What don't you like so far about starcraft 2?

[surr]

I know its great and we are all excited but what don't you like about starcraft 2 so far...


I personally dislike the tempest vs the carrier :upset:


I added a poll if u think of more things ill add it on their :)

[[LightMare]]

tempest rocks! aiur is destroyed, so not much fancy gold plating anymore. i don't really like the soul hunter, but it's really early to decide. they might change things on us.

[MrFrancko]

I chose the mothership because I don't see the need for a super unit in the SC universe. I know Blizz will manage to make the game even in the end but I think they didn't need to add it in the first place and are creating more work for themselves in the end.

[Itsmyship]

I personally dislike the Colossus...it seems like a unit who's cost will override its usefulness

[SirBaron]

Yes, i completely agree. I find it quite contradictory to claim "that starcraft is still a game where large armies fight against large armies" and then invent some stupid, extremely costly super unit that goes down with barely no effort and some skillful microing.

[capthavic]

Honestly, that SC2 isn't out yet. That's it.

[paragon]

I dislike soul hunters, tempests replacing carriers, the fact that someone voted "star relic replaces arbiter", and the simplistic textures on some buildings and units.


I personally dislike the Colossus...it seems like a unit who's cost will override its usefulness

Just like the scout and the ultralisk

[PowerkickasS]

i was gonna pick warp rays but you didnt have that there
so im definitely picking ugly looking siege tanks with their big fat-red-lips-looking cannontip.....

[PrivateJoker]

The thing I hate the most about Starcraft II is that it has not been released yet! 8)

[PrivateJoker]

Actually I think the red lipped siege tanks are super sexy. Every time I see those tanks I jsut want to leap ontop of one of them and start making out with its cannon...those are some damn fine lips girl...i would say, and then the siege tank would blow my head off....THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBOOOOOOOM!

[PowerkickasS]

*vomit* lol :P

[[LightMare]]

you've got a knack for double and triple posting....
i doubt colossus will be that expensive. and just you wait, the mothership and colossus will smack you in the face, and you'll hate yourself for dissing them

[ZeiDjon]

I simply cant understand why (some)people hate the fact that there is all these new units to SC2, this is not and Expansion, this is a sequel, and even though i really think there should have been a fourth race, i love that they try to keep the feel about SC1 and replacing most of the units with new units, that have abilities which wasnt in SC1, and the reason is new strategy new units that you have to learn how to "master", we all know how to play SC1, we even though we didnt get the fourth race i am looking forward to learn a hole new and different game, see you guys on Bnet... ;)

ZeiDjon

[paragon]

There really should not ever be a fourth race. Ever.
And they aren't replacing most of the units, they are replacing some of them.
And nobody hates the fact that there are new units, they dislike the particular units because they do not seem useful/are stupid.
For example. The Soul Hunter is stupid because it has a hoverboard. Hoverboards are stupid. Nobody would actually use something like that on a battlefield as they offer no protection whatsoever. It is more a tool for a scout unit to use but Soul Hunters are not scouts. Also, they look increasing stupid the more of them there are.

I also dislike the new look of the siege tank.

[LoserInLosing]

Siege Tanks Look Terrible look like toys from toys r us... wat were also terrible were the soul hunters.... getting stronger after fallen enemies??/ Where did that come from...

[paragon]

It's cause they suck out their soul. Or they just suck. One of those.
Blizz really has to pick it up in the texture department. Maybe a few high poly bakes to liven them up.

[Ishe]

I think the mothership could be cool.. but its going to be tageted as soon as any1 sees in in a game they will just hammer it. I hope they dont change it to much more units would be cool though.

[PowerkickasS]

ingame reaper looked alrite
but their portrait is lame

dropship was alrite as well
WHY DONT THE MAKE THE BATTLECRUISERS HUMONGOUS CARRIERS LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO BE ARRGGGHHHHHH

[paragon]

The terran barracks looks ugly. I mean, the model looks basically the same but it looks like it is glass and i'm going to break it.

[FlyingTiger]

haha man u r so critical of the texture

everything will be alright in the end ^_^

[paragon]

Thats because I'm a texture artist. I see things differently knowing exactly what goes in to making them.

[concreteasflesh]

I voted for the Soul Hunter... it looks like that stupid Silver Surfer from Fantastic Four with some plasma beam... I consider it weak and not in the Universe Ide expect from the Protoss. It fits neigther into the Khala or the Dark Templar... But i also dont enjoy the Temptests disc units or the infirior looking Pheonix. So far weve only really seen protoss and im interested in what crazy new Terran and Zerg concepts they will bring out in the coming weeks as well. The Seige tank does look like it has some lipstick love goin on its monkey lip as well. . . . .

[Itsmyship]

You hate the Pheoinx? I think that's the only unit I've heard that people DON'T hateÂ* (along with the stalker) :P It sure as hell better than the Scout

[paragon]

I also dislike the fact that the Goliath is so far unrevealed. They better have the Goliath in SC2 cause it's my favorite unit in terms of how it looks.

[PowerkickasS]

it needs more weapons :D
love the look of their guns. the portrait artwork is even better imo :)

[MrFrancko]

Well, siege tank look is winning in votes by far! It's not just siege tanks though, I think the entire terren race looks too new :\


You may have hit the nail on the head there... I was trying to figure out what I didn't like about the terran's graphics. You're right, they look new. I always thought of them a gritty and war torn.

[Light]

marines with shields! abomination! blasphemy! aaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! toy shields!

[surr]

added warp rays

[Ych9]

I voted for the new Siege Tanks look.

Soul Hunter is right next to the Siege tanks look in my book though.
Other than those 2, I'm loving everything else about SC2.

[paragon]

Nice avatar Ych9, I wish they would use those instead of the Soul Hunters.

[FlyingTiger]

I also dislike the fact that the Goliath is so far unrevealed. They better have the Goliath in SC2 cause it's my favorite unit in terms of how it looks.


It's my favorite terran unit to play with. ^_^ I really hope its going to be in SC2 too.

[surr]

Hey can the immortals attack air units??

[paragon]

They should be able to seeing as their guns point upwards in the animation on starcraft2.com

[PrivateJoker]

They should be able to seeing as their guns point upwards in the animation on starcraft2.com


I wouldn't be surprised if Immortals attacks are powerful against "large" type units. Meaning they will be strong against large air units...BCs, Tempests, Motherships etc.

[coalescence]

'reapers replace firebat' we don't know that...

I voted for the phoenix replacing the scouts and corsairs. I always made good use of both of them and I hate the idea for that phoenix.

[surr]

so the stalkers are gona be more obsolete? and one more thing i dont get about hardened shields..
immortals: hmm about 10 zerglings are coming our way lets be prepared!
immortal 2: great idea but one sugestion lets NOT activate our shields
immortal 3: ok but why??
immortals 2:if u suddenly see siege tanks we should conserve for heavy hits
immortal: mean while we get obliberated but zerglings??
immortal 2: thats the idea!

[paragon]

but the scout was so much money compared to it's worth. havent you seen my cost benefit analysis of it compared to the carrier?

[FlyingTiger]

haha but the thing is that the immortals have two types of shield and one of them happens to be a specialized shield against siege attacks.

[Ych9]

Nice avatar Ych9, I wish they would use those instead of the Soul Hunters.


Thanks. Yea, I posted this idea in the Blizzard forum about it.
Soul Hunter should simply remodel it to the Vindicator and rename it to that too.

For those who don't know what the Protoss Vindicator is, it's a SC:Ghost unit that carries a gun just like what the Soul Hunter is carrying.

[paragon]

Another thing I just remembered that I don't like about starcraft 2 is that the reapers always have their jump jet engines around. They always hover around on them rather than walking. They have legs don't they? Well then they should walk.

[Arachanox]

Um, if I had a jet pack, I would fly, not walk. ^^

But I voted for Soul Hunters. They are so NOT Protoss! All Protoss units must either be:
-a. A mechincal unit such as the carrier, reaver, or corsair.
-b. A ground unit that DOES NOT fly, float, or levitate in any way.

The Terrans would have been more suited for a hoverboard-surfing marine than the Protoss.

[Piretes]

Siege Tank look. Period.

It's the only thing that really bothers me, the Soul Hunter inspires mixed feelings, as does the Mothership, yet the rest is two thumbs up!!

[surr]

maybe someone should sent the vote to blizzard so many ppl dislike the new siege tanks

[paragon]

I don't think 13 people is that big of an impact.

[shirija]

I am not looking forward to photon cannons. In SC 1 so many successful zerg rushes were foiled only because protoss had expansion filled with photon cannons and just turtled up. Now they move...

[paragon]

There seems to be two types of cannons, photon and phase. We don't know that it was replaced because we have seen both.

[generalrievous]

I think they need to ditch the phase cannons and soul huntas

[Remy]

There seems to be two types of cannons, photon and phase. We don't know that it was replaced because we have seen both.


I think phase cannons will most likely be a researched upgrade for photon cannons.Â* But with WC3 having multiple types of static D per race, there still is the chance that photon and phase are two different sturcture types.

Back on topic, I voted for tanks.Â* As it seems, they got some renaming to do in SC2.Â* They need to rename Terran to Toy, Phase Cannon to ***** Ghost Fairy, and Soul Hunter to Fagbag.

[PowerkickasS]

LOL
holy shiz i c fagbags!

[thitian]

i personally expected a bit more of sc2 from what we know of protoss yet a broodwar2 would have done it too for the few new units...
they seriously better release some more totally new units for each race
right now it looks like a warmed up sc bw to me and thats not enough after 10y...

wahahahahahha. lol. you guys are funny.

malicious you just gave me an idea. surely im going to make some of those just to kill time and til starcraft 2 arrives. all who are good in photoshop should make one like this.

yes, :powerup: to you malicious.

[DontHate]

rofl nice pics!

[Lemonparty]

Siege tank new look, it's plain retarded.
And I'm surprised that Immortals are all shiny and golden, with Aiur destroyed and Shakura beeing the new protoss' home (a planet without real light) they should all become like the Tempest, aka dark.

[paragon]

Well the high templar and their stuff have to keep some of their distinguishing things around. Since immortals contain critically injured followers of the khala, it's gotta be gold.

[dlaxmcm]

if they added a fourth race every unit would we so criticized they would have to take it out.

plus i think ppl dont want a new race

[paragon]

Those people include Blizzard.

[surr]

i agree a new race would be hard to balance and for people to accept

[Hito]

Siege Tanks sure looks like Toys =/ so do other stuff in the game aswell. :(
Marines with shield, think they would be cooler without.
Soul Hunters getting stronger after each kill? Does that really fit into Starcraft?

Otherwise, think the game looks awsome :)

[paragon]

Marines with shield, think they would be cooler without.

Check out the new screenshot on the colossus page, it has marines without shields.

[Remy]

Now that's the marine we know and love.

[beBoy]

I personally don't like the idea of sucking soul = more attack. Unit kill is an AI and luck thing, if I have a bunch of soul hunters and go for hunting, the chance of getting a 3 on at least one of the hunters would be so big (if not 100%) that it would become a very easy thing to get a wickedly good 3-beams sould hunter army...

I don't like tempest... why not keep the old name Carrier and just make them look different?

let me add more later :-)

[beBoy]

Now that's the marine we know and love.


I see both shielded marines and non-shield marines in the screenshot (no shield) and the flash animation (shielded). It seems that the shielding is an upgrade (most likely in the new add-on at barrack).

[paragon]

Ah yeah thats probably what the add on to the barracks will do. Or something similar. I always found it odd how the barracks had a point that looked like it would be where an add on would go but that it didn't have an add on.

[TEDurden]

I like the idea of shielded marines, but they definitely need to change the look to more of a riot/SWAT shield instead of the toy shield they've got going right now. I don't like anything about soul hunters. How do they fit into the starcraft universe at all??

[paragon]

Give em this but more futuristic:
http://www.bakerbatshield.com/products/batshield.asp

[Waller_Baer]

soul sucking should stay in wc
i dun think sc has much room for the afterlife

i love the tempest! like a gust of wind the lil bladed-interceptors shall decend and proceed to shred
besides, the carriers were like top-teir productions of the conclave, which if i recall correctly, has been wiped out
although in the 'leaked' pcgamer preview, they didn't really do squat to a group of tightly packed marines

visually, the siege tanks new lips aren't exactly dangerous
although im sure any blizzard-made unit could be accepted with a proper background story

[paragon]

The conclave moved into their floating city motherships, they weren't wiped out.


And the fix for the siege tank wouldn't even take long. Just remove the team color from the end of the tank's siege gun.

[Remy]

It isn't that simple. It's all about using the right makeup remover to keep those fat lips plump and sexy.

[paragon]

Gimme that texture and I could fix that tank up in less than a minute.

[PowerkickasS]

hey someone voted "because there's starcraft 2" lol

[Light]

probs that antistarcraftactivist d00d. or one of us.....u know....PowerkickasS...






lolz, joke

[jaywalker]

i want to say that i don't like the new look of the siege tank, but the looks of the soul hunter is just... seriously it looks like some zealot on a surfboard and i really don't like it.

[[LightMare]]

the fact that they have not yet released the terran units on the website :P

[mc2]

I really miss the iconic carrier, although it's cool that the tempest can have 12 interceptors, I still like the look and feel of carriers.

The marine is another thing that should be there, I mean that's the most basic unit right? For balance sake, it should be any gagets

Finally, I personally think siege tanks looked better in SC1

[Remy]

12 interceptors? Wow! Has this been confirmed? That's quite a big jump from last time.

[paragon]

Yes, it was 'confirmed' by me when the leaked video came out. When one of the tempests explodes I counted the interceptor explosions and there were 12.

[drewcbarnard]

hey someone voted "because there's starcraft 2" lol



Thats honestly too funny...who joins a SC2 forum and picks that?...lol.. I'm laughing so hard right now it's ridiculous!

Wow, that's pretty crazy.

Nice work btw.

[Patuljak]

What I don't like is mainly visual stuff, like siege tanks' new look. And the whole concept of soul hunters. They just don't seem to fit in >:(

[Sikhye23]

i don't like the reapers at all, theyre too reminiscent of warhammer 20k and i hated that game, the firebats were much more of a complete, developed and importantly distinct unit from the marines than the reapers. reapers and marines are too much like each other. Firebats instead of guns had flamethrowers and it added texture to the game. also i dont like the configuration of the immortals, the layout for the dragoon in my opinion was cooler.

finally having too many beam weapons looks really irritating when fighting a battle, the protoss seem to have too many of those so all their units look generic. One thing i really fear is that sc2 is going to be too rigid in terms of unit flexibility, i mean i would hate to see that a certain unit is only vulnerable to another unit, and only effective against another unit. When i saw the warp rays for the protoss i got that impression.

but i will say that ghost's gun looks awesome = )

[Remy]

Firebats were actually one of the most "rigid" units in SC1. Reapers also have flamethrowers btw.

[burkid]

reapers 'may' have flamethrowers.

[Hito]

After some time of consideration, I think I hate Soul Hunters more then I hate the new Siege Tank, and the Shielded Marines. Reapers I think is cool though, never really liked Terran, but that unit fell into my taste.

The Soul Hunters sure looks like a Zealot on a surfboard (as mentioned earlier), and green beams that drain souls and make the Soul Hunter stronger, that is just so NOT Starcraft at all. beBoy had a nice point in his post about the Soul Hunters.

So can we hope to god that someone from Blizzard reads whats on these forums? I sure as hell do. =)

/Cheers to y'all

[Itsmyship]

Actually...I think Soul Hunters look more like Grunts from Halo playing Hobgoblin. Plus, the green beams are OBVIOUSLY Soul Steal, which they learned from the Undead Warlocks that crash landed on Shakuras and tought them their ways :)

[Hito]

Hehe, yeah well, no. We dont want green beams in Starcraft do we? We dont want some silly warlocks from Warcraft to come into Starcraft. That might have some bad influence, and end up with some really really bad results, Starcraft 3 becomes World Of Starcraft. We dont want that do we. (well ok, maybe a Starcraft 3 can be a World Of Starcraft, who knows it might be ok)
But please, Green beams stealing souls making them stronger...

And once again whats up with all the colors? cant we keep Warcraft for the kids and Starcraft for the more "mature" audience.
I want Starcraft 2 to be more, raw/hard, dark, bloody, slimy etc.
I think Blizz has gotten a little high on the cute Warcraft universe. Let it go.

[Itsmyship]

Well then again, they probably didn't do the dark colors on purpose. I just thought that with the tech they had 10 years ago, the colors wouldn't look as bright as they are now. I'm sure its not something they just got from WC but just a side-effect of having better tech...which is brighter colors. One thing I will not tolerate from them though is if they take out the swearing...
the swearing = unremovable

[Hito]

When I talk colors I mean that the team-color is, alot. If the weapons in the game have color, thats ok. But making the units bright and colorfull, makes them look like toys. To much color, or just bad placement of color/textures? Maybe both.

[Itsmyship]

Hmmmm, mind rephrasing that? Sorry I couldn't understand it ???

[lilchibikun]

i chose the mothership. cuz they said you wont have ability to recruit heros right? then this "superunit" is practically stronger than a hero, yet ur allowed to build it? O_o

[Hito]

Reply to Itsmyship
When I say that Starcraft is to colorful, its not becuse weapons "shoot out" colorful stuff. Its becuse many units have alot of color on them. And all that color seem the be the Team-color. (All units have to have a team color so you know wich team they belong to :P) And it there seem to be alot of that color on the units. Its just, to much. It could also be that the color is place in such bad areas on the units that make them look bad, for example, at the tip of the cannon on the Siege Tank.

Did that make it any clearer? I Hope so, cuse im going to bed now. =)
nn

[Itsmyship]

Ahhh gotcha. I think that was what i was talking about. The color with everything is hightened most likely because we have tech that's 10 years older. I don't really think its the colors that annoy you as much as how the buildings look (more bulbous, less sharper points, etc.) And with the siege tank...yeah i hate it too, i'm preety sure its unanimous, and let's just hope and pray that blizz changes that :)

[Ghost]

I think that those green beams are a nice change to the old blue/red beams.

[paragon]

it's their use of normal maps that really does it. Yes it does make things look better lit but if not does right it looks like the "shrink wrap" filter on photoshop.

[evolved326]

I dont like how the new dragoons look egyptian
I loved the old carrier look, the new one does not look so menacing
the new reaver looks less menacing as well. Why are they so small?
The thing I hate most is the mothership. It looks too homely and cute. And I do not think it fits with the protoss's arsenal.

I hope they do not make a 4th race unless it brings something new tactically. You lose a unit when u make a building as zerg. The Terran require an SCV to take time and build. And prostoss just warps in and can proceed to do other tasks. And yet its all balanced. How cool is that!

[Lemonparty]

Proofs that races aren't balanced:

Your average Asian on an Asia server will have 50% score. Your average Asian on an US server will have a 75%+ score.
RACES ARE NOT BALANCED!

[Goliath Online]

:( Bye firebats..

[SmirkySmirker]

i'm getting really sceptical about whether or not starcraft 2 will be the game it should be -_-

[paragon]

you'll get over it. just play another strategy game that gets high reviews... they are out there and they are fun.

[tweakismyname]

I think yeah the tank design is incrdably stupid, i mean its like a square, sooooooo stupid. they used to have a great looking design :(

those marines with real shields? they look like a toy now i mean i would be ok with shields like the protoss cause extra hitpoints is extra hitpoints no matter which way u spin it. at least with protoss (like) shields they wouldent have that toy feel to them :bad:

as for the soul hunters, Eh so they are on a board and deal extra damage the more kills i mean it was gonna happen eventualy to something i just thought it would be a zerg with enrage or something like that its not that bad they are preaty weak. :-\

The mothership is SO DUMB! i mean it has awesome abilitys but c'mon they look incredably cheap i mean just wait till they attack with a fleet and use planet cracker (for ground) or black hole (air) and wipe em out then launch a counter attack + only one? wasent the point of starcraft you could get as much of whatever you wanted to attack with? they are gonna probably now have some all powerful zerg ability of like a swarm of locasts that eat everything just to compensate. :P

[Lemmy]

Those banelings are garbage. At least lurkers had a similar look to hydras, but banelings have nothing to do with lings. Aside for that the name is extremely crappy. Everyithing bout them sucks. If you want a suicide zerg give the larvas the ability to turn suicide and then explode after ten seconds if you dont use them. It would be a good rush or drop stoper. Tho i say: Screw it all. At least make it a hive level upgrade, so we dont have to use/deal with them most of the game.

The soul hunters are **** too. The graphics, specilly the name. And the ability to gow more powerfull... how the f**k do i know which of my"soul hunters" is the stronger one? Besides, when i played C&C y had the habit of trying to make all my units veterans. I dont wanna have to deal w my adiction here, trying to make all my soul hunters top.

Mother ship? Please, not in multiplayer. Maybe even not at all.

Shields? At least dont make them look like roman legion shields.

[tweakismyname]

i agree with the banelings if your gonna have something that blows up make it a high level upgrade OR make it have extremely low HP like the scorges do.

[Lemmy]

Oh.. and karumes avatar. It sucks. Looks like W3 shaman animations. Make it slower. Its supposed to be a wise and mysterious unit, not cocaine sniffer.

[tweakismyname]

u said that on ur last post, dont double post for no reason + its not on topic (neither is this but i dont care)

[Remy]

You speak as if you know for sure that banelings are low tech and have high HP. How interesting.

[tweakismyname]

i never ment to im just hoping it turns out one of those ways ;-)

[Lemmy]

You speak as if you know for sure that banelings are low tech and have high HP. How interesting.


Does it matter?

[Remy]

Last time I checked, this was the "What don't you like so far about starcraft 2?" thread, not "Create random scenarios and rant about it" thread.

So yea, it kinda does.

[surr]

I think the soul hunters from the dark templers void energy...W/e they got to please the Wc3ers.. but i would hate the Twlight Archon if it does not have feed back/mind control/maelstrom.... crazy attack and large shield.... i think at least 2 of my skills will be screwed

[burkid]

i think there is nothing wrong with the tank.
i think the soul hunter needs to be given a chance
i think marine shields are great
i think banelings will be fun to use

am i gonna get shot now or are you people gonna stop ranting?

[tweakismyname]

shoot him! i agree on 2 of those answers banelings and soul hunter, but the others! what an insult! if your gonna go on about the greatness of everything why are you posting in the " what i dont like about starcraft 2 forum? " oh and i also dont like that they have only showed use 3 zerg units! what am i going to do to get my fix? broodwar here i come.

[Major Willy]

Brood War isn't Starcraft 2.

Anyways I like all the stuff people hate, sue me, increase your e-pen0r over the intarwebz using your 1337 ins00lts on me, but I will still like them.

They only showed 3 Zerg units for a reason.
A) That's all they had so far.
B) They don't want to reveal every bit of Starcraft 2 back in May.
C) Zerg and Terran are going to be revealed at e3 and BlizzCon.

[ArchLimit]

Alright, I'll throw my 2 cents in, I guess. I personally liked the banelings idea. We don't know their HP/tech level, but what we DO know is their speed of movement, which seems fair for the amount damage they will probably be able to do. It seemed to take the Colossus a couple seconds to kill off a baneling from the video, so it probably won't be low HP like the scourge, but like I said, given the speed, it looks like it would have a hard time reaching a target straight up anyway. Anyone think about what it would be like for a mass baneling drop?

And as far as the Soul Hunters go, we CAN give them a chance, especially given that the Soul Hunters aren't officially "out" yet. I understand that they were presented in a "leaked" video, and so I'm thinking that there might be still possible edits to their look.

Finally, I really do stand by those who are critical of the seige tank look. It's a unit that denotes so much power and raw destruction, and it looks like the shells are coming out of a plastic toy. I really hope to God they change it up a bit.

Well, I saw this thread and just had to post on it. First, I hate that new tank design color-wise. Second, I don't really like the soul hunters, but like said before, I'll give them a chance. The other thing I don't like is that this game isn't expected to come out until next year. The Marine's shield is in fact an upgrade and affect hp. I like how the Reapers replace the firebats. The firebats were almost useless against the protoss anyway.

EDIT- AUGUST brings good news to Zerg users. Zerglings are staying. They in fact transform into Banelings! (Banelings are suicidal)

They had nice firepower against Zealots but they were still overpowered by Psi Blades and shields.

The one thing I don't like about Starcraft 2 is how some people have already saying they hate units... and they haven't played them. But thumbs up to PZFan, he's actually going to give it a chance when we can get our hands on atleast a demo.

what i dont like so far? is that already so many lil brats and wastes of semen are complaining oh i hate this and i hate that oh mommy dont buy me the tempest it suxzorz. you really cant complain at a game that we have only seen pre-balance demos and unfinished products of. especially the gameplay vid that is totally unbalanced not that its unfinished but that the presenters totally tweaked abilities to make a better "whooooa" factor..think about it, has blizzard ever let you down? just sit on your spoiled lil bottoms and wait patiently until next year, have mommy and daddy buy it for you and then speak up. much love, peace out.

and even if blizzard keeps the tank the same what are you gonna do? not buy it? when your playing terran your gonna say "i dont want no monkey lip tank" and not build them and get raped. or if someone is terran and has tanks, "oh i dont like that unit so im not gonna have anything to do with it". are you going to change your strategy to the un-ugly units only rush?? your not gonna invest in ugly(they are ugly but look useful) soul hunters to 1337ZOR PWN enemy infantry? then dont even buy it and go play Dawn of War or C&C3....but on another note i hope blizzard caters to everyones wants and needs and creates custom units, you can choose the hair color, skin tone, and body type so you can make your own sexy units and be a happy lil camper. cuz every single person needs to be satisfied right?? yep.

Last time I checked, this was the "What don't you like so far about starcraft 2?" thread, not "Create random scenarios and rant about it" thread.

So yea, it kinda does.


Well im sorry you are so concerned about what other people do. Surely your position as "golbal moderator" gives you the right to go around telling people what to do.

Go **** yourself, idiot. Leave us alone. No one needs your smart mouthed garbage. Were just having quite some fun chatting without you coming here to impose your fascism.

[Major Willy]

Lemmy not taking sides here but you kind of pretend to be buddy buddy with everyone in this forum (from what I've just read) but you're only at 12 posts...

that was completely uncalled for! Remy is a good mod, and became one by having good posts. just because someone opposed your beliefs doesnt mean you need to cuss them out!

[surr]

guys stop arguing in my thread plz i like to hear stuff worthwhile not random insults

[Hadean]

Only thing I'm not really fond of is hoverboarding protoss that'll prolly yell cowabunga as they kill their enemies. And the fact that I dont get to giggle at the game with my massive Carrier fleet. Carriers just look so bad ass. The tempest just looks like a blue/grayish Warp ray with a few doodads tucked in.

*edit* And anyone who denotes the usefulness of the Firebat (which is slightly lame not having) has never put one or two in a bunker mid-game having them save you from a Zealot or Ling rush.

[thrif]

Mothership, NO doubt. Strong units are good, overpowered aren't.

[Lemmy]

Yeah im sorry. I got a little carried away there.. Its just that it sickens me when people come and try to act "smart" and "ironic". Im sorry man, but dont go around being bigmouthed, you know exactly what I mean.


As long as the mothership can be lock-downed or emp-shockwaved, it cant be dealt with.. I wonder tho, what a zerg player can do against it.

[Major Willy]

Build assloads and assloads of Scourge.

[Lemmy]

Yeah but the black hole thing would suck them

[Major Willy]

Emphasis on assloads. The first and second.

Have them come from more than 1 direction.

[concreteasflesh]

have a queen or queen like unit ensare it, chase it down with scourge and devourers, if they havent evolved into some other crazy anti air units yet . . . .

[ProtossZealotfan]

lol its been awhile since i was last here but.. someone else voted for "the fact there is a starcraft 2" lol... i wonder who it was.

[BirdofPrey]

WTF NECROPOSTING

We need a revote though since alot has been changed

[SOGEKING]

The Colossus design must be changed, or just delete the colossus and replace it by another unit that burns the marines and zerglings.

[Major Willy]

...I like the Colossus design.
It gives off a "hug me, I dare you" feel.
