    Ahh I did always love what the units said when you clicked on them again and again and again... Made me look like a fool doing it though!!

    Anyhoo, anyone got any ideas on what sort of jokes Blizzard will put into SC2 unit speech?
    Any witty one-liners?

    There should probably be some references to SC1, but I just hope they don't get rid of the humourous side for the sake of "atmosphere"...
    And SC2 deserves some new speech anyway! =)

    Wow, that's amazing, I was thinking of a new topic that I could post, and this was EXACTLY it.

    I hope they don't make many references to WoW, as I do not play it and refuse to play it

    (I actually refuse to play RPGs or MMORPGs because of their inherently addictive nature...the way I see it is, if I am THIS addicted to games like CS and RTSs, with specific start and stops in them, neverending RPGs would turn me into a hermit...it would be like telling someone with an addictive personality to smoke crack)

    MY FAVORITE of all time is Demon Hunter from Warcraft 3

    "Darkness called… But I was on the phone, so I missed him. I tried to *69 Darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled "PICK UP THE PHONE, DARKNESS!", but he ignored me. Darkness must have been screening his calls..."

    and then the Dreadlord's thing linked up with it

    *RING* "Darkness! What's up? The Demon Hunter left you a message? No, I don't have his number."

    oh and of course, the two headed ogre:
    *FART* He did it, no HE did it!

    Dwarf 1: We must defeat the dwarves!
    Dwarf 2: We are the dwarves.
    Dwarf 1: Oh.

    they should put something in there about life in jail for marines...considering they are just convicts put into big exo-suits...maybe something like the footmen in WC3 when they go "Don't ask, don't tell."

    @ Major Willy - Hahaha... that would be actually quite funny... Although maybe too crude for a T rated game...

    @ Nikzad ooh that's a pretty nice idea, and it would be quite infitting with the game. would also kinda add to the character of the marine as a person inside the suit quite alot too...

    @ Coalecence... lmao... what can be added to that?

    I got a feeling blizzard will have something nice for die hard fans too, with references to 2D SC1. I hope they also keep up a great standard of voice acting... Especially considering SC1's quality.

    Luke remember the Vulture cusses?

    As long as Blizzard doesn't explain it fully with the click it should be fine.
    Hopefully.

    They need to keep the movie quotes.....I cracked up when I heard the 'bat's "I love the smell of napalm." The Protoss's were nice, but most of them too serious. But yeah, the movie quotes are the best, and when they make a play on accents.

    the colossus should be like "DIE TERRANS! DIE DIE DIE!! OH NO! Bacteria!!"

    (reference to War of the Worlds, from which I think Blizzard borrowed a bit heavily for this unit)

    Hehe nice idea! but since the colossi don't seem to speak in-game, perhaps that "Moooooo" (or whatever it is xD) sound the Tripods make in the movie would fit better :p

    Funny they never made a link between ghosts and the ghost busters in the speeches.

    yes obviously the collosus looks like the alien machines in war of the worlds.

    dont collosus have drivers on it or someone controlling it? i hope they have, so their units frame will not be boring (like observers etc), and so that there are speech for this cool unit.

    the terran marine should keep "you wanna piece of me boy" speech after they are trained.

    carrier speech is one of the coolest in sc1. carrier has arrived. your command!
    i hope the mothership sounds like the carrier, and the speech is not of a woman (even its called a MOTHERship).
