The average combat life expectancy for a Terran marine is less than 8 hours. That's a thing you know now.

That's one long combat

Blizzard's cutscenes were such a great part of gaming before modern high end videocards. We can render something like this in real time now.

You'll carry your prison with you. That armor will be your new cell.

Ehh I'm pretty sure its only this guy that gets this treatment, the rest are just people who get the marine suit. Isn't he like a hero unit?
Ryukaa
Story wise ALOT of the Marines are Brainfucked Convicts pressed into service. Not really pleasant fellows.

Ah makes a lotta sense, why let convicts waste away when you can make them your disposable army

Depends if you watched the cigar version or the swearing version. Regional censorship gets handled differently.

Is that armor permenant? Seems like smoking a cigar in it would be a bad idea.
Lichelf
He can still open the faceplate.
Samoht
But if the gloves are permanent how can he grab the cigar?

Very carefully!

Y'know, if they made a Starcraft-based movie in the same manner as the Warcraft movie, I would watch the shit out of that!

Just the idea of that makes me moist.

There is a book that would be the perfect blueprint for a script.Basically the events of the first game told through a reporters perspective

No I don't think I will, thank you.
StupidIdeaMaschine
Becoming a Terran marine is life sentence. Itch is extra. They deserve it.
MadDrDrillBit
yeah, looks cool, but why put actual people in it? ROV has more room for weapons and you ģet more than one life
Blackrain39
Normally, the armour is removable. This is a special exception.

Aside from gameplay mechanics. Marines in SC were actually boss as fuck. A single marine could probably wipe a group of zerg easy.

Zerg are huge, like as tall as a normal human with a thick armor-like exoskeleton

TheGreatLunchbox
So, does it bother anyone else that his visor closes with the lit cigar inside? Seems like that could get real unpleasant
mrgallaghers1
Always drove me mad thinking about this
PerXX
After the introduction of Medics, SC marine's battlefield life expectancy increased to 9 seconds. I don't think cigars matters much!
archwaykitten
No, it's part of the joke. "Rednecks in space" is a pretty good description of the Terran faction.
Grudgebearingmidget
"Australians in space" since the entire Koprulu sector's (Where most of the game takes place) Terran population arrived on prison ships.
FubarSnafu
Thought that the first time I played. Not my favorite version of Starcraft by far.
Guitarrefreak
It bothers the fuck out of me
SvprHanc
He’s just hot boxing that suit
ClayBones548
Not when you're Duke Nuk- I mean Tychus Findlay.
BallWalker
His suit is a bomb if i remember correctly and he cant take it off.
Grudgebearingmidget
PARTS of it are, that said the marine's suits as a whole are meant to never be taken off, thus why some of it is welded together.
Templarfreak
You see so many Marines throughout the series with lit cigars/cigarettes, I dunno what it is but I guess it just doesn't bother any of them.

jimmyriba
It's the year 40,000; I think they may have invented ventillation inside the suits by then. :)
digiorno88
The suits have a filtration system built into them
DeathandtheMaiden
The marines smoked inside their suits in the original StarCraft as well.
warmNchewey
They fight space aliens and use stim packs which is essentially meth. I think they are doomed anyway.
Bystandr
The stims are supposed to be a mix of synthetic adrenalin and exotic futuristic neuro stims , and remove 25% of their HP, so I imagine the

crash and hangover have to be pretty brutal.

Pff, don't be a pussy, that's how real men go to war.

You just eat it when the visor closes

So fun story: My grampa flew planes. He smelled gas and figured he should put it down. When he tilted the nose down, a bunch of fuel that1/2

DevonGronka
did the only thing he could think of that wouldn't blow the plane up: he swallowed the lit cigarette. That was the last time he ever 3/4

smoked. He said it made him so sick that he couldn't stand it any more.

I mean 90% of the Marines in SC are convicts using this to shorten their sentences.

I always feel Tychus' story was rather sad. In the end, he could have shot immediately, but he gave warning, and let Jim choose for him.

you are correct
UserSubHunterOfIndeterminateGender
That's almost all the marines in Starcraft. You'd know that if you pared attention to the lore. They're primarily sourced from convicts.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Try reading their comment again. See if it doesn't make sense in your context as well.
warmNchewey
Idk who downvoted you but it's true. They are in jail in that shit essentially.
SavageGoH
Yeah if you read the books, which I consider canon personally, convicts get brainwashed into mindless marines with a neural implant. The
SavageGoH
Regular marines find them disconcerting.
kuhraezah
Ergo, "Hell, it's about time"

I mean all of the colony ships that wound up in this sector of space were prison ship, the Korpulu Sector is basically Space Australia.

StopLookingAtMyName
It's like, when GW said they couldn't use the WH40K license, Blizzard just took the Marine model and made the armour uglier in every way.
ForgottenTaco
well i think the Space Marines armor looks ugly, face plates look stupid and the shoulder pads would block rotation of the arm.
skelitor120
Ironically, I think the Starcraft armor is much prettier than Warhammer armor.
StopLookingAtMyName
I just can't get along with it. Looks so bubbly and tinny. Space Marine armour looks like it's made of solid, thick metal.
skelitor120
That's kind of the idea, though. Ergonomics are pretty important when you're strapping a thing to your entire body
Shovi
And here i am thinking starcraft power armor looks cool and badass and the WH ones look silly and what a grandpa would think they look like.
Aerolfoz
...I have a hard time believing you could make Space Marines uglier. Certainly not by changing their helmets.
ForgottenTaco
same, i think it would be hard to make a human powered space armor look stupid. but WH40k does it. but they have a design and stick with it
Grudgebearingmidget
You haven't seen 'stupid design' until you've seen the Corvus (AKA "Beakie") style Space Marine Helmet.
DaCrazyBeggar
and put normal people inside
DrProfLenny
Actually most marines were convicts IIRC
StopLookingAtMyName
Still biologically just human, though.
thundercactus
Up until SC2 anyway
DaCrazyBeggar
even in SC2 they were normal humans not genetically hyperengineered Superhumans.
