StarCraft II: Terran Gameplay

[@forge16hanadamaintenancedr43]

When everything's broken, nothing is broken anymore

[@expiredmilk5235]

Yes

[@dangthinh90]

Yes. Dev team intervened too much in their own game to force the game to be played in their own image and so limit the potential of the game! Damn it!

[@pannik_lucas]

Heroes 3 logic, a bit

[@forge16hanadamaintenancedr43]

@i hate anime ?? Touhou is not anime tho, and yes, most animes are brain-rotting garbage. Plus, I do am planning on changing my pfp to zun art so it's less weeb-ish. Also, take less drug. It is as brain rottig as many animes.

[@forge16hanadamaintenancedr43]

@M J I don't know about Z, but I find it easier to fight MMM with P than with T(I'm gold 2 for both races). Gold terrans usually don't have much detection against OB's, and building colossus and high templars as soon as you spot more than 3 barracks should do the trick. MMM is very squishy against a protoss army with 2~3 colossus, ~3 archons, ~5 high templars, and a ton of zealots for tanking. With ~ 10 warp gates you can also support your army much faster than terran. Stupid terrans can even trap their marine-marauders between their tanks and your archons in some cases. The only danger is that the terran may be building vikings, which you can also counter with a round of stalkers.

[@antduude]

I remember watching this video over and over while we waited for the game to come out. Lotta cool units got cut, though. I'd completely forgotten about the Cobra. Still a great game, though. And 6 years later....I still can't play for shit.

[@Jonathan-bu7iv]

I think they renamed it to diamondback in campaign

[@AlgaInventory]

Yep, they are diamondback

[@marcishim19]

@@AlgaInventory yep, great units, but I don't know how diamondbacks would hold up in versus.

[@dragonslair951167]

@@marcishim19 They'd probably fluctuate between OP and useless. If you don't have a unit that can run faster than them or out-range them, you'd never catch them. But if you do have a unit like that, they become a waste of resources.

Now I'm here in 2019, still looking back at this vid coz of the nostalgia. God, how can 9 years fly by so fast??? (T.T)

[@ub3rfr3nzy94]

I love how the buildings looked more like the SC1 versions, bunkers and command centre, they built off of that and then adapted. Basically a SC1 remake in 3D. T

[@qualwinters8784]

@UB3RFR3NZY Agreed. I kinda liked the continuous vibe coming from the previous series. SC2 is still a great game! Just feels like a brand 'new' game instead of a continuation of old. Personal opinion, here. X)

[@BartixShieldsmen]

Why for the love of god would they remove half of this stuff, thors built from scvs, ghost drop pods, an alternative bc weapon, even the diamondback is now just a freaking campaign unit

[@ileryon4019]

The diamond back looks nice, and would be very good. I guess they wanted thors from factory to disallow masses of thor being built all over the map, and proxy thor.

[@alexherdman6423]

The game wouldn’t be balanced.

[@gendalfgray7889]

@@alexherdman6423 no, you still can balance everything. They just don't wanted to do stuff.

[@alexherdman6423]

@@gendalfgray7889 Blizzard wouldn't just 'not want to do stuff'. they're a massive company. Sure, some of this stuff looks cool, but they would've been overpowered. The game honestly doesn't need new units anyway, and units like the diamondback that weren't added to the multiplayer were still in the campaign.

[@sparke66]

@@gendalfgray7889 some of the features in SC2 Alpha/Beta that were cut was probably because it would be very impractical in terms of multiplayer balance. I'm sure calling in drop pods for every game with ghosts (since it would be hands down the only practical strategy) would be fun to you, but to others, not so much.

[@SmokingSpoon]

I remember drooling over those demos back then. They just seem cold and sad viewing them now.

Boy you are crazy if you think that. Also 1 year necro to a 7 year necro

[@Fifury161]

It's almost exactly 9 years since I watched this! The units introduced here are so different to what is available now! I would like to see the drop pod option for the Ghosts in multiplayer!

[@CompleteAnimation]

All these old ideas that didn't make it into the final game. I still remember the old Temest idea, which was a dark templar carrier with an amazing ground to air shield, but no shield for air to air.

[@raphaelangelotaboada4338]

[@TheMock5000]

I'm glad I found this video again and the protoss one. I rember being excited to play, but then being cockblocked by battle net because my dad bought only 1 copy. Many years later, I've played through the campaigns... but it just isn't the same. Hots and Void changed a lot of things, whether they be good or bad.

[@QuentinousX13]

Maybe this wasn't balanced for competitive games, but this looks so much fun compared to what we got today.

[@oIIBLACKOUTIIo]

christmas! 2019!! i watched this in 2010 a million times haha

[@_FSync_]

Terrans are so much more versatile now than they used to be, I used to love playing Protoss in classic, but I might pick on Terran in Starcraft II. Nice job on the development of Starcraft II, can't wait to get into the BETA or buy the game in the future.

Thank you for showing me this gameplay its lookin legit

Just incredible what they did for this game TBH. Brood War will always be the better game to me, but they really did get creative and do their best to innovate with SC2 and I respect it for that.

Yea but many things from this video arent in the game in the same way.

[@leonardoprada1369]

Wow the animations are incredible ... unfortunately the had to eliminated some of them in orden make the game smoother ... and the effects were pretty better than the current ones ... would be kinda interesting to try this

I wish they would bring back the old thor building mechanism and the 2nd call down ability of the ghost =)

[@johnnyk617]

Bring back ghost drop pods wtf

Eh. Ghost rushes would be stupidly powerful. You'd need to nerf it to make it better, and then it wouldn't be as cool :D

[@Darksky1001able]

• Smudgest • How???

[@brokenalien3426]

You can make it drop 8 marines for the cost of 12 with a 10 sec delay/channeling or preproduce the marines and put them in a terran transporter thing much like nydus and for every 8 supply inside you would be able to drop a pod(again with the challening time before they actually drop). Just an idea

What happened to this starcraft? I want to play THIS starcraft!

[@kurttlorenz386]

qweqwe And you trying to make 'less' his desire. Are you 6 or what? Lol

[@nitthecroller]

There isn't a single person here who will apologise to you. Why would you think that me wanting to play an earlier build of SC2 is childish? That leaves impression of idiotic mentality and an under developed brain. Let me paint you a picture: You know what cake is, right? Say, somebody wanted to eat the cake as it was still in development stage. Would you think that is childish? You'd be wrong to think so. It is merely 'want', it is 'desire'. Everybody has desires. Somebody wanting to eat an unfinished cake. Someone else wanting to play an earlier build of SC2. The fact that children are the ones who say "i want this and that" does not imply that adults have outgrown their desire of want. I'm twenty one years old, soon to be twenty two. I have a job and a college to attend to. Why would it be childish for me to want to play this version of StarCraft? It is not I who must be taught that wanting something is wrong. It is you who must be taught that thinking somebody is childish simply because they expressed their desires, is wrong. And even if I was eight years old. Even then, what do you gain by pointing out my age? Glory? The people's approval? A fucking medal? No. If anything, it is you who must apologise here. As a side note, "I want you to apologise to me" sounds way more childish than "I want to play this StarCraft!".

[@nitthecroller]

It is painful to see one as ignorant and simple minded as you are. It was a waste of your time to post your comment judging my age, just as to how it is a waste of my time to enlighten you to the world we live in. Yet I was willing to make that sacrifice while you only seem intent on disrespecting me. I will not make that mistake again and continue this conversation further.

[@kashey2000]

Now that's a whoopin.

[@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy]

Ikoter Killzor I think that Terran is a bit OP here.

[@Sam-yx9ry]

In hindsight, probably the final project before Blizzard’s glory days came to an end. Can’t believe it’s been fourteen years. Remember the hype and excitement around this title like it was yesterday! Strange to think the gap between now and SC2 is now bigger than the gap between the original SC and SC2; it felt like an eternity waiting for a sequel! Speaks volumes about the quality of games blizzard used to put out. Great game. Exceptional storytelling. Blizzards cinematic’s were always Hollywood quality. I must have watched this trailer a hundred times before the game was released. Good times

[@Ocelot923]

Ghost in this demo cool concept , with that drop pods ability but maybe its too disbalanced when u can cost the unit energy for 20 marines

[@GerMorden]

It's not an energy-based ability, actually. If you look closer to the vid, you can see the messages of "Drop pods ready" and that drop pods on standby actually takes supply. Think of it as of nuke call down, but with marines for their full price (and maybe some extra gas even), but it's anywhere you wish.
