I sense ulimate failures in the recent posts.

I know some of u are not dotards therefore i shall not respond to some of em..



Dont underestimate the power of the Marines!! steampacks + medic can pwn BC and Carrier.

Well how about giving player an option, To switch the baracks to build 1 by 1 or by 3-5 or 12 which have more cost and longer buildtime but in the end is still worth the same as building 1 by 1.

It ease clicking atleast.

That would take away part of the macro/micro of the game already.

its a C. ._.

That would make them as imba as hell.Besides,the real Hydralisk doesnt use poison.Instead,it uses spikes as a projectile.

Please get your facts right.

Ghost currently doesnt have lock down anymore since he has 4 skills now (Cloak,Snipe,Nuclear,and Drop Pods).

I do hope they bring the lockdown ability.

I cant believe Dotards can be so stupid.Go play more games,not DotA 24/7.

I thougt in SC is spits acid and not spikes in SC, in War3 they shoot spikes.
please have a look


Dun believe me play SC again or watch some SC replays from u-tube.

I thought you do not like warcraft and there you quote war3 hydralist.

flame baited /gg

It spits something call Needle Spines,which is more or less like spikes.I got it from SC and i have tried getting a screenshot but the screenshot looks weird after i took it.

Besides,i have been playing SC1 ever since SC2 is announced.

Actually, I'm quite amused that you claimed you played starcraft but never knew hydralisks were your valiumancers. I mean... c'mon!

And BTW, DOTA's a mod, which stands for modification, and is built under the Warcraft 3 engine. FYI, it resembles a map in WC3, and thus uses WC3's mechanics. This does not make it a game. Yes, a very popular mod, like Counterstrike is a mod for Half Life (bet you didn't know that huh?), but please don't confuse it as a RTS, because it is NOT an RTS. Thinking it as so would be like calling CS an FPS with an excellent story.

Besides, you don't need to know kerrigan's bra size to know Starcraft. There's a big difference in not knowing the Hydralisk and not knowing Kerrigan's sexual position preference, for obvious reasons.

This is my last pot shot at dotards. Now get back to the discussion!

Added on August 13, 2007, 10:00 amHydralisk spits spikes. Green spikes to be certain. And it don't spit them. It fires them from their chest cavity. Re-play starcraft, and there is a cinematic with Hydralisks rushing a marine squad in a science vessel. Or, play Starcraft, move your mouse cursor over to the weapon icon in an individual Hydralisk's portrait (the one that shows your weapon upgrade level). Then read the description text (Needle Spines).

There is no indication that Hydralisks ever used any poison or venom at all. Not in the manual, not in the game, not anywhere. I suspect the green stuff is the mucus that goes with the spikes like those drool from aliens.

BTW, I DO think that Hydralisks were inspired by the Aliens from... well, duh, Aliens.

I think the only unit that use acids are Guardians.

Devourers.

Acid Spores, Corrosive Acid

If I'm not mistaken. They do throw their spikes which is covered with venom. I read it in a SC novel, not sure which one.

Well thing about novel spin-offs is sometimes the authors get the facts wrong. I remember reading somewhere about the SC novel's inconsistencies with the official game story, so I don't really consider them canon.

Anyway, how do you think SC2 will change the way SC is played?

In the old SC days, terran was both noob friendly and versatile at the same time. A really good race to invest time into mastering, because of its flexibility. Protoss was more of a hard handed artillery race - sacrificing mobility and flexibility for durability and firepower, while zerg takes on the other extreme. Will this racial philosophy change with SC2? So far I see, the team in SC2 are starting to abandon these racial philosophy and instead cater for more varied playstyle with units like stalkers for protoss (high mobility) and heavier and more durable terran units (marine shield upgrade?).

What do you guys think?

Remember the movie scene where a few marines went to a station to bomb it?
There is one marine removed his headgear to drink coke, then the hydralisk mucous dripped on his head and he went screaming in pain.

I guess hydralisk's mucous is acidic.

that was not mucous dripped..that was really a needle spine

i've watched it multiple times

you can also see it in Firebat Hydralisk hunter in SC2 Artworks page
