Starcraft 2 unit BattleCruiser revealed

Woop de frigging do! After waiting two weeks for an update, they give us this? We've known about the new BC since Terran gameplay, and nothing as changed. That isn't news, at all.

 

Thanks for the update! :good:

 

Of course we knew the battle cruiser since the gameplays showing it. This is not a news.
However if Blizzard decides to put this unit, like the others and the structures, officially in the Starcraft 2 site that means that we are SURE to get them all for the future game. Blizzard will not come and say "sorry, we decided to delete the THOR" for instance since they put it in the official site.

Maybe am I wrong ? I hope not. However when I see the Mothership there are questions that have still to be answered, like for the visual effects of its attacks, and the fact that, yes or no the MS will attack air units.

Nothing is done for the Zerg. We saw the zerglings of course, but will it get its wings ? etc .... will it be redesigned ? Nothing sure about the Zergs. We'll have to wait again for the Zergs.
Hope I helped.

 

The US starcraft2 site isn't updated yet. BnechbReaker linked to the EU one. I wonder why the US site isn't updated yet. Oh well, neat pics, interesting description.

 

I read the description in French. Normally the French version always arrives after the US one in US English.

 

Indeed

 

I think the best thing about this little nugget of news is the glimpse at SC2s desert tileset.

 

Anyone knows if there will be a map editor like SC or W3?

 

i believe blizzard is also working on it.

 

Well, I'm gonna be using them.....Plas Torpedo+Hydras=Soup

 

Teh choice between Plasma Torpedos and Yamato have already got my excited thinking of possible combos and uses. However, I really like the new regular attack animation. Laser Barrage! Pew Pew Pew! I wonder since it shoots so many small lasers can it hit multiple targets. I heard somewhere the Stalker could do that. The site said it had an ability called dual shot. Since it shoots 2 lasers at a time it has the possibility to hit an air and a ground..idk..if I can find the site ill post a link..

 

The tank looks really awesome now.

 

I agree it's not much of an update, all old info.
Good job gleaming this off the EU site before it got put on th US site none the less.

I also agree that the new tileset looks amazing and is the best thing out of this update.
It is also pretty cool to see that sensor tower blocked off by supply depots outside of a base. Either it's just a simple scenario in campaign or a nice strat that can be used in multi player.

I'm pretty damn sure that Blizz has said NOTHING is final, including what goes up on the site. Damn near final for sure; but if balance issues come up, it is still subject to change.

BTW plasma torpedoes do make the BC much more viable...it's still old news though.

 

There is:
Desert
Platform
Jungle
Ashworld
Twilight


Snow
Installation
Badlands
Are still missing.

And we still havnt seen zerg. Bet they are gonna look cool, and that the units weve already seen will have changed a lot into something better.

 

With all the AOE units in SC2, one can only wonder what the Zergs will get in order to compensate that. We all know that AOE types of units/abilities totally devastate Zergs in SC1. Basically, all my imagination for the Zergs in SC2 have gone down the drain because of all the AOE units in SC2.

Zergs are gonna kick some major butt because I believe their new mechanics/units are gonna be things that none of us have thought of atm.

 

Maybe more air units and harder carpices

 

kind of neat that each type gets a neat little name, but hercules and minotaur are dumb. Keep it behemoth and maybe titanic or titan or something.

 

No hercules is good Minotaur not so much though

 

I can't wait to find out about all new Zerg and their abilities.
