Units to be removed or revamped?

Wraiths are a bit iffy, they could yet couldn't be replaced, however, considering that this is supposed to take place 10 years after Brood War, they probably will, or at least be all decked out and given a new name or something. For Terran, my goners list is:

Valkyrie
Firebat
Vulture
(possibly) Science Vessel

For the ones theyre decking out or have the same concept, just different name and attacks, they are:

Goliath
Wraith

They sure as hell better NOT take out the medic though, that would probably be one of my biggest upsets (since we KNOW the crusiers are coming back)

 

Well Goliaths and Wraiths are staple units of the Terrans so they have to stay.

 

You are seeing alot of technologically upgraded Protoss units, so the Terran may seem the same. You know in the two Star Wars trilogies, you see alot of spacecraft in original trilogy that are "based on" earlier ship models from the prequel trilogy? It could be the same thing, as in a second generation Wraith that goes by a new name, and has a redesigned look. Make sense? There probably will be few vehicle, machine based units that go untouched in SC2.

 

well, logical reasoning on your part, would be to watch the vids and read the articles before you make a thread about something we've all talked about before.

 

Dude stop trolling. OBVIOUSLY people are enjoying the flow of this discussion, please take your disruptive attitude elsewhere.

 

I think they should replace both the Guardian and the Devourer. with the new units i cant see how they would be able to balance. stalkers + phoenix = dead guardians and devs. (lets not forget star relic!)

 

hello mario. welcome to the forums hope to see you active

 

hi! lets be forum friends.

MY LIFE FOR AIUR

 

Medics made such a difference in Brood War.
If Blizzard swaps a new unit with them or takes them out entirely I think BoXeR would micro some Wraiths into Blizzard HQ.

 

I really hope they don't take vultures out...or Ultras. Just because a unit isn't used a lot doesn't mean it should get the axe, just and upgrade.

 

?? do you mean ADjust and upgrade? or just upgrade

 

Well I'm sure they would update the look of the Goliath and Wraith (such as the horrors they did to the Siege Tank look) but they probably wont change the name cause they are just so cool and any other name would just sound lame and half hearted in comparison.

Except Reaper and Phantom. Those names are acceptable. Of course Reaper is already taken (good choice Blizzard)

or Titan... or Colossus (again a good choice made by Blizzard) or....

Brobdingnagian

 

Going with the theme of "steal" or "ghost". Other names would be Apparition, Phantasm, Banshee, Spectre. Any others? Spectre would be an awesome for an air unit? What do you guys think?

 

Oh man how did I forget Spectre. Like the AC-130 Spectre gunship. God those things are fucking awesome. A howitzer... ON A PLANE?!?! Thats just pure awesomeness right there.

 

I was thinking second generation Wraith called a "Spectral Wraith" which would be the new Wraith, that has perma-cloak!

 

Or just Spectre which sounds a lot cooler than Spectral Wraith. One word names are generally better because people usually shorten them anyways when talking about them.

 

I wouldn't mind watching the Wraith get beefed up.
They were kind of fragile even with Cloak and the air to ground attack (Gemini Lasers) could use some work.
Goliaths would be amazingly done I think. But like the Siege Tanks, are probably in risk of looking plastic or like something you find in a set of toy soldiers.

 

Having attempted to model A low poly Goliath 4 times, it is very hard to do. However, SC2 has a higher polygon limit per unit than WC3 did so with more polygons it becomes easier. And my last attempt looked like the Goliath anyhow. So Blizzard better be able to make a good one.

 

paragon, I don't see scout in your sig
But these models sure look awesome

 

You also missing an Arbiter there too Paragon
