You always use the "balance factor" as a pitiful excuse for removing the good stuff the terrans have such as the AoE attack from Banshees, the cobra & the back cannon the thor, THEN WHAT ABOUT THE PROTOSS MOTHERSHIP!!! Where's the balance in that, the mothership costs only slightly more than the terran battlecruiser & it probably could destroy 10 battlecruisers at once. Also, what the hell is the deal with the medivacs, you're better off using armed dropships. Can the medivacs even use the "restore" ability that once medics have? Also, the mothership also have 800HP and only 300 shields. why don't you make it the otherway around so there will be an easier strategy to defeat it. Also, where is the balance when you allow the player to build as many motherships as they want? The balancing they use at blizzard is completely distorted. Speaking of which, where's the lockdown ability that the ghosts once had. I remember the executives at blizzard once said "the ghosts in starcraft 2 is way stronger than the ghosts in the original starcraft", how much stronger are they against the protoss when the lockdown is removed & replaced with some anti-terran ability. I am now having questions about the EMP ability on ghosts, is it going to be like the missile fired from science vessels or is it going to be like a grenade or will the ghost have to walk very close to the target in order to detonate the EMP? will the EMP shot damage protoss air units aswell? Also, why did you remove the plasma rays on the battlecruiser & replace it with the missile barrage, which will probably look like the attack of the valkyries in brood war. Didn't the people at blizzard removed the valkyries because they were useless? Installing a missile barrage function completely defeats the purpose of removing the valkryries. Also, didn't you get replace the bombardment cannons on the thor and replace them with flak cannons so to deal with massive numbers of air units? so why add another ability for battlecruisers to do the same? I am a big fan of starcraft and I always play the terrans in skirmish games because of the frustration involved in coordinating attacks with protoss units and the zergs make me sick. Stop adding useless abilities to terran units and bring back some of the old units in brood war such as the medics and/or add some of their old abilities to the new units of starcraft 2. Stop beefing up the protoss. Please bring back the cobra you once removed from the game and the area of effect attack of the banshees. I always noticed starcraft lacked realism but what I heard recently about starcraft 2 really surprise me. I would expect the terrans to have better technology many years after suffering a major defeat at the hands of the zergs, NOT worse. Honestly, Stop nerfing the terrans, nerf the protoss for god sake.

The firebat was my favorite terran unit, and i feel the marauder is a firebat without the fire, in other words lame. The thor was a cool unit, but now that they nerfed it really does seem useless. The banshee was awesome in the original demo of terran game play, a low tier aoe, so i dont see why they took it away, because waiting for plasma torpedoes on bc's is just going to get you wiped early on by mass zerglings. Speaking of zerg, wat is the role of the roach? besides being a low tier tank, which i admit the zerg do need, i dont like it, it seems too much like a big zergling, or a fat low range hydra.

I love the terran's gun sounds and BOOM sounds. Don't listen to those whining kids who say "that's bad, this is bad...". Just keep the original Thor, the better HP bc, and replace maruder(?) with the original firebat. I want the BOOM factor of the terrans. Not the dwarfed boom sounds. Come on blizzard. I love your games. I have bought WC1,2 and 3. And I have SC too. I would really like to buy SC 2, and please, make it the best game you have ever built. Don't listen to the whiners.

The Zergs are imbalanced now. I'm tired of seeing 450 HP Battlecruisers, AoE LESS Banshees, Medivacs, and Thors with no role! Now there comes Ultralisks that BURROW, have 600 HP, deals splash damage, does 25 damage to buildings, and Banelings that burrow and destroy everything! They've nerfed the Terrans TOO much, I'm really disappointed, considering I am a Terran player... of course, Arcturus Mengsk isn't exactly the brightest of all people, and Kerrigan is really smart, but seriously. 450 HP Battlecruisers? I was upset when the Banshees lost the AoE. I mean, Wraiths were my favorite units in Starcraft I, and now that Banshees stole its thunder, I saw that AoE rockets and got instantly hooked (although I'm still a little sour about the removal of the Wraiths- it was the desktop icon for crying out loud!). But now that the AoE rockets are gone, and as we all know, the Zergs are clustered multiple weak units that come and kill, I'm really disappointed. Really really disappointed. Are they trying to nerf the Terrans so that the Zergs would come and wreak havoc for all they want? Ugh... Also, check this out. Medivacs. Replacement of Medics... dropships that come out just so they can heal the Reapers that are just too quick for Medics to reach. Er... no thanks. I don't want to have one Marine out there just to have all my Medivacs come to the enemy base to have a gazillion Spore Colonies destroy them! Medics were just fine! Besides, I'd rather use Medics in conjunction with Marines! If I wanted Reapers to be healed, I'd hit and run and bring them back to the Medics. The Medivacs are just not cool of a concept. And also, Vikings are back at the Starport... WHAT?!! I liked them built at the Factory, and I always thought of them as Goliaths that transform to an air fighter. And we need the Wraith back! I don't know about you, but I think the Zergs are too strong and the Terrans are being nerfed WAY too much. Oh goodness. The Zergs are imbalanced now.

It's too bad that blizzard keeps nerfing terran units like 450hp BC's and Bombardmentless Thor's and Stimpackless Reapers. I don't know what the deal is with that but as long as Thor is concerned, give it back bombardment. AND FOR THE LOVE OF PROTOSS, DON'T GIVE "MOTHERSHIP" VOID! It genuinely looks too powerful (or if it should be used, one time use only per unit made like vulture spider mines). I completely agree with comment #16.
