Marine

dude that's what we was talking about, 2 rpg's can kill about 4-5 zerglings if fired right, imagine 20 rpg's vs zergling army

 

That would wipe out vast armies and they'll probably nothing to counter them.

 

make it do explosive damage so it only do half against small units.

or in the sc2 system 10 base damage and 10 bonus against armored, rpgs are mainly used against armor anyway. also splash damage does not do full damage

 

I remembered, I wonder how the game command and conquer:generals have rocket-propelled troopers that is very weak against infantry.

 

finally .. some body agrees that marines should have some kind of explosive device !

 

Well, Reapers already got explosive devises. It would be boring if ALL infantry had some kind of bombs.
So, if you want bombs and high mobility, choose Reapers, but if you want extra hp and longer range, choose Marines.

 

explosions boring? tisk tisk tisk gasmaskguy, sorry if i like my zerglings shaken up before i mow them down. Shaken not stirred.

 

one rpg per marine would be fun, unlike reaper mines they explode upon contact

 

YES! so we can ditch the idea of silly shields for the bayonet and a single use rpg /marine?
the bayonet increases damage within close range, and the rpg is antiarmor / blowing the crap out of stuff thats coming to you in a big pack,

 

imagine 20 rpgs fired in unison... (drool)

 

thats why i was pushing for this so damned hard. it takes alot for you guys to realize something would be really cool

 

<.< Then they all hit the same Zergling and you will curse your idea. Is there a different reason to get RPG than that it would be cool?

 

Cool, but imbalanced. it would have to be tweaked into a puny little bottle rocket to make it fair.
For splash Terran already got plasma torpedoes, Siege Tanks and Banshees. Its enought!
If you want to shake a Zergling, use one of those above.
It is simply not reasonable to give the most basic Terran unit a splash attack, even if it is of a single use. As I said, it would therefore be tweaked to pretty useless. Then you would be pissed of because it would not be so effective.

I am not trying to ruin your ideas, i just dont think that the Marine should serve as a anti mass or anti armor unit. That would make Siege Tanks and Cobras pretty useless.

 

a single use of a rpg that does 10 basic damage plus 10 bonus against armored with a small splash would not be imbalanced. the marine does 6 damage anyway, the prg will have slightly longer range and allow marines to do some extra damage at range before enemy closes in. if you say that's too weak and useless i would still rather have it, just for fun aspects

 

no rocket launchers, too bulky too carry around, too retarded to have them pulled out of thin air.

i say we use grenades, that one attack type that does 25% damage to buildings and heavy.

 

well a rpg is a grenade, just rocket propelled. it can be fit as part of the gun, like in the alien movies

 

Bnechbreaker- thats exactly what i was thinking of

 

what what, pray tell, do you think propels a rocket propelled grenade? short of a rocket, a gun could only lob it, which could be done by throwing it anyways

 

actually rpg is really a cheap to produce, light weight weapon, and it's effective against tanks. that's why terrorist use it.



the gun that marines are carrying is massive, there's enough room to fit a high powered "rocket" to launch the grenade

 

dude.. even bottle rockets go pretty far
