Units we want revealed or changed

Low priority, but you might want to add in the Baneling. All that green makes it hard to tell the difference in teams.

 

I've been away from the boards for awhile but a search yielded me no pics of the maurader yet.

I'd like to see that model.

 

We've seen the Marauder. There's the model and a few screenshots here: http://www.sc2armory.com/game/terran/units/marauder/
I've also concluded that Google Image searches are the worse way to try and find screenshots of specific units.

 

Just so you guys know, it's the Zerg Infestor and Corruptor stop spelling it wrong!

A lot of the units you guys have mentioned have been changed.

 

Well ty Itza.

Would be nice to see some of the hero units. They won't show us those anytime soon tho.

 

Is it really -or? Everywhere I've seen it's been -er. Just like the Lurker, Defiler and Devourer of StarCraft1, it's the Infester and Corrupter for StarCraft2. I've changed it, but are you positive that it's -or?

Good to hear that a lot have been changed, any insight as to which? My money is on the Infestor.

 

It is definitely "-or".

 

yes, Its the Infestor, not the Infester

 

Yeah, I saw our official information from March 10th and saw it's definitely -or, but if that's the case then how come so many places spell it incorrectly then? Could it be an error from translating from a non-English build? Is it because that's the way the actual word is spelt and previously Blizzard has used proper words like Devourer and Defiler? Or is it just a common mistake?

 

I believe it is a combination of the last two factors- previous Zerg units have had -er names, and, in general, many -or suffixes are accidentally exchanged with -er suffixes.

 

i still want some terran unit able to EMP and irradiate, maybe those can possibly be the medivacs extra skill if possible

 

Whats Irridate gonna kill, it can't really do as much to Protoss as it could Zerg. Yet Zerg could be more effeciently killed with the now longer range, stronger attack tanks. Not to mention cloaked Banshees. Irridate an Ultralisk now? they have 600hp.
EMP belongs to the Ghost I think.

 

Actually, an Ultralisk is one of the best things you can Irradiate. They won't die from the ability, meaning it lasts its full duration- any support- Zerglings, Hydralisks, etc. would have to get out of the way, or die by proximity.

 

Nah the player will just burrow it.

 

Nice thinking Psi, i will add that to my note but going for drones is probably the best

 

EMP was really a useful skill especially when facing Protoss. Wish it would make a come back. Although the concepts of EMP in the first Starcraft was not really what it supposed to be. EMP should temporarily shut down mechanical units as well, not just obliterate their shields. Well, maybe that's why blizzard added lockdown for that purpose.

Oh yeah. I wish lockdown would make a come back too.

 

EMP is in StarCraft2. The Ghost has it at the moment.

Has no-one got an opinion on which of the following models they'd like changed, tweaked, removed or left? Infestor, Hydralisk, Ultralisk, Overseer, Baneling, Jackal (if it's not already).

 

OK, here's what I think.

Infestor: It's a ball. Change it. The Defiler model in SC1 was really perfect.

Hydralisk: At first I didn't really notice/care, but now I agree with Itza that they look too fragile. They should be made a little sturdier.

Ultralisk: I don't care about it looking like a dinosaur, or having a horn. It is, and should be a lumbering beast.

Overseer: The eyes feel out of place... The Overlord is far superior in looks. I think the Overseer should be scrapped completely, even the concept. The Ovie should be the Zerg detector.

The Baneling and Jackal look OK.

 

I agree with you 100% on everything
All that needs to be done on your suggestions is change the Baneling's movement animation.

 

Infestor does look awful. Its more warcraft than starcraft. Keep the burning legion out of SC2.

What if the baneling had to run a bit to pick up speed before rolling up into a ball? Although I'm not too crazy about the model to begin with.

I think the new probe looks way too different from the original.

High templar look a bit too much like elves.

Ghosts look a bit like power rangers.

Don't much care for the over seer either.

I like the hydra and ultra as is. Although I wonder whats up with that jet black hydra(?) show here:
