I came into this forum expecting an SC2 topic but apparently no one caught on or bothered to announce.

Blizzard finally announced it. That page is all we've got now, but expect a trailer to come online soon... discuss!

Some new units include the Dark Templar Stalker (a sort of answer to the Dragoon) that can teleport short distances, and also just looks cool. Dragoons have now become Immortals, all but invincible to "powerful" attacks. Here's the full list

New units

Terran


Reaper: Look much like the Marines, but carry dual machine pistols and function differently. Reapers have jump jets allowing them to hop down or up a tier, making them effective tools for exploiting weak spots in an elevated base.


Protoss


Colossus: A large quad-legged vehicle that fires strong dual lasers. Shown in the video destroying a large wave of Zerglings. This unit can also traverse differences in terrain height.


Immortal: Replaces the dragoon. Strong defense against powerful attacks, but vulnerable to weaker attacks which do not activate their shields.


Mothership: A powerful flying unit which consumes an extreme amount of resources to produce, but is a unique unit (1 at a time). Has the Timebomb ability, which slows all enemy missile attacks, and the Earth Cracker, a large laser that obliterates anything in its path, in the style of Independence Day. Also has an ability to create a black hole. Looks like a floating sand dollar.


Phase Prism: A dual-purpose unit, able to transport units or act as a mobile pylon.


Phoenix: Can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast, but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.


Stalker: Dark Templar units inspired by the Dragoon, capable of ranged attacks and teleporting quickly over short distances to avoid terrain and chase retreating enemies.


Warp Ray: Flying unit that deals damage with a blue laser that does more damage as it focuses on the same target. Powerful against tough units and buildings, but wastes damage on small units and can be quickly overcome.


Zerg


Nydus Worm: Can be used to transport small units such as zerglings underground.


Banelings: Mutated Zerglings filled with explosive and acidic chemicals that can roll across terrain and explode on impact.


Succubus: Special ground unit. "Infect" ability allows takeover of hostile organics for a limited amount of time, ending in the target unit exploding and damaging everyone around it.


Updated units

Terran


Siege Tank: unknown as of now.


Protoss


Zealot: Will have a new charge ability, allowing a zealot unit to quickly close the distance between itself and an enemy unit.


Zerg


Zergling: New ability to mutate into suicidal "Banelings".


New racial abilities


Protoss: can create shields anywhere, and warp prefabricated units close to any Pylons and deployed Phase Prisms.

Try the new forum. It was on the front page. Only problem is. Normal members can't post there so only mods been having a conversation on it. But there has been many topics on the map making of SC2.

Forum announcement.

MrOrange

Yeah. But normal members can't post their opinions on it. Even through this guy missed it for some strange reason. At least we have a topic that we can all talk about it.
