STIM?

Think Stim pack still will be availible?

Cause in BW aint much stopped em when you had an medic along.

Well im aint counting nuke or massive reaver attack

 

i don't recall them using it in the demos but i wouldn't be surprised if it returned it made the marines very deadly in large groups.

 

... there is a WHOLE LOT MORE things that can kill it even WITH a medic. ultras ... reavers ... science vessel's irridiate ... lurkers ... come to think of it A LOT of things can kill it. even if it's a mass of weak units like zerglings just micro it.

 

Ultras, as in ultralisks?

They die far to fast in the orginal game, tohu in brood war with uppgraded carpaces, thet do pretty fine.

 

holy crap i just realized...unlimited unit selection+stim packs+marines+medics = pwnage

 

but there will SURELY be better counters for that. but i haven't yet seen medics in the demos. they are coming back fo shizzle right?

 

I would think so...it's not like a combat unit that would necessarily not fit due to the omission or addition of a unit from SC1

unless the shields will replace them, in which case...ghey

 

If you stimed all your marines all the once in the battlefield, then the medics probably won't be able to heal all of them in time, so half of the marines might probably ended up quickly. Or otherwise you'll prolly need a 4:3 marine to medic ratio to sustain their health quick enough.

 

Yep yer probably right about the Medic to Marine ratio...

Stims may return... how knows? As for Medics, I'm doubtful, the story about Terrans is probably gonna focus more on The Terran Dominion than the UED, So I guess you'll probably won't see Medics make a comeback, maybe not until a sequel? :good:

 

Lots of things could kill stimed marines with medics around to heal them. Like siege tanks, firebats, lots of zealots, lots of dragoons, psi storm, lots of hydras, plague, spider mines, etc...
I'm sure they will still have medics. It's not like they'll say, "Well, those were useful. Goodbye."

 

Why wouldn't they bring medics back in? Just cuz they're not UED anymore? Hell, i was surpirsed they didn't have em in the 1st one. Its not like there's a meeting in blizzard going: "Hey dude, we definitely gotta bring back medics." "F**k no! They came with the UED!" "But dude, they're one of the best units the Terrans have." "NO! Medics came from Earth, and we can't give the Dominion any medics!" "Your mom..."

 

Wasn't the Terran Dominion obliterated by the UED? I'm sure Medics will make a comeback as they are now a pivotal part of StarCraft history.

 

The Dominion was obliterated by the UED and the Zerg.
But they ran away.

 

*tssss* ahhhhhh yeah!!!

 

The one in the center has stim overdosed:

 

I don't really think Medics were a pivotal part of SC history. They were there for a short period of time when the UED came. Stim packs; however, should be back cause marines need their shot of stim and its been there forever and its pretty unique too.

I think medics will be back also but definetly a bit modified from the UED medics. I mean terrans adapt somewhat too, eh? Those damn conservative terrans.

 

Uhh I hope not... Marine was the only unit versatile enough to be useful against zerg the entiiiiire game. I really want to see something a bit more different than zergling/ultras or lurkers backed up by swarm just to kill a group of marines.

 

oh jeez remind me to transcribe the description of stim packs from the manual when I get home, it's hilarious

 

you mean... this?

"Used by Marines and Firebats. Stim Packs are a concentrated dose of synthetic adrenalin and painkillers that allow Firebats and Marines to move faster and fire at a faster rate. The drawback is that using a Stim Pack causes an immediate 10 points of damage to the unit that cannot be prevented. Using multiple Stim Packs does not give any additional bonus, but will cause the unit to take more damage. Stim Packs are not a permanent effect. They last for a few seconds, then the Marine or Firebat reverts back to its normal state. Wait until the first one wears off before using another. Once the Marine or Firebat's hit points are 10 or below, they cannot use another Stim Pack as it would kill them."

 

no, i forgot to do it yesterday, I'll email myself as a reminder and post later tonight
