Did they say anything of the new zerg units yet?

[Immortalrulez]

if u know any or found out the new zerg units please tell me cause ZERG RULES!!!!

[orphean]

Nydus Worms, bane-something or others that are little acid balls that zerglings evolve into that chase things down and suicide all over them for Massive Damage<tm>

[mc2]

ground version of Scourge........

but wait the zerg already have infested terran...................

[10-Neon]

It is very possible that Banelings are replacing Infested Terrans, especially since it would remove the Zerg's dependence on the presence of a Terran base to even make them.

[mc2]

hahahaha.......would banelings have the same 500 damage as infest terrans?

[orphean]

Probably not but they'll be really easy to make. Just select your zerg, and evolve them. And boom. Banelings.

[PainKiller]

I guess that they don't take the 500 dmg as the Infested Terran..
You can see at the gameplay video that the Zerg had no problem making a good damn army of those bomberlings ;D
So I guess they are cheap ;)
If they do a big 500 spash dmg then they will toly pwn, but then they should not have much HP.
Or they could not take 500 dmg and have a litle more HP:P

[orphean]

Blizz is going to make the Zerg players happy and give them shields just to mess with everyone else ;)

[bazzwano]

I hope they keep the infested terran mayb give it a diferent attack. a melee

[Gold]

infested terrans were in no way fair, the fact that you could ony get them when fighting a terran player sort of garuntees that there not coming back.

[Fenix]

I think with the death of Infested Terrans, they're also killing the Queen.

Because seriously, any one else could do Spawn Broodlings.

[Pix]

...And I guess the Nydus Worm spells the demise of the Nydus Canal?
Mobile transportation vs. Stationary transportation... hmm... let me think... =P

Well, we don't have any idea how the Nydus Worm works yet... it may not be anything like the Nydus Canal, and the "Nydus" in the worm's name is just to confuse us and then make us jump out the window of a 20-story building in frustration.

Banelings do around 40 damage, by the way.

The only thing that we know this far may be the fact that the worm doesn't need creep to pop out.

[reject_666_6]

Banelings do more than 40 damage. When the Colossus was running and the Bling exploded, the Colossus got a bit farther away from the centre of the blast and took only reduced splash damage.

[starcraft2iscoming]

Give infested terrans a Kerrigan attack, just no special abilitys.

[Protoss Kills Infinitely]

Yer how could the banelings only do 40 damage :no: :powerdown: they killed all the non-hurt zealots in 1 hit and im sure they've got more than 20hp/shield!!!

[burkid]

watch the gameply vid carefully, when the last colossus is running away, it gets hit by a baneling and goes from 53 hp to 14. thats 39 damage.

[Piretes]

Read the above posts burkid; splash damage could be the culprit. And the Toss was cheating so who knows..

[burkid]

or it could be that blizz only gave banelings 9 TIMES MORE DAMAGE than zerglings, so if you are getting swarmed by lings, and then they morph to banelings so they dont do 100 damage to everything. going much higher than 40 dmg for banelings would be overpowered.

the zealots got owned because they were already weakened by fighting all the lings, then were meleeing suicide units, so if they managed to survive one, theyd charge straight to the next.

and with the colossi, they got hit by like 6 banelings.

That's got to be 1 natural armor.

[burkid]

i was thinking it was because the shields regenerated a bit while it was running

[paragon]

Banelings probably do somewhere closer to 100 damage or nobody would get them.

[opm]

regardless they're probably not an out of the box morph ability. you'd have to upgrade to get that i'd imagine.

there hasn't been much news out about zerg. sounds like they'll be the last race to be created and balanced?

Bold Statement...whats your source?

[Light]

ehe...''big monsters with tusks''....u here from sc2boards to talk about ***** enlargements? welcome to the forums btw.

[Light]

Ultralisk.
We do not know if blizzard will keep it. They have said little about zerg or terran units. We will just have to wait and see.

[drewcbarnard]

Ultralisk man.. lol...Welcome to the forums btw ;)

[CodyFallsForth]

If they were to keep the ultralisk, i want it to be more...Ultra...

[paragon]

yeah the starcraft 1 ultralisk is more like a mehlisk

[CodyFallsForth]

More of a Wasteofatonofresourceslisk

[alucardx]

Nydus worms... somekind of ground-massive-transport... somehow they´re impressive but... théy can´t hurt you... and you can easily kill´em.. if they don´t spit ultras on you hehe

Zerglings are back... and they can sacrifice themselves for the swarm... Maybe it was too hard to achieve infested terrans so zerg race found a way to conserve the huge suicide damage,, in the cheapest unit.

I´m not really sure but Zergs will have a new air unit ( if you watch the cinematics trailer, it looks like a flying epic creature.. so, terrans and protoss use to have the advantage on air attacks... maybe it´s over... I don´t know yet but it´s a fact that zerg flying units were easily took down by the other races.

[burkid]

that flying thing in the cinematic trailer is a mutalisk.

[paragon]

there's a flying zerg thingy in the trailer and it's EPIC and its ZERG?!?!?! omg where? all i saw were stupid mutalisks.

[slugonice]

DELETE the INFESTED MARINES
GO BANELINGS!

[opm]

two points i'd like to make

first just because i have the nydus worm doesn't mean i might not want to use the nydus canal. they have their purpose, particularly since the canal is a building and has a longer life, as opposed to the worm which i'm assuming is a unit, with the life of a drop ship.

secondly, killing the queen can't happen unless you trade it in for a similar unit. it's purpose is too specific and was specifically developed to counter terran and large armored units (i.e. siege tanks). Any new unit would only have more spells. In my mind i'd prefer a mobil dark swarm ability with a cool down, or a larvae releaser that drops 3 larvae on any spot and you can build units with them (equivalent to the marine drop pod).

[Protosscommander]

Yes, I dont think infested terrans will be back. The banelings will replace them for sure. Why would u bother with trouble of infesting a command center when you can just build these!


Those Infested Terrans, will return, i hope so, because if you are using or controling the Zerg this are the only thing that can prove that you crush the Terran Command center, and its also symbolized by the Zerg power to Infest .

[ManInTheShadows]

there's a flying zerg thingy in the trailer and it's EPIC and its ZERG?!?!?! omg where? all i saw were stupid mutalisks.


Yep, itm looks as if the mutalisk is here to stay. Why did the protoss get a replcement air unit and not he zerg?

But one thing for certain, Bizzard had better not mess up the hydralisk, or there will be some seious hell to pay.

And as for the banelings, if they do more than 40 or 50 damage it willbe way to strong, you could easily rush qa base and destroy many key buildings and cripple a player.

[burkid]

Why did the protoss get a replcement air unit and not he zerg?

because the protoss tactical air (scout) was sucking and the zerg tactical (muta) air wasnt.
