is reaper That usefull

Um, you can taunt any unit. Its a valid strategy, many players will force part of there opponents army to chase a unit by entering their line of sight, then attacking those units which stray from the main group, but of course it won't work if you have everything on hold position. Its quite annoying haha.

 

no... i mean a full on loss of control for a few seconds of the army. the player can pull back his units, but if he cant that sets up even better possibiliteies

 

Um Reapers can't hit air, so air wins :]

 

Lol you're just making stuff up since you want to believe so badly in that SC1 is better and SC2 sucks.

Say that to a S.W.A.T guy that uses a tactical shield. They aren't for pansies, they are for people that value their lives. BTW, did you know that the shield is an upgrade, that when researched gives a Marine +15 hp? That's BA.


Oh, in SC2 you can win by sending in a group of Reapers or 5 Zealots? Says who? You.
All units can be countered, including Zealots and Reapers.

 

A S.W.A.T guy couldn't take a gunshot to his face, which a Marine perhaps could. But remember that in starcraft, you're not getting shot with regular bullets. A Hydralisk's spine can penetrate nano-steel. See what I mean?

 

Calling The Reaper's weapons pistols is just relative. If you're in the mood of calling the Marine weapon a "rifle", or "machinegun" , then you could call them pistols. But if you knew that a Marine's petty gun actually is a 8mm C-14 Impaler Gauss Rifle, you might also know that the Reaper's petty pair of pistols actually are P-45 Scythe Gauss Pistols. They are both Gauss weapons.

 

Meaning they are more shielded.

 

I see the reapers as only usefull at the start due to their dual pistols as weapons. They are not as strong as marines, but they will be usefull for early to middle game harassment and worker killing. Other wise i see them as not too usefull

@starcraft2sucks plz don't double post, and if i was a marine i would want a shield too. What do you want... martyre marines that don't care if they die. Put it in Ahuman perspective. Would you want a shield???

@ gasmaskguy What is Gauss weaponry??? i see it in all of these future war games. is that the metal propelled by a rail of magnet???

Edit: i found out that the magnet rail is actually called a rail gun lol

2 edit: i founds the difference!!! a railgun uses electricity and magnetizes the projectile while the Gauss or coil gun just uses a ferrous metal that is attracted to magnets. Rail guns push the bullet Gauss guns pull the bullet

 

GMG I know you're genius enough to not triple post, so I'm assuming he deleted his posts.

Scythe Gauss Pistols? Wicked name.

 

Lol. I don't think he deleted his posts. I checked the members list, but I can't find him. He got the hammer.

 

...so GMG triple posts, 1000k mineral penalty lol

on a side note, marines on crack can run fast too. I say marines should get 2 upgrades, jet pack (and become a reaper) or shield for extra armor and hp

 

...

 

Mike I wouldn't see the point of that.

 

...You're spamming, Psi.

And Marines don't need jet packs, we have Reapers for that.

 

Yeah but he wants our Marines to be able to turn INTO Reapers.

 

Why not make every Terran unit a Civilian where we can load them up into things.

 

That'd be fun to do.

And fun for RPG maps.

 

that would be could to have unit that can buy upgrade or carry special item like in wc3, but because it is starcraft we can't do that

but that would be great if we can buy upgrade for specific terran unit like jetpack for medic or extra armor

 

Why? If you want armor you got Marauders, if you want jet packs you got Reapers.

 

dewd...reapers are basically for running in, base pwning, then leaving real fast. If u get enuf reapers with bombs u could prolly take out a command center in a very short amount of time. not to mention other important buildings.
