    Sigh... does anyone know what game I'm referring too? I played this game before which features the concepts that have been used or might have inspired Blizzard to input these.

    • Tripod basically a 3-legged unit we find in most Alien movies.
    • Buzzers are similar to the Spore ability from the queen. These creates a unit and attach themselves to an infantry or a tank and operates the same way as an Interceptor/Shuriken
    • Mothership a special unit that could dominate the enemy forces. Unlike the current one we see in SC2 this will deal massive damage only to those units below it. Limit 1

    Seriously forgot the name of the game.

    Ok, I'll bite.

    • H.G. Well's War of the Worlds.

      Interceptors were in the orignal Sc which was released 9 years before the game your thinking of.

      I know, I know, Independence Day which came out before the original Sc (though I think they makers of that movie ripped off sveral dozen Sci-Fi books and movies that came before them).

    What was your point again? Right your a moron who thinks he is making a point, but is really showing his own ignorance. BTW the game you want me to say is C&C 3.

    Duh. Cause obviously, whenever a game has similar, vague aspects, it's copying another game to the core

    The Mothership in the intro was done long before Independence day was released since (IRC) on the Collector's Edition DVD they say that this video was done sometime in late 1994/early 1995 because they were working with an early alpha version of 3DS Max.

    However, needless to say the concept is not new at all to either works.

    Dude, don't you realize the Colossus has FOUR legs? It's not a tripod man!

    Deckard me and Fenix were being sarcastic to make a point.

    Anyways, because this topic has been disscussed extensively in other threads this is going to be locked.
