the title is a little play on words, but here, you see a reaver go into, and a zealot come out of, a patch of grass! this must be a first that i've ever seen for rts, where units can go through something apart from shallow water.
CONGRATS BLIZzARD

 

lmao if they come out of the grass stoned

 

*Zealot, looking at psi blades* Whoaaa, dude.....Light show....

 

Dude.. they did this in warcraft 3... You could place down bushes and tall grass and ur units could walk right through it.

 

aye got too add some cover to the maps

 

er Company of Heroes had high grass that units walked through although it wasn't that high.

and yes, same with warcraft 3

 

but not that high. anyway. it's cool.

 

This would be insane for Zergling ambushes. Even with detection, you couldn't see them. God. This changes everything.....I'm gonna start playing Zerg now.

 

I'd hide a bunch of Siege Moded tanks in there and keep pressing S until enemy units arrange by the grass.

FWOOM. 10 tanks shooting every inch of the assembled army.

 

argh you guys dont get what he's saying. with the physics engine as you move through it it actually waves and parts etc with an animation similar to water parting with a boat going through. Which is something Warcraft 3 did NOT have.

Anyways yeah, Company of Heroes had it first, but regardless its a damn cool introduction.


*edit* Btw. Hiding a ghost in those and nuking would be phenominal.

 

or if the nuke target dot gets covered by the grass...
it probably wont though

theres also an enormous zealot statue that I would love to knock down

There are flowers in Starcraft II, how beautiful. In the middle of a battle too. You have to love the scenery.

 

Oh, they're so cute.

*STOMPED by a Colossus*

WHY!?!?

 

rofl. lol i wonder if they'll disappear if a zerg unit burrows right on top of it. since for one they dig to burrow and if they're right under how what becomes of the roots XD

 

nice flowers, ill tell my men to pick em afterwards.

 

hehe...hmmm did anyone notice the reaver hiding in the bushes? i'm wondering if that would effect the gameplay as well (limit the line of site)

 

well dead bodies provide good fertilizer so....

 

Looking closer at that screenshot made me go awwwww.

Thumbs up Blizzard.

 

Hmm didnt notice the hidden reaver he-he!

Anyway, flowers will add a lot to the gamplay feeling, specially in campaigns. Just think about kerrigans death surrounded by flowers "Im not sorry *cough* about anything ive done *cough* ... fu.. fu.ckers..."
Then raynor says "at least she died a virgin heheh"
