Oh, on another note, have you tried landing Terran buildings or just constructing any buildings on top of Force Fields? I'd be amused of Terran buildings could crush Force Fields by landing on them... O.o

IIRC Reapers now use only one slot, or at least they do in Latin America.
Yeah. Definitely not worth doing that unless that's the only the opponent has to defend his base (but even then it's really still not worth the effort). Using up energy to kill about 4 marines? yay... But a bug is a bug and Blizz should still fix it
Doesn't makes any difference. 4 Marines will die very fast to watever killed the Bunker.
I don't know if this bug has been fixed, but for those of you saying it's not that big of a deal, you should check out the recent OGSMC vs LiquidJinro match #2 in the GSL final four. OGSMC didn't use the bug but was very close to surrounding two bunkers of marines with ff by his six sentries, backed by stalkers shooting them down. He may not be aware of the bug, but had he completely surrounded both and destroyed them (which he did destroy them with the force fields still up, it would have had a huge effect on that battle as that was the bulk of Jinro's army.
I wish he had cuz Tastless and Artosis' reaction had they not been aware of the bug would have been priceless.
Aw I thought you were gonna do something crazy like push all your stalkers up the ramp who do not yet have blink, then forcefield push them into his base lol
It is a huge deal! Tastosis didn't catch it, but ogsMC used it in the last game of the GSL series and destroyed all of the units in the bunker with this glitch. I'm still not sure if Tastosis or Blizz are aware it exists, but it definitely looked like OGSMC knew it did. Or he just happened to place his force fields there strategically and didn't know it would happen.
If a unit has no exit pathing that is meant to happen and of course the solution is in pathing.
However, is 7 forcefields worth that? Furthermore the bunker is in a convenient spot to illustrate the bug. Is it even viable doing that considering you might just block yourself while doing that?
the pathing shouldn't cause them to be killed. THey should simply take the place of the destroyed bunker. And considering it worked with no losses on MCs part, yes it is viable and it worked.
However, he only used three to four because that's all you need to surround a bunker.
