You should not be able to steamroll the whole game using nothing but Marines. If you can, that suggests the Marine is OP and too versatile. Questionable game design.
@@mxbx307 I'd say "steamroll" is a bit too strong of a word. In many of the levels, it would've been so much cheaper resource and sanity wise to build a different unit. Just because you can build only marines, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
A marine walks into a bar and asks “where’s the counter?” The bartender responses “there is no counter.” (Edit: I just scrolled down 1 comment and realized someone else posted the same joke… welp)
@@mxbx307 As a protoss player - I raise you mass stalker. Sure it's kind of outdated, but in campaigns and in lower rank in ladder, it's still completely viable, and sometimes - necessary. Stalkers are WAY more versatile than marines. Shields mean if you're good, you can realistically take no damage from skirmishes, and it's a (mostly) cheap unit. Mass Marine only is easily outdone by Stalkers.
Not gonna lie, your All-In looked like my first brutal All-In a few weeks ago, except my army comp was the classic terran composition of broodlord, mutalisk, medivac
With your brilliant tactical acumen, you correctly deducted that your enemy had a maximum kill count limit. And by heroically sacrificing your army by the thousands, you maxed out that counter and won.
I remember in OG StarCraft 1 I used to make as many drops hips as you could select at once then make enough marines to fill them all, fly them into the middle of an enemy base and click unload all and watch the base disappear from the center outward.
Fun fact, there was a Starcraft 2 professional named MarineKing who won many tournaments back in the day and was famous for - you guessed it - building lots and lots of marines.
The theme of WoL challenge runs is that "Liberation Day is hell". Hilariously, lacking medics but getting stimpak means that you have returned to OG, pre-Brood War balance, where stim is a permanent trade-off on life for temporary damage. Still handy, but definitely a big decision on when to juice the boys.
@@lkmdude8094 It sounds like a tactical decision but in reality it just meant you never upgraded stim cause you could spend that gas on tanks, goliaths, and science vessels.
@@lkmdude8094 Except marines also only had 40 HP, and no combat shield upgrade; yeah, the guy above is right. Sacrificing 25% of a marine's unrecoverable health pool for a temporary damage boost was completely pointless. The only utility it had was with firebats, who had higher HP, and even then, firebats had very limited usefulness as a unit.

It’s been a while, you’ve done a lot of runs since this one. But you got me hooked for many months, watching your archive channel. These early fame-making videos still have a lot of rewatch value though. I find that, StarCraft II, Warcraft III, StarCraft I, and all of them again in various incarnations like deathless, marinerboys, real scale and mod fest and other streams do an amazing job of rotating content to keep it interesting. I don’t follow every series, but many of them. In no way did I expect you to be able to keep these games so interesting for so long. Hats of to you, sir!
Uh, can we talk about how slick the editing is for the segment of 'All-In'? That epic SC1 track building up to crescendo while you desperately throw everything you've got at Kerrigan to buy just a few more seconds - chef's kiss
This man and his missions done with just marines is kind of a great canonical tribute to Terrans in a galaxy with face melting hordes of Zerg and a technologically vastly advanced race of Protoss. The human spirit of the Terrans to never give up and keep going with the power of bullets and guns and manpower.
An old challenge...I remember watching someone try this back many years ago. Nice to see it again, but for the Protoss missions, people substituted "marine only" with zealot only.
@@lucasdantas2398 Nah, "badass-but-otherwise-ordinary human" and "awesome power armor" are only two of the three components necessary to make a Sister of Battle. The third is "enough faith to take anti-tank weapons to the face and keep fighting."
For future playthroughs of Welcome to the Jungle: The Protoss upgrades trigger only on Tarrazine turn-ins, so you can *cheese* the mission by patrolling SCVs that have tarrazine at your base, locking the protoss into base upgrades.
Next time you are having a bad day, remember that at least you weren't shoot out of a battlecruiser in a rickety drop pod directly into a black hole, before being spit out, briefly injected with drugs and then disolved to the quantum level. Me: WHERE DO I SIGN!?!?!?
Wings of Liberty, in which Jim Raynor is a crazed luddite cult leader who hates technology and chooses to send hordes of his devotees into the fray instead. The world laughes at Raynor as his people get trashed by machines and monsters, but in the end he is the one to save the day. Such is the power of a human spirit. I also like the way music reaches the outro the moment you beat the final mission at 32:42. great editing
There are a few missions that require transports. There might be others but 'The Moebius Factor' and 'Maw of the Void' come to mind. Edit: I forgot Orbital Strike exists. Mainly because I opt for the Tech Reactors.
Heart of the Swarm with only Zerglings or The Hyperion, no Kerrigan. Legacy of the Void with only Zealots, Centurions, or Sentinels. Artanis counts as a Zealot if he has a melee attack. PS: If you're in a marine suit like Raynor is in Liberation Day, you count as a marine in my book.
I thought the last mission was easier (during normal non marine only play) against fliers. Cause the nydus worms can appear anywhere in the middle of your base. At laeast the fliers can only attack the edges. And with the insane anti air upgrades to the turrets, it's usually a breeze.
You can prevent nydus spawning in your base by building buildings where they would spawn. Also you can just put two tanks and 2 marine bunkers in your base and forget about them

@@bayarsejar5831 Also keep in mind the "Choose Your Own Adventure" style of the WoL campaign. It doesn't require you to do it in any specific order, or to complete all of the other missions before going to Char. He just skipped the Deadman's Port mission and went to Char without Ghosts/Specteres.
@@Valhalla05 he did deadman’s ports but just not breakout 10:51-13:35
@@bayarsejar5831 Sorry, I meant New Folsom.
I feel like the ending of that last mission is exactly the vibe the writers wanted for it XD
27:26 "I knew his only weakness - bullets!"
Nova: Covert Ops reference understood and appreciated. Returning to default tasks.
"All in the name of archaeology!" That line killed me.
That bunker begging for mercy was hilarious
It’s been a while, you’ve done a lot of runs since this one. But you got me hooked for many months, watching your archive channel.
These early fame-making videos still have a lot of rewatch value though. I find that, StarCraft II, Warcraft III, StarCraft I, and all of them again in various incarnations like deathless, marinerboys, real scale and mod fest and other streams do an amazing job of rotating content to keep it interesting. I don’t follow every series, but many of them. In no way did I expect you to be able to keep these games so interesting for so long.
Hats of to you, sir!
"I should disguise myself as an SCV" got me to laugh in real life. Well done.
The "super unique" joke always gets me.
17:56 might be the funniest Starcraft meme ever
5:03 I love these little jokes, like that probe as an scv :D
Uh, can we talk about how slick the editing is for the segment of 'All-In'? That epic SC1 track building up to crescendo while you desperately throw everything you've got at Kerrigan to buy just a few more seconds - chef's kiss
17:58 You just described the life of an average Eversor assassin

"This guy again?"
"Kill one unit and he will give up"
Next video: beating Starcraft 2 using medics only
Yes.
19:15
"It's almost if the mission wants you to use flyers to eliminate hi-priority targets or something"
XD
This man and his missions done with just marines is kind of a great canonical tribute to Terrans in a galaxy with face melting hordes of Zerg and a technologically vastly advanced race of Protoss. The human spirit of the Terrans to never give up and keep going with the power of bullets and guns and manpower.
An old challenge...I remember watching someone try this back many years ago. Nice to see it again, but for the Protoss missions, people substituted "marine only" with zealot only.
it was the same guy lol GGG do all of these runs which is why he titled the video "is it ACTUALLY"
Marine printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
bro how you manage to comment this a day ago, vid came out 14 seconds ago
Brrrrrrrrrrrr
@@TheNotSoIrishGamer A lot of channels offer early access on videos to patreons and what not.

That one marine: You are the last one, complete the mission.
A Terran Space Marine is what happens if you put a Imperial Guardsman into a suit of Astartes power armour.
So... A sister of battle ?
@@lucasdantas2398 Nah, "badass-but-otherwise-ordinary human" and "awesome power armor" are only two of the three components necessary to make a Sister of Battle. The third is "enough faith to take anti-tank weapons to the face and keep fighting."
For future playthroughs of Welcome to the Jungle: The Protoss upgrades trigger only on Tarrazine turn-ins, so you can *cheese* the mission by patrolling SCVs that have tarrazine at your base, locking the protoss into base upgrades.
Each time I get blocked on a mission, I comeback to this run. Thank you for reviving this game for me man.
Speedruns have thought us one thing: Drop pods, drop pods everywhere.
26:27 You say Gates of Hell, yet the title card explicitly states Gates of Heck, I call shenanigans.
Jokes aside though, great video :)
How non-chalantly Grant said "I hate the doctor and want her to die" was scary. 0.o
I do not get why he dislikes her. I played StarCraft || campaign multiple times and have never even played the other mission.
"Where did you learn tactics, boy?!" Edmund Duke to Raynor
Next time you are having a bad day, remember that at least you weren't shoot out of a battlecruiser in a rickety drop pod directly into a black hole, before being spit out, briefly injected with drugs and then disolved to the quantum level.
Me: WHERE DO I SIGN!?!?!?
I like how every terran play always becomes the heaven of thousands flying barraks and factories, sooner or later
Them flying buildings be coming in clutch sometimes
all about the google intro was damn right perfect!
Really enjoyed this. From what I've gathered, the answer is, "no not completely (even on the Terran side of things), but you can get pretty close."
Yeah that's pretty accurate.
Wings of Liberty, in which Jim Raynor is a crazed luddite cult leader who hates technology and chooses to send hordes of his devotees into the fray instead. The world laughes at Raynor as his people get trashed by machines and monsters, but in the end he is the one to save the day. Such is the power of a human spirit.
I also like the way music reaches the outro the moment you beat the final mission at 32:42. great editing
32:18 its over Kerrigan, i have the high ground!
0:35 no ones gonna comment on how the rules are listed as "1) 2) c) 4)"???
Hehe c4 go boom

"By the numbers, boys."
"Anyone noticed that nobody ever comes back to the barracks?"
"Mother?"
Looks like the legend is back with another masterpiece
32:49 pure entertainment ! Good job
"Some may die. But thats a sacrifice I'm willing to make!"
There are a few missions that require transports. There might be others but 'The Moebius Factor' and 'Maw of the Void' come to mind.
Edit: I forgot Orbital Strike exists. Mainly because I opt for the Tech Reactors.
Heart of the Swarm with only Zerglings or The Hyperion, no Kerrigan. Legacy of the Void with only Zealots, Centurions, or Sentinels. Artanis counts as a Zealot if he has a melee attack.
PS: If you're in a marine suit like Raynor is in Liberation Day, you count as a marine in my book.
I thought the last mission was easier (during normal non marine only play) against fliers. Cause the nydus worms can appear anywhere in the middle of your base. At laeast the fliers can only attack the edges. And with the insane anti air upgrades to the turrets, it's usually a breeze.
You can prevent nydus spawning in your base by building buildings where they would spawn.
Also you can just put two tanks and 2 marine bunkers in your base and forget about them
Martin the Marine: "I don't want an award, I want a medic."
Grant: if i wanted to keep making planetary fortresses from now on, id have to train 3 WHOLE SCVS and thats just too much of a pain
