Units

[Mechanical Man]

What do you think, which units and buildings you would like to see and what in your opinion should Blizzard add, replace or remove regarding starcraft 1 and current gameplay trailer? And how would you change their stats and abilities? This includes also your new ideas.

 

[Impac7]

I expected a little different units at least some of them because you know war2 and war3 are diff in units - only some have remained, in war3 totally different distribution among the races with the new races ofc. While in SC2 they didn't even add something more I think, just the same units, like the strategies will be the same either... those who have played SC&BW will find it easy to play here too.

 

[Edhel-dur]

Yeah but between wc2 and wc3 there are 20-25 years of peace , while in sc2 the storyline picks up right from he ending of BroodWar and actually if you think about it , Protoss have only the zealots and probes from the original starcraft and maybe the dark templars . . . untill now , the rest the of the units are totaly new (stalkers , immortals , mothership)

 

[Gizmo III]

I think the most of the units will be different from the original, but only time will tell..
So far, we have Collosuses, Reapers, Phase Prisms, Banelings, Mothership, Warp Rays, Phoenixes, Stalkers, Immortals and those worms, that are new, and Battlecruisers, Ghosts, Marines, Dropships (I think), Zerglings, Zealots and Mutalisks, Siege Tanks, Probes and SCVs that are old...

 

[Mechanical Man]

I really hope that colossus won't replace reaver, they were so cool looking. Yeah, and I want more tanks for the terran

Tanks are the key to any victory. As you well know. Hahaha

 

[Shados]

Immortals are not really new, they're just re-fitted Dragoons.

-*meow*

 

[Gizmo III]

Yeah, but they are new anyway..

 

[SuPa-]

some of the stuff looks like it's based off tiberium wars, particularly protoss

 

[Horn]

Many units have been replaced. We know for a fact that they're keeping the same unit total, so each new Protoss unit means one less of the classic units.

I'm compiling a roster for each race as we acquire information:

Protoss
Terran
Zerg

 

[Just_Spectating]

they need to take out the Stalker that blinks, and make it look like a regular DT with some armor attachments that can blink. i think protoss has too many robots than aliens for what i saw in the gameplay trailor.

 

[Gizmo III]

Looks quite cool Whitehorn (But you are missing the Barracks and Factory in the Terran section)

 

[Mechanical Man]

Just_Spectating, you mean walkers by robots? If so, you are absolutely right. Zerg are animals so is normal that they use legs for moving, now seems that all ground protoss units will be legged, and then probably terrans will get all walkers vehicles

I think they should add a hero system like in War3. It seems more appriate for units like the Ghost and whatever you want to call the unit Infested Kerrigan was to have level up powers and abilities. It would set off Starcraft as something else other then every other Sci Fi RTS. Warcraft 3 is the only RTS I know that successfully added heroes to the gameplay experience of RTS. I think there's something here that could easily be used.

No way!! Starcraft is a game about massing units, not heros and items. Starcraft is a totally different game than warcraft, so why make it just like warcraft? If u want heros, just play Starcraft on warcraft.

Btw: my favorite new unit for protoss is the Colossus!

 

[Katu]

The Protoss Immortal looks like the Destroyer Droid from Star Wars!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Not that much...

 

[Massive_attack]

Cease argueing you whiney fools, with some modeling skill someone could easily make most of the old SC- units, in fact i am sure someone is planning on doing just that. Since nearly everything is possible in the SC2 engin as was shown in the original StarCraft, why not just mod it in yourselves when it gets released or have you forgotten that there is a world builder comming with it.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Because there will be again a bnet limit, the campaign will use the game models and all standard tournaments will use sc2 units.

 

[Massive_attack]

*sigh* you got me, but still if you really wanted to, you could change every map that came with the game to have them... still though your right..
