Protoss:
* Black-Hole is too powerful in its current changed and is likely to get a heavy nerf (confirmed by Dustin Browder). They currently suggest it'll have a maximum number of ships "absorbed".
* Before you can start building Stalkers and Immortals you have to purchase a certain research (each unit has its own research) at the Twilight Council.
* Protoss has a new building: Null Circuit, which resembles the Robotic Support Bay of the original game.
* The Fleet Beacon building is back.Terran:
* Firebats are removed from the Terran arsenal.
* The Plantary Fortress is capable of firing only on ground targets.
* The Battlecruiser has a a new ability called "Plasma Torpedo", but it's only one out of many possible upgrades (obviously the Yamato Cannon is one of them).
* Banshees only have air-to-ground attack.
* The Thor can attack both air and ground targets.
Well the dev team left open the possibility of the firebat if the community really wanted it. SC2 is supposed to be different from SC1 but that doesn't mean I can't complain that the firebat has been taken out.
I wish the 1up guys would have asked more questions about the Zerg. Considering we know next to nothing about the damn race.
:(:(
