So, what do you think of the terran developments? Please vote for one of the answers for each of 3 questions.
The Viking is back! Good choice, on Blizzards part, I feel. It makes so much more sense. Upgrading a ground unit to air seems reasonable Air to ground seems almost a downgrade. Then again the ground form can attack ground and air. Well, this is all I wanted. Im very satisfied with these new developments. The Thor, I like that it is being kept, and the Terran need good anti-air. Fits. The Marauder...I have no preference about. Does it look the same as the Firebat? Same weapon? Do we even know?
I voted for the Viking to be in the factory, since it is a mech at the first time.. The transformation is just a bonus ability I think. I think the Thor should stay the tough basicly anti building anti ground unit, with a simple air attack. And since I don't know anything about this Marauder, I would like the Firebat back in the game.
According to Blizzard, it has almost the same skin as the Bat, but wields double grenade launchers instead of dual flame throwers. The grenade launchers slows down biological units (great vs. fast units such as Lings and Zels) and deals a little extra damage against mechanical/armored units, so it is an allround support unit IMO. You buy the Marauder in the Barracks, while the Firebat was bought in the Factory. That's just about everything we know about it.
WHAT!? Thats so unnecessary. One would be just fine...but two? Thats nuts. Well...we'll see. Back at the Barracks is nice though. The Reaper is still there as well right? Marine, Reaper, Medic, Ghost, Maruader. Thats a lot of versatility as far as the Barracks is concerned. That could be nice.
Well I have no problem with that, I love Terran and I love the Barracks, and so far that doesn't seem unfair, so then theres not much problem. Terran players are lucky. And now that in SC 2 Terran buildings move faster than 8 inches ever 12 years... I'm excited.
