Which Zerg units do you want back from the original SC?

[-LT-]

I'd say zerglings but they're allready in =)

[BirdofPrey]

Hydras

[ShdwyTemplar]

Infested Terran, although, I would hope it be different than the normalized one that explodes.

[Eagle]

Enhanced ultralisks, like, jumping from cliffs and better damage
And hi, i'm new here :P

[ShdwyTemplar]

Welcome to the Forums, enjoy your stay. And as always have fun. Ultralisk don't seem to be the most likely of candidates to make it into SC2 I'm afraid. Everything must change at some point or another. :)

[tweakismyname]

scorge or something similer, they made it ez to take out fleets.

[Redlazer]

defiler in some shape or form! most potent unit zerg have when used right ;D

[timedragon888]

Hydralisk. Its the most versatile unit. And lurkers too. Lurkers slaughter M&M rushes easily!

[GrahamTastic]

I am very fond of Lurkers. They are a classic Zerg unit, and the only one that is useful and invisible (burrowed) at the same time for the Zerg. (for my limited skills and I, anyway)

Keeping in the game would make me very happy, even though I don't play Zerg all that much and they are very annoying when used against you. ::)

Wow new member its nice to see you, welcome, God bless.

PEACE :thumbup:

[Skandal]

I've always loved the devourer, I hope it's included in sc2
with some upgrades ofcourse ;)

[-LT-]

I like him too.

[ArchLimit]

Alright, I'll name my return wishlist in order of favs to not:

1. Hydralisk (it wouldn't be zerg without them)
2. Ultralisk (I actually really like the design and feel of this unit, I just think it needed some upgrades/better specs to be made more useful)
3. Defilers (this unit also seems to get a bad rap but I thought it was one of the best units ever. Between dark swarm and plague I basically felt like a cheap demi-god, especially on a money map.

[Ych9]

Hydralisks definetely needs to be back. They are like a symbol for the Zergs and the World of Starcraft also. It wouldn't make sense to not have Hydralisks in the Starcraft universe. I really can't wait to see what the Hydralisks is going to look like in the SC2 engine.

[-LT-]

I think he'll be back.

Yap im agreed, but i think they will put a hydralisk in SC 2 i hope so ::)

:thumbup: PEACE

[Sikhye23]

i want to see hydras back, possibly the coolest unit it sc. What i DON'T want to see are devourers wtf were those? Useless AND ugly, like big floating caves.

(btw i love how sometimes because of the 2d graphics in sc1, you really couldn't tell wth the units were doing on screen, like when the hydras randomly spreads its spine glands it looks like its smiling, )

[-LT-]

Yeah HAHAHA :D

[Hunter]

My poll: http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/index.php?topic=2149.0
The same with votes

[SemiEvil]

I'd really like the lurker back, even though i never managed to use it properly.
Defilers would be cool too.

[-LT-]

Lurker would be great with new abilities.

[BnechbReaker]

out of all zerg units, the only one i don't like is the devourer

[AcE_01]

id love the lurker, hydra, ultra, guardian, back

lol...

[GrahamTastic]

How can you people not like the Devourer?? It is like a Scourge that doesn't die!! Pure anti-air artillery awesomeness!!

[string_me_along]

The Lurker rocked

[freedom23]

yeah the devourer were the ultimate anti-air unit for starcraft id say.. sigh if it only were alil bit affordable.. but a 2 dozen of these babies is enough to render an entire air fleet incapable!!! + add them with mutas for combo...

[-LT-]

The Lurker rocked
And still will. I hope...

[venado]

Yes, its right. The hydralisk is an icon for zergs

Nobody likes Queen?

[Hunter]

The Lurker rocked

Yep, it was the best.

[Lenga]

the queen must return

[Smokiehunter]

I would like for the lurker to return I used it for tunes of chock points. they cost alot though.

[string_me_along]

the queen must return


I personally don't think that's going to happen unless they really change the unit. I don't think that the Queen was very well liked and better abilities or another spell caster will most likely be introduced.
I could of course be wrong, but IMO I don't think she'll make the cut.

[Hunter_wow]

I like the idea of the queen - zerg units with abilitys. But it need some mayor changes to fit in into sc2 becouse as said it wasent very mutch used in the first game. I´m also hoping for lurks with not to many changes. One of the most funny units to go forward with becouse they need attention.

[manaplague]

Bring back the Guardian. Bane of the ground.

[freedom23]

@ sting_me_along ---- i definitely think your wrong ^_^

the queen is a vital unit of the zerg coz shes 1 big momma carrier of thousands of true zerg species that finds its own victim to evolve into...

shes basically the foundation of most of the zerg units we've encountered with.. ive read about the thread on how the zerg originated and how they assimilate and evolve...

its just not likely for the zerg to not have a queen.. unless the queen now evolved into something much functional ^_^

but anyway theres a 50% chance you're correct coz now that banelings are around who'd need to wait for a command center to get burn just to get those infested terrans right?? but basically its still upto the designers lol

oh.. and my answer to the poll..

we have already witnessed the protoss and the terran and from what ive seen, each of them managed to retain atleast 7 of their former units in SC1 so that means that we might see 7 revived units for zerg.. i think they will be..

-drone (coz hes the worker dude)
-zergling (already there)
-overlord (unless they turn zerg food into a stucture ^_^)
-hydralisk (a hint on the wallpapers right?)
-mutalisk (up and about)
-ultralisk (now why would the big "lisk" wouldnt be here since the other lisks are present)
-queen/scourge (its basically a debate on what to retain between these two, but im most definite to see
the queens' return or perhaps her higher evolved form,,

Again it was my opinion, but the queen is not as essential as you may believe. The two units she can help create are broodlings (which die in like 1-2 minutes) and infested terrans (which are useless if you're not playing a terran and are really hard to create). She doesn't actually do anything about creating the others in the actual gameplay. Therefore she can be sacrificed quite easily and another caster can take her place. I also hope that the infested terrans will move to the hatchery so you can use them in battles even when there is not a terran player in the game.

[SuccaMC]

I want to see lurkers fo sho, they are way tight like goldfish.

[MarineCorp]

Hellhounds
Orc Grunts
Human Footmans
Undead Ghouls
Night elves Archers...oops wrong one

Hydralisks will definitely be in it is a great ground unit and one of the most effective unit when making masses of them
The Defiliers
The Guardians
The Devourers (i thought they were cool but they need to be improved with faster attack power)
The Lurkers (i thought they were cool but they die SO easily so they should have more hp from Brood War)
The Queen
Something to replace the Ultralisks
Scourges (they are so damn useful if you are being attacked by Carriers, Bc, Guardians etc)

and that's about it really :)

[The Vision]

The hydralisk and mutalisk are both almost guarenteed to return. Guardians and Devourers as an evolution for the mutas will probs also be present. I would however like to see more variation in the air units that the zerg have as mutalisks are incredibly weak. And i know they are much cheaper than other air units but i would like to see a more powerful, expensive air unit.

The lings will be back for certain and we can only hope that the lurkers return. Maybe another evolution of the hydralisk but for air?

[Steve22x]

Well the hydralisk itself is a fantastic aa unit, but the basic zerg forces are the ones I want back the most. Lings, hydras and muties, which are all pretty much guaranteed. But I also hope the zerg don't lose a great unit like the defiler with its superb support. If the defiler leaves, (or evolves) I hope theres something very much like it with most of its old abilities.

[The Vision]

I really tried using the defiler. I just think its a terrible unit in that it doesnt have enough energy for a "spellcaster" unit. You pretty much have to spend quite a decent amount of resources on this one unit, with the ability to cast 1 spell then retreating and being useless.

[bleuchill]

I want both the Lurker and the Devourer to come back.

[Redlazer]

defilers, defilers or i quit!

[Inpox]

Im not a zerg player but i have to vote for the defiler because its a great unit (annoys my ass when facing it though :D) and the zerg players will need it because they are going to be owned badly in sc2 mwahahahaha

[DontHate]

your joking right? i find that as one of the best spell casters becasue it can regen it's energy so quick with consume.

[The Vision]

Hasnt got me convinced yet. I still think there is more useful units in the zergs army who are worth spending more money on. Like gettin a couple of hydras is probs better spending saving up those few extra minerals

[Inpox]

Didnt the defiler have a abillity who damaged units heavily? It was named Dark Plauge if i remember right...

[string_me_along]

/\
Plague. It was a red acid like attack that could take a unit down to 1 hp.

[Inpox]

Yeah exactly thx string_me_along . that spell was really anoying and powerful. Would be a great loss to the zerg if they didnt keep it. Well Defiler and Hydralisk is a must keep for the zerg race.

[string_me_along]

/\ I put this in another thread, but one of the most powerful combos with two races is plague from defiler (zerg) and then an ally (terran) with EMP from the Sci Vessel. All of my powerful expensive units just went bye bye.

[Inpox]

You mean irridate dont you? ^^

[string_me_along]

nope. Plague put my units down to about 1 HP each... then EMP took away their shields. They had no health... at all. And the marines they sent in pretty much destroyed most of what I had before I realized... oh crap! My units don't have any shields or health. There wasn't so much a retreat as much as there was a full scale rout.

[Inpox]

Ahaa, you were talking about protoss, thought you meant like zerg or terran

[Major Willy]

I want them to crush the Guardians into little bits for harassing my lovingly handcrafted Missile Turrets.

If I played Zerg, I'd say Lurker, Defiler, and Scourge the most.

[Inpox]

Come and help to kill them in battle royale 2 :P

[SOGEKING]

Infested Terran !!!
