Starcraft 1 was not exactly 100% originality either. But it has its own uniqueness in the form of gameplay that to this day remains almost entirely unbroken. It looks like they avoided changing too much from the original and we should at least be thankful for that. The characters, features, places, style and mood...its all still there from the looks of the screenshots I have hoped to see an new beginning to the anti-climatic end of Starcraft: Brood War for years, I gave up hope thinking that Blizzard simply did not care about the Starcrafters anymore. It was all WoW WoW WoW for them. But that faith is restored from this report. They better not screw it up. |

I doubt they are called that. Maybe Tri-Pod of Righteousness |

Actualy they are quadropods. But the resemblance to darkwalkers was striking, particulary with the twin high powered link beams. Of course they would not be called DarkWalkers or else Epic might get uppity with them. |

In pant's screenshot link, aren't nthe attackers in the top pic dragoons. Looking closely, I think I see four legs. However, goons used to throw phase disruptor blobs |

Hell. It's about time. Anyways, I'm sure it'll be great, and I'm really looking forward to it, so long as it's not the giant pile of suck that is War3. Blizzard hasn't released a good RTS since the original Starcraft, lets all hope they get back on track with this one. I'm just glad it's being released long enough for now that it's not a direct competitor to C&C3. It'd be a shame to see the two giants of RTS gaming going up against each other again. Just Kidding. Personally, I'm more excited about DX3. |

Yea I can see four legs too but those cant be the dragoons. Check out what the website says about them. The "new dragoons" look very different from what we see in that screenshot Im guessing it is either its a new unit or an old alpha version of an revisioned unit |

The big four-legged things are colossi. They're basically a giant tank that can walk up/down cliffs, and they seem to be pretty effective against most kinds of ground targets, even groups of infantry. Probably kinda weak on the armor, though. And I'm not convinced that the immortals are replacements for the dragoons. Seem more like a "heavy" dragoon to me. But who knows? |

Oy... If you read the Immortals' description in the official 'site, you'll know that most of Protoss' Dragoon-producing temples have been destroyed, leaving the remaining ones with no other choice but to arm themselves against total extinction. Thus they've named themselves the Immortals. ORIGINAL TEXT: Before the loss of Aiur, veteran protoss warriors who had been crippled in battle could volunteer to continue their service by being transplanted into dragoon exoskeletons. Now, the dragoons of the past are all but gone. The sacred shrine that was dedicated to the creation of the dragoons was infested by the zerg and lost along with the protoss homeworld itself. The remaining dragoons have become the immortals, refitted with twin phase disruptors and hardened energy shields that can shrug off the most powerful weapon strikes - though at the cost of leaving them more vulnerable to the pinprick attacks of lesser foes. The heavily armed and shielded immortals give critical fire support to the ferocious legions of zealots by eliminating enemy artillery and ranged attackers, allowing the zealots to close in and complete their work of destruction. But the loss of every immortal is keenly felt. These ancient warriors are a dying breed pledged to give their all in the end times of their race. They stand on the front lines of the final war, sacrificing themselves to buy their race a few more days or hours. Soon none will remain. |

I looked at the gameplay videos, they explain alot. The "darkwalkers" are a new unit altogether. Known as a "Colossus". Dragoons are the Immortals. But there are also "Stalkers" which serve a similar purpose |
