What's New In the Terran Inventory?

The New Terran.

          The Terran have made some vital technological advancements since Brood War.  In this post I want to take some time to focus on the new weapons this humanoid race will bring to the table in StarCraft 2.
           If you played Starcraft or Brood war, you know the Terran were gimped in the anti-air sector.  They had nearly unstoppable ground to ground ability, but once an air attack was introduced the Terran were up to their necks in their own carcasses.  In StarCraft 2 the Terran have adapted to the challenge of air superiority by redesigning old weapons, and creating entirely new ones at the same time.   

Terran Coat of Arms

1.  The Reaper, seems to have replaced fire bats, and are a unique fighting force that will compliment the Marines.

The Reaper

                       Trains From: Barracks 
                       Weapon: P-45 Scythe Gauss Pistols, D-8 Charges
                       Role: Raider

Equipped with duel rapid fire pistols and D-8 short range explosives which are thrown at an ensuing target.  These guys can be lethal in battle.  The Reaper is also equipped with jet packs which allow them to move faster and jump higher than their predecessor the fire bat could.

2.The Viking, brings a whole new concept to the Terran military.  The Viking can fly into combat and gain control of the skies, then with a click-of-a-button they land and become bipedal armored Mechs ready to devastate the opposition on the ground.

The Viking

                     Builds From: Factory
                     Weapon: Twin Gatling Cannon (assault mode)
                               MT50 Lanzer Torpedoes (fighter mode)
                     Role: Air Combat/Ground Support

        The viking is prepared to bring a new strategy to the battle ground, and I'm sure this weapon will be a useful tool in the box.



3. AH/G-24 Banshee, Is a new air assault vehicle, with a cloaking ability that can get it to vital points on the map for key ambushes.  This weapons only dissadvantage is its Air to Ground only attack.

AH/G-24 Banshee

               Builds From: Starport
               Weapon: Backlash Cluster Rockets
               Role: Tactical Strike Aircraft

     I can see it now.  Using Viking support and the Banshee's powerful ground attack, a combination that could be both powerful and pivotal in combat.

4. Thor, is the Terran's answer to the race for bigger and better.  The equivalent of a battle cruiser on the ground this machine is a walking trash compactor.  It moves slow, but the sheer fire power that Thor can produce is...SICK!

Thor

                Built By: SCV
                Weapon: "Thor's Hammer" Particle Accelerators, 

                        250mm Bombardment Cannon
                Role: Ultimate Heavy-assault Mech

      All I can say is OMG!  This is going to be nasty.

5.TF-620 Nomad, Is the replacement for the science vessel, with the ability to make small defensive structures. 

TF-620 Nomad

              Builds From: Starport
              Weapon: None
              Role: Battlefield Support/Construction

      This support vehicle will be working behind the scenes on the battlefield, and even though it has no active weapons it is still a viable threat to the enemy with its fast combat adaptivity.  

Here  is a shot  of  the  Terran  army  at work  on  the 

Battlefield.    The  new  and  improved  Terran  army
Will   be  a force  to  contend   with  in   Starcraft    2

Terran Command Center

This is a picture of the Terran command center.  If you notice there is a large cannon raising hell.  I don't know how many battles I fought in, in Brood war that came down to resources, but that more times than not, was what wins or loses battles.  With the Defensive ability of this command center, the Rush strategy is all but washed up.  It's all good though, because I was always more of an army builder rather than quick win type player.  I found that if you have enough defense to thwart a rush attack, while continuing to strive for the long term research weapons, the wind would be in your favor.  That was a bit of Eskergy for the day.
