Re: Colossus Revealed at official StarCraft 2 website

ahh finnalyyy they have givrn info on it!

 

I'm sorry. but that thing is suik....mad props to the designers...Steven Speilberg watch out!

 

I can see this is going to be a great succesful unit for defence, and offense of course.

 

Love this unit, can't wait for the extra tactical options.. But I'd like to bring something else up: did any of you see the double ledge there, in the animation for the sounds? Looks like a nice terrain feauture. Please check it out.

 

this (collosus) is the most exciting new unit so far. the collosus excite me more than the mothership. 8)

 

so the Colossus will only be able to attack ground units?

 

eh it depends on your perception in how high the air units go. It could go higher than the colossus' beam. Plus they beams could be pointed downward only.

 

All that technology and they can't make a motor that turns the beam upwards? Nice...

 

Maybe they will eventually include an upgrade for it to have missles that attack air. But yeah, it is pretty ridiculous for it to not have any type of air attack ability for it's size. All of that machinery is nothing if the enemy comes at you with a bunch of air units.

Congrats on the 1000th post by the way paragon :good:

 

I guess the poor people they slaughtered didnt have any airships so they didn't need to attack air when it was first designed. Also, balance.

 

1000 post already. wow. good job. anyway i always knew you were the chosen one. a prodigy. hey beat _______ for me. and for your 1000 post here take this gift owerup:

maybe they should put some tentacles to it too. war of the worlds copy cat.

 

Well I imagine there will be a War of the Worlds map just because of this unit. Probably will just be a gimmick map too... and therefore be bad.

 

and what would the war of the world map looks like? what part in the movie. you mean the land filled with fertilized human bloods?.. now thats awesome. an all out war would look cool on that setting.

i hope they will have a collosus in one of their cinematics in starcraft 2 with a tom cruise look alike cameo on it by the way.

 

I was actually thinking of the classic war of the worlds movie because that one was actually good (7.2 on IMDb)

 

never saw that one. ok i'll search about it. thanks. i just love new informations.

 

i have an idea. just let senator post the news. instead of other people, because it's annoying having 2 of the same threads.

 

Well the other one was up a day or so before.

 

Looks awesome...

Seeing has the game has to be balanced for all three races... what in Terran and Zerg will be their answer to this?

 

Terran - lockdown
Zerg - mutalisks or some other air

 

or scourge. do 70 more damage than banelings if they are still in and unchanged (doubtable)
