Starcraft 2 - Colossus Meltdown

[WoWfan924]

this was uploaded 19 may 2007? wth! the sc2 beta began early 2009! has to be fake, beside, the colossus attack and the banelings looked so ridiculus and stupid

[NecroAsFuck]

@WoWfan924 It's just old footage.

[TheOfficialTHOC]

That IGN almost looks like it belongs there.

[Tubeobert]

Colossi with a Voidray-style focus attack is a nice idea, actually. Now imagine Voidrays with Colossus-style area attacks!

[IaHulg]

can't believe, SC2 was so in Beta )

[kickthecat75]

i heard... this is old footage of SC2

[StelarCF]

@jackassboyer ah right

just that excluding the thing only extreme noobs do mass zerglings still stand

[l33tpwnzord]

oh shit oh shit oh shit ohs shit oh shit

[QwertySkill]

@Sunblazeer

there really squishy tho... they get owned by hyrdralisks/stalkers/marines :/

[Errorkid2121]

you can se its old cause the collusus do splash dmg and dont do a continues beam in the beta or the game

[kopackjm]

@Errorkid2121 could be a modification in the editor...

[firemage928]

don't they do splash damage though....

[dsagentutube]

That last one:

OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!

HA! I found a cliff.

[DarkEman245]

you can do War of the Worlds with the collossusses.

[Joe22c]

The Colossus seems to be the most useless unit based on all the replays (battle reports) on the starcraft 2 official site.

Zerglings rape them, hydralisks rape them, terran infantry in general rape them.

I think they've been a bit over nerfed.

[icefall1793]

@Joe22c i think they just have a heck of amount of life

[Killswitchrox]

The real problem as I see it is of course how big they are, they draw too much attention and just get wasted as soon as they're seen... Though they seem to do untold damage if they are let alone.

[FlamboyantPencil]

Like in the original SC, if you see a carrier, you wanna go for them ASAP, which lowers their life expectancy a lot.

[hxcnoah]

@Joe22c dude its the same as like thors being deezed but getting ripped by zerglings

the point of the game is that you can't mass one unit (except for like a quick rush, which massive units arent part of)

instead you're supposed to make a balanced army that can work against multiple things

obviously everything has things its good against and bad against

thats how you make a good game

and you probably haven't played the game

[Joe22c]

@hxcnoah

Yes, I probably haven't played the game considering it's not out yet, Sherlock.

[hxcnoah]

@Joe22c lol too bad i have cuz i have the beta

sucka

[cassiaro]

@Joe22c Zerglings don´t rape them. It's completely otherwise, Colossus are effective against zerglings, zealots and marines. I often stop rushes from those units with a single Colossus. Now if you have 2 or 3 airships, then the Colossus is done for.

[Joe22c]

@cassiaro

Why is my comment still being discussed? I wrote it more than 4 months ago.

We've seen like 8 patches since then. It's obviously no longer valid lol.

[cassiaro]

@Joe22c Oh I didn´t even see that just saw the video now heheh

[Longquark]

Sweet jesus, Colossus lasers powering up sound awesome.

[ZSh0ck]

That weapon sure has some range.

[doodleboy1000]

yeh luckily they nerfed it alot so its just 1 beam the shoots from left to right once or else it would be to powerful

[UltimaWeaponVIII]

oh good, it had me worried

[seepnenga]

those are like war of the worlds

[11LANE11]

anyone else think this is startin to look a lot like halo wars?

[lostinchaos]

no cause all these units were made before halo wars even thought about coming out with a game like this

[11LANE11]

i meant halo wars was copying starcraft

[varminhunter37]

i heard they can get attacked by anti air units n missel turrets

[LeoBliksem]

@varminhunter37 yep antie air and turrets can hit Colossus but chance also damage beam form Colossus now in beta they do not long beam but realy short take 2 secs or something

[guifrizzera2005]

@varminhunter37 yes they can get attacked be anti air turret, and by air unit using air to air weapon class

[NoobsGetOwned4Life]

wait colossus CANT attack air right?

[Flamungus]

ROFL! That looks so overpowered with the ability to walk up and down ledges! Awesome! :O

[trollvoodoopriest]

Other units (not just protoss) will be given this capability too.

It's really not overpowered, it's basically like it being half an air unit... it's still restricted by buildings and large cliffs.

[PokeMeorDie]

didnt u c the reapers

[leudin]

they should make better death animations, i hope they change it so it doesnt just break apart and collapse

[cliffyp2003]

wtf are those little green things

[leudin]

they evolve from zerglings, their filled with liquid that explodes when them roll into something, lol.

could you imagine 200 population cap of little bomb bubbles?

[cliffyp2003]

so many people just gonna spam those and kill all(including me :P)

[richcoolerearth]

The colossus is a cool unit.

I feel sorry for that poor Nydus worm.

[CaptnAwesome]
