Brood War released! New units tested!!






The much anticipated expansion set to the best selling game of this year was finally released. Brood War should be at a local software store near you, and it is everything we've been waiting for.

The new units for the expansion set is very cool. For the terrans, the Valkyrie and Medic join forces. The Protoss add Cosair, Dark Templars and Dark Archons to the attack. Zergs counter with Lurkers and Devourers. So far, I have played a few games, and this is what I have experienced so far.

Remember mass marines rushes, well, add a couple of groups of medics, and with a science vessels, this becomes even deadlier. Try to stim pack as they are about to reach the enemy, and watch the medic heal them to full HP, amazing strategy. The Dark Templars are quiet annoying early in the game, especially when you don't have a detector, again, the importance of having a detector or two. The Zergs don't have that problem, but the new units are hardly used. The Lurkers are good, but many don't upgrade from Hydralisks. The favorite race so far seems to be the Protoss and Terrans.

Things will change, as people develop more strategy. So keep on a look out, and if you have an interesting strategy, e-mail and let me know.
