Abilities in SC2

[Zhall]

--INITATE THINK TANK--

We all know that starcraft 2 will have some new abilities which warcraft 3 did not offer, What are these new abilities and how could they be used?

I'll start

Command Center SCV loading: The new terran command center can load scv's into it and lift off.
Uses: Could be used in a like impossible missions map where you have to be the last one standing.

Burrowing: Zerg can burrow more units they could in the origional starcraft. The burrowing system of the crypt fiend in wc3 was... limited at best.
Uses: I'd like to see nuke the whales make a come back. As well as bounds.

Supply depot burrowing: The terran supply depot can burrow and act like a gate to allow units to pass.
Uses: Gates, with ease.

Advanced build menu: The advanced build menu allows you to build the higher tech buildings.
Uses: Depending on how versitile it is, could replace half or most worker fleets that currently plague RP's like Sotdrp.

Jump jets: Terran reapers can jump up onto cliffs with this ability.
Uses: Replaces wc3's standard improvision of blink as a jump ability, would also be neat in a tower war, watching all of the units jump jet down to go through your maze.

Protoss warping: The warp prism can allow units to warp across the battefield.
Uses: Could be useful in a game where capturing warp rays allow for check points, among other things.

Lifting off buildings: The terran can lift off buildings in order to move them around.
Uses: Could be useful in tower defenses or tower wars in order to allow the player to move around their towers without selling them.

Nullifier shielding: The protoss nullifier can make temporary shields to block units.
Uses: This screams to be used in some sort of tag.

Well, thats all i can think of for now... What do you say?

The Warp Ray does not allow your units to teleport around. The Warp Prism does that . The Warp Ray shoots the laser that grows in power.

lol, zergs could not burrow only ultralisk, larvas, and broodlings

In fact, that the last two units are "special" one, only ultralisk is unit which cannot burrow.
