    The protoss were the first race to be introduced, yet it has been the less stable one. Many changes (soul hunter, reaver, star relic) have happened to it Changes that didnt really happen to the terrans, because all of the new units were all liked by the public at its release. Only the siege tank was modified.

    What do you think will happen to the old races?
    Protoss still have to decide what to do with the stasis orb, quite a stupid unit.
    Terrans have the crappy nomad that will surely get modified. And have been experimenting with the firebat. I guess in replacement of the reaper, but all the other units seem to be final...

    What do you think its gonna happen with those untied ends of the older 2 races?

    i hope the protoss will get these units, the replacement for the reaver, the soul hunter, the stasis orb destroyed and another cool unit created, if posible new air units, a new archon and some new buildings... that means, i want more protoss, more of everything!, the terrans are cool the way they are now, id like to see more new units i never liked the fact that blizzard almost tried to use the exact number of units that were used on the original, more units for me could take more strategies, for example, if its a protoss vs protoss one could go for x strategy involving the units that we know so far, but the other could use say 4 new units along with some of the old ones, and thus making their gamestyles very different and taking the strategy to a new level, thats my opinion.

    We are focusing too much on units. Everyone seems to have forgotten about the cool new protos features like phase prism and warp in. There is a lot of new strategies now.

    Anyway, the stasis orb sucked. If they need a new spellcaster just make a unit similar to the arbiter.

    Stasis Orb and Nomad suck. I hope they change them.
    But there will be many more edits to units.

    I believe no changes will be done anymore. Blizzard created the units, their abilities, and now they will not change anything to what they have already done. Maybe the MotherShip will be changed : I mean the planet cracker design and the ability to attack air units added ( I read somewhere that the MS will not attack air units anymore, but we could see in the video that the MS defended itself against battlecruisers ).

    the units they have announced wont be kicked of the game, because its finnal!
    The only thing that they can change is apperance and so.
    Example Reapers, they will have reapers but maybe without the bombs...?

    Actually, Blizzard has said a number of times that nothing is final. Even units and abilities displayed on the website are subject to change.

    /\ I completely agree with this. Blizzard has repeatedly said nothing is final. So while the units and the buildings on their website are the most complete, that does not mean that they will stay in even if there is a balancing issue. It might be a little embarrassing to retract a unit from their own website, but I believe that if they did get rid of one of those units it would be in the best interests of having a great SC2. Better to change the game before it comes out than to have it suck because you "couldn't" get rid of any of those units.

    Yup, remember they said they were experimenting with the firebat. Obviously its return will mean the removal or modification of the reaper, which has been displayed in their site since blizzcon.

    However, these are the units I fell subject to change:

    Stasis Orb
    Mothership
    Carrier (It will have to have a carrier texture, not a recolored tempest).

    Reaper
    Medic (flare ability)
    Ghost (Abilities)
    Predator
    Nomad

    The Reaper and the Thor must stay.

    The Reaper must keeps its abilities. No changes.
