    Sorry it just gets annoying sometimes. But I'll remember that in the future, although I tried to tell him to stop as I knew that would end up coming at him.

    It's no skin of my nose. Zergalicious can swear at me all he wants, it doesn't mean he's right.

    I'm not trying to be right, just passing on some ideas ;] and the whole point of that is to let them turn into something useful but you stopped it from happening with constant bombardment.

    Just passing on ideas does not require any anger or swearing.
    And do you mean let them turn into something useful like your shotgun idea? I have told you what's wrong with that one. Let it go. If you're willing to suggest other ideas, then, by all means, go ahead. I'll still comment on them, but keep in mind I'm not just shouting down your ideas because they're coming out of your mouth. I dunno why you think that I would. I'll comment on any ideas you've got 100% truthfully. If you disagree with what I have to say then tell me why. Again, if you want me to stop arguing then prove me wrong. If you prove that I'm wrong, then why would I keep arguing?

    What requires the anger and swearing is your obvious and constant tendency to argue over set points, not even the main issue. Also just because you think an idea isn't useful doesn't mean it won't be. Its an opinion and if yours can't be changed then so be it. I'll live life.
    Also I have never disagreed on anything you said, you disagreed with everything I have said and I simply reinforced my ideas and at the same time developed them.
    But I really think its time to shift the convo from this debate/argument whatever you want to call it to something on topic as my aim was to show everyone that Terran CAN have technology other than bullets and lasers are not that hi-tech and I think I have done that.

    Let's just give some marine's light sabers...then we get energy weapons and melee/short-range covered :-D

    Ok but seriously...I used to think that the terrans needed more "futuristic" weapons...but, I've changed my stance. Look at marine's rifles...they aren't glorified M16's or anything...they are accelerating depleted uranium slugs...that's pretty hightech...not to mention the other things posted by l2k. Also...what about the siege tank in siege mode? That's awefully "futuristic" to me...as well as the behavior conditioning they put Ghosts through to focus their psionic energy. Just the fact that they are in deep space and are capable of inter-planetary travel is huge enough imo...

    There's plenty there to make them futuristic enough. If you give them too many laser's and such, it will turn it into some joke of a 1980's scifi movie. I love the terrans exactly how they are. Let the protoss keep the lasers and odd future-y weapons.

    Zergalicious...you have some good ideas, and I like the video's you've posted, but don't take the other's disagreements so personally. If you're continuing a previous debate or disagreement (which you state in your very first post), people are certainly going to continue to express their differing point as well =) I like your ideas though...

    I dont understand if the problem you have is with terran game play or aesthetics. You might not like how units look and i cant really argue that you should or shouldnt. But if you are talking about the game play they are getting many unbelievably powerful abilities like the sensor towers ability to see units in fog of war. I believe the terrans will be much like in the original where they have a bunch of specialists and powerful abilities.

    ha?

    anyway, i like to see a weapon similar to this for the terran. reapers?

    its from the movie demolition man. this is the type of weapon i always wanted for the reapers or maybe some other terran units, well not exactly but something like this.

    i dont see why its not possible? i think one reason why blizzard choose pistols, grenade launchers, etc... because weapons like this one i suggested would mess up the gameplay. =\

    but the firebat attack projectile was ok, and since their gone im hoping the terran will get something like this.

    wait or forward to the middle part of the movie clip.

    not the initial attack but the electrical attack. but im thinking a weapon that fires a short burst of that with a long cooldown instead.

    while i was watching i was imagining a terran unit with an ice attack. how cool is that. you can freeze advanceing zerglings temporarily and then shoot them until the ice shatters. just imagine the visuals and effects of that be like. 8)

    the unit name would be the terran icebat. ^^

    maybe as an ability but they wouldnt get a freeze weapon like that as a main attack. It would be cool tho if it was a missle type deal you could call down, and then everything frozen took more damage.
