Can a terran marine...

[Kknewkles]

Maybe you are confusing it with a plasma axe of Tauren Marine?

[electricmole]

give them a plasma bo.

space marine are awesome but they are kinda slow and heavy.

[starcraftguy13]

if they did, then theyd be space marines, which they are, but not the terran marines, theyd be warhammer 40k space marines

[electricmole]

i know. Im just so confuse how powerful and big the terran marine armors is and they only use if for what? Minor shielding and carrying huge guns.

If they can move like a regular human with suit and lets say its durable enough, then they should go all kung-fu like against the zerg. They need a power stick.

I agree this thread should have been moved out of the StarCraft II Discussion, but perhaps it is more apt to move it into the StarCraft Lore section instead?

Fist vs mass Zerglings... I think gun + range wins.
Fist vs Psi blade... I think gun + range wins.
Fist vs shield... I think gun + range wins.

So why isn't this in lore forum?

[KillaKhan]

Maybe if punching a zergling won't work, they should put spikes on the toes of the combat armour, and kick them instead.

Powered armor is for enhanced shielding, and using higher recoil weapons. Melee weapons would be justified if they made tons more damage than ranged weapons, or you have insane hand to hand combat capability.

As the Zerg are basically killing machines, and the Protoss are 3 meter tall guys with the highest strength and speed the Xel'Naga found, i would prefer to keep my distance.

The suit makes them 10x stronger. Also, it equips them with huge, drill-like cocks for female satisfaction.
