what must be in starcraft2 from starcraft1

[Merovingian]

what must remain? for me:

terran:marines, siege tanks, goliaths, wraiths, ghosts, battlecruisers.

zerg:zergling, hydralisks, queen, broodlings(^.^), mutalisks, scourge(ESPECIALLY SCOURGE), guardians

toss: zealots, carriers/interceptors(pls blizzard pls dont take them out...)archons, dark templar maybe, arbiter maybe.

i'd like to see reavers stay too, since there has to be somrthing to counter guardians and tanks, and we KNOW tanks are staying from the gameplay vids.

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

btw, we can count on dropships and DUH-Overlords(toss now have thier phase prisms)... unless... there is a new way to control the swarm, perhaps cerebrates? who knows

 

[Merovingian]

i wonder what the overmind would look like with sc2 graphics...?

and yeah, it'd be pretty awesome/lame if the cerebrates now have a physical attack.

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

awesome or lame? which did u mean? or both?

i ddnt mean they'd have an attack, they might just be some possable control supply unit, but i doubt it, just a passing thought

 

[Merovingian]

i mean that if blizzard did good, it'd be awesome, mess up the sound effects, it would be lame.

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

Heh, you sure love your Sound Effects don't you Brain washer?

I somehow doubt the Arbiter and Queen will stick around. The Phase Prism looks too similar to an Arbiter in shape to be a coincidence. Recall has been replaced and stasis field upgraded and on board the Mothership. As for queens, I really REALLY want them to be in, but they just don't seem to be as iconic of the zerg as the could be. They just didn't get enough of the lime light.

 

[Merovingian]

got a point there mate.

lol i remember vowing that if they took SCV's out of the game i wouldnt buy it.

Defiler.

If they take out defiler (or something with similar abilities), i will officially change my favourite race to terran.

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

If they take out a unit I'm sure there will be something to replace it at the very least. Defilers, like Queens, didn't really get a lot of love. But, we shall see. I think Defilers, just for sheer awesome-ness, need to stay. They eat their own guys to fuel their power! Now that is a testament to the relentless Zerg.

i wanna see a better firebat... plus we need more mechs

the bats just ddnt have enough, i think if they damages peeps w/ their asplosions they'd be alot better.

and i wanna see ground units that take-off, so it is a ground/air unit depending on the situation.
-shoulda posted this in eliminating the limits...

 

[Merovingian]

i thought the bats were fine in the first one..

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

eh... maybe i just sucked w/ em.

 

[smiley170]

I don't think the firebat's coming back. We already have Marines, Reapers and Ghosts. That's enough infantry, I'd think.

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

what about medics?

 

[smiley170]

Forgot about them. Maybe in the expansion to SC2?

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

eh, maybe

or they might just take em out... they were kinda cheep...
scv's heal everything mrdics dont... so everything got healed with terrans.

 

[Merovingian]

im guessing if they didnt add original units in the first sc2 then they wouldnt in the expansion.

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

If anything, they would find a new, better way to do Terran infantry. I can't even begin to comprehend what that may be, but I'm excited to find out. They said there would not be that many more units than in the original Starcraft, so we are good for at least as many as in the last game. That's a lot of open design space and there are always certain niches that need filling.

 

[smiley170]

Actually, they said that there will be the exact same number of units as in Broodwar. I find this uneasy and disturbing. I wanted more.
