He he. Sweeeeeet...

I wonder how much the new units are going to mess with strategies. It's a good move by Blizzard to change things up. Keeps it interesting and flowing. Also, it will be really interesting to see where they go with the campaign. It's kinda hard to tell from just the trailer...which makes it even better.

Protoss

replicant :copies any any enemy units that you can see and receive their special powers: cloak, siege etc

oracle: flying scouting unit similar to a mix of observe and overseer. able to temporary stop production units or resource harvesting

tempest : mothership, carrier replacement. air superiority capital ship design to destroy huge waves of air units. lasers to fire air to ground.

zerg

viper: infestor + MK scorpian+ overseer+ defiler. can detect units, able to pull friendly or enemy units to you. and creates a cloud to prevent range units from hitting I.E dark swarm.

swarm host
lurker +broodlord. can burrow into the ground to continuously summon units to attack.

terran

Warhound
mini thor: new mech unit very powerful vs other mech/ armor units and can deal decent anti air attacks

battle hellion
has flames and bullets. transformers into either

shredder

created a whirlwind of death... that is all

The pros had such mixed reactions about some of the new units last night on State of the Game, can't wait to see what actually comes from it, and there is NO **** WAY for the the Shredder to EVER get into the game, kills workers in 3 seconds, where is that for the Protoss and Zerg? Swarm Host and Oracle don't even come close to doing what that that thing can do.

But on the other hand, Protoss can make flying, 1000HP cannons (if arc cannon can be cast on non protoss buildings). Just build them, lift them up and land them in the enemy base, then OMFG CANNONS EVERYWHERE!
