GameStar: Can allies also use the nydus-canal?

Browder: Currently no. We just defined what abilities should have an effect on allies. The nydus-canal is not on that list. However it is not impossible that we still change our opinion. What do you think?

I really hope they allow allies to be able to use the Nydus Worm (I guess we'd have to set some rules, like if the Thor could use it or not).

But I think it'd really spice things up.

I'm leery of the name changes... not that I hate name changes, but we're dealing with a different language here.

Raven sounds a lot like nighthawk to me (both being black-colored birds and all). Some of the German names are quite different (eg instead of stalker, use the German name for stalker). It's possible other "name changes" are also translations (eg disruptor for nullifier).

[Eligor]

That's very possible. Would definitely explain "Raven".

So looking at the German article, it doesn't say anywhere that the Defense Drone only works against static defenses. It just uses Missile Turret missiles as an example and says the drone will be very useful against bases.

damn now i think about it this drone is going to aid in drops

Where are you guys seeing this stuff on the Defensive Drone...? I'm very interested.

Nice to get more SC2 beta info. It will have to do to satisfy our wait till then.

I'm a bit worried about so much focus being on micro. What made SC1 great was that there was a good balance of micro and macro. People have been complaining about this for ages. I could be wrong, it might work out.
