Marines say funny things (Starcraft: BroodWar)

[@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370]

I love how the entire mission felt as if that nameless, cool Marine was the main character and commander of those forces instead of Duran xd. He was so funny and likeable, I even named him Julio after my dad.

[@mangame5]

I shall remember this and know him as Julio as well, whenever I play this mission.

How about Imperial Guard?

[@combinecommando001]

@Combine 96 No, in their description, it states that they are remnant of the UED expeditionary forces. Since the UED was defeated, they decided to band stick together as mercernaries to the highest bidder thanks to their more advanced goliaths. Whereas the siege breakers are ex-confederates who still use the old Arclite tanks which are heavily modified to surpass the newer Crucio tanks.

[@ileryon4019]

This mission introduced the style of humor Blizzard would use in Warcraft 3 and Starcraft II.

[@CallofDutyBlackOps28]

and the end of it; too as Activision took them outside like ol' Yeller.

[@mando074]

Most if not all the humor was based on 80s and early 90s movie trivia. It's all Aliens, Terminator, Robocop, Predator, Dune, Star Trek and other popular sci-fi humor. Really cool.

[@tanalbi]

1:40 "Uuuuuuuh... oops! Hehehe" That marked my childhood. I do recall perfectly the day i played this mission back in 1999 on my old trusty Pentium II with 64 MB of RAM, i never understood what was the entire Starcraft saga plot nor anything, i just was asking "Where's Stukov?!" nosense Yeah, this game was the best thing of my childhood!

these marines had more character and charm derived from this one single mission than the entire trilogy of any single character in sc2

I disagree, but only because of Tychus and Alarak.

[@augustday9483]

@@BFCrusader And yet somehow it just doesn't have the same punch as SC1. I think it's the cartoony visuals. Everything in SC2 is like a Fisher Price plastic model compared to the sharp sprites from original.

[@hiperblaszter]

@@augustday9483 So many people jump to conclusion so fast about this. Developers dont push for ESRB ratings. The thing is a 3d modell is much harder to deal with than a 2d modells. For a 2d modell you can replace a dead unit frame by frame with any picture. So you can go for more gore without any performance issue. Your work is much harder with 3d modells. More work means more money or/and time and consumers (you) start whining. In an rts no NEED more colors becouse of visual cues.

[@augustday9483]

@@hiperblaszter Actually fun fact: SC1 used 3d models to create the units. They simply took pictures of the models at different angles and baked them into sprites. So if they could make convincing gritty visuals with SC1's cgi models from the mid 90s, surely SC2's models from 10+ years later could have achieved a similar affect. Unfortunately SC2's artstyle is simply bad.
