The life of a marine.

[Darkmatter]

Well, they cut Lester and Sarge up in the Terran CG Sequence. They slapped Phoenix around enough to get him into a Dragoon. So those claws must do 40 damage or so.

 

[Zerglite]

not really.. about 10 hydras coulda killed fenix ( you spelled it wrong )

and how are you sure that hydras killed him in the first place?

 

[Darkmatter]

Well, he was surrounded by them in Antioc or wherever that CG took placxe on the original Protoss Campaign. He was gonna slice em up but his psi-blades ran out of energy, and they supposidly mauled him or shot spines into his arms and legs to the point where he could only serve Auir as a Dragoon.

 

[Zerglite]

no... dead zlots are revived as goons



though i dont see why later on he said " i can still serve Auir to an extent "..

and EXTENT?

he was more badass as a goon than a Zlot

[glow=green]LOL, Ummm...... Whats the difference for marines now. Most military people come from poverty stricken areas. Most are already criminals, but, they see this as a way to get out of their present situation. I am speaking from experience too.

I would however be affraid of some some E.T. combat, but would be affraid of my sargent more.[/glow]

 

[Darkmatter]

Lol. I wonder what the punishment is for being bad while being a marine. No spongebaths from the local medical corp? Whipping? Hmm.

Why would you be more afraid of your Sargent? Seriously, what punishments ARE there in todays millitary?

 

[CruelJustice]

I really like the idea that they were all condemned criminals used to fight on ground frontal. It makes so much sense! Why do you think the admiral doesn't care if they live or die?

Sometimes I think a closer perspective of their lives are somewhat like Unreal Tournament. They are in big beefy suits of armour and shooting 100lb machine guns like crazy and making chunks of meat fly all over. That's some crazy stuff!

 

[munchyman]

Crazy yes......awesome HELL YES. id love to pwn some zerglings with my gun that fires ****ing metal SPIKES at insane rates. (read the sc info booklet for more insight)

Fenix's psi blade ran out of energy right when he needed it most. Everything requires energy for movement. I am guessing that hydralisks make spikes out of minerals in their bodies, the same way that humans use calcium to make teeth. The when the hydralisk runs out of minerals it has to eat, to regain what it lost.

 

[Darkmatter]

I guess that makes sense. We can qassume the creep regenerates their HP as well as a small amount of minerals too. This way it makes more sense in-game for the most part.

that would be totally unfair

then the zerg could just stay in their base with about 100 buried hydras, and when you send in units, unburrow and boom all dead

then they heal, then repeat the process

 

[dP]

Marines are just dumbasses being tricked to join the army.

 

[Darkmatter]

It wouldn't be unfair, because Zerg were born imbalanced. dP, we all know that, but it makes me wonder where they get the Siege Tank Operators and the Goliath Pilots and whatnot. Are they higher-up criminals or respected individuals in their field?

 

[TrongaMonga]

By that time, everything's controled by computer. They just need a human there so Queens can broodling it, and balance the game.

Or so.

 

[Darkmatter]

....Broodlings spew out, only to be eradicated by Siege Tank Fire. Besides, if they had robots for their race, rthey wouldn't be Terrans.

 

[AZN_FLEA]

marines are treaed bad and shit but they are surprisingly usefell

 

[Darkmatter]

Duh. There's so many convicts!

 

[Firebat]

omg i would so like to be out there as a marine, feeling the adrenaline rush and the constant fear of being teared apart by a hydra!! daaang!!!!

i get that feeling sometimes when im playing cs and im the only one alive. tihihihi silly me

 

[Laharl]

... Hydras don't spit, they shoot spines...
