post your favorite starcrafti wish the hydralisk would attack with its dangerous scythes as the back of the disc case stated (from the battle chest)
>>724692280The Battlecruiser. It remains my favorite space ship across all media. Only the original version, though. I don't like the remastered one and the less said about SC2 the better.
>>724692280knew I didn't imagine it. hydras spit but this thing said their scythes.
>>724692697Cinematic/mission artwork version too.
>>724692280>>724692785Judging from the way the appeared in the cinematics, like the Amerigo one, either that was an old conception for them, there was some poor communication, or it's just a technical reason (IIRC, SC2 has them use their claws in melee, but they also look incredibly retarded in that game).
>>724692872Someone with the right to decide everything said that hydralisks would be too similar to zerglings is my guess. The game has precedents of units having two more or less proper weapons so, unless they tried and failed to make it a ranged unit that only uses claws in melee, it was that.
My childhood dream was becoming a Goliath pilot.It was all downhill from there
>>724693004goliath, offline
When I was a kid I thought Zeratul and the Dark Templars was the coolest shit in the world.Them and the Archons. Shame about the Remaster portraits for them all
>>724693004have you become a Firebat at least?
>>724693041gave my friend shit for saying "d temps" in real life, just say dark templar. if you weren't a faggot you could type it faster
>>724692280For me, it's the Goliath. The most versatile and cool ground unit. I've always been a fan of the mechanical walker like robots.I have recurring dreams where I am flying the Terran Wraith like I'm a Hero Unit and laying waste to an entire map full of enemies. I'm bound by the games rules but when pushed into a dangerous situation things become "realistic" and I can launch a salvo of Gemini Missiles and destroy buildings with one barrage. The Burst Lasers can be shot with rapid fire and punches holes through buildings before setting them ablaze. Once, I was Locked Down and forced to abandon the Wraith and on foot I was basically a reskinned Ghost, but I didn't have access to the Lock Down or Nuclear Strike skills but kept the Cloaking. I went through the enemy base while Cloaked and slowly killed the entire army one by one.
>>724693064funny you say that, I ended up becoming a heavy machinery welder and use these stupid giant fuckoff torches on a daily basis (not exactly picrel but similar)
>>724693293heavy machinery it is! next thing you know a Goliath pilot retires and they send you as a replacement. thats just how work stuff goes, so i heard
>>724693041My man.
>>724692697
>>724692280Hydralist was my favourite SC1 unit and I always thought their attack was pure spit.Then SC2 came out and Hydra dropped from #1 slot to utter garbage, both in performance and look. A damn shame.
>>724693454rob the robot and that one sprite of beedrill
I am rather fond of my DPS babies.Small select groups doesn't deter me
he may not be the best competitively he may not have the highest damagehe may die instantly from parasiteshe may get swarmed by cheaper units but he will always be reliableand close to my heart
>>724693646SC2 looks so goddamn stupid in generalThe zerg especially should look basically like gore but they look like balloon animals, I hate it so much
>>724693680swarmlings heart of the swarm were fun, i might actually buy it to replay it
>>724692697Receiving transmission.
>>724693710Pretty much yeah, they butchered their look and feel completely.
>>724693691>he may die instantly from parasitesBroodlings. Also never realised just how thin that thing is. Sure, in game it's obvious that it's more air than mass but the art really drives that home.
zug zug...something need doing?
>>724693710>>724693849Don't forget the farting and puking noises.
>remasteredjust some protoss schmuck with shadows on his face>originalliteral Satan
>>724693885I occasionally go back to listen to SC1 race themes and Zergs music just doesn't feel right without the constant squelching and wet flesh noises.I don't even to to talk about SC2 music, it's neutered.
LIVE FOR THE SWARM!Still bullshit you could only get them in one campaign mission.
>>724693710>The zerg especially should look basically like gore but they look like balloon animalsPretty much. SC2 (like Diablo 3 which released around that time) tried to copy WoW's artstyle too much and everything looked like plastic. The only thing I liked about SC2's Zerg was how the Evo Chamber had an actual skull and spinal cord exposed when you destroyed it
>>724692280>Favorite Terran UnitSiege Tank>Favorite Protoss UnitZealot/High Templar>Favorite Zerg UnitZergling/Defiler
>>724694171Don't you have queens in The New Dominion already? Been some time and I've forgotten.
>>724694468I'm talking about the original campaign
>>724694694Yes, and mission #3 of the original Zerg campaign is called "The New Dominion". Your opponent is a Terran player.
Reaver
>>724694857You don't get queens in that mission, only the next one
>>724694920Yeah, I just checked in the editor. As I said I didn't remember because I've last replayed the campaigns like half a year ago. Strange that they didn't enable queens there considering how air-heavy that mission can be played.
>>724692280>i wish the hydralisk would attack with its dangerous scythes as the back of the disc case statedThey do in SC2 if they get engaged in melee. It's like 2x 5 damage attacks. SC2 design kinda shit tho, even the sound design.
>>724692280he had the coolest voice lines
>>724692280Hmm, I wanna play SC1. I heard the Battle.net version is free (without remastered graphics), and works well on modern systems. Is that true? Or should I hunt for the original release and fan-patches?
>YOU WANNA PIECE'A ME, BOY?The first unit you get in the whole game, and one that leaves an incredibly strong impression thanks to their really loud guns.I love these goobers.
>>724695208You should torrent the remaster
>>724695208That's is all true, yes. I recently played the free Battle.Net version for the campaigns and it was great>>724695510Only do this if you plan to still play with the original graphics. The remastered portraits are terrible
ScarabSomething about seeing dozens of them shoot out of reavers made my dick hard.Coolest thing was making a custom map with them nested in a corner and make them teleport on your mouse.
>>724692280Siege tankMutaCarrier
>>724695747>The remastered portraits are terribleAnd, if I remember correctly, you can't mod the original portraits anymore either. At least not easily like in the original. That probably doesn't matter in most cases, unless you wanted to play something like Antioch Chronicles (in all its unfinished glory), though.
>>724692280I love Zerg all together but I really love the Infested terran in SC1 even though they're useless in every aspect>>724693041>When I was a kid I thought Zeratul and the Dark Templars was the coolest shit in the worldSame anon, My user name on Neopets had "Darktemplar" in it I still think they're cool
>>724692280They are making a Starcraft miniature game.
>>724697706They're also making the frogs gay, now tell me your favorite starcraft unit
>>724697796I always liked the Zealots. Protoss in general had such a cool vibe in SC1 and even Starcraft 2 to a degree, though the legacy of the void campaign systematically dismantles and shits on anything interesting and cool about them.At least we still got this banger intro animation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_XwzBMTJaM
>>724692838How I look versus how my girlfriend sees me
>>724693710>>724693885Its absolutely insane how much better sound design SC1 has compared to 2. Each units voiceline immediately tells you by feel what the unit is for and how you should use it.
>>724697796The better question is why aren't they making a starcraft battlefield game (where you can play as any faction and as most units)As for the unit, very unoriginally it's hydra. They're just so cool. Ultras are good too, but only sc1 ones.
>>724698023For some reason Blizzard seems to be allergic to using Starcraft IP for anything these days.
>>724694034https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHjuJaqk_DUStarcraft 1 has an atmosphere fuckall games can even come close to
>>724693923I remember when they did wanted to change the eyes blue in the remaster and people were so outraged over this that Blizzard left the eyes as they are.
>>724697883Selendis a cute. I wish she was more utilized in SC2.
>>724698090Starcraft has easily the second best OST out of the classic rts games.For me it is Terran 2.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mzfnUIdzq4
>>724692785The manual also mentions that drones can shoot and defilers attack with their claws IIRC.
>>724698152#1 for me would have to be the OG Age of Empireshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llo8ckcrYgIThis shit randomly pops up in my head over 20 years later.
>>724698198Drones do have a ranged attack
>>724698350>>724698152Top 1 is Command and Conquer.C&C music is the king of rts music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4AUY-v1nsE
The only thing keeping these worker murderers balanced is the stupid damage types. But I still love them.
>>724698463Yeah I got that mixed up, they have a ranged attack in the final game but the manual says they attack with their claws.
>>724698198The defiler attack was in the game but was dummied out, along with the high templar attack, which only Tassadar kepthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtVtRTtloz4The manual also incorrectly stated that the Queen has the glaive wurm attack which the Mutalisk got. The sound files of the Spire and the Defiler Mound buildings are also switched on an error and never got fixed.
>>724700397Interesting stuff. Too bad they didn't put a "hero" defiler with that attack in the map editor like they did with tassadar.
>>724692809https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nplefywEFI
>>724697706Zerg looked so weird and unique in SC1. They lost all of that identity and look like actual discount Tyranids in SC2.
>>724700397IIRC from digging around in the data queen does have an unused attack but it lacks something, probably the visuals and the weapon icon.
>>724700875In the original they are basically Giger's alien but with a more complex society, if it can be called that.
>>724699738>I read ya..."sir"

>>724693923I liked when the protoss looked like they had different races
