Nullifier has been renamed to Sentry

This is also an important attribute for a caster to have. If it were supposed to be invisible it would be invisible.

 

If the unit is bigger but still retains its 40 hp and 40 shield, i'd call it a nerf because it makes it easier to destroy. But anyways, so many P units are nerfed so .... hum....

 

Only if you pronounce it NullifLier and are easy confussed by words that sound alike. Which, again, in this case they don't.

As far as the job defining the name, how is this unit a sentry? Because it makes walls? That's an engineer not a sentry.

 

Seeing as Hallucination can be used to stall enemy forces and Force Field can outright prevent them from attacking one's base, I think "Sentry" is a rather fitting name.

 

A group of marines/lings/hydras/lots or most anything can be stationed in a choke to block the enemy.
Those are actual soldiers with attacks, "the sentry" is a caster.

Isn't hallucination far more commonly used for an attack? So you're enemy has a very good chance of focus firing decoys rather than actual aggressors?

New Infested Terran model

 

OMG they changed it now it sucks!

nah, just kidding. i think this model looks much better. the name suits it better too, i'd say.

 

I think it was named Sentry because it doesn't really make sense. Just like the Scout.

 

the new look is better then that old silver fish look it had before. the name however sounds like its more of a guardian/detection unit for toss that fires at whoever is in site. makes more sense then nullifier and suits the unit more imo.

 

For those who loved the Nullifer don't worry. Maybe this unit will appear in the next games Starcraft 2 expansion sets. I remember the Terran Valkyrie. Did you know that this unit was already designed in the Starcraft 1 beta ? It was created and designed before the release of Starcraft 1 and was finally put only in Brood War. At that time the Siege Tank could hit air units in normal mode too. And the nydus canal was the nydus pit.

 

That is very true, Soge. The valk was designed for SC but didn't make it into the game until BW. But the "scraped" model was not in the SC1 map maker.

I doubt I need to repeat what has been said so many times before, but, for the sake of proper reasoning...
All created but unused models in SC2 will be availible in the map maker. I sort of doubt we will see the nullifier model used in either of the two expansion's multi player Protoss armies because people want every thing fresh and new for those.

On the plus side, you will see them in UMS games.
