AKA: The poll that never died.


What would make StarCraft II truly great?

Three-Dimensionality (134 votes, 26%)
Xel'Naga (91 votes, 18%)
Hybrids (79 votes, 16%)
Heroes (45 votes, 9%)
Water units (94 votes, 18%)
More air-oriented (19 votes, 4%)
Zerg rush kekeke ^__^ (47 votes, 9%)




There was a fairly wide spread of votes. The greatest amount went for 3D, which isn't much of a surprise. However, most saw this as a rather superfluous option. If you were ITSTORRASQUE4U you were pretty adamant that Water Units would be rather awesome.

Yep, if you know me just right, then you know what I voted! WATER UNITS ALL THE WAY! Hell, all last polls arguing about it, and I never came up with such a good comment as that of Firedraco: "so much water, and you can´t do anything on it?". I nominate him for a Nobel.



Well, indeedy, seems you've been getting restless, haven't you? Well, I was all tied up trying to think of a new poll. I even cried a little. Anyway I decided, in honour of the recently past 'All Hallows Eve' to create this new monstrosity of Frankenstein-ian proportions.

Which type of units scares you most? Be it gribbliness, the fear of the ugly Lurker, or do you wet your pants because you've just seen that Lurker at a choke point. But you know how to counter that, don't you?

Or, do you fear the real villains of StarCraft.

Developers.

I sure as hell do.

Good luck, have fun. Don't die.

Heros will ruin the game. It will be like WoW excpt in space.
Besides we gotta unff spell casting goin on in the game, I say leave it as it is and add more units. I agree with TORRASQUE now that I think about it make water units.

"Howeve, most saw this as a rather superflous option."

Hehe, I wondered if anyone would notice the 'superflous', or if I'd have to make another post once 'Howeve' is corrected.

I have nothing more to say.

EDIT: I don't mean to sound nit-picky or arrogant or anything unpleasant, but I just noticed 'Frankenstien'. Thought I should point it out.

Well, the thing about water units is that it make the game uneven. Right now, all the races are equal and water units will probably change that. Imagine water seige tanks or zerg infested waters or creep in water or reavers in water. This would also make bad computers lag a lot and they would need to increase the supply limit.

O yeah, you could only have water units on the badlands terrain. Unless, they, you know, put water in space. Hahahahahaha, just laughing from thinking about it.

Instead of making more units, how about another race?

Dunno honestly I was hoping that some how the Xel'naga came into play. Eventually I think they will I mean why talk about them in the Starcraft Broadwar and not even put them in the second starcraft. honestly though...

Anyways the best to all

When you sit there, confident in your defenses, and suddenly a horde of siege tanks, lurkers, battelcruisers, ultralisks, carriers, guardians swarms over you.

Man, that's spooky. I think I just wet my pants

well, there are 5 tilesets out of 7 that have water, and 1 of the ones that doesnt is korhal, and it has those oil pools.
the water units are a very good idea.

LIVE FOR THE SWARM!!!

I like the jamming ability Jimmy. But it would only work if you knew where the terran scanner was scanning. Kind of like a counter method. The only thing is it would really only work with the terrans because they are the only mechanical race. (I sound like a newb typing, such bad werdin')

Although, some kind of blind/jamming could be used somehow... but all the races would have to be able to do it... know what I mean. I'm comment later, I've got gym, don't wanna miss

Well, I'm thinking Starcraft should retain the 2D graphics, it just makes it look and play more classic.

I dont agree much with ITSTORRASQUE4U... about the water units.. the game is called STARcraft... you dont need boats of you're conquering planets one by one... you need larger SPACE ships.. and besides not much maps have a lot of water... its only used to seperate the forces or just plain design...

---the second one is a correction---

I also think there should be another race... its not supposed to be equal to the 3 of them but stronger... the HYBRIDS shold be that race... so, its like the three races like join up and fight the HYBRIDS... I think it would be great awww....to see the terran, zerg and protoss join forces...I think its cool...

I really like the idea of adding a new race into starcraft because it would make the game more fun and interesting. Also I agree with Hyperion because water units would totally ruin the balance between the 3 races and even if you have water units, what are they gonna do to gigantic space craft? Well if you were to add water units you should add a water race because then you could have the three basic races join up to fight this new race that has mysteriously have bases in all water systems throughout all of the planents. That would be a better idea than just adding more water units. Also if you were to just plainly add new ground units it would make the new game better.

Also what was the point of saying that SmegLord?
