    Technicly I think the Terran men are all super f***ing buff. But my guess is the suit.

    And did you mean sencered as in cursing/swearing or something else entirely?

    in the end why don`t they copy the image of the form of firebat since they already copy the form of the marine from SC1 or they don`t like the classic image of the firebat

    A lot of people don't like the look of the firebat even more then the marauder.

    I like the Marauder. It's a bigger heavier suit of armor so I don't see why people don't expect it to be beefy.

    As far as talk about it being disproportionate, you can't really say unless you see the cockpit cracked open and what sort of systems the suits use to move/fire/communicate/life support/ and so on.

    Otherwise, it's all just opinion on if you think it looks cool or not.
    Keep in mind you should have some suspension of disbelief while playing a scifi game.

    Yeah the marauder is heavy and bigger than the marine. The firebat was like a marine but heavier, bigger too. But it had a look of a marine anyway. It had nearly the same armor than the marine. But with bigger armor, that's why they didn't move as fast as the marines.

    The marauder had not teh same shape as the marine. I reproach to this unit to be fat, ugly. If it was like a firebat it would be ok.

    But you have to consider the fact that you need to identify the different units at a glance in a fast moving game. Firebats are bright red, which is very appropriate to their name.

    How would you make the marauder similar to the marine but different enough to quickly identify the difference in a fight? You could color them differently, but you'd be picking an arbitrary color.

    Rereading your post, I guess your answer would be to make them bigger but not too big. But again, thats speculative. Like at what point is a pebble large enough to be called a stone, at what point is a stone a rock, and at what point is a rock a boulder.

    The firebat was red and it was easily identifiable. What for a marauder ? Bigger I said. Why not more fat as it is now to be more identifiable.

    This unit is too fat as the Ghot was fat before. Remember how the ghost was fat and ugly, as ugly as a marauder. They redesigned this unit as they did with the hydralisk, the overlord, etc ... Agree that the ghost has 'normally' a thin shape. Now it is ok.

    About the marauder ? It must be different than the marine of course. But this unit is TOO fat again. I just don't like its shape. If they redesign this unit, make it 'fat' again, but not like it is now it would be ok.

    I hope you understand what I mean ....

    I don't see the problem, personally I like the concept of the Marauder, as well as the model. Marine's are a lot bulkier than they look; as seen in the cinematic video of the Marine being suited up. The Marauder just has an even bigger suit.

    I just think the attack animation is strange; an orange-red colored explosion on impact would look a lot more typical of the Terran opposed to the weird, purple-blue color.

    I just noticed the marauder is different from the one in the latest BR and the latest Terran gameplay footage where some marines had to destroy 4 living Statues of Zealots. They were well done in the gameplay, but not in BR4.
