  • @Kinkseraph mm-hmm... two things i've got to say to that.

    1: "Corrigative" is not a word, nor is it even in the two dictionaries that I just looked in. Unless you've spelled it horribly wrong i'm sure you're just making up big words to just look like a genius. fail.

    2: If you already knew about what my first comment had to say, then ever thought of simply ignoring my comment as opposed to firing off rude remarks? It would have been nice.

  • @Kinkseraph well dont you seem a little rude today, hmm? ¬.¬

  • @Kinkseraph the phase cannon's ability was simply transfered to the spine/spore crawlers, the soul hunter was too powerful of a zerg counter since the zerg's armies are made up of several weak units.

    The tempest being replaced by the unit it originally replaced is kinda ironic, lol. Im sad they didn't keep the name or the silver colour though =(

  • These ideas are pretty nice, but the should not of changed the original style too much.

  • PHASE CANNONS R REALLY COOL UNLIKE PHOTON CANNONS!

  • Soul Hunter became Void Ray.

    I wish phase cannons actually existed.

  • Puase at 2:25, look at the protoss units in the middle of the screen. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!>?>!?!?

  • @DJTerrorest It's a Reaver, it was in SC1, but they removed it from SC2 (or at least in the Multiplayer)

  • @DJTerrorest. looks like a reaver and some stalkers.

  • @DJTerrorest aw!! they are reavers!! didn't notice that! :D

  • Wow what was wrong with this?

    Currently: Carriers suck, archons are worthless (seriously have you even ever used these things? 4 archons have trouble killing 8 hydras..wtf?!). Void rays are OP and overused. Mothership did needed a change but now it's worthless. No one gets cannons besides cannon rushing so those phase cannons woulda been great. Level up based kills to get abilities was a good idea, that's not so Warcraft to me.

  • u fucked up big time on archon lolka :)

  • WOW these fuck holes who are making this game NEVER PLAYED THE ORIGINAL THATS APPARENT. No wonder the beta sucked no wonder i did not buy the game no wonder AnandTech said the game was shit

  • @thedarkbanshee Beta only "sucked" because the game wasn't done yet. Apparently you can call the best RTS game I've ever played in my life shit because a HARDWARE website didn't like it. Way to go. Play the game first, or ever listen to ANY real review site.

    Few things in this video even made it into the final game.

  • @WNxFish I thought it sucked before I read it on AnandTech and its true i have not played the official release I have played the beta. It was shit zerg was usless and its become a click fest of a game who has the fastest clicking skills not the best straggly. I will eventually get the game after I edit the shit out of my beta threw the map editor to make it classic SC with new units. Oh and make the entirely 3D no fixes screen. Yeah why add it as an ability in the editor but not in the game.

  • @thedarkbanshee "its become a click fest of a game who has the fastest clicking skills"

    Uh, have you played ANY RTS games? And no, those with 300 APM don't do much better than those with 80. But if you're the kind of player who constantly boxes all his units and scrolls back to his base to make more units than yes, someone who can click faster will do better than you. SC2 is no more (and is, in fact, LESS) click-intensive than SC1. And what is a "3D no fixes screen"?

  • @WNxFish I started with age of empires and I have played many RTS games starcraft has always been the best and in Starcraft there is a limit to how fast you can go in a click fest as where SC 2 its humanly impossible to have any waiting time unless you want to lose especially if your Protoss. and a 3D no fix screen is full range movment where it is not in a fixed position. yeah is SC2 you can zoom in and out very little by the way. Civilization is a game that has no fix screen look it up.

  • @thedarkbanshee Ok, first of all Protoss is the LEAST micro-intensive of all the races in SC2. They require significantly less clicking than the other two. And second, not having a fixed screen and not being able to zoom out very much is so that older computers can run it without lagging everyone else out in multiplayer. I thank them for this. And don't patronize me by telling me to go look up one of the most popular RTS franchises in the world. I guarantee I've played more hours of RTS than you

  • @WNxFish I did not patronize I'm also making discussion while your arguing a point. SO you like the game I hate it. You have your reasons I have mine you think I'm wrong well your intilted to your opinion guess what So I'm I. In anycase I don't do arguments. Go get pissed at someone else. Not my fault you get butt hurt so easily

  • cant wait to buy this game full and buy a new comp:D....

  • hmm so this became the void ray

  • tempest looks likes something from Halo when it gets shot >.>

  • Dude in the original game it only took2 high templar to make an archon, or 2 dark templay to make a dark archon

  • funny how none of these "new units" are not used in the beta

  • hahahahaha 3 templars :D:D:D:D i think this guy is either missinformed or just isn't employed by the REAL blizzard xP how can someone from blizz fail at that XD

  • 3 high templar nice.. is this guy designing SC2? LOL

  • @Lonebyrd no, he is the prroducer of it LOL! much worse!

  • Looks like SC2 will be much more complex, not just for units but also for terrain. I like better graphics, but when you sacrifice gameplay it doesn't always work out for the best. I think SC1 worked so well because it was simple.

  • no dak acchron!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yes glad they scrapped that, it's one of the useless SC unit.

  • @Vanles25-

    Dark Archon is useless? Watch these videoes,

    "Pimpest Plays 2005 - Reach's Lockdown: Reach vs Chojja",

    "Starcraft - Pimpest Plays 2006 - 03 - Grand Theft Carrier"

    and think again.

    Your expertise in starcraft IS questionable.

  • WHAT ? 3 templars ??!! did that guy ever played that game ?

  • @slh86 sigh

  • @slh86 doesn't need to, he's just the producer duh!

  • @sireggs yeah, but what's the point talking about something you don't know ?

  • Thanks god they nerfd the carrier

  • Is this guy frickin stoned? Where did that 3 high templar shit come from? And the damn twilight archon was always meant to be 1 dark templar and 1 high templar.

  • well he looks like a stoner :D

  • Why? You're just making an assertion that's it. An assertion is not an arguement.

  • No Dark Archon? My God SC2 is gonna suck if they don't put the DA in there.

  • the twilight archon is supposed to be a combo of normal archon and dark archon

  • It better atleast have the posess ability.

  • considering you can merge 2 high temp, 2 dark temp OR 1 high temp and 1 dark temp to make it

  • what the fuck 3 high templars is this guy on drugs or something those he even work at blizzard. in sc you only needed 2 templars. my god......

  • lol when i say the picture in the video i immediately thought he was some kind of stoner guy. and there you go already two other guys confirming the same :D

    im cracked up here

  • lol he is talking nonsense that 3 templers were needed to create and archon and now in sc2 you only need 2 lol ? !

  • Why was dark archon taken out? It was KEY as a protoss player. MIND CONTROL helps so much :D

  • And for all people who's flaming this guy about 3 templars. He is right it was needed 3 templars before patch in 2000. But on another side i agree his comment was dumb, since that been changed with patch like 9 years ago. So why recall such an old shit?

  • starcraft 1 was very unbalanced. cuz the zert comp would attack you a little to early and marines in starcraft1 are basicly use less unless you upgrade to the u-238 shells then they are good

  • You don't know what you are saying. I played SC for 8 years. Best and most balanced game that ever been made. Its been 11 years..and game is still popular and every time they do world championships on it.

  • The worst you can do is use archons with terran. They only have 30 HP and like 200(aproximately) of shield. A EMP shockwave will make them easy prey!!

  • really!!!! Sc was shit long ago!! God Bless Patches

  • What are the people's idea of a World of Starcraft?

  • it would be a foolish idea as long as wow still are king of the hill. they will outflank themself, since the popularety will split. decides they need to hide theyr cards for until wow is oute of buissines. and thats a long time from now

  • crish is right

  • guys that with "3 archons" is not a fail..if you buyed your starcraft in '97 or 98' ...before 2000 and before patches ...yes it's right,an archon at that time required 3 high templars..d`oh

  • It was 2 you idiot.

  • this guy talks like he never playa sc 1 he says that in sc1 to creat an archon you needed 3 templars thats bullshit u only needed 2!!!!

  • It seems like they are trying to nerf units like carriers and nukes in order to make them a more viable option in match play. I hate the fact that they are making SC2 look so cartoony with the names and animations. I would prefer a more real-listic feel like in SC1

    Wtf, this guy talks like he never played SC1 in his life. He was probably a Warcraft bitch.

    Starcraft > warcraft

  • actually he is one of the head developers of sc1 and sc2 so dont speak till u know ur facts

  • The Phase Cannon is a stupid idea. Thank god the dumped it.

  • they* ;)

  • Lol.. yeah xD

  • As I see from this hes friends joked from him or he never played SC.But Then ppl see this vid. they start being dumb...

  • 2:16 I think hes just looking at 1 point and doesn't get what hes saying.....

  • bleeh i hate starcraft 1 geeks so much. its so annoying. i play all kinds of games but when i play sc 1 and do pretty well, some noob will always cry becouse we lost, i mean seriously lol the personality behaviour of a geek is unbarable. like 30guys mentioned he talked about 3 templars, like its a hard fact to figure out it only takes 2, give yourself a cookie or something becouse your ovbiously flossing over the fact u can thriumps over someone else. your acting like fucking monkeys lol.

  • 2 templars to make an archon

  • LOL WHAT WAS THAT AT 2:12 ? it took 3 high templar to make 1 archon in original starcraft? uhm... sorry, that statement is full of fail!

  • yea last time i checked it was 2?

  • i know he did fail much when he said that

  • @MartyHoreth No. he's right.

    High Templar are so AWESOME they count as 150% of a templar. Thus, 2 High Templar are 300% :D

  • @MartyHoreth it was like that during the alpha of vanilla starcraft

  • he doesnt know starcraft

  • this is old crap

    half of these units dont even exist anymore

  • sratch that

    NONE of these are in the game anymore

  • is this comming for console?

  • are you serious?

  • dont flame the mentally impaired

  • haha! no remember i wrote this!

  • Ugh, he just described command and conquer 3... LAME!

    They had a good mix, why change key ingredients. Leveling up is a terrible idea. Research ftw. All they need to do is take sc1 and polish the shit out of it.

  • It required 2 HT to make Archon - noob ROFL LOL

  • who has a twilight archon is a player not to deal with.

  • Has this guy ever played SC 1???...

  • Here`s another idea on how to 'level up'. BUILD YOUR TECH TREE AND RESEARCH!

    It worked in the first game just fine. It`ll do the same in SC2.

  • Yeah. Really. Ugh.

  • Why can't you just name the unit an Archon instead of long droned out Twilight Archon?

    Its not an entirely new unit, just a replica of Archon in SC in 3D. So why not just stick with Archon?

  • The new unit names are lame in general... i mean, the protoss from SC1 would never have a unit called the tempest or the soul hunter.

  • This game uses a rock paper scissors game mechanic, zealots<tanks<immortals<reaper­s<stalkers<lings<big leg things< those big green ball things< and only protoss gets the big badass unit

    the first one is infinately better because it's perfect and is a classic

    like those pretty colors dumbass? how bout the sucky game play? oh wait... i guess only fps matter to you

    you dont have to be a developer to know that the first one is way better

    noob

  • wow, your colored text is really amazing, dumbass

  • i thought we were talking about the game. why dont you stop insulting me personally and start defending yourself, at least i dont get -4 on my comment like a faggot, star1 is better and it doesnt take a developer to know that

  • ??? WTF in the original it took 3 templars O_O wth is this guy talking about lol

  • ik right?!?!!??

  • Yeah, i noticed that also.

  • yeah what the hell is he talking about?

  • this is who we blame when starcraft 2 bombs

  • lol.. get your gauss rifles ready just in case XD

  • holy shit does this dude even know what hes talking about?

    it took 2 high temps to make archon on original.

    if they really removed DA that would suck total ass

  • Yeah it's weird that a key developer has no idea what he's talking about...

  • Key Developer my ass, this fool was in the stocking room getting high! Three HT to make a archon my ass ;D

  • Man, I liked the old archons. This one doesn't seem to have splash.

  • it does no worries, but to a lesser extent it looks like :(

  • 1 thing protoss zealots can charge to enemys

  • and frank they trying to sort ofrelate ot to wc3 idiot -_-

  • This guy should be fired....

  • amen

  • An archon took 2 templars in the original game, DUMBASS!

  • LOL THAT GUY IS SAD

  • i think hes the same guy behind LoTR strategy games for EA...Blizzard enlisted him for SC2... yep, hes gonna ruin Starcraft.

  • ND WTF

    3 TEMPLARS AHAHAHAH this FAGGOT it TOOK 2 templars to mak an arcon

    HOPE U GET FIRED U FUCKING DOOCHEBAG

    stupid

    fuckign warcraft 3 poIsoning al games wIth its TERRIBLE GAMEPALY

  • they shouldnt have taken out the dark archons

  • im pretty sure they didnt

  • actually in another trailer i saw it mentioned they took out dark archons but i really hope ur right and im wrong on this

  • it took only 2 geek who the fuk is this guy

  • 3 templars ?

    i forgot haha

  • lmao DUMBASS ITS 2 tempelars

  • what a retard he he wtf it took only 2 right

  • on starcraft 1 i was called PHOTON boy because i make lots of photon cannons to have greater defense,and no one ever survived my defensive startegy but i think its so ridiculous,and now i knew that pahse cannons can be transferred to other place wow i will make my def.very difficult to destroy by using that phase cannon

  • Phase cannons are going to be awesome ^^

  • Soul Hunter was removed as a new unit for the Protoss.

  • damn, no dark archon.

  • you right cant be

  • omg walking cannons. lol. xD

  • lol it's only 2 high templars...

  • This guy obviously did not help in the creation of the original starcraft, and has not played the original much

  • he messed up 3 high temps??

    thats wrong -_-

  • i hope they make Fastest possible maps rather than bgh all the time

  • I think they hated the carrier... =(

    The new zlot looks awsome..and the probe, minerals patches, nexus... well.. everything looks great..

  • This guy's a noob

  • yeah and nice studdering..

  • is this guy a retard it takes 2 high temp in brood war to make 1 archon and really works for blizzard wow

  • Just goes to show the original dev team for sc1 is gone and is replaced by the WC crew. Don't even know their own games.

  • he said 3 high templars for archon in original??? wtf?

  • wtf is this guy talking about?? soul hunters were removed... so were tempests... and 3 high templars for archon??? ftw..

  • So the game is coming out in August?

  • no i think it means the bizzcon is gonna be on at August

  • Phase cannon=great

    Tempest got replaced by the good ol' carrier.

  • protoss sound weaker....kinda suks

  • WTF NO CARIERS

  • y remove dark archon!!

  • WTF???

    DUDE!!!

    it didnt take 3 templars to make a fuckin archon!!!

    this game creator is a noob!!!

    how could he possibley say that???

    wtf?

  • You took the words right out of my mouth. Well, More of fingers

  • lol your a good man...

  • wtf 3 high templar dont make archon......... only 2

  • although i like the Phase Cannon

  • why must they remove units? why not put everything together and then BAM BAM BAM muahahahaahahaaaaaaa

  • There would be too much overlap, too many units. Many of the units that have been axed have been replaced. dragoon is replaced by immortals/stalkers, goliath with Vikings, scout/corsair with phoenix, reaver with colossus etc...

  • ugh, i love the dragoon, i wanted to see it in 3D. and the carriers! y do they have to remove it if they make the replacement unit weaker? this game will be altered SOOO much, itll be like a different game. like starcraft to warcraft. iono

  • carrier actually made it back and soul hunter is not in anymore. the immortal is a dragoon in 3D with a turret mounted on it, it is an altered dragoon from the actual starcraft story lore. starcraft is about bigger armies than warcraft 3.

  • well that sucks the protoss needed the soul hunters... and it's because people didn't like that way it looked -.-

  • Look at 2:25 THERE IS A REAVER IN THE MIDDLE :P

  • LoL 3 high templar!!! n00b!!! hahah,n he´s lead producer...

  • i've read that the soulhunter got axed. there is a good reason for it, basically that protoss has enough anti infantry units like revear/colussus/templar/archon­. another possible reason is the bitching by a LOT of people who are worried about it turning into a warcraft 3 like exp thingy despite the fact that blizzard has said they are not going that route countless times.

  • Hmm... I'm not liking the sound of leveling up units. Oh well, I'll still buy it

  • well i don't think there will be many units that have this leveling mechanic, in fact for the protoss there is only one. it isn't so far off from buying upgrades in terms of the idea of leveling up. also it is NOT warcraft 3 like (just kills, simple, not exp). it has a cap, so basically in terms of the soul hunter, opponents will be punished for not changing there strategy if they choose to stay with infantry.

  • Well I hope you're right :)

    The Warcraft 3 exp system bothered me, mainly because I liked the old Starcraft system

  • starcraft 2 multiplayer will very much be like starcraft 1 with 4 essential differences. Of course better graphics is a given :)

    1) there will be more incentive to go aerial, there will be air units that take less damage from ground units than air as well as ground units that take more damage from air than ground, we have seen this with the tempest and the colossus respectively.

  • 2) more branching and options in the tech tree for low tiers or early game. For example the twilight council replaces cybernetic core and will allow stalkers/immortals/soulhunters simultaneously. Soulhunters will be an anti infantry, immortals are anti siege and stalkers are harassers/scouts/. Thus you will have a lot of choices to make early game, the choice you make will be different base on map and opponent.

  • 3) controls, they haven't made many specific comments on the improvements of the interface other than no unit cap in terms of selection (no longer 12). I predict all the improvements of warcraft 3, such as subgrouping or selecting 2 templar, casting psi storm but only one of the 2 casts etc. they are also working with the pro gamers on how they can offer more control.

  • 4) more emphasis on the asymmetrical nature of the races while maintaining balance. To address the protoss overpowered complaint, they have mentioned that balance is a blizzard priority as it has always been. Internal alpha, a closed (but public... kind of) beta, 20 patches and maybe even an expansion, all to ensure balance. They plan on having the input of pro gamers from south korea also.

  • protoss teleporting units teleporting cannons.. the battle cruisers and terran units are somewhat losing their edge.. marines are getting slaughtered lol...

  • the reason it appears that the protoss is so good is that blizzcon is on august first and they want to keep the public in the dark till then. show one race to generate buzz and have two races left to create more buzz at blizzcon or future pr events.

  • also all the races in starcraft 2 are suppose to seem much better than their starcraft 1 counterpart.

  • august third*

  • Woh, another thing I need to bring up. At 2:12, did the lead producer just claim that it required 3 high temps to create a archon? I'm getting tensed up in anger.

  • i've read a post that describes producers in the gaming world as overpaid secretaries. not sure if it is true but that one comment may suggest that he is overpaid :). well his lack of knowledge for starcraft 1 is irrelevant for starcraft 2 info, also it is pretty cool that one can now merge dark templar with regular templar.

  • another mistake he made about archon is that he suggested they only have ground attacks.

  • lawl, didn't notice.

  • Anger. Right. Her
