics unit sounds kinda nice...

 

whats the thors new role again?
anti air?

 

Hey terrangod, long time no see. Yes, the thor is primarily anti-air but can also hit ground units with a modest punch.

 

If this is true, it was old information. I'm pretty sure I saw some blue quotes stating that abilities can be cast in Bunkers.

I am really, really liking the look of the thor right there. Good size, missile pods look good from that angle...it still looks a tad top-heavy though. Spread the legs apart a bit more and I'd be happy. Let's also hope the damage output for both air and ground is worth the cost of making one of these bad-boys

 

Maybe the reason the Thor looked so huge and (in the opinion of some) so oddly proportioned and shaped is because of the zoom and angle.

 

Then SC2 Armory is outdated b/c that and some other site I can't remember maintain that you cannot use abilities while bunkered up.

 

The last screenshot is very dark which changes the whole atmosphere of the game, i really like it a lot

 

SC2Armory.com became outdated about a year ago.

 

Sadly

The most recent info regarding bunkers I could find stated the bunkers and abilities are a no go, also read Q&A batch 29 Karune mentioned that they couldn't and there has been nothing I can find that goes against that (official sources) that permit units to use abilities when bunkered. If you know anything or have a source feel free to share.

 

they are not that old, but they do tend to not update all the small things that comes over long periods of time.

you need to reread batch 29 then, for Karune did say things like

and

and then there is batch 31

 

Thanks for that post

Also, I was just using hyperbole. SC2Armory.com isn't that out of date and I'm sure that do their best

 

Gah damnit ok I was wrong...um anyone remember what sparked this little debate?

 

your first post on page 5, and its not really a debate, just a correction of information that was misinterpreted.

 

Right...well the Thor looks great, even if its role seems rather...well, pitiful. I still think giving it a ballistics role would be interesting, though it does steal that from the ghosts, and puts nukes back in late game and relatively unused. And that it reminds me of Metal Gear a little too much. Personally

 

Awesome, those new screenshots are amazing. The Zerg doodad actually fooled me there to thinking they finally put in a Zerg cliff climber. I love all the looks except for the Colossi's attack that only comes from one side.

 

What're those things that look like gun turrets in Screenshot12?

They look like fixed things. New defence thingy or did I miss an article? Lol.
