Marine

Marine is fine. If you don't like it play a different race.

 

MARINES SHOULD HAVE SPECIAL ABILITY, "CROSS FACE", USED ON SMALL DEFENSELESS UNITS. THAT WOULD MAKE THEM BADASS LIKE ME.

 

Marines should get Da Shoop.
They start chargin their lasers and then lift up their visor and Shoop Da Whoop.

 

lmao. hahah. owning. cute avatar you have there here owerup:

marine looks GOOD.

 

I'm absolutely fine with the Marine. They're the staple of Starcraft and the Terran forces, and I think they look damn good. Except maybe for those bayonets... if they don't ever use them, what's the point of having them? And lol at Chris Benoit, "CROSS FACE." That's rich.

 

Marines are ZOMGWTHBBQTECTONICCHUCKNORRISPAWNAGE
Bayonets make them seem bad@$$
Shields make them look like Riot Police/Swat Teams
Stim Packs = Drugged Up Convicts
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLE DISLIKE THEIR LOOKS!? (I know stimpacks arent apart of their looks lol)

 

Marines are fine, this thread is proof that people will complain about anything. The model looks bad, for a first person shooter, but this is an rts where there will be hundreds of marines onscreen at once not to mention theyll be like a centimeter tall.

 

In the wallpaper you can download from the SC2 site marines are using laser rifles. Ive seen nothing releated to this anywhere else so far (except some flashes on the trailer of an hydra getting shot by a laser). Maybe it was an idea that got scraped? Has anyone seen something releated to the laser guns anywhere else?

 

wow. you are correctt. i also see blue laser firing out from their guns (marines at the back). maybe those are just light and use for aiming. the wraith also have blue laser coming out from them, it should be red. i think its a target sight.

 

Well.. since there are not wraiths anymore maybe its safe to assume that the wallpaper and the lasers stuff is something old that was left aside some time ago.

 

It probably got scraped. Lasers seem kind of frail for a marine.

 

That may have been just an art aesthetic as well. The marines we have seen in actual gameplay videos so far seem to have their classic assualt rifles.

 

they aren't firing lasers, the blue glow (and blue smoke) are just to make it look cool. Besides you can see wraiths in the background and we know they aren't (as far as we know) in the game.

 

the only that i dont like is the bayonet that sticking out during the gameplay

WTF this ain't the 15th century this IS THE FUTURE were talking about

 

THIS.....IS.....STARCRAFT

NOT AGE OF THE EMPIRES

 

this is not age of empires

WTF BAYONETS ?!?!?

THIS IS STARCRAFT !!!!!

 

I actually don't like the look of bayonets, but it would cool if the marines use them.
What about laser-bayonets instead of knife?

 

The only thing I can say for the marine unit model. Lose the red bars on the arms. I know they're their for color distinction but they're useless when they wear huge ass hulking pads on their shoulders to distinguish teams. They have no real design purpose there anyway.

Other than that, make more detailed indent between joints. The armor in the cinematic was really pieced up, it was easy to see different parts of it... The unit model mostly fine except the legs, where it seems just one big block, where in the cinematic it was clearly more pronounced that they were two pieces of armor. Whereas on the unit model, it's just one piece with a line through it to show us. It just doesn't look good to me... You wouldn't notice that with the arms because they're almost always folded holding the weapon but you do with the legs. Looking at it again, its fine... but more detail can't hurt. Well I guess it can blow up your P.C but whatever.

It'd be nice to see a face in the helmet though, but that's just me. Im used to the level of detail in World In Conflict.

Mmmm... So being in the future that means bayonets are useless and irrelevant. Especially when the prime first tier units of BOTH the other races are close-combat oriented?

 

The marine looks classic to me and fine
It's good, no point making it detailed or anything, atleast they still look like marines

 

To look nice obviously. This isn't the 1990's. You can CONFIGURE graphic settings now!!! *gasp* And since this is a first for SC, atleast first MAJOR change, they should take advantage of the hardware people have.
