Reapers

Oh well, they got by somehow, i own a cat but it doesnt count as hes to lazy to move, you can throw stuff at him and he wont even flinch

 

Ask him where he lost is animal instinct.



If he answers, seek help. Immediately.

 

LOL, nice one

 

I try my best.
:good:

EDIT: Oh. I'm a hero. Whaddya know.

 

lol niceeee

 

Ya, like total wootage. Course, I'm worried that the Tina and John threads will get killed, and these posts will get killed, and I'll lose the posts and the massive amount of minerals.

 

id give all my posts to get rid of these two

 

Pff, I wouldn't. I actually think it's pretty funny.

 

lol

 

Christ people get really off topic when i go to sleep.

anyways, I think reaper/marine raids will be good. marines go in the front and distract while reapers go in the back and kill the workers.

 

I would actually use them more for scouting and routing.

 

yea scouting is good

 

reapers with medic kits would be tight

 

Na, it completely eliminates the purpose of the reaper.

If theyre cheap id just use them to nag the opponent to death and to scout. Id just keep attacking the back of his base like mad, like 5 raids of 5 reapers every , what? 10 minutes.

 

I think it'd be the perfect scout. Moving fast as a Marine, but jumping up and down.

 

Yea. The only problem would be crossing damned rivers, unless they can do that too, that would just be too awsome.

 

I actually think they will be able to attack air before they get their flamethrower upgrade. It wouldn't make sense to have two different types of attacks and have both of them be ground only.

One could argue that they can only attack ground as they have two different types of damage to choose from. Normal pistol damage against large ground targets, and concussive flame damage against small ground targets.

I find that argument compelling but I'm not too sure about reapers stand point anyway. The marine and medic combo can handle large, small, air, and ground targets just as well as anything. The only thing they had to worry about was what damage could be done to them, concussive and large splash damage was their undoing. So, I would say that reapers can attack air units until they get their flame thrower upgrade because they still need to compete with marines for infantry usefulness.

And actually, in writing this I thought of another reason why reapers might be able to attack air. They are base raiders. What good is a base raider if they can be stopped by a group of five air units every single time? Early game raids... and that would be the entire purpose for the reaper since we still have marines and medics.

I think, anyway. I could still be completely wrong.

 

It wouldn't be surprising if they can't target air and they are still working on balance so it's subject to change.

 

FOr all the guys earlier talking about how humans survived: ITS SIMPLE. We built the space platforms, I meen come on, its a frekkin multiplayer map type I don't see any flying creep or giant golden halways, if some thing can build a multiplayer map type it deserves to survive cougar and bear attacks with clubs.

 

Well reavers in shuttles are late game base raiders and they can't attack air. Also what good is a marine if the reaper does everything it does AND jumps around with a jetpack? Plus they didn't attack the phase prism in the demo video.
