    Alright, basically, most races may of noticed this from terran players, my current build does not have a counter to this, and i don't know how to counter it!

    Anywho

    It's a Terran vs Terran game, i'll be building up my base and i'll see a bunker slowly creeping up to me, then marines start to go in the bunker, and pick off my base...By the time, i would have 2 Barracks in construction, with 2 marines fielded. they obviously get there asses kicked by the 4-5 marine squad, and they just end up killing me. An advice on a build will be helpful.

    Then they build bunkers outside that, then it's harder to make my fight for freedom. >_<

    Don't let them build a bunker in the first place. Scout around with a worker and if you see him building a bunker, attack the SCV. If you're lucky you'll kill the SCV before he finishes building, and maybe kill the bunker itself if he doesn't cancel it.

    Or just pull back a bit, rush to tanks and blow it up. Bunkers only give an advantage if you let it, as long as the bunker is not damaging your units in any way, there is no reason to force yourself to fight it at a disadvantage

    Block your choke so they don't get a worker inside in the first place? Thought that was kind of a normal thing to do as terran. :/

    Well, when you block off the choke point, they camp outside your base. I'm trying to keep my economy flowing, building a counter, and trying to keep my choke point choked. But they just get more and more marines...

    Right outside? On low ground? Then turtle a little and tech to siege tanks - he either lets their buildings get destroyed or tries to push in. Emphasis on tries as you'll have your own wall, marines and tanks... not nice to walk into. This way the roles of attacker defender are swapped and you have high ground - see, not a bad situtation at all ;)

    OR simply block your ramp... If he puts his bunker at the bottom of it, he wont be able to fire up cuz he has no sight. if he goes up for sight then kill the imposter and then let them have fun in the bunker thats it.
