Hi guys,
I just was watching a stream with "Lumi" from starcraft method in a 2v2 match where he basically massed giant bunkers, tanks & rines, and blocked off the path between their two opponents. I have attached a screenie.
But, what the hell is this, and can anyone in the beta confirm how to get it, and what do you think about it?
:confused:
these are the upgraded bunker i suppose...
Those are the bunkers with the neosteel upgrade which increases their holding capacity by 2 slots. I think it also grants extra building armour (but I'm not sure).
No it doesn't increase armor as well, but there is a +2 armor upgrade for all terran buildings.
How come we don't see it used more? Given the extra capacity, esp against mutas, this bunker would make mutalisk attacks more subdued. Also, it seems this is a tier 2 upgrade? So, it might hold better against masses of hydras as well. And, once the +2 armor for building is researched, this bunker becomes that much more effective!
I wonder if players will try to use it more.
Bunkers also give extra range to units inside but.. Why get a bunker and 6 marines when you can get 2 thors(gas provided). Mutas can easily avoid bunkers and just like everything in this game - it needs to be massed for it to be good. Nobody wants to spend lots of money on stationary defense.
From my experience almost all defencive buildings in sc2 are almost completely useless, and onyl usefull the money in rare ocasions.
Pretty much. Except Planetary Fortress.Quote:

Terrans seem very defensive this time around.
I thought the upgraded bunkers were relegated to the single-player mode, though. Huh, neat.
