New units in singleplayer mode and in world editor !

[Aldrius]

Err... Sounds a tad too refined for the down to earth and utilitarian Terran army. But then, I think I liked Cobra best as a name. Was appropriately menacing and fitted the whole concept of a fast moving, hard hitting vehicle.

Er... well, a Diamondback is just a particular variety of Rattlesnake anyway. Not that different.

Is it? Damn... I knew my Zoology was getting rusty. Take it back then, Diamondblack is fitting (tho' I still like Cobra best).

Hey,

It's the end of NDA so I can write what I'v discovered during the play in singleplayer mode.

After the game crashed (like 5 times during the whole press day) I switched to skirmish mode and suddenly on the build list
I had those units (and also in help mode):

Medic - we know this very well,
Firebat - also very well known but with orginal sounds from sc1,
Spectre - new unit similar to Ghost - can cast lockdown, nuke, halucination (zerglings, hydralisk, mutalisk),
Grenadier - new unit - he throws grenades and are really effective against groups of zergs
Vulture - with great animation of spider mines - orginal sounds from sc1,
Goliath - orginal sounds from sc1
DiamondBack - its a hovercraft that can attack while moving - like Cobra but the model is different
Wraith - also with Cloak
Hercules - really biigggg flaying transporter - you can put there your whole army and there is space left

And ofcourse my favorite new building:

Tech-Reactor - a mix of reactor features and tech lab, so you can build like 2 units in the same time and have all of them unlocked in barracks, starport or factory

The game crashed? any details, error messages, (just curiosity)
Anyways, Goliath with orginal sounds from sc1 is great news, but what about the Wraith just says "also with Cloak"... anything wrong with orginal sounds from sc1???
I hope it does have the orginal sounds from sc1,
otherwise... WTF??? ?

What I'm really curious about is the Spectre's ability to specifically create hallucinations of Zerg units. Wonder whether it ties into the Spectre's lore and origin in any way.

EDIT: Dragoons in single-player, now that's good news. Does it mean we could get the Defiler or Dark Archon back in Zerg and Protoss campaigns? Would definitely be cool.

Great news, if true.
If you ask me Protoss seem to lack something withouth Dark Archon's Mind control.

Sorry, guys, I can neither confirm or deny Element's claims. Yeah, I was there, but since I was pretty much working alone, I had to focus on getting everything I could out of the single-player, and I didn't have any time to look around beyond the campaign.

I think this is "Hercules"

checked in my notes from press event :]

"and also with Cloak" referred to Spectre - i didn't mention but spectre has also cloak ability

and the screen - its normal dropship (with was also present in the game but only in 1 mission and it was npc)

Any URL to your notes?
Relieved about Wraith, cool for spectre...
Hercules??? WTF??? ?

Is it Me or it says "I'm a thief, I'm stealing others properties "

That's an anti-link property on the website to prevent bandwidth stealing. If you go to the core website and find the picture of the firebats standing next to 3 large titanium looking ""space ships" with the numbers 1,2 and 3... you can see what he's attempting to link.

Copy pasted the URL instead of clicking... guess what: no picture, just something rare, what language is that thing!
Anyways is there any URL to those notes?

[Perfecttear]

Could someone download it, and post it here so others could see it ?
