Stinger-the answer to the terran vehicle problems?

[overmind]

this vehicle looks like a cross between the vultures speed and munerability and the seige tanks strengh;

http://sclegacy.com/features/ghost/unit-stinger.jpg


Another of the new vehicles created specifically for StarCraft: Ghost, the Stinger is a rugged and versatile jeep. Its six-wheels give it better stability for navigating difficult terrain, making it ideal for all-terrain transport and support. Occupying the middle ground between the Vulture's speed and the Siege Tank's overwhelming power, the Stinger provides good mobility with respectable firepower. It has room for a single driver and a gunner, who rides in the back of the vehicle to man the mounted heavy assault cannon.


what do you think ???

[Major Willy]

Rename it, tone down the speed to be less than Vultures at fully upgraded, do less damage than the Siege Tank in Tank mode.

[Ych9]

Looks like an interesting unit that may actually be in SC2.
If the Vultures are axed, I think this unit would be the one that can actually lay mines.

[Star-Crap]

straight outta halo huh?

[overmind]

Major Willy i think that it will be a cross between as in having less than both but being more versatile.

either that or a total replacement for vulture what ever...

Edit; why does everyone say SC2 is a copy of Halo! its nothing a like!

[didd293]

I wouldn't mind if that replaced the vulture. I didn't like them much anyways

Because when halo came out.. people probably accused it of being like SC. The halo fan boys are here for revenge.

[Protoss Kills Infinitely]

how is halo at ALL like starcraft!!!

[Major Willy]

There are humans.
And space marines.

yea especially when his name is Star-Crap

[DontHate]

it'd be cool if this replaced the vulture. It's good that it's more powerful and tough, but it needs to plant mines.

haha you fellas have me all wrong. I think halo is one the gayest games ever! Im just pointing out that this vehicle looks like the one in halo. Starcraft FTW. WOW is gay too btw

[FlyingTiger]

LOL ok I get it

yea its straight from SC: Ghost

[DaygoWop]

I am not sure if that is the answer to the terran vehicle problem... but i do know that the "ultimate answer to the universe" is 42...

[Gorythax]

42 being the answer to : How many terrans does it take to figure out the inner configuration of a Stalker's psi-emitted emotionalized signals that emit to its gyro-propelled plasmatic-cannon rays, thus telling them to let out the force of the psionically warped plasma shots?

Don't try to understand. Protoss joke ;).

No, seriously, I don't think it would be the answer either, so they should just bar the vulture.
Besides, it reminded me too much of a speeder bike xD

[capthavic]

straight outta halo huh?


Not really. It's got six wheels and only room for two.

Anyway I think it would be a good addition to (or even replacement for) the vulture. I wouldn't mind a new name though.

[paragon]

The terrans don't have a vehicle problem... the goliath is the thing between the vulture and the tank

[PowerkickasS]

soooooo copying halo lol :P

[paragon]

and halo copies space above and beyond and that copies something else and so on and so on...

[Major Willy]

There's been a little Halo/Starcraft feud in the Vindicator topic.

The Stinger was in Starcraft Ghost and the whole game was scrapped. So any arguments over the Stinger copying the Warthog are going into a big pit of flames courtesy of Thor, GOD OF LIGHTNING.

Hmm... sounds like my Jeep idea from a while back... (maybe that's where I got the inspiration ;)) Anyways, the concept is similar, though my idea of the Jeep would be to allow transport for 2, with 1 passenger (providing that it's an attacking barracks unit), being the gunner, or something like that, or maybe even having anyone (providing they're Terran and a small ground unit) to be able to act as gunner, as long as they're "garrisoned"....

Well Elites are clearly hybrid protoss/zerg

[beBoy]

straight outta halo huh?


I don't think Halo was out when StarCraft original went out right (correct me if i'm wrong)? Stinger was actually in one of the cinematics in the original StarCraft...

[Major Willy]

beBoy now that you mention it...
The Stinger was in first Starcraft. The cinematic when the two redneck soldiers hit a Zergling.

[Gorythax]

Ah... good times, good times. Yeah I remember it too... So then, I guess it's In j00 fayc Halo Fanboiz!

[paragon]

stinger has one seat up front, the thing in the starcraft cinematic that you people are talking about had two seats up front and no gun and only four wheels

[capthavic]

Yeah obviously not the same vehicle. So take that!

[Major Willy]

Capthavic are you proud that Halo isn't stealing from Starcraft? Which is in a sense putting down Starcraft...

On a Starcraft forum. I can hear the hounds snarling already.

[capthavic]

lol just having fun. And how is that putting down Starcraft? Just pointing out the obvious difference.

Besides there is no reason I can't like both :D

[paragon]

Well the new hover vehicle is probably going to solve the terran vehicle problem that didn't exist.

[marinepower]

It would be nice to set this thing to manual attack mode, where instead of always hitting, you can pick where the unit shoots using a lot of micro. Bliz did say that pros will be able to outshine the noobs in many different ways, and this could be one of them. This could be helpful in bringing down cloaked units such as wraiths, and observers, or in greater numbers, Dt's.
