if you look closer...you will find that thread...

btw, karune havent said anything yet

 

i dont think it is an ultralisk, i think it is a new unit, it just doesnt look like an ultra to me

 

Re: I am Proud to Present! The Ultralisk

it looks too stiff to me. I mean i know its supposed to have armor like skin, but that thing kinda looks like it has the mobility of a large crab.

 

If it was another unit it would be too similar to Ultralisk

 

Re: I am Proud to Present! The Ultralisk

You'd be surprised how fast crabs can be in some games ;D

 

Re: I am Proud to Present! The Ultralisk

yeah i realize that espacially small crabs can be very fast, but have you ever seen the giant alaskan crabs? they are really really slow. your right it is a game here. I just dont think it looks like it has enough mobility.

 

Re: I am Proud to Present! The Ultralisk

I havent changed my but I think Blizzard would be able to do it better... so: THIS ISNT WARCRAFT IN SPACE!

 

Re: I am Proud to Present! The Ultralisk

actually the original ultra looks more like the cryptlord IMO. ^^

i dont like the head of the ultra in the original it looks so harmless and cute. xp

 

Re: I am Proud to Present! The Ultralisk

Yeah the original looked more like the CL, but this looks like a underwater-crab, not like a mighty beast being able to kill 5000 probes in one hit.

 

damn this thing looks sweet!

FINALY some new pictures of units, its been like 1...2.... 2.5 months from the last release

mabey we will have something to talk about for a couple days,
Like for instance, do you guys see those huge player IDing colors on it? i mean it looks fine in blue but i think it would be SWEET in red, but stupid in yello.

 

@tweak: Dude, if you're looking on the yellow spots on the back of something like that, you're clearly missing the point. All four points, and the four twenty-foot blades that lead up to them, and the three-foot-thick armor, and the huge, stomping feet. You could make the thing pink, and all that would happen is that pink becomes the new color of TERROR.

@Zeratual: A Godzilla unit?
1) Godzilla is ugly.
2) Godzilla is bipedal- the Zerg like to avoid bipeds.
3) No, just no.

@Shadowie: Thanks for rescaling it. I think some members were failing to see how massive this thing was.

@Ace: There will be unlimited unit selection, not just 24.

 

Re: I am Proud to Present! The Ultralisk

Why is there two threads about the new Ultralisk, both created by Seradin? Merge em I say.

 

Hey everybody! My first impression about that picture was like ''Wow'' Blizzard has done it again! 8) Love the way blizz is handling the sizes of units in sc2. In the original Sc everything seemed to be almost the same size. Size does matter! ;D

 

OMG NEON your so right it is big!

wow amazing
lets mull that over for like 2 days...

ok now that thats out of the way we can talk about it's apperance like what's good and whats bad or we could just have 5 more pages of people saying its big.

 

It seems to be aalmost too big. Compared to those lings it looks like a battlecruiser. Did they make lings smaller?

 

Yea, I saw this on the Starcraft Wiki last night, and I was flipping out. I wanted to post the news, but Sera beat me to it.

I don't really like the purple dots on the carapace, and the Kaiser blades seem a bit big - what's counterbalancing it? Also, the legs look a bit stubby, like it'll shuffle into combat rather than gallop like it did in Starcraft. Overall, though, I love the design. I can't wait to see more zerg units! ;D ;D ;D

SCREW THE ULTRALISK THIS IS BETTER NEWS! JESUS ITS CLOSER THEN WE THOUGHT!

 

@Tweak. But it's really, really Big, wouldn't you say? I mean like huge! ;D

But seriously though, imagine the following..

You just finished evolving your lings into jumperlings so they can flutter their wings to go up cliffs reaper-style. Also, you just saw your Ultralisk(The Big One, remember?) rip it's way out of a gigantic egg. You go for the enemy..

The enemy terran has a bunker and a few tanks on a cliff, blocking the ramp. While your Ultralisk tramples up the ramp towards the bunker, your lings swarm the cliff from the sides, going for the tanks while your Ultra pounds that bunker to a fine - yet bloody - grind.

Now THAT, gentlemen is how an Ultra is supposed to be used. In SC1 the Ultras and lings just got in eachother's way. Now were talking Chop-chop synergy. Sweet!

 

WHO CARES SC2 BETA ON THE WAY!

 

@ Blackskies,

I would love for you to show me in the beta slide where there's a date or any indication that the beta isn't 10 lightyears distant.
