I'm not sure if everyone saw this but in this interview: http://sc.gosugamers.net/features/2259 Dustin Browder kinda confirms the scourge:
Hmm....The Goliath was mentioned much in the same way a while back, so I wouldn't set my heart on this. However, we've seen nothing that will replace it (Yet) and while it's not iconic Zerg, like the Hydra or 'ling, it's still a useful unit.... Good catch by the way. Bottom line, keep your eyes peeled but don't hold your breath.
yea but banelings are much more easier to get... also i dont really care about this scourge coming back, i was never fond of it but if it does come back it better not be the reason as to one of the other zerg units not coming back.
I think that it´s actually the oposite, there wont be any scourge in the game, here´s what dustin browder said: Zerg Ideas GosuGamers: I spoke to Testie who mentioned the Zergings and the bombs and things. Are we going to see a lot of suicide units for the Zerg? Dustin: I certainly hope not. I think we'll only have the one. That would sort of go against the philosophy. We obviously make the races different and the same with the units. For instance, I don't know what's going to happen, we will work on the Zerglings in the future but I will be nervous if they were not very different in how they played, like having the Baneling and the Zergling in the game. They're both suicide units and work in the exact same way, very small units, that'd have to really be the reason we'd have both. I don't know yet but we don't want to have a lot of units that are the same on one side, or even across the game. so maybe they dont want that much of suicidal type of units, i want something new!
Axe the infested terrans = we have baneling now Scourges should stay = boom boom these kamikazees die FOR THE OVERMIND
Scourge should stat at SC2 They have very unique mechanics compared other race's flyers. They are cheap,fast, small and high damage. Scourges encourages microing and they can be very suprising, absolutely brilliant units to take down suprised capital ships. Scourges are effective atm; Warp Ray Mother Ship (looks like it can fire only one target at time) Vikings (air form) Phase Prism Dropship Battlecruiser (if solo or small groups) Banshee Scourges are also fast to build and if enemy ships are already on your base you can give them nasty suprise when you spawn scourges on them.
Scourge really is a one of a kind unit.. two if u build one lol For me, scourge is a good emergency unit especially when taking out mothership! YEY!! so what will be a good thing for the scourge?? how about trying these for size: * Scourge evolves to scourlings?? -air unit attacker non suicidal (counter part for banelings) ^_^ well that was just an idea though the rest is up to blizzy boys so we just hope theyre doing all they can to bring back the creepy colony of these zerg units...
Well all i can say is i really hate Zerg Scourge i spend more minerals to Produced BattleCruiser and because of that cheap Zerg unit my Battle cruiser will be lost.. ):-(
They also make great scouts because of their cheapness, speed, and the two for the price of one thing.
Yeah Scourges are very good support air units and emergency units also it's also good to take down groups of ships with a surprising attack ;D
Scourges can be very useful, especially when a group of battlecruisers attack your base, and suddenly 36 scourges spawn out of nowhere... oops... bye battlecruisers...
