The baneling is a great addition to the Zerg arsenal since the Infested Terrans now do not have the suicide ability anymore.

Yep I second that ‘i luv guardians’ – i’m keenly awaiting the awesome death animations we saw in the original starcraft. I think blizzard have quite a task ahead of them in this regard, if they hope their exploding-into-a-pool-of-blood graphics will live up to the awesomeness of their 2d counterparts.

But I’m also curious about whether or not these death animations will be context sensitive for all units. And if there will be variations of these animations – because while being really really cool (like the videos of the marines dying on the dark templar unit page), thats a heap of animations! I hope whatever is planned for this, the animations are snappy and strong; Drawn out death sequences only confuse me, because it takes a little bit longer for me to know that the unit is dead.

beg to differ, like the older version nydus….also i dun like the way hydralisks die…its too simple…red blob of goo…i was expecting something as grand as vikings death, sparks come out and they spin around until they stop and falll to the ground.

Yeah, and these “Fat Bastards” want you IN THEIR BELLEH! *Chomp-chomp!*

PS: I don’t know WHY, but if someone offered to make me a Baneling plushy, I would TOTALLY buy one.

Im holding most judgements in terms of specific game mechanics like units as if its fail it is bound to collapse during testing and the inevitable beta.
The iterative changes are coming extrememly quickly so anything specific seems to be old news soon enough anyway.

I’m just awaiting the next art pass on zerg.

“The Zerg’s unit database has been increased by 50% today, with the official introduction of the Baneling.”

…. LOL. Anyways I’m afraid I don’t like the Baneling- it’s too cheap. grrrrr
