Viking

that was a very offensive use of the word "retard" LightMare. You have clearly never worked with developmentally chalenged people. :bad:

 

lightmare, at least be innovative with your curses, like; lightmare, just the sight of you makes children get nightmares

 

I just want to ask if somebody of can say, if what is the viking's ability in Starcraft 2?

PEACE :thumbup:

 

Maybe the pilot ate too much bean... lol Just kidding.
I think it is the missiles thruster.

 

i think we're all finished with this thread*kicks thread in the nuts*

war
:thumbup: :thumbup:

 

A very offensive word but if you're trying to joke around i guess that's O.K but seriously dont start calling us retards next time or this thread will become a....

war

 

ah confusion and missiles a winning combination.

 

1. We have no idea how PvT will turn out, i still think that a barracks/merc heaven might be just as viable as a factory tech.

Having reapers will be too usefull to pass on,furthermore, i think M&M > stalkers. Also marines will be the meatshields of terrans untill you make Thors, so having them from the start to rush/defend/expand is not a bad thing, remember you can make several barracks and bunker push early on and just sell the buildings later on if you're not using them.

Also, no vultures means terrans might have some problems with zealots, so a bunch of marines might help a little in that department.

As for the viking, he's the goliath, but its strenght is its versatility not its stats. Cobras+tanks will be the damage dealers. Dont forget you cant mass up only 1-2 units in SC2, i believe that you'll need air units just as much.

 

The amount dealt by the vikings looks like its only good for units(even siege tank actually before they turn to siege mode),might be weak against base defense.
The vultures might be replaced by cobras,they do resemble vulture in such a way that they look the same.....

 

personally, I like the high rate of fire with low damage. But either i think that the "bursts" should be longer, or that it does stop every once in a while to reload. <--- but then again, ammo isn't really a major concern in these games is it?

 

They just want it to look realistic for a mobile robot tank to reload than to spray bullets at enemies...they should really have a huge damage count since they have dual gun.

 

/\ they also don't want it to be unbalanced. it can't do too much damage.

 

freaking game designer....!^%#$%*
At this rate vikings are gonna be cheaper than siege tanks...probably(I don't like to make certainty over something that isn't certain yet).

 

Vikings should definitely be very cheap. Although they are a cool unit,they aren't very strong in terms of stats. They are however the only unit that can be built with a Nuc. Reactor for mass production. They need to be cheap so they can be massed and used in different situations.

 

i saw/heard that the viking costs like half an siege tank, i have heard it cost 50 gas but hey it could be changed/ a lie

 

just 50 gas?Thats ridiculously cheap for a mobile robot unit but it might be a true...

 

Well the Goliath was 50 gas, and hell the vulture was only 75 mins.

 

likes see how much cobra is...looks like the vulture,though.

 

Well they are both meant for similar roles of being fast mobile units to take care of trouble spots

 

hopefully the cobras are good with minor ground units and is it already revealed that they can lay mines too?
