They really made firebats crap. I've seen mods that change just a tiny tiny thing and suddenly they're useful. At least their mission is more fun than the marauder one, in my opinion.FoolyCharged posted:Also it's funny how I also noticed the filled out computer screen and had a completely different reaction.

Qwertycoatl posted:I don't know if I missed it or if it's explained later or if it's just a mystery, but why is Tychus forced to wear power armour all the time?

Tenebrais posted:Matt saying that "apparently" Kerrigan was different before the Zerg took her is a weird line. Even in the actual canon behind him (and not him being an obvious stand-in for the magistrate) he was in the Sons of Korhal before Raynor was, surely he must have at least known about Mengsk's most elite operative.

Mercenaries are really good. The units are significantly more powerful than the regular ones. If you want a more compelling argument the youtuber/twitch streamer GiantGrantGames uses them all the time and he enjoys playing the Nightmare Difficulty mod because he finds regular brutal too easy at times.

Another huge issue with firebats is that they have a delay between reaching an enemy and actually firing which makes them hardly able to damage anything. I don't remember if it's 0.5 seconds which doesn't sound much but it is for every enemy so they mostly just walk up and stare at foes. Speaking of fitting a huge apc in a tiny ship, there is a real scale mod which changes the size, and relative strength, of everything to be more accurate. When the Hyperion shows up to rescue you a couple of missions past it doesn't even fit on the map. Do not send marines at ultralisks.

Doing this mission with siege tanks is pretty easy. Also you can float a barracks up on the ledge just south of the west base entrance, in case you want to put a few marines there who can't be hit by anything. It might not be worth it but at least the option is there.

The planetary fortress is very powerful with tons of health and lots of damage. I've watched youtubers basically go that the choice is so slanted towards the PF over the perdition turret that it's not even a choice.

Goliaths, like so many other units, just feel so wimpy in SC2 since they lack their much better SC1 sounds.

Reapers being badass or useful? We have dismissed that claim.BisbyWorl posted:Guess how many times any of those things are relevant in a campaign setting. You don't need to scout, since enemy bases are fixed, and they'll always have defenders that never leave on attack waves so trying to hop in for a hit and run will just get your Reapers killed.

Weren't they cheaper in SC1? Their sounds are so weak and pathetic compared to the previous game, so they aren't satisfying to use at all.

While it is fitting for the fascist UED to have a company named after sparta, I still don't want to hire them. Oh man diamondbacks from that upcoming mission. Another unit that's way too expensive for what it does. It costs an entire extra supply more than it should for no reason. Pieces of Peace posted:WoL's very thin amount of menace applied to Tosh made the eventual requirement to choose between him and Nova have a very unpleasant "sinister criminal black man versus attractive 'noble' white woman" element, especially farcical when they're both former dominion assassins turned against it.

They really overuse the whole blink thing. It was neat the first few times but even in this very first mission when it is introduced it gets a bit much, but it just drags on and on and on throughout the games. At least in Warcraft 3 it was interesting and mostly used to find secrets and neat things instead.BisbyWorl posted:Plus on repeated playthroughs they're just... boring.

The predator is fermenting garbage. The only things not crushing it are groups of lightly armed and unarmored targets. It seems more like the Dominion developed it as "crowd control" to mow down riots and protests rather than something intended for a battlefield.

JohnKilltrane posted:Hercules is 95% useless but that's still an improvement. It's helpful on certain maps like Moebius Factor and Supernova and can be good for players who like to use Siege Tanks offensively. It'd be better if it didn't have such high tech requirements and didn't need, what, like six supply? But you can still get some mileage out of it.

I can't help but wonder how those protoss buildings were still fully functioning despite being right next to the freaking overmind. One of the buildings is almost in danger of falling over on top of the rotting corpse (the whole area must smell wonderful). Also the random colossus suddenly hiding in that very very deep nearby lake.

Some of the missions are fun but I wouldn't agree that it's worth 40 bucks. Maybe 20 for all four campaigns would be more reasonable, especially how bad and painful the writing gets . And of course there is the tiny little asterisk of ethical concerns.

The devs actively made the goliath worse. Not sure about the wraith but the vulture felt a lot slower and less agile than how it was in SC1.

I'm fairly certain that nobody is monitoring Tychus 24/7. It makes no sense if they did. But then again, everyone seems very stupid and with gaping plot holes through their heads so who knows?

I can never be bothered to micro the mind control thing so always pick the aura instead. You have to babysit them constantly to grab something and if there's too much stuff going on at different places they end up wasted.

Maybe it's Mobious that handles everything Tychus, including monitoring (if they even bother), and they probably don't give the tiniest poo poo about what he does unless it were to go against THEIR plans.

I'm sure the person who wrote that whenever a banshee is shot down a super special Dominion task force retrieves or blows up the stealth generator thingie but it's so stupid when you remember that Raynor, and every other Terran faction, already has them and there are even rogue ones hiring themselves out as mercenaries. It's not like the zerg can use them and the protoss already have vastly better stealth technology.

Oh right. I don't have any knowledge, or interest, in the coop commander stuff and forgot about them. But surely infested banshees are just regular existing banshees with an infested pilot? I meant it more like the zerg can't study the essence of a banshee cloaking generator and use it to morph stealth mutalisks. Although cloakable scourge would be hilarious.
