Heroes should drive the classic vehicles

I think it would be nice if the heros still piloted or drove their classic units. IE, scouts are obsolete, replaced by the fenix. But it would be cool if Artanis commanded an old "tuned up" scout instead of a phoenix. Jim raynor could still ride his classic vulture.
It would be cool to see a new 3D version of this vehicles, piloted by the heroes, amongs the new units.

 

I think that is a great idea! It would definitely add to the whole campaign 'hero' experience!

 

yah, but i dont think all of the heroes in starcraft 2 should get to ride those old vehicles. or else wtf? maybe artanis on his "champion" scout is enough.

 

Well, of course not all of them. Actually, I think that those 2 heroes are the only ones who ride units that have been modified. Mengsk has a Battlecrusiers, all the other heroes just walked.

 

opps my mistake. yah you are right. i was thinking about new heroes too riding old vehicles. lol

vulture for raynor? hhmmm... how about a badazz version of a cobra? ^^

 

dude this would be awesome. and it'd be nice to see some old units return.

 

Heh heh.....

 

I like the idea.
Not every hero should ride old vehicles, but all of them should be unique.

 

This would really add to the unique properties of hero units. It really shows which one of the many units is a hero. Good idea! owerup:

 

Hehe it would certainly be a cool idea to implement... although it would be like:
"Zeratul (To Raynor): Man, i can't believe you bought the same bucket-@$$ car."
"Raynor (To Zeratul): Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Props to anyone who can figure out from where i quoted that.

 

Piloting a Vulture when everybody else is piloting a Cobra would be like using a flintlock pistol when everybody else has a machine gun (Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea). No matter how much you upgrade it, it really won't be as good as the newer vehicle.

That said, I would like to see some of the starcraft 1 units in 3D. Maybe they could be easter eggs in some levels?

 

true, i'm sure most of the older vehicles are now obselete, but still. Raynor in a vulture... that'd be awesome.

 

Besides, having the old units will help if someone EVER decides to remake the original campaigns in a SC2 version. Pretty simple if the sounds are extracted from the MPQs. Actually a single man can do it.

 

Raynor should have his bike attached to his battle cruiser. Than he could jump away on it as his ship exploded.

 

wow. nice idea. it would be great to play the original campaign again in 3d and in starcraft 2. maybe they will include it on starcraft 2, you get to choose to play the original missions too. 3d carriers! yes! but its very unlikely to happen.

 

The users will eventualy make those campaigns. We can count on the chaps on campaign creations or star alliance to do it. After all, if the fans made a half life 2 engine version of half life 1, SC can be made into SC2. Its quite simple.

 

Yeah it would be cool but not gonna happen. And like you said the units the various hero's piloted (the ones that are still alive anway) are all obsolete now. It would be like someone using a rotary phone instead of a cell phone. Maybe with the editing tools people can make them for various mods.

 

i think heros should get their own SPECIAL unique unit, that would be awsome

 

´well i bring good news then:

Surprisingly, some of the units from the first Starcraft that have been removed for the sequel have actually been built and will be available for modders to use.
sourcerado

 

A Vulture escape pod? AWESOME! That would add some humor...that is, assuming that the Hyperion gets blown up, which wouldn't be so fun.

But yeah, I think that Artanis should still use a tuned up scout, at the very least. He is the new leader of the Protoss apparently, so he should be able to ride whichever vehicle he darn well pleases!
