Quote from Karune
Speaking of the Nomad, it has actually gotten it's new art update, and a name update as well. It is now known as the Vulkan, and will be raining down chaos at your expansions with its Auto Turrets.

On that same note, the Archon has also been updated visually with an amazing portrait animation that will surely command respect when ordering this guy around. Furthermore, say good bye to the 'walking' Archons as the 'legs' to the unit model have been removed. This unit now hovers around the battlefield decimating enemy forces like a true ominous being.

Keep a look out for these two art updates in future screenshot releases :)

Warp Ray is now renamed into Void Ray.

The Jackal is also renamed into the Hellion

So basically the Hellion is a vulture replacement?

Hellion....

Seriously, that is not a creative name. Sounds stupid, actually.

Yay for the Archon losing its retarded legs, it didn't do the unit justice.

The greatest part of StarCraft II is the fact that they can introduce new units through patches if they happen to screw something up.

STOLEN FROM UNREAL TOURNMENTSzZs!

QFT tho.

Tbh... they might as well called it "xXHellionXx".

Oh yes, and Unreal Tournament just made the name up on the spot I'm sure.

Who gives a shit if the name is un-creative? I've lived a decade with "Terran Marine" the most generic name you give to an infantry unit in a sci-fi genre. Same with a lot of the units "Command Center, Battlecruiser, Shuttle, Carrier, Overlord, Overmind, ..."

Actually looking at the name, its MORE creative then most units in Starcrat. So stop your fucking bitching.

Hellion. What else were they going to call it? Some lame composite name like AnarchyLawlessness or AngryUndead?

I think the fact that it's not really generic makes it out of place. :P

"Firebat" isn't generic.
"Goliath" isn't generic.
"Templar" isn't generic.

Why not "Hellion"? The only bad thing about that is the fact that it sounds Diablo/Warcraft-y



None.

Goliath and Templar are indeed generic names for those units. I'll give you Firebat though. But your argument is pretty flawed considering the generic names outnumber the original names like 10:1.

Anyway I'm not against lame/generic names. Just as long as they don't start calling units "Light Tank" "Medium Tank" "Heavy Tank".



None.

The Goliath may sound fearsome, but... its small as hell.
Templars are divine knights or whatever, so I retract that statement.

But Yea, I guess you're right.

About that. If you want units to fit their actual scale size then you would have to choose between marines you can barely see or battlecruisers that fill the entire screen.

Actually Marine isn't generic, either you would get "Soldier", "Trooper", "Shock Trooper", "Marauder", and "Rifleman". Marines are obviously based on the USMC and the Royal Marines.

Marines are based on a fusion of Ironman and conscript soldiers. :omfg:

Keep trying though.
