About the Infested Protoss, they have been removed from the curret build of sc2. But any thoughs about this? Do you think the Infested Protoss should be brought back or it's removed for the better? I personally think Infested Protoss units would be awesome.

They should.

They had infested Terrans in SC1, why not infested Protoss.

In fact they should even have Infested Zerg :P

IIRC, currently, the infested Zealots are out.

Syphon doesn't read b4 he posts.

Anyways, has there been any leaked concept art? More than anything I want SC2 because I want to see wtf was in Duarn's test tube, this is bullshit.

I think the Infested Protoss units were removed because story-wise, they'd be too powerful, and they're supposed to be hard to infest (otherwise, they'd've done it a long time ago).

It'd also steal the thunder of Duran's experiments. The bonus mission set everyone up for these super-powerful hybrids, then, for no apparant reason, those hybrids are in melee mode and aren't anything special.

Well, now you gotta think back to how you couldn't build Infested Terrans even though I am sure the Zerg has infested the Terran race a billion times before. Then there's also Kerrigan and Duran.

There are many different types of infest that the Zerg can use, so I think about it a Queen's infesting is different than the assimilation of a race into the Zerg genus. So I would use the back-up that it's just the ugliest thing ever's spell.

Besides, I think an infested zealot with long, fleshy/bony blades for arms would look awesome.

Possibly infested Protoss?

Not to mention they almost never actually die, just get warped out.

@Syphon: If I recall correctly, that screenshot had the caption "Infested Dragoon Factory". While I doubt it'd produce Infested Dragoons, it's likely a Zerg hive in a Protoss structure.

No.. look closely..
there's an eye on the top.
it's the Overmind.

I have a feeling they are going to do something like this. Fenix's destroyed body is recovered by Duran's forces which is then used for an experiment to create hybrids. Therefore making an "infested" Fenix.

They're already made infested razagal.. i wonder how they did that in the first place anyways?...

Infested Protoss'd be awesome =D.. just one unit (like infested terran) is good enough.. and then, have them totally own terran and protoss.. and the xel'naga steps in on the expansion and destroys the infested protoss population and thus stops the zerg's rampage.. .

Brilliant!

She was more brainwashed by Kerrigan than flat out infested.

Besides, the Hybrids are more like... Built from the ground up as the two races being one. Not just infested/mutated, but a full fledged unity between the two. Infested Protoss would work fine :/
