True Hovering Units?

Realistically speaking, I don't think a hovering machine can rise that high.

 

well u could always float (certain units only) across (u guys kno how to do the float glitch/trick right?)

 

i think to make the game realtic there would be certain cliffs that the units can go down but not up, for example with the bats tha have jet packs if a moutain is 2 steep they cant get bak up. it would be prtty funny to see them all get stuck somewhere.

 

Just for laughs and speaking of hovering I wonder if Blizzard will finally fix the drone floating glitch seeing as every time they try to fix it in the original people just found another way to do it.

 

Imagine a swarm of Zerglings running down a very steep cliff into total oblivion like lemmings. I'd totally do that and film it and put it on Youtube if they implemented it.

 

I picture a small group of Vultures rocketing off a cliff at full speed, not slowing a bit as they hit ground level. I see and SCV dropping from the safety of its elevated base to mine some minerals, before slowly hovering back up to return them.

And Zerglings? They have wings now, so they might well survive a leap from a cliff. I imagine the stampede scene from The Lion King, where all of those ...wildebeests... or whatever they were, just run straight down the cliff without hesitation. Good scary stuff!

 

I can imagine Starcraft 3 in which Hydras have also evolved some wings, and Zerglings became full-fledged flyers. Now THAT's scary!!!

 

Why? In every game (including starcraft) humans are considered physically weaker than ANY alien species. Having meelee attacks which have the same power as their machine guns completely ignores the fact that terrans are weak but highly mobile.

 

Just had a thought: Imagine if the marines threw their guns aside when attacked by Zerglings/Zealots and decide to start throwing punches

 

Btw. If hovering units can go both over water AND cliff as someone mentions it will mean that theres no different between hovering and flying.

 

That's why I said that hovering units can't really go that high, maybe down cliffs but they certainly wouldn't be able to get back up.

 

So they would be stuck if they were above water unless theres a ramp (or a shore system as in wc III)

 

Have you guys seen the game battle realms? The archers there would change to kicking enemies when they are close... maybe blizzard can do something like this but better!

 

Have none of actually noticed the bayonet on the Marine's gun? All this talk of punching and kicking is not very Starcraft-like.

 

Yeah, but the difference;
Bow and arrow takes time to reload and isnt effective short distance.
A full automatic gauss rifle just keeps on pumping no matter what (only the blood spatter could be annoying )

 

I just think it'd be funny

 

Or maybe they can get back up, or cross water, but it takes like 8x as long. They would be strongly effected by the terrain, like ground units, but ultimately capable of moving over it, like air units. Unlike air units, they wouldn't be able to freely move over the terrain.

I'd also like to see full ground units capable of scaling cliffs at a reduced rate. Ghosts, Dark Templar, and Zerglings would make good candidates, as they are small units, presumably strong and flexible enough to work their way up a sheer cliff if given enough time.

 

Or maybe just make it so that they can go over spider mines without setting them off and forget all the cliffs and jazz?

 

Unless they make mines with an upwards-facing sonar that alerts them to hovering movement and makes the mine jump up and detonate on impact.

 

Then there is absolutely no reason to have hovering units and the 'toss should just throw all their Archons into a tank.
