Maruader is ugly and needs to lose some weight

From the moment when I first saw the marauder, I hated it because it is so big and bulky for a infantry unit. I think it would be alot better if they just got a marine model, and give him a grenade pouch and a grenade launcher.

Please read my post here:

does that mean you hate the look of firebats in the campaigne too?

 

indeed i do, i mean if you look at SC1, the firebat is still roughly the same size as the marine. Here is a somewhat size comparison:

 

Actually, I do despite the firebat model. Kinda. But seeing as it's not in Multi-player I might as well live with it. I'm uncertain about the maruader model though. His HP could use a little nerfing though. I think. Not sure.

 

I just hate the way that missile comes out from his hand, and the explosion looks so bloody ugly.

This unit is about 3 times more HP than Marine, it should looks like a battle robot and give it a plasma cannon like the XV8 crisis battle suit in warhammer 40K

also... hellion's flame...... doesn't look good, pretty stupid and the car is too small, looks like a kid car

btw did they remove that stupi blade from marine's gun?

 

I like the marauder model a lot, it looks right imo. Hopefully they will remodel the firebat because i think it looks terrible..

 

Neoravenloft, the bayonette is still in the game... the recent footages just didn't have it researched.

RH, the firebat has the exact same model as the marauder, so I don't know how you can be fine with one but not the other. The only difference is the skin on the model, nothing else.

 

I admit the attack animation is kinda clunky... but I do like its skin. Its good to have bulky infantry for a change imo
Its a good contrast with the more 'agile' reaper

 

Neo, please dont triple post there an edit button for a reason, and there is no plasma tech availbe to terrains. They are not tau, so get over it. And the maruader is right for his size, he is supposed to be a heavy inf unit cappable of taking down large war machines, he isn't going to the size of a marine.

 

The firebat should have stayed the same as the firebat looks like a maurader with a flamethrower which clearly isn't right. However the maurader as its own model is to me very well done, Blizzard was trying to add new units so why not a new look? Why not a heftier unit? Especially considering the unit is launching missles, I don't think the marine is big enough to carry out that task >.<

 

Nice pic from the failed SC ghost that totally didnt bomb and the maurder is kindof lame they need to make it quicker but i dont know about grenands

 

why would they have to make it quicker? Its a guy in a very large suit of armor, he is going to be slow, not greased lighting. And what the hell are you going about with grenades?

 

well give it a big big chain gun or cannon then... and give it a better explosive animation

a missile hits other unit but coz such small effect just..... a bit..... weird.....

 

Well it doesnt shoot missles actually

Concusion Granade

its bulky coz it needs more power to drag around heavier frame (assult suit, hence more hp) and lotsa nades.
Marine with diffrent weapon would look stupid and out of place (not to mention one coul easily mistake them )

 

are u guys crazy? i love the marauder

 

Im much more concerned with the firebats size than the marauders.

 

The Marauders are so fantastic looking, and I'd be really disappointed if it was slimmed down.

It's what? The size of a dragoon?

Terran have never had infantry this big, and it's a welcome change.

 

I also like the look of the marauder and also to point out the only thing jonX dident like about it is that units turn blue when hit by gernades. Also the animation for the gernade should probly go back to just one alternating between both hands.

 

Personaly i love how it looks and how it moves. I started making marauders at one point just so i could move them around. I also see no problem with its attack animation.

 

Did maruaders get nerfed it seems their attack did.

Also I think people like jonX and others don"t like the fact that they turn units blue when they hit them.
