Marine

lol. a laser would be beneficial if blizzard has made marines to miss by chances.

 

Jesus, you guys really over-analyze the most miniscule of things on this forum.

It's a bloody lighting effect to make it seem more moody. If it was all red n' shiz it wouldn't be as dark and depressing. Given all the intelligent remarks i've witnessed throughout this forum you'd think you'd guys recognize something as simple as that. My god.

 

It's just that we're so desperate for this game that people come up with speculations and conspiracies that will likely never happen.

 

What? That doesn't make sense we aren't sassing at Starcraft or anything. We just want to know what the community is thinking and cool ideas for marines.

 

I would like my humans to shoot bullets, leave the lazers to the toss.

 

Sorry if there are topics discusing this
BUT i think that the marine is a siting seep for everything,even for terran weapons(banshe, plasma torbedos.etc).
They dont stand a chance even 2 or 3 to 1 against the zealots via charge ability.
i think the marine needs a hp or armor upgrade or something to not make it so vurnerable to every thing.

 

What's this have to do with Protoss Units and Structures lol?

And no, Terran aren't "Sheep-like" whatever the hell that means, they're fine how they are.

 

They do have the shield upgrade that gives it additional HP. Also, if you remember even back in SC1, they weren't all that useful/armored either. U could almost never use them individually or anything. I think they're just for earlier game, or front line defense for the massive units that are behind them.

 

......The shield, Stim-Packs, low cost, 1 food, range upgrade, Medics, only starting unit to attack both ground and air at range? Do any of these mean anything to you?

 

my bad on the Toss units and structures, i was in a hurry, i thought i was in the terrran section
my idea was that the marines are raped even more than in sc1

 

How about bunkers?? There's no marine vs.zealoths that ends up well, unless the Zealoths are grossly outnumbered.

 

unless the Zealoths are grossly outnumberd and nerfd and in the marines are on hi ground, im just joking but the marine could use just a little hp up beside the shieald

 

Why? Terran have always been the middle ground. Zerg have always been weak, but cheap. Protoss, overwhelmingly strong one on one, but ridiculously expensive. Marines are better than a Zergling, but weaker than a Zealot (Not Zealoths....I don't get how you mixed that up ???)

 

In the first Starcraft a group of well mixed marines, firebats, and medics could easily decimate a Protoss attack force of Zealots AND Dragoons, same against Zerg and with zerglings, used properly they can be a force to be reckoned with.

 

But never marines alone, lol! Marines + medics + firebats are meant to be owned by hidralisks! If you manage to kill their first marine with your first 2 lings early on (relies on finding the enemy base fast enough), they have to bunker themselves to defend from hydras when they arrive. Hydras own them on the field, because on enough numbers they kill faster than medics heal. ;-)

 

If you think Marines are getting raped a lot, wait for the Zerg footage. It's the same principal just more of them... so pretty much nothing has changed.

 

yes, marines > ratatatatata

protoss > pew pew pew

 

Agreed.

 

let the protoss keep their fancy laserweaponrys, led and explosives iz da shit. 8)

 

But they removed the emblem that was there before.

I also have a feeling they did some other work on the marine look, it looks very good right now imo.
