Terran is Getting Ridiculously Good

I stand corrected on the Thor.
So now is the Thor back to its original role?
Heavy support with the bombard ability

 

Zergalicious I have spent a ton of time on this site and never seen anyone say reapers can attack air besides you. So I am pretty sure it still only attacks ground. Also the Ghosts AtA attack will be negligable because I really doupt the Ghosts attack would get a bonus against air untis and the last time we heard anything the Ghost had a base attack of like 5.

So that leaves:
Marines
Vikings
Battlecruisers

So that probably translates into atleast 1 more unit with a good tA attack and another unit that can attack air even if it is not that units job. (or maybe scratch the second comment because that is the Ghost) And atleast 1 of them will probably be an air unit.

 

@ Zergalicious. Can't you see how stubborn you're being? It was proven to you, by Gasmaskguy, that Reapers cannot attack air, yet you still try to say that you're right? Saying;

is just ignorant. Would you think that the description of a Marine or Battlecruiser would exclude the fact that they can attack air units? You really need to learn to back off when you're proven wrong.
And, again, I'll repeat myself. Terran do not have all their units yet. It is obvious that they are going to get one or more units designed for Anti-Air either from the ground, air or both (one unit from ground, another unit from air). If people at scarcraft2forums.org have noticed it, I have an inkling that Blizzard might have realized.

 

With the reactor add on,i think terrain can use marine to "overnumber" small aircraft like Viking or Phoenix (Not the Banshee )

 

True, but you could say the same thing with almost anything, if you build enough Marines, you can outnumber the opposing units. Massing Marines isn't the way to go because there are so many units designed to take out swarms of small, massed units.

 

Umm.. I don't see where the confusion has arisen from but all I was saying is who knows if they'll attack air or not I don't really care if they do, I never said it was a definet thing or that I wanted it to be. I simply that judging from that small piece of info you can't be 100% sure if they can or not. I really don't see what the fuss is about.
@LordKerwyn, I originally thought the Reaper only attacked ground too, but when I started looking at sc2armory, at some point they had it down as the Reapers attacked air also. Thats all...

@Itza, yet again another waste of your time as you are picking on something which doesn't really matter and is a simple misunderstanding from your point which I have no idea how it came across to produce that kinda reaction. Plz in the future read my posts carefully.

Argh, this place isn't becoming very friendly as it was...

 

i can see that too, stop hammering people guys...just say what you wanna say...not in a flaming way =]

 

Chax, I never said they they could attack air, I actually was agreeing on that they don't and was putting some points out there why they shouldn't anyway.

 

@ Zergalicious. I didn't mean to flame, I just mean to say that if you're proven wrong, unless you can physically prove that you're right in a more recent source, don't try. You tried to say that Gasmaskguy's source didn't mean that they couldn't attack air, but you still tried to say they could.
Also, why do you keep saying/implying that I hate you? Just because two people argue about conflicting views, it doesn't mean that they hate each other. Some of my mates that I get along with best are the ones that I have a conflicting view with. I have never once said that I hate you. The one thing I actually do hate most about you, is how you keep on implying that I hate you. I don't.

 

At not one point did I activly disagree with GMG. Again, I simply said it is not 100% whether they can/will hit air or not. Also I noted that I was wrong with the Reaper as I said at some point sc2armory had it up that Reapers could hit air, a simple misunderstanding. Its nothing.
I also never said or implied you hate me in this thread. Lets stop turning every thread into this same thing ok?

 

If it's not as friendly as it once was, then it means that there is more hatred. Seeing as you said that immediately after responding to my post, that implies the hatred is coming from me.
Here are some examples from other threads as well:

Again, you suspect that I dislike you.

You label me as the person who is intent on killing all of your ideas.
So, for the last time, I do not hate you. I don't hate people for no reason. If you accuse me of hating you again, I'm going to give you a powerdown, not because I hate you, but because you're blatantly lying. I've given you a warning about it, so please, do not falsely accuse me of it or imply that I do again.

 

But if I feel that you dislike me(in what way could my feelings be a lie as its how I feel) is that a crime? I think not. Also you've strayed from the original point again. Can we just leave it as that now as I will no longer reply to anything which is connected to previous issues between me and you here..

Everyone plz continue with the topic at hand, apologies for going off topic.

 

4 pages...that not fair...my thread only get up to 2.. =[

 

My guess that it'd be much like the Goliatch's GtA attack in StarCraft original.

 

the cute megaman sig is gone anyway a new cute megaman avatar ftw!

 

^
ahah lol ty =]

let me end this thread...

sc2 will be the best game and everything will be balanced. So do not fear my friends, all races will have pros and cons =]

The End

 

I'd just like to say one final thing to Zergalicious. Thinking someone hates you when they don't, is like thinking an innocent person is guilty when they're not.
I'm happy with AcE_01's summary. Everyone though that Protoss was overpowered when we knew nothing about the other teams. Now that everyone is used to the old Protoss mechanics, they say that the new Terran mechanics look overpowered. I'm sure that a similar thing will happen with the Zerg, everyone will be used to the Protoss and Terran mechanics, but all of the new Zerg mechanics will look overpowered.
However when Zerg is released everyone will have a better judgment and we'll be able to compare all the teams as a whole, rather than comparing units like the Mothership to nonexisting Terran and Zerg teams.

 

Agreed. Its the same with newbs and sc1, before they get in deep with the game they generally say Protoss is the best and Zerg is the weakest due to the fact the nubs can't mass a capital ship with Zerg or something. Then theres the half who say Terran is the weakest since they don't have a spammable unit equivilant to a Dragoon or Hydralisk.
But I think Sc2 directly addresses skills and tactics instead of spamming the same unit.

 

No matter what unit a player spams, their opponent will be able to spam a counter. What I'd like to see is a full scale battle between a pro and a noob. There are so many more options that are open to the pro than there were before. I believe that it's entirely possible for a pro who knows what their doing to take out a noob with an army over twice the size of the pros, with relative ease.

 

i totally agree im liking that starcraft2 has no spammable units, and you must instead make several types. notice in the demo anytime he brings in a single unit type to show the new unit he gets pøwned after some initial success.
