All New SC2 Units! BlizzCon Gameplay - Heart of the Swarm

[fearthedark10]

The Warhound just lookes like sheets of paper of you ask me....-.-

[dbsouza1]

SC2 meets Red Alert 3 with all these transforming units.....

[unclenastyfingers87]

Zerg gets jack shit and Terran gets more mech and shredders? Cuz busting down a terran wall while getting pummeled by seige tanks wasn't hard enough

[merbulj123]

NOOOO! MY MECH ARMY STRATEGY IS GOONA FALL WITHOUT THORS! R.I.P Mass thors

[Blue2Volf]

rip starcraft

[IndustrialFaustXVII]

So now zerg is even more crap against air...

[WorldOfTheLeaf]

@IndustrialFaustXVII hydras rip air apart and corruptors and strong. Mutas have always been good. what's your point...?

[JoJoLexy]

protoss is op -.-

[DarKGamingRMMC]

so zerg get the ground version of a unit we already have.. the brood lord, and a flying defiler.... cheers.. thank god banes and ultra get upgraded.... -.-

[HurinsChannel]

NOOOOOOOOO!!! dont take away the carriers.......

[GoombaDaddy]

if terrans are getting shredders, can they please remove PFs??? yay for hellions that transform into firebats :D i dig the zerg units. hate the carrier disappearing although the tempest is pretty sweet-looking. give phoenix AoE upgrade instead. HATE the replicant, what the hell is that crap? the most advanced technology in the galaxy works by COPYING the lesser technology of other races?! those new ultras terrify me.  yay dark swarm! that with banelings will require some serious nerfing...

[benyhung92]

I like Thor, they look better than these warhound

Tempest replace carrier? Isn't carrier some kind of a legend? Trying to replace a legend by shit?

Blizzard getting more crazy day by day

[Pokemon5thgeneration]

nice remove anti ground unit and add another anti air unit , really? why do toss need 2 anti air units..

[TheNoizeController]

@Pokemon5thgeneration Tempset shoots at ground too...

[TheNoizeController]

@TheNoizeController tempest*

[thor0908]

Hahaha baneling moving while burrow sure terran die

[valenesco45]

I LOVE PROTOSS <3

[DeathMiracle]

looking at those swarmhosts make me fucking sick. why blizz why

[DardyGamer]

holy fuck tempest is going to be so fucking imba

[GoombaDaddy]

@DardyGamer they'll tone it down don't worry

[chruiz42]

the thor should have been just one in the 1st placed

[GTO19020]

blizz didnt think terran was OP enough....so they did this. fuckers.

[TciBrada]

War hound: I used to be a Thor like you... then I took a nuke in the knee! :)

[DragoonBoom]

@TciBrada Faggot.

[gunha9]

@iVaPouRZz you do not need to pay ANY subscription or monthly fee for Starcraft 1 and 2.

[MrUntti]

want to see tvz after heart of the swarm

[MrUntti]

and this is why terran is op...

[Rurike]

@MrUntti why is that?

[iVaPouRZz]

Can anyone help me? Basically I recently bought SC... Do I have to pay for anything like membership or whatever? Please someone reply, thanks, VaPouRZz

[lukie636]

@iVaPouRZz no it free besides buying the game+expansions

[Ericnorify]

OMG! Why does protoss get all the cheap ass bull shit units?

[DanteBoy721]

@Ericnorify because they are already OP. I dont see y they even made more protoss units its making the game even more imbalanced

[JalstonFilms]

@Ericnorify umad?

[Ericnorify]

@JalstonFilms uhomo?

[JalstonFilms]

@Ericnorify lol, geuss that answers my question.

[Ericnorify]

@JalstonFilms lol, i guess you too anwsered my question.

[JalstonFilms]

@Ericnorify lol

[Ericnorify]

@JalstonFilms lol

[beybladekid41]

is there a new game to get this units

[Ericnorify]

@beybladekid41 It's an expansion. ( Hearth of the swarm )

[sweatysniper]

FEAR THE TERRAN WALLOFF

[ivo6267]

they said that in Korea, before u marry with a girl, u must beat her father in starcraft first .

lol =)

[Retgery]

Those shredders shouldn't turn off on their own

[SuperSpinko27]

@Retgery my guess is that there will be an option that controls whether or not shredders will shut down automatically

[DanteBoy721]

@SuperSpinko27 when the shredder's allies get near it shuts down

[Majora4Prez]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[MrFreakingCow]

shreder=chuck norris tv that+bunkers to block or supply dep = imba

[MrRucknroll]

tempest looks awsome

[LolWhosNext]

does any1 know when HoTs comes out?

[mysticjbyrd]

Those battle hellions look weak as hell. 

4 tanks and 8 battle hellions barely won that fight against what, 8 zealots and 3 archons.

[Sagramorbald]

@mysticjbyrd The Archons raped them. They are not small or mid (so they take less damage) and also do splash damage. While fighting Zealots they did very well.

[Mag4live]

Can I just have the goliath and the cloaked wraith back?

[mignun93]

Protoss has a unit that can be any non massive unit and u say they need ground units?

[yummy2000]

I would have to say that they seem to be over-powering many units. We will see how this turns out, balanced? maybe. I personally think the game is still fine and is not ruined. Even if these additions and changes turn out really bad then they will always adjust until it is just right. The blizzard team are awesome that way

[Thundermoney1]

im gonna turn that protoss unit into a scv and build terran unit and zerg unit xD

[MasofkeNIKE]

this game is going to b shit !

[Invisiblefiyah]

looks like blizzard is making the same mistake as they did in WoW

wotlk, they gave everyone so much aoe it pretty much came down to an aoe fest and eliminated micro.

[MarioBrosClassic]

@Invisiblefiyah bah this games ruined!!!!

[DarkNight3603]

Counter to Swarm Host...Air? If Viper can attack then yeah Viper/Swarm Host is a little OP and im a zerg player. Still they look bad ass. But hey Terran and Protoss units seem OP as well.

[Ihave1Muse]

I'm pretty sure that Zerg players will utilize the combo of the Viper + Infestor. Think about it, pulling out the strong units with the Viper and than controlling them with the Infestor. Not to mention how they can also use that posionous cloud with fungal growth, killing off small units like the Marines.

[stephen0258]

I've relized that the shredder could decimate a good 4 gate. OP all the way

[Chalomagno00]

zerg OP

[ortalbem]

shredder seems op

[HDpLace]

Swarm host is to op lol, u have liek 8 of them and have a bunch of bane ling nothing terran can do ;/

[BattlePopeV2]

Im gonna say it now. Swarm host + viper = op

[sgtsharpshooter]

Why remove Carrier? 

[adeb0017]

if theres tempests now... whats the point of having phoenixes?

[chruiz42]

@adeb0017 yeah...REMOVE THE PHEONIX OTHER THAN THE CARRIER

[heylookitsandrew]

Toss are really weak now, and they still lack a decent anti air/ground unit...

[exprast]

I like it how one of the protoss new units is a way to steal other race's units, it's like Blizz finally snapped from all of the bleating about them being an underpowered race and went: "Fine! Have all the units then, in the entire damn game!"

[FregpZ]

Thumbs up if u will miss : THOR IS HERE!!!!!!!!

[xNWOxAftermath]

@FregpZ They arnt takin the thor out, there just making so its like a mothership. Only one on the map and its a super mech unit, so youll still hear, Thor is here... but only once at a time.

[jimmyz512]

@yolkjj

The thor has been moved up, in hots you can only make 1 thor at a time, you need a fusion core, and it has 800 health and can siege just like a siege tank. (no more antiair)

[RedGrobo]

Terran is only op vs newbs.

[torrasque2007]

@RedGrobo and toss .... and zerg.

[yolkjj]

they're replacing thors? =(

[T810G]

terran still op

[L4zyC4tz]

It seems like toss got the weaker units, or units that are probably not going to e used by lower lvl players. I feel as if Terran and Zerg are going to e stronger then toss, but blizz will find some way to balance it...

[Maxwilso]

Finally something to stop mass zerglings

[UJhySoPro]

Tempest looks a bit op... The damage area is ridiculous and pretty much will destroy every air...

[Starcraft2Cheese2]

so basically terran and protoss get more op and zerg takes it up the ass

[recmgt1]

@Starcraft2Cheese2 Just wait untill Idra hears about this!

[Dihyyy]

@Starcraft2Cheese2

@Starcraft2Cheese2

Are you serious? Carrier and mothership got removed & replaced with tempest and ORACLE.

Protoss has only ONE addiontal unit - Replicant.

Zerg?! ZERG HAS 2 new units!

EVERY race got 2 new units, protoss, terran ( battle hellion is an upgrade to existent unit) and zerg! expect protoss, expect PROTOSS, because every race has 1 more unit atm. + Terran's thor. Zerg has also 2 upgrades.

Do a simple math you idiots. Honestly?

[Zepplin2340956]

@Starcraft2Cheese2 There is allot more buffs to the zerg vs Protoss and terran....

[WilltheGamer]

finally a good zerg caster unit

[Legacyyyyyyy]

Lol it seems to me they powered Zerg and Protoss a lot loool that's awsome

[wtfhackszwtf]

@toddleronaleach they remind me of wraiths but for ground

[killerfrenzy11]

they should make it so we can have infinate troops thumbs up if u agree =))

[murdercom998]

9 more years it looks good

[maximdekov]

Music of the way /watch?v=EI8ns_aBtzM

[Alxphat]

warhound gonna rape stalkers... not happy :/ and i feel like zerg gonna have to deal with hellions every game now

[ReachGameplay]

Those shredders seemed op at first

But compared to the Zerg host, it doesn't seem like much

Hopefully the army the host makes will count as supply as well

[l1s1d4]

...no more mommaships, no carriers, FU blizzard

[VQgel]

zerg and protoss overpowerd!

[zat256away]

I'm excited for the new units. Just a bit sad for the obvious fall down that will happen to some old school staple units. T&P will both laugh at Muta now, alot of anti - tank options, zealot will be decimated even with charge.

[bubba18sar]

If I was zerg.. why would I make anything other than Ultralolsks?

[SirKanti1]

I think these units will make the game even more dynamic, seems that a lot of the units and ablilties are focused on breaking defensive lines of an army.

[mrcusanelli]

For all those stating that the new P units are going to be OP.

Go to The MLG site (youtube doesnt allow posting links) do a search for White-Ra (one of the best P players ever, and known for not bitchin like those other fagtrash players i.e. Idra)

Read it and stfu. P got fucked again.

[AngelLuna03]

noo thors? why!?

[rendros88]

@AngelLuna03 There are Thors!! You can just build one Thor at a time.

[AngelLuna03]

@rendros88 you mean like the mothership?

[rendros88]

@AngelLuna03 Yes, but the Mothership is removed from Heart of the Swarm. The Thor is kind of like the new Mothership.

[LiBaBamba]

omfg the ultra will be SOOOOOOO op

[rendros88]

@LiBaBamba yeah. Right. Less QQ more pewpew.

[shootingmen]

fk it warhound is gona be OP

[GoldinumXRu]

This must be a fucking april joke wtf u serious blizzard?

[CelloMachachillo]

Why couldn't they just tweak the Carrier and Mothership instead?!

These unit cuts are ruining the SC story...

[cloudjin893]

again i ask more zerg tears??

[MikeMiller86]

awesome video. thanks!

[hijaccck]

They should just turn the Void Ray beam a splash damage beam similar to the Hellion flamethrower.

[TheBennyisCool]

@hijaccck ok the void ray is already the most OP unit with the only thing kinda balancing it (not really) being production time. so now u want them to be even more OP!!!??? NO! fuck that.

[hijaccck]

@TheBennyisCool It's just vs air. If they want to put a Air-to-Air splash damage for protoss, just turn the VR beam splash damage vs air and reduce de amount of damage, maybe, idk.

[hijaccck]

@TheBennyisCool It would be less OP than the attack of the Tempest, it would require a little micro to get more efficiency, at least.

[mrcusanelli]

@TheBennyisCool except VR's aren't even really used anymore (from what i've seen since i've gotten into GM's) and barely used in PvT, because.. surprise surprise.. RINES

[thtguy21]

dude these temptest units are way better than carriers!

[niksosf]

whatever the hell that thor replacment-like unit does, it looks like a toy gun's projectiles are being shot out of it. This is absolutely non-game play significant, but please make it look just , like a tiny tiny bit cooler

[VeLiN8ZerG]

excellent changes in my oppinion , very creative blizzard maybe i start playing again = o

[redbaron354]

Awesome Job Blizzard! I'm so excited all new units look great. The metagame is in for huge changes which is gonna so good for sc2. To those naysayers Blizzard could give terran free bunkers with instant build times and they would still complain same for other races etc lol.

[Blomsternisse]

Can someone please explain the following:

A. Why is eveyone bitching about the carriers being removed? It was a unit never used in pro-gaming anyway

B. What the hell is the point of the war hound? why not just tweak the thor?

[GuitarMasterGraeme]

@Blomsternisse It was a unit never used, period. lol

[imaginyou4]

i think Sc@ is going to change radically

[TheSupercgeek]

Tempest was the original name for the carrier. I think the shredder is the coolest new unit!

[BeelzebubTerror]

They should allow replicator to revert back with a cool down of course.

[999alexius]

love how you put SC1 music in the background

[VitorCrispim1994]

i already watched this 4 or 5 times, so looking forward to get heart of the swarm

[davidovmejl]

Funny how so many are disgusted by the Carrier removal, like if they were such good players they would realize that carriers were the least used Protoss unit. Damn silver league wannabe critics!

[TheBulldog077]

@davidovmejl Well sayd ! i am glad that there is someone who know what the fuck he is talking about !! :)

[OzzV54]

this is friggin awsome!!!



[roslolian11]

the problem here is why take out carriers? Much easier to keep them in the game and beef them up rather than take them out of the game, Carriers are the Battlecruiser of the Toss.

Even though I'm a toss player, I think the new toss units are really OP. A new unit that can disrupt mining? LOLOLOL! And a unit that can transform into siege tanks?! LOL FG+Zealots=win. And the tempest looks like it'll rule the skies, destroys all air units+some land attack too.

[WisLaRapJo]

@roslolian11 whats FG?

[ianman6]

@roslolian11 We'll have to reserve judgement until after the game is released. The tempest may turn out to have massive AoE at the expense of damage against non-light units. It's also likely to be quite expensive.

[TheSolero95]

Lol, T and P are more OP then before

[WisLaRapJo]

@TheSolero95 and what about zerg?? do u think they dont get anything? F.e. the viper, how fucking op is that shit?

[TheBulldog077]

@TheSolero95 No ! you just suck Zerg ;)

[rockingandrew]

0:55 LOL Will replace Thors? soo Thor get removed from new patch ? hehe

[TheBulldog077]

@rockingandrew You have not hear anything do you ? The thor stays deal with it ;)

[WhyYeeNubbingAround]

@mrcusanelli Did you even go to fucking Blizzcon? Just shut the fuck up, you haven't even tried these units, I will tell you this. Protoss FUCKING IMBA.

[mrcusanelli]

@WhyYeeNubbingAround

When the PRO level players state that the new units are awful and way to expensive, then there is a problem. Of course a T player like yourself see this as no problem, as your victories are handed to you with your rines. UMAD Bronzefag? and no, T is mega OP when a cheap T1 units ( rines and rauders) hard counters ALL P units and out play most higher tier units across the other two races.

[WhyYeeNubbingAround]

@mrcusanelli Source, please.

[mrcusanelli]

@WhyYeeNubbingAround

Its on the MLG site. do a search for white-ra

[kamikrazi123]

Wow fuck B hellions. Sure they might need more use end game VS PROTOSS. Z's are fucked.

[mpbarry46]

@mrcusanelli but the oracle looks so good!

[Targus2142]

haters gonna hate

[00habu]

is it my imagination or .... again the zerg are being under estimated just like sc2 wings of liberty from all the new units the zerg seem to be the weakest and the least interesting,,,,, man i hate this i loe zerg

[StrikingShadow1]

@00habu No. Zerg players just like to bitch about stuff and feel they are hard done by, when if you look at the statistics over top tier play, they really arnt. Its been like this since broodwar. "Zergs: bitch bitch bitch we're so underpowered/forgottten." Terrans will always be OP/easy it seems.Protoss are pretty much the trually fucked race. They really dont win much of anything at the top Tiers (particularly in Korea), and were effectively dead in broodwar for years until Bisu came along.

[WormWallace]

@StrikingShadow1 LiquidHuk made crushing performances with Protoss. However I think people say protoss broken, terran op and zerg underdog because it is simply harder to play an efficient Zerg at low levels, and way easier to play winning tactics with toss on low divisions. If you put a 3autoinject larva3 function on Zergs Queens, you'll see everybody saying that Zerg is broken, while the mechanics didn't change...

[StrikingShadow1]

@WormWallace HuK is the only real descently performing Toss out there. True, he does fairly well, but hes never come close to winning or even doing that well in Code S (the top level). Hes won tournaments here and there, but mainly due to the Korean Terrans+Zergs not attending (yes there was that MLG that is an exception). Yes its true people bitch about zerg because they arn't good at it in Diamond and Sub ladders - but the game is balanced for the highest level of play, not casuals.

[TheBulldog077]

@00habu you are stupid ... the ENDLESS mukas that costs NOTHING ?!? and the viper ... do you hate when the colossus hits you from a 47368 millions miles away ? well there is you problem fix and the marriens fucking shouthing and kill you in a moments ... this is fix too ! ;)

[crishix]

well i like the carrier but lets face it.... its almost never used because is not cost effective. Carriers are used in the late game and by then a relative small group of viking counters them pretty well and stimed marines can destroy all the interceptors very quickly. same as zerg... corruptors are extremely good against carriers and hydras destroy the interceptors EZ.

[lvlichaelly]

this is the most retarded expansion ever. I am throwing away my masters and starcraft life all together

[Laserchicken88]

new zerg units look really cool. However... those swarm hosts don't look very effective, I think harassing with lings is better, but then again those shredders from terran can deal with that. I wonder if the viper cloud works for shredders.

[dustanater10]

@Laserchicken88 well you have to consider the locust were going up against 6 siege tanks and 8 marines with 2 bunker and 2 scvs repairing and there was only 9 swarm host and after 2 spawns they already took down the bunkers so you have to consider if they can eat that much siege fire they are probably pretty strong

[Killer390]

@Laserchicken88 they probably do. The viper cloud seems very much like dark swarm from broodwar. And dark swarm was quite useful then.

[BeelzebubTerror]

Where are all the new Terran units? All I see are Cybertronians.

[allenamenbesetzt]

I still wonder why they had to take out the mothership and the carries, apparently to make room for the two new protoss air units. couldn't they just let everything in? though, protoss might be a little too lopsided towards the air then...

[BadKarmaX751]

Oh god, so many delightful new tactics are swirling in my mind.

[bioniclemaster1]

@Kaoss10 fuck no offense to you but i fucking hate it when people use OP on everything that looks good or does good shit, protoss got unites removed and i think terran did to, zerg gained units its fucked up but dont stop blizzard in its tracks guys seriously

[DarkeeStarcraft]

quit acting like you EVER used carriers. they were used in less than .5% of protoss games. useless unit. You act like all HOTS is are these new units. There are also tons of changes to the units already in the game. so toss quit bitching ffs.

[nmc400]

@flashburn117 they're not taking out the thor but has changed the thor. they made thors similar to a mothership. you can only have one thor but its HUGE and does massive aoe dmg and can take enormous amount of dmg

[flashburn117]

@nmc400 I see... I also saw that they took out the Carriers and the Motherships... WTF

[TheBulldog077]

@flashburn117 Because they were never used MORON ! if you used them you are Bronze league ... noob !

[flashburn117]

@TheBulldog077 Well someone is insulting...  And I'll buy the Carrier not being used, but I still like the unit, but are wrong about the Mothership.

[flashburn117]

@TheBulldog077 and btw, I'm wood league all the way :D lol

[mrcusanelli]

@TheBulldog077

ever play 2v2's or higher? you see it all the time (when scrubfags aren't cheesing)

But leave it to blizz to fuck over all other modes of play while turning T into the god-tier race.

[TheBulldog077]

@mrcusanelli the carrier is useless unit ! it can be countered so easy !!! well for the mothership i disagree too but steel this doesn't make Terran OP ... i think that the protoss is OP now !!! and please don't make me explain the hole thing again ... :X

[Lazris59]

@flashburn117 Mothership I don't agree with but carriers... they are like hydras, all offense no defense. And they cost way too much investment for the enemy to just get corrupters or Vikings...

[flashburn117]

@Lazris59 True, but I feel like they could have tweaked the Carriers... ehh

[MrBeardedragon]

@flashburn117 probably because they were so damn hard...

[Voy2378]

counter to replicant..... mass marines :P
