New Nullifier7 months 2 weeks ago
by Sixen

That's right folks, looks like the Nullifier [once again] has a new name, and a new look. Though it was previously called the Disruptor, it was still known as the Nullifier in everyone's heart and soul. Perhaps some last minute changes before the Beta? Who knows!

Say hello to the Sentry!
I think the new look is way better and love the name.

Very nice, although I already feel the visual effects in that orb killing my POS PC.

Gotta say that the name change and the model change are really pleasing. I finally can like the unit. Never truly liked the last model or it's names. Sentry sounds very protossy in a way. =)

Yeah but i still have a feeling the name will not stay. It doesn't slide as smooth as I would like. It also reminds me of a sentry gun from Modern warfare 2. I believe the Auto Turret now used to be called the sentry gun. Not sure though.

There are bound to be overlaps when using more generic names. It is more likely that some other game had something of a similar/same name if you use a generic name like that.

I don't know what could slide more easily off the tongue Sen-try as opposed to having to say Nul-li-fi-er or Dis-rupt-or. It isn't the easiest word there is but it is a definite improvement over the longer names it had before. It is now plain and simple.

Although you can never really tell with Blizzard they seem to like to change names on some units a little bit too much. Nomad/Vulcan/Nighthawk/Raven anyone?

Although I do hope that the Raven and Sentry names stay. They are the best ones so far imo.

Also I would like to see some other units get their name changed too. Some of them being Stalker and Phoenix. Those two just don't sound convincing at all to me, now that the Phoenix has lost the overload ability and Stalkers name never sounded all that Protoss like even if it was Dark Protoss unit.

The word I would use to describe it is that the new model is simply way better than the last one. Looks more protossy in any case. But I wouldn't call it intimidating.

I would call it .... shiny. xD

Yeah, I'm still holding out for Blizzard to give the Phoenix a more phoenixy move than the antigravity graviton whateverthehell beam... Overload may have been easily avoidable, but AG beam just doesn't do it for me... (I digress...)

I think the new sentry model is definitely a step in the right direction, and the name a) fits the roll a lot better and b) is easier to spit out.

it's amazing how much that handful of changes to the model design takes it from the least protossy protoss unit to completely believable.

Protoss are just a delicious race aren't they?

Looks good, but I never had a problem with the old one :)
