I kinda hope this is their April fool's joke, and the real thing turns out to be MIND INSPIRING. I have been waiting for 8 years too.

I'm dissapointed with the Protoss already given that they look so unrealistic and cartoony. Also, whats up with everything having area of effect? I think the ghost is a little out of whack but i do love the idea of giving it an EMP upgrade. The marines are awesome but I'd love to see their HP's get up to about hydralisk strength considering they A. get shields and B. are upgraded from the brood war. Firebats always sucked ass, give the terran a diesel melee unit already and seriously I want the missle turret gone and bunkers upgradable to attack manually or with increased attack with garrisoned marines. Back to the Protoss though honestly... A MOTHERSHIP, WARP RAY, CARRIER, AAAAAANNNNND an anti zerg air: thats just over the top fuck the carrier shit was gay in the first place. ON TO THE ZERG I read a few older blogs oday, since I stumbled on this site today, and I loved the idea that a zerg unit could spit creep since the terran can build anywhere and the protoss being totally lame and cheap once again can TELEPORT FUCKING UNITS AND BUILDINGS with the phase prism. I also liked the wings ability allowing the lings to jump around the map, or a unit that would do that job a little better. Basically I've been witing like 8 years for this, and I want it to be perfect. I know for a fact Blizzard will take care of me, because they always have, but seriously I hope whats on the website changes a good deal before press release. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!

I think the turrets should be on a time clock and run out of energy and dissapear after a few seconds. I like the idea on having be able to drop on top of the siege tank.

At first, I thought it was too "Warcraft 3", but now I think it could be a neat ability with potential to be micro'd well. I think some sort of "unpacking" animation is required in order for the ability to make visual sense. In addition, I think the turret should be fairly weak, especially against larger units. its main role in battle would be tactical - you'd slow down a swarm of flanking zerglings, harass workers, or drop it on top of a siege tank.

Of course I might be wrong since only a very few details have been revealed but even so... It doesn't sell for me. If it would be like the Vulture's spidermines in BroodWar, wherein the Nomad gets 3 of it through an Ability Research, I would get a team of nomads then use the turrets to create a path of destruction for my army to use... or I could use it to harass the opponent's economy. I don't know if that is fair... its like warping-in a phase cannon without any pylon matrix. As i said before, we don't know the full details of the auto turret so, I could be wrong. Great update, by the way!!!! Solid work SC2 blog team!!! I don’t buy the new auto turret ability.
