New banshee model? dual side boosters ftw!

To clear up some confusion some people seem to have:

Those pictures are NOT Blizzard's redesign of the Banshee. They are a fan's photo-shopped idea of how the Banshee should look.

Zeratul11 - might want to put that in your post so more people don't get confused.

 

Wow! That is obviously fake. I'm not sure where you got it from, but I can see the white marks where the photo was cut out and it looks very sharp around that area.

 

interesting, i only took a glance, i didnt get to read it all and i even bought into it too...

 

sure.

ok photoshop or not just imagine blizzard giving the banshee dual side booster instead, how cool looking would that be. ^^

 

it looks alright...
but i dont really care.i like both the looks...so either way im happy =]

 

^ cute megaman avatar. i think its from a psp megaman game cover. ^^

 

i thik it is too...lol. d00d where that hot girl in ya sig? lol

 

shes gone.

but not to worry, you just gave me an idea. i will make a new sig with a very hot girl(one of my fave) instead, i was actually planning to make a new sc2 sig... but not anymore. ^^

 

mad! is it gna be Boa Kwok?
she makes me go crazy...lol

 

Uhh... again, try to stay on focus, unless you want to take about hot girls in sigs, then in which case i suggest making a seperate thread for that discussion.

Considering the things about the side boosters, I would rather have the fans. First of all, many other starcraft units had boosters (battlecruiser, wraith, scout, corsair etc) so the fans would be something new to the mix that adds variety. It's nice to have a helicopter unit in starcraft instead of the ussual jet plane type unit. The side fans also give it a sence of terran. Even though the terrans do have jet plane things, we use helicopters today and it just seems natural to have a helicopter unit.

 

They must have some kind of seconary boosters tho, because roters that small wouldn't lift a heavy metal craft into the air, especially if it has lots of missles.

 

you mean boa kwon? the korean singer? i love some of her songs but she doesn't really drives me crazy.

its aki hoshino. the angel of japan. ;D

back on topic. the fans looks less sci fi, weak and boring IMO. i dont know how to explain it but it just looks and feel like that compared to the sizzling hot dual turbo engines. ^^

 

Hey guys, I haven't really read through all the opinions so I won't make a strong remark . . . I just want to say after looking at the two pictures, the two banshees look the same . . . the only thing that appears to be different to me is one has fire coming out of the propellors, or in this case the jet engines.

 

We already came to that conclusion

 

I like the propellers. It just has a better feel to it. Every air unit(zerg excluded) are powered by jets or thrusters or something of the like. The rotors make the banshee unique.

Plus, the banshee is my favorite unit so far. Although I would really like to see the AoE random bombing attack come back, but that's not the subject in this thread...

 

thats all right. you can talk about anything as long as it is related to the banshee.

since they already changed the attack of the banshee it would be great to give it dual booster engine instead. ^^

wait for my improvised screenshot version of banshee with the dual engines and new single attack projectile. i'll try to make it look good in game compared to the current one.

 

Yeah both ways are fine with me.

 

Too many thrusters.

The bladed Banshee adds a nice twist to the Terran air.

 

i like it with the blades. it kinda seems like an apache and apaches are awsome

 

I like the one with rotors because the way th jets were drawn they look too clunky like they were an afterthought (because they are)
