StarCraft II: New Protoss Units

[Demolij]

Meh, it would've been awesome if they had kept these in the game. Too bad none of them did :'(

[VGMoney]

soul hunters are like stalkers+voidrays

[usernameulpentruyout]

soul hunter tempest they will so be in the game lol --'

[q8Pally]

Cant wait for this expansion to come out!! <3

[les07derEroberer]

@q8Pally hellooo look at the date from the video

[q8Pally]

@les07derEroberer are you fuckin retarded!? Can't you fuckin see the differences between real posts and TROLlolololl!! Posts!?

[les07derEroberer]

@q8Pally if its a trolol post you need to write it like that

[nbaumg]

@q8Pally man i hope your kidding

[q8Pally]

@nbaumg Wut!? Why! Me excited I <3 Sc2 cant wait to use tempest and kite zerglings LIKE A BOSS!! ^_^

[q8Pally]

@q8Pally Soul Hunter ** XD

[nbaumg]

@q8Pally did u forget that i can read your other comments even if they arent replyed to me?

[q8Pally]

@nbaumg TROLL FAIL!! xD

[Wolfovicz]

Beautiful.

[Gabrielofdeath777]

PROTOSS EVER!

[Known2BUnknown]

And in the end Terran still wins, anyone noticed that in the end of the video?

[skijmac2]

Reapers throw bombs at buildings, and the new tempest model looks NOTHING like a carrier. Phase cannons were scratched, soul hunters are now void rays, and twilight archons were also scratched simply because... well you saw the video.

[JappaCappa]

and the tempest is just a carrier

[JappaCappa]

um this never happend this vid is from 2007



[saphirepear]

those soul hunters look like they are ground version of void ray

AWSOME!

[DaMnUFo0]

lets keep in mind they might add some of the concept here back in the protoss expansion

[62chipo]

2:16 reaver goes boom

[quizzisation]

seriously i want THIS tempest.

[AllTriforces]

awww I wish they get Soul Hunters! They look relly cool!!!

[epicSockett]

@AllTriforces They don't only look cool, they ARE really cool! They get extra Attack Damage with each kill they have! :D

[bRacKoriZor]

cannon rush v2.0... you dont have to build in your opponents base... just ANYWHERE ^^

[KainSlash]

Phase canon rush would be awesome.

[FishTurd69]

well now we know all of that was OP so they tookem out

[jubjub4261]

whats the last background song? star wars? what title? lol. thx in advance!

[LaftusPuch]

Lol it`s not HotS This video was Placed before the WoL)))

[x20mega]

Funny how non of the units were made into the finally sc2

[phyk]

wow the phase cannon would have been balanced...

[CowsLovesCake]

@phyk no less balanced than spine/spore crawlers....

[phyk]

@CowsLovesCake that is a stupid comparison... cannon attacks both air and ground and costs, after all, less resources.

[agostinho1234]

watching this wondering to see soul hunter in HOTS

[Ceefaproductions]

It's cool to see how ideas get scrapped and evolve into what sc2 ended up being

[pwnsaucy]

look at the date 2007 these might have been added guys :P But they were thrown out before the release

[xxminixerxx]

the phase cannons are like creep tumors

[McRaymond100]

Carrier

[doggyboy81]

this isnt sc2



[Derdadortiwo]

@doggyboy81 of course it is

[doggyboy81]

@Derdadortiwo no its not



[bloicraft]

@doggyboy81 this is the very early stages of sc2 look at the date

[AnthonyPhoeng123]

@doggyboy81

This is sc2, but it was still in its alpha version when this video came out

[PeRs0nQ]

@doggyboy81 yourll notice this video was realsed in 2007...thats before sc2 came out, these are the units that were predicted to be in the first game, not heart of the swarm..

[bananian]

Archons suck even in the demo

[mixingof12]

the phase canon can move to a another plave cooooolllll

[birdsong875]

ummm, i saw a reaver in that final battle. :) phase cannon would have made for some ridiculous cheese.

[may4100]

the first uniot was cancelled ...in remplace appears the stalker and the photon cannon doesnt move(this ability pass to the zergs defenses

[epicSockett]

@may4100 The Stalker was in the game already by the time the Soul Hunter got cancelled.

The Soul Hunter would require a Twilight Council and could be warped in. Also, it got stronger with each kill. :)

[wesleykeizer]

fakeeee :P

[ohAlanho]

@wesleykeizer can't tell if trolling or just stupid

[TheBlackKnight07]

Even the reaver!!!

[SlipKNoTHnS]

Lol you have no ideea about sc 2

[ISpeakWithCaps1]

@SlipKNoTHnS read the date u tard. But it is funny that none of thease units made it in to the game

[Arkanj3l]

@ISpeakWithCaps1 I have a feeling that Blizzard still has these units up their sleeve. There were many units in WoL's campaign that couldn't be found in multiplayer; perhaps LotV will let them be used, or HotS will include some of these units as swapouts.

Either way, there's still a chance we might find them in the future.

[ISpeakWithCaps1]

@Arkanj3l a lot of thease units got changed and are in the game. All the units in the campaign that can't be used in multiplayer are from the original game and are only in the campaign cuz of nostalgia. I think HotS will bring totally new units (maybe some of thease)

[Arkanj3l]

@ISpeakWithCaps1 Yeah, pretty much.

[happy14945]

Why didn't they leave the shelds? (of the tempest)

[DaMnUFo0]

@xtribunx well it's fake now, but when the first preview of sc2 came out this was what blizzard intended to do... until some fans cried or raged at them for making protoss too op and zerg less existent (notice how i didnt mention the terran)

[xXxThOmMyEbXxX]

thouse medivacs looks cooler ^^ also the red color haha

[xXxThOmMyEbXxX]

thouse medivacs looks cooler ^^



[gattler]

i wish that photon cannon DID have that ability

[alphaazulon2010]

I saw Reaver! Even it was replaced by the Collosous!

[ch0s3nlife]

thumbs up if u saw reaver

[Mageziya]

Funny thing is, not a single one of the units here made it to the final game.

[sebastiancee]

@Mageziya twilight archon

[hmongboyee]

Mannn If those photon cannons could still move like that T~T

[ferose2]

i honestly like the current sc2 more than this

[stringslayer97]

1:38 protoss were cooler if they had this colour

[Lightningz1]

dat artosis pylon

[OnTheLine35]

i wish they actualy did those things...

[Maratho007]

I want mind control!! WE NEED FOCUS!!!!

[48tank]

Damn I wish I could move my cannons ....but that would be over powered :(

[ReBeLiLiLiLioN]

@48tank why?

zerg can do this

[48tank]

@ReBeLiLiLiLioN yea zerg but not protoss and y ?? well couse of cannon rush ........

[ReBeLiLiLiLioN]

@48tank Yeah but it was too slow i don't thins it would be op but you're right of cannon rush :)

[RSObiWan]

@48tank

not really those cannons seemed to move only in pylon range 

[48tank]

@RSObiWan well yea no shit ..u know wen u r cannon rushing some cannons in the back are just sitting there ??? welll u could just move them up so they can attack as one and it would be imposible to defend that

[mrnoob62]

okay people, no need to get mad at blizzard, they replaced the soul hunter with void rays, i mean the soul hunter and phase cannon would make prottos as op as hell, not to mention they already have a mothership...if you see a bunch of tier 1 infantry with attacks like voids, you would die before you can even pull out something good...

[haloreachblackdragon]

man this game isn't starcraft 2 anymore now it more like starcraft 3 n who agree with me:D

[doggyboy81]

their arent soul hunters in starcraft 2 fucking noob creator

[Wiccanman12]

anyone notice that they were saying sc2 and use sc1 stuff



[rb26dett32]

The only good unit in there isn't even a unit. It's a damn photo cannon. Also, if carriers are shit, why make another unit that is the exact same thing but blue? And it looks like the archon is just an archon with a different animation for splash damage. Please give back mind control...

[bene2092]

@rb26dett32 Are you serious ? this Video is from 2007 BEFORE SC2 released dude ! And the thing with the carrier... READ DISCRIPTION !

[rb26dett32]

@bene2092 I knew I'd get someone to post lol.

[chartedlife]

you could move cannons!!!!???

[Darkfoxx999]

@MarkAFerguson Its like they took a large chunck out of someones midesction and replaced it with a wooden 2X4, wihch in this case is the sentry. With it the protoss are able to fight on even terms with the other races, without it protoss is very very very weak and will not survive till late game where they acually get decent units, and even then the decent unit selection is very limited aside for colossus..... since high templars got nerfed and carriers currently just fucking suck

[MarkAFerguson]

@Darkfoxx999

I actually agree with a lot of the stuff you are saying, but I just don't think anyone can complain about race imbalances that much because Blizzard does such a good job keeping everything balanced. Honestly, people still complain about how OP the Protoss are, while you are saying the opposite. If any race was OP everyone would use it when it came to the MLG or GSL. I mean, look at Black OPs - you can't argue that the FAMAS isn't OP 'cus EVERYONE uses it!

[Darkfoxx999]

@MarkAFerguson The protoss units in the beta did not have to depend on the forcefield crutch that they do now, the protoss army in beta was able to stand up vs mmm or roach hydra without the need of abilities. What your talking about by unrefinment is almost soley the grahpics diffrerence which would have been improved if these units would of gotton into the released game. They didn't fix anything

[Darkfoxx999]

@MarkAFerguson Attached to its "surf board" and again if you even played the beta, which by your ill informed response you obviously didn't these units where much better then the current ones implanted in the game. And llore wise its stupid how 80% of the Khalinian protoss where wiped out on Auir, yet they have more unit types then the Dark Templar. Its not jsut a matter of "liking them" its that blizzard seems to not fucking remnber anything from starcraft 1 in terms of lore. dipshit.....

[MarkAFerguson]

@Darkfoxx999

Whooooa! Sounds like I hit a nerve! :O

But actually, you are right - I didn't play the beta and I'm not that fluent on the lore, so I guess I'm not one to say. I dunno, the game just looked really goofy back in the beta days - unrefined and whatnot, so I'm glad they fixed it. I loved the first game and I guess I'm just glad that the units look basically the same between the two games now - even if most Aiur Protoss were lost. Surely there's no need for insults?

[MrPattyrick00]

@Darkfoxx999 haha you are such a wanker nerd

[Darkfoxx999]

@MrPattyrick00 And who the fuck are you

[hunter1801]

Movable cannons...............i want

[hilelmos]

freaky...



[MarkAFerguson]

Fuck. Thank god they fixed the Protoss before the release date. I would have been embarrased to be a Protoss player with all that junk! :P

[Darkfoxx999]

@MarkAFerguson More like they killed protoss these unit looked and functioned better then the units and structure we have now, they made the carrier(tempest was better) useless, stalkers get out dpsed by fucking workers/ the soul hunter was probably a stalker equvilent or some acually T1 unit that didn't suck/ and it pisses me off lore wise that they took away the twilight archon, THEY SHOULD OF BROUGHT BACK THE DARK ARCHON, it at least would of made sense

[MarkAFerguson]

@Darkfoxx999

Wow.. You and I are on different pages I guess... :P

I don't know how you can like the old units better than the new ones. For one thing, little things like calling a Carrier a Tempest, or an Archon a Twilight Archon really irks me in games. The Soul Hunter is a surf bording Protoss, wtf? 'Nuff said. Also, I find it funny how you say that the Stalker is underpowered, because usually the argument is how overpowered it is! :S

I dunno man... Like 'em if you do, I guess...

[Darkfoxx999]

@MarkAFerguson The tempest was a unit that had intereceptors with melelee attacks, and they had a hardened shield like an immortal vs ground units, its not a carrier. And if you knew anything at all about lore a twilight archon is acually the correct name dipshit. And a stalker has absoulute shit for dps. The Soul hunter wasn't a surf borading protoss dipshit it was a mecahnicl unit, I don't how that can be considered a surf board if the unit is acually attached to it.

[Dugatee]

Photon Cannon

[Kazzeroth]

@Dugatee Nah, phase cannons were the building that were instead of photon cannon in the alpha, pretty much the same execpt Phase cannons could "Change Phase" and become a orb to be able to relocate.

[bananian]

@Kazzeroth

perfect for cheese.

[Kazzeroth]

@bananian Haha, yeah that's probably why they changed them.

[11shadowchaos]

@Dugatee now in spine crawler

[fufflyify]

i hope they would reappear in the hots or lotv

[colebusss]

@Blackwolfe1971 yeah ive only seen one of those units unfortunately. The phase cannon, which can awesomely warp into a sphere and then move to a desired location and resume shape of the cannon. In the cortex roleplay games if you were wondering...

[bobmclightning]

@colebusss Tempest = carrier.

[colebusss]

@legoman 12377 actually that design was for the carrier originally. They wanted to tweak with the abilities and unit itself, but the design was properly fit for the carrier.

[Hektvids]

soulhunter= halo grunt on a hover board?

tempest= carrier with hardened shield

[Hektvids]

soulhunter= halo grunt on a hover board?

[Blackwolfe1971]

They were the failed units of the beta you will most likely see them in custom games

[SXsoft99]

hope they use soul hunter in the naw expo

[kiziltanekin2001]

jnfjpewafölfkdspokaewfkäafkaäe­wk

[davidchoiws]

maybe they gonna be put in next expansion.. there are 2 more expansions to come.. so hold your breath!

[bullfane]

to bad they never made it

[tryosaur]

lol reaver

[JanJanNik]

Soul hunter = stalker

[giomhog13]

Soulhunter = void Ray

[Galactix56]

@madamadadane

Tesmpest is basically carrier. And I think the twilight archon is there too.

[legoman12377]

@Galactix56 but it seems tempest has hardened sheilds

[Galactix56]

@legoman12377 Ah, yeah.



[legoman12377]

@Galactix56 the carrier was originally not gonna be in sc2 the tempest would of been a replacement but instead they stole the design and used it on the carrie

[Bomiheko2]

@legoman12377 you can't really steal something that's yours

[legoman12377]

@Bomiheko2 you know what i mean they used that design for carrier instead of temp

[LTdubstep]

how to get em?

[MrSpecter619]

i have to admit they are cool but they are pretty much re skined versions of old units and with a little bit of dif mechanics other than the soul hunter just a taste of blizz being lazy even though i do think the game is going to be awesome im so playing zerg 0.0

[GuyApollo]

I've seen concept art for the Tempest and twilight archon... But the arcon was batted around for BW

[CerberusT93]

Soul Hunter: got more powerful as it killed biological units, removed since it was too strong against the zerg as a whole.

Phase Cannon: ability moved to the crawlers (likely when the queen shrank and no longer made swarm clutches), model reused to replace the photon cannon's (it still had that telescoping stand instead of a levitating orb).

Tempest: modified carrier, switched due to nostalgia, model re-used

T Archon: any type of templar merges into them, the name wasnt accurate.

[koreangangstakid]

if phgase cannons were in the real game, cannon rushes will be op as fuck

[ike1218CA]

@koreangangstakid not if needed an upgrade :p

[SpikeRosered]

I find it interesting that it appears that the Protoss is going to lose that fight in the end...in a demo...for the protoss...

[FinTheDew]

Ty god they update the game on regular basis

[Klatjofsky]

Who would want the Soul Hunter anyway? It looks like the Silver Surfer except the skateboard farts out some green gas.

[Sternerd]

I would have loved to have phase cannons in the game.

[Toporionn]

La intencion era buena. Las expectativas fueron mas altas.

[greyknightify]

is soul hunter even real?

[oPsnexUseR]

anyone notice the reaver in the background of 2:04

[RPBiohazard]

-soul hunters were basically ground void rays, no wonder they weren't continued

-phase cannons were pretty imba if you consider the fact that they can attack both ground and air, and move anywhere in power field, kind of op if you ask me

- Tempests were just plain stupid

- twilight archons are pretty much just archons

so don't bitchabout how none of these made it to final release

[TheRed347]

@RPBiohazard

it will be better if they put em in campaign or editor tho

[RPBiohazard]

@TheRed347 soul hunters in the editor would be cool, and you could probably make phase cannons or tempests pretty easy in the editor. But yeah soul hunters are sick

[MrLegoNinja1]

@RPBiohazard i thought they had daimondback weapons or back then u call them cobras

[RPBiohazard]

@MrLegoNinja1 No, their attack powered up while attacking, like void rays, and I think some of it was converted into health or something

[48tank]

I want does Fucking reavers!!!!!!!!

[bombadola12345]

me wants the twilight archon :D

[xxrantaxx]

tempest = immortal + carrier ._. hardened shields + flying binoculars

[RPBiohazard]

@xxrantaxx it wasnt hardened shields, it was shields that only activated for ground to air attacks, and they could only attack ground.

[MrShitcraft]

sigh... twilight archon would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo sick

[alfok]

2:07 RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU RIVU

[Cheeched757]

@alfok What? 8 fucking idots thumbed you up?

[alfok]

@Cheeched757 and you too

[Nitoryuu]

2:07 a Reaver?!(middle top, walking past the explosion) i want them back so badly T^T

[CerberusT93]

@Nitoryuu if they were still around today those Marine/Marauder balls people use all the time would be decimated T^T

[Nitoryuu]

@CerberusT93 banelings alrdy rape bioballs lol, dts chop marines to bits, don't even talk about collosus lolz :P in my opinion reavers are more balanced in terms of vs bioballs since theyre slow as sin and cost minerals to attack, theyre little scarabs somtimes glitch out and get stuck and if you're that pro you culd possible micro around them and close in for the kill lol.

[CerberusT93]

@Nitoryuu banelings are usually shredded before they even reach the bioballs, DTs are pretty much useless once a single raven flies over. as for colossi... ive seen mass marines (without marauders) rip apart colossi and stalkers like they're nothing (the marines were maxed out in upgrades, it was fun to watch XDD). most of the time though colossi are pulverized by reactored vikings. besides the pathing AI in SC2 is much better than SC1's so scarabs function better, and marines huddle tighter. :3

[Nitoryuu]

@CerberusT93 Hmm, what you say is true but to be fair SC in general is a really big "if" game if you get what i mean. Sure banes will get shreaded, but wut if they were hidding under fog or burrowed or w.e. DT is pretty much the same situation, what if the raven cant get there in time and orbitals have just been used for mules. Collosus are usually huddled with a bunch of stuff but they're meh so I'll give it to you :P I still prefer my cute little reavers thou, also scarab explosions sound cool

[GuyApollo]

@CerberusT93 Really, because All i've ever seen, if a toss player hits you with Colossi, if you don't have viks your fucked. Marines? really? How many heal busses were there?

[CerberusT93]

@GuyApollo to be honest, i'm not sure if there was any, but like i said the marines were maxed out in upgrades and there was quite a lot of them. i'l try to see if i can find the game on here again, if i do il tell you what it is called so you can see it too.

but as for without vikings, il admit they're a key part in ripping up colossi but since both medivacs and vikings are built from reactors, its very unlikely that a bioball wont have both units.

[xShardxx]

Phase Cannon = Photon Cannon

[Sinxp13]

@xShardxx except you can reposition it..... how useful to see it in an actual game

[Darkfoxx999]

OK a lot of you don't know what your talking about with the phase cannon, first it has to be under pylon power to turn into phase mode and to turn back into a cannon and phase cannons are not the same a photon cannons, the tempest used melee style interceptors called shurikens and had a harden sheild from ground attacks, whick the carrier has NONE of those so they aren't the same unit, Don't try to cover up the fact that blizzard cut MANY of the new protoss units

[Wckyful]

dude can you message me how to make those first units etc thx

[bleachboi2]

lol this could be coming out in the next expan for sc2

[ZomgitsaznZ]

OMG theres a reaver! NUUUU BRING BACK THE REAVER!!!!

[predat8472]

@ZomgitsaznZ ...seasons don't fear the Reaver...

[SolidSoul40373]

@ZomgitsaznZ FUCK THAT THEN THEYD B 2 GOOD

[TheChaos1650]

0:55 a new way to cannon rush :)

just run your cannons across the map!

[joselifecloud]

how some of these characters arent in starcraft wings of liberty

[Darkfoxx999]

@joselifecloud all of them aren't in WoL they all got cut because Blizzard hate protoss, the only possible way for them to come back is in Legacy of the Void or Heart of the Swarm but with the rate blizzard is making HoTS Legacy of the Void might be done by 2014

[LeetchToss]

god i want the soul hunter..

[RhetusArcius]

so the tempest suppose to be the dark templar's equivalent of carrier and twilight archons are morphed from a high templar and a dark templar, right?

[sixwingproductions]

they nixed the dar archorons and gave you plane ones i whanted to combine dark and light templars in sc2

[killsthenoob]

who agrees that cortex should have these models thumbs up if u do

[imstoned6]

those phase cannons would have been nice.

[xXTheThinkTankXx]

@imstoned6 yea, moving cannons woulda been not OP at all.. lulz

[imstoned6]

@xXTheThinkTankXx didn't say they wouldnt be op, just said they would have been nice, lulz.

[Fotze38]

they'll maybe get into the game with the expansion "the heart of the swarm" , planned for april 2012.

[goldsmith000]

I can't help thinking of the Silver Surfer when I see a Soul Hunter...
