How can Terrans shoot infinitely?

Re: how can terrans shoot infinitly?

i think it would just be too much trouble and we're better off with infinite ammo

 

Re: how can terrans shoot infinitly?

Relic tried the supply lines thing in Homeworld.

It wasn't in HW2 There's a reason for that

 

Re: how can terrans shoot infinitly?

Ammo also is in the Earth 21XX Franchise but it just doesn´t add anything fun or usefull. Even if you manage to destroy a enemys means to reload individual units still have enough munition to finish a larger skirmish... meaning you just wasted your time.

 

Re: how can terrans shoot infinitly?

lol, you play homeworld2? and earth series? omg, i thought it was only me. cheers!

ammo is to much of a problem, comon, its a GAME

 

Re: how can terrans shoot infinitly?

Because it would be a lot less fun in an RTS if they had to reload. Also, melee units would have a heavy advantage over gun-toting units as they would be able to beat the crap out of them while they are reloading.

EDIT: Sorry Terrangod I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just taking something said from Family Guy and with other people saying things like they poop it out I thought it would be acceptable. I removed it.

 

owerdown:
bad explanation and perverted and practically useless info pajamasalad

 

well... the marines do shoot in burst rounds which saves it.

 

maybe they die before they use up their ammo suply?

 

we can say that and imagine each marine having ammo belts, but we dont see them. after each battle, each marine get resupplied, or right before the mission starts.

 

I have the answer. The answer is.... ITS A GAME. How come all the cowboys in the John Wayne movies all shoot in the air indefinately without reloading? Its a movie.

 

Maybe they don't reload because they can't? If the gun kind of functions like a machine gun (a box of ammo instead of a clip), then maybe the gun contains all the ammo inside it. Those guns are pretty big, and I'm not sure how big the bullets are. If the bullets are small enough, you could probably fit thousands into one gun. If they need more ammo, they can probably just grab a fresh one (gun) from a dead marine.

Or maybe they just cheat. Hell, the player can, why not the units?

 

We must consider that they use gauss rifles, which means that there's no need for gunpowder or casing and so the bullets are relatively small. The guns are huge so I'm sure the magazines can hold enough bullets for extended gunfights. After that they are dead or ready to reload.

I don't personally know a single rts where troops have to reload.

 

Don't worry about the explanations TerranGod.

I myself wondered the same question. And there is, unfortunately, no answer to this question. This is a game. That's the answer. And if the developers had to wait to solve this question, and gave to the marines an obligation to load their guns, so, to balance between all the races I would suggest for the zergling to sandpaper, to cut its scratches to be more pwerful, and for the zealot to stop fighting for a while to get more breath to give more power to the psi blades.

well well it's preferable like this. HOWEVER if you remember well in the first brood war cinematic (the intro) we see a marine launching a grenade against two zerglings and blew them up. How was that possible ? Because no marine has a launch-grenades. That's another impossible question. .... It is just a game.

 

He was part of a miltia...they wouldn't exactly have wraiths to defend themselves with, so it's no surprise one or two guys would pack something a bit more explosive. Wouldn't be practical to have many of those guys those, they would be VERY limited in ammo...

And there is an RTS, Scarecrow, Company of Heroes. It's a good game, I recomend it.

 

Because if Starcraft 2 implemented some sort of reloading animation for the Terrans, I'll shoot my Marines myself before the rushing Zealots slaughter them.

At least the enemy won't get credit for the kill. Ha!

 

it is possible the marines were issued with overwatch rifles...

 

That makes no sense. Overwatch does run out of ammo. They just keep enoguh mags on hand to ensure our death

 

why are there constantly new posts in this stupid thread? its basically spam...
