    The Goliath is actually a combination of the Terran version and the UED version. The Terran Goliath has no missile racks but has the big cannons. The UED one has 2 large missle racks but no large cannons.

    Dude, the Goliath also had missiles and 2 machine guns in SC1. Only in the cinematics did the UED one have two large missile racks and 1 small gun underneath the cockpit. The artwork and renders for the actual Goliath show it having only 1 machine gun, but in-game it also has the 2 missile racks. That's in SC1.

    Kudos to Arkceangel for the Terran avatar and sig!

    I don't see UED style missle racks here.

    UED Goliath doesn't have the 2 large cannons.

    You'll notice the Goliath looks like weak crap because of how they changed the way the guns look. Notice in SC1 that the Guns are 'slung over the shoulder'?

    Now they look like they're 'shooting from the hip' if you know what I mean.

    It looks really bad like that. They should really put the guns in their original positions, and have the missile racks located further behind, or above it.

    Great point, I didn't notice that. But I don't know, that doesn't seem to cover it...

    Does anyone else get the impression that they just look a lot more generic this time around? That Goliath looks to me like it could have come out of any game or anime or whatever, anywhere. There's absolutely nothing about it that stands out or looks bad-ass or cool.

    It can't just be the guns, can it? :/

    Hell, the Viking looks 100x better, and I never thought I'd be saying that back when we were still getting used to the Viking's "GONNA TIP OVER TO THE LEFT AAAANY SECOND N-- OH, TO THE RIGHT, AAAAANY SECOND NO-" design.

    It's the head part and the balance of the parts, sizes positions, etc. It looks like it could fall down. It's not heavy, etc.

    It can easily be fixed.

    Some more achievement icons!

    BTW, these achievement icons were hidden in the BNET site. I got them by viewing page info with Firefox...





    I see a nuclear core or beacon of some sorts, two strange high templar, Mohandar's Void Ray, Urun's Phoenix, Selendis' Carrier (suggesting all the 3 Protoss leaders will appear in their units in this game, not just in LotV), Stettman's medic powersuit, Raynor with a big gun (which looks like it's out of WarCraft), a Merc Viking, a generator and a Merc BC (WTF! Looks bigger than a normal BC!).

    I never said the UED Goliath has the 2 cannons and never noticed the normal Goliath ALSO had the crotch cannon. This doesn't really matter, as in-game, in SC1, the Goliath has BOTH missile racks and dual auto-cannons.


    This is from the board game. It's been retconned to how it looked and worked in-game. (Auto-guns + missile racks)
