Snipers

one could hope.

 

Hehe, all this talk of snipers keeps reminding me of this

hahaha

 

Speaking of ghosts, I would love it if they had a faster rate of fire. As they are like black ops/delta force/rangers/etc... units it would be cool if they had a silenced semi automatic gauss rifle. So basically, one shot at a time but a much faster cooldown than they have now.

 

that would be nice

 

And make so much more sense since it clearly isn't a sniper.

 

and if it was a sniper, it really should be something other than bolt action. i mean come on here we are 500 years in the future and they are still using bolt action...

 

Yeah I always thought it was dumb how slow they shot.

 

Well they're still using projectile based weaponry on ground troops in spite of having "perfected" laser based weaponry.

Anyhow, I like these ideas about Terran Snipers/Assassins. Maybe have them as ground only attack units? (with range duh) assassinating small ground infantry units, to shooting out a Siege Tank, to killing an Ultralisk. (the amount of supply needed to create the unit, should determine the amount of shots it takes to kill the unit. (which is still less then using a high damage conventional unit)

The only ground unit that will probably be immune would be the Protoss Reaver (which is of course robotic (although as it has been said, the destruction of the CPU should be sufficient to disable it))

 

They haven't perfected laser weaponry.

This is a good idea. Having it attack air would be dumb.

The Colossus is also robotic.

 

I stated earlier that it would have a reduced damage against non-personal type units so they wouldn't use it to counter tanks. Honestly, who sends a Sniper to deal with tanks? Ground infantry yes, Ultralisk hell yes. And about the cooldown....It makes me wonder if your read the whole thread?
