    i dont think that scourge will make a comeback. zerg in SC2 already have a suicider, the baneling. Having a suicider against air too would be boring. It would be like having Siege Predators for Terran. (Predators using arclite canons)

    Like Thor and Siege tank? :D well, they are not similar. But in SC1 there was infested terran and scourge, so why wouldn't there be baneling and scourge in SC2?

    Edit: maybe this is too offtopic

    Maybe she's just being queen b*t*h of the universe and minding her own business?

    I think she withdrew to mass up an army bigger than that of Mordor (yes, that big!) and crush her enemies. It's a feasible tactic, really, gives time to organize things.

    r u serious? ^_^ the Infested terran sucked @$$. It could only be used when facing terran, when the terran player is stupid enuff to leave you a cc. Banelings and Scourges would be built any time you want, that is different.

    and saying that thors and siege tanks are similar is just ridiculous. The thor is a tier 3 assault mech/meatshield while siege tanks are supposed to stay in the background pounding masses of units.
    They are almost more different from eachother than marines and reapers are, if not more.

    *EDIT* i am sorry, i read your post again and saw that you wrote "well they are not similar" after that. but my opinions on siege tanks being similar to thors still stands ;)

    Ok guys here is my theory. Kerrigan retreated to peice together her strategy and what is going to happen and I guess she has another master plan up her sleive. I also think she is afraid for some reason. I don't know why but I think she was and she started plans to save herself while at the same time destroying her enemys. This has also put her in a bad possition. Her enemys have now infultrated her fortress of solitude and have broken her train of though and maybe lost trak of where she was or she was on the verge of finnishing it but was interupted. So now she is in a tad bit of trouble. I hope so.

    In the Metzen interview with SC Legacy, he said that the Khalis crystal (twin of Uraj) was left behind on Char, when the Overmind (r.i.p.) invaded Aiur (b.i.f. -burn in flames).

    1. Kerrigan happened to remain quiet on Char for all these years, why?
    2. The Khalis Crystal is on char...
    3. Metzen also mentions that Kerrigan doesn't know Duran's goals, and that her stay on Char is basically unrelated to Duran....

    http://www.sclegacy.com/content/interviews-6/scl-metzen-interview---lore-exclusive-28/

    Kerrigan is probably trying to utilize the energies of the crystal.

    *Edit*
    If she stole it from shakuras... ;)
    ???what was i thinking lol

    If you EVER finnished the campaign of Brood War Anansi you would know that the Khalis is no long on Char but with the Protoss again. They tolk it from there and used it to scorch the zerg from Shakuras. So no your explaination is unfortunatly out of the question.

    Hahaha, thanks, I did finish the campaign, and was thinking about the cinematic in which the 2 crystals were used to wipe the Zerg off of Shakuras.
    I kept thinking that wouldn't make sense, but since I read what Metzten said, I fell under the impression that Metzen might have been saying otherwise :p I forgot the broodwar campaign order, so I thought...maybe...

    I know they sucked, but I'm sure that Blizzard didn't think so, because they put them to SC1.

    she is gathering more minions for her swarm, its the ULTIMATE attack, combining new species and building more hatcheries for fast production, building more and more and more overlords and minions to attack the last 3 planets of the terran dominion, and preparing to kill EVERY protoss unit and structure, discover the xel' naga to kill it or take its DNA to add it to the swarm.

    Infested Terrans definitely didn't suck. They were really really good when used correctly. The problem was that they were so hard to get to, that it kind of made them pointless.

    It still is used to great efect, but on very rare occasions.

    Infested terrans were good, but could easily be killed before reaching their target. Any ranged unit could easily kill them without risk of dieing. The problem was that they were extremely hard to get, making sure not to accidentally kill the comand center before a queen can get to it.

    However, they were extremely effective against buildings, killing any with only on or two terrans. If was even better when you fought another terran since the explosion was powerful enough to cause the terran buildings to take increased damage after the initial explosion due to fire.

    That's why I said when used effectively. Running your Infested Terrans alone towards enemy units isn't not wise, just for what you said. If you combine them with your army, for example, esnare an army, send your Zerglins and your infested Terrans. THey won't be able to focus fire all your IT's before they explode on you slow army. You can be really creative in its use.

    infested terrans are like zerg mines, you just burrow them before you use them

    Are you sure you can burrow them, it's been a while since I played zerg and I don't remember that funtion being available for the Infested Terran (maybe I just forgot to upgrade burrow, I do that a lot :( )

    very powerful mines indeed doing about 300-400 damage to target building and massive damage to surrounding enemy units and buildings! BURN BABY BURN!!!!!

    infested terrans were horrible, even if u got them. First of all if u got the cc they still suck. They're horrible vs most units and they're hard to get at vs buildings. They also take so long to get it would take centuries to fill an overlord up to drop. pretty much they were useless, except if u playing vs a total noob.
    i'm pretty sure the build time for an infested is a bout the same as a arbiter.

    Not really, Infested Terrans actually come out pretty quickly, it's the same as a Siege Tank I think. They aren't useless nor horrible, for points I mentioned above, but they are just really very hard to get.

    only reason people think infested terran suck is because there were a pain to get. They could be used to good use like lets say your dropping them onto someones base. drop 3-4 and you pretty much destroyed there resources production lol.
