In an alternate universe, wearing the power armor means your death will be gruesome, as your 'brothers' will say something like "Only in death our duty ends!"
Honestly, it's not that far off. We already have working powered exoskeletal suits. The issue is just power, since those suits have a cord that plugs in a power source. We do have smaller more bare bones one that are more weight reduction suit than anything, and they can last quite a few hours to a few days on battery power. Can carry like 160kgs with them on and feel like your carrying a feather. But against, power is the biggest issue (and money of course, they ain't cheap haha).
@@Luis-be9mi the place was called a vespine refinery. This was from a time when terrazine didn’t even exist yet in StarCraft lore up until SC2, when it was first mentioned by Gabriel Tosh. Terrazine itself won’t make an appearance until LotV when you encounter Alarak.

I was never born in the times of Starcraft 1, but when I saw it, I actually preferred the tone and atmosphere over the newer games. It just gives off a more unique vibe to the whole universe than what we got with SC2.
@jylETZ The purpe light it's terrazine gas, the geiser start pumping terrazine out and the refinery couldn't hold it, that's why it exploted, the zergs "feel" the terrazine and they camp the nearest they could srry if my english it's way too broken i hope it's understandable :P

Или спуститься в шахты, а потом зайти в городскую ратушу, или ночным эльфом покупаться в лунном колодце=) Было интересно посмотреть на стратегию глазами юнита. Как же все это захватывало дух...
My childhood wasted on anticipation for a game that got canceled, picked up, canceled again, picked up again, and then finally dead and buried. But this trailer, every time, reminds me WHY we need more starcraft games. The idea was so great: spot for siege tanks, call in nukes, request orbital bombard, clear LZ's for reinforcements, and finally sneaking around espionage and sabotage on enemy fortifications. It was going to have pvp with races. But nope, now my hope is they make a top down rpg like diablo for starcraft or something cause if they don't figure out a new story to write for a 3rd installment. This series is gone.
A single Zergling can rip though Marine armour at a decent rate, the bigger issue is said Zergling getting to the marine. If they can ambush them its purely based on the experience of the marine in CQC. Marines excel at long range fire, hell they can even use the power motors and joints locked up and do kilometre long shots, and the marines weapons can rip though a Zergling quite easily. That's why the Zerg would send 10-1 ratios of zerglings at minimum, if not more.
@@stevenborchert6551 Zerglings are all about quantity being a quality in itself. The lore ratios of zergling to marines in winning engagements in favor of zerg are way above the game balance.
@@rafaelfarias4359 Well yes, that's why I said in the latter half the ratio is like 10-1 at minimum, but just because they do favour Quantity over Quality, the Zerglings are by no means weak themselves. They just happen to go up against stuff that can rip them apart. Put them up against Modern Day forces and the Zergling would rip though them quite easily, even tank armour would barely slow them down. The marine gauss spikes are hilariously massive compared to modern day rounds, and are fired at speed's we're only just learning how to do now. Just like a M4, SCAR or any other current assault rifle would have incredible amounts of trouble, if they even can, of getting though the amour of the Marines power suit.
@@stevenborchert6551 Looking at the original SC1 design of the zergling (or failing that, the StarCraft Remastered design), their front limbs have _wicked_ long blade comparable to a Hydralisk's arms, unlike the weird short claws in their Ghost design. Even SC2 gives them sickle-claws instead of pointy toes.
@@syweb2 Exactly, and those claws are edge in diamond like composites, making them incredibly strong to. It's why I said they could probably rip apart modern tank armour with ease. It really goes to show that if the zerg ever came, they' shred us like no ones business.

I know its just a cut scene for fun but I am incredulous that when going up against the most fearsome threat the galaxy has faced, that killed billions, even a captain wouldnt exercise a little more caution. Wouldnt catch me advancing on a zerg position with nothing but marines assuming they just "ran away". Fun cut scene though. Well designed.
How has everyone in the comments not noticed that Nova Covert Ops was the recreation of Ghosts. They aren't gonna do another because Covert Ops is pretty much what they had in mind, Nova being the main character and all.
That's the omega symbol. Omega Squadron also known as the Death Head's legion. Hence why they also have the Skull and Cross Bones insignia on their armor.
Lore explains they experimented with weaponry on dropships for self defense, but opted against it for higher payload capacity. But apparently something that wasn't adapted into the game was the ability of passengers to fire from side doors or platforms mounted on the undercarriage.
@@erikestrada7470 and suddenly Emporer Mengsk retrofitted some shenanigans that allow Siege tanks to fire from a dropship while in siege mode. I call bs
@@HibiscusOrchid Well I'm just speaking in terms of why the manufacturers originally opted against including weaponry in the standard model of the Quantradyne APOD-33 Dropship, which was still the primary active infantry transport used at the time this was supposed to take place, and that was in favor of the space and weight saved without it. Customization options were available and there were many cases of commanders/crew retrofitting standard models of Dropship (among other equipment) to suit what they deemed more valuable. Interestingly enough, during the Brood War, upon learning that 37 percent of field deployed troops became casualties which required evacuation to the rear, Arcturus Mengsk himself ordered a redesign to the Quantradyne that would allow it to be capable of medical transport and evacuation in hot zones. This directly lead to the development of the G-226 medical transport, colloquially referred to as the Medivac we know today. (Sorry I know I'm a nerd but outside of actually reading the comics myself SC is my favorite lore)
dropships are meant mainly for carrying, not fighting. not even for fighting from the people inside. that's the role of gunships and other weaponized ships. it's risky to send dropships without support, so that's odd of them to do. maybe they were stretched thin.
I remember reading Nova, the novel like more than 15 years ago. Man, the NOVA cussing was hilarious but if I would ever call something cringe, that was it.
Twenty years ago, in a moment of madness, some genius blew the entire game budget on this promising trailer. Twenty years later I am no longer sure Blizzard has the genius to deliver what they promised, even with a mad budget.
A possibly great game,...that we never got EDIT: Imagine a Starship Trooper (ish) game were you got to fight a bunch of Zerg in FPS (or hell you are part a marine corp in the First Brood war but instead of behing in command you are; Boots on the ground and wait for instruction that be awesome (and also branch out starcraft univers)... Again Very sad we didn`t get that game... it had good potential back then.

I'll chip in and say that I prefer this power armor design to SC2's one. I always liked old SC power armor more, but this is a very good rendition, it's heavy, bulky, frankly a bit ridiculous and definitely stylized. Love how angular it is in all the right places while SC2's one is just... fukkn round everywhere, like those modern OS rounded icons.

Is this how 40k 10th Edition begins?!?!?
I wonder if command and conquer renegade is still playable
I love Renegade, there is something called Renegade X, but my PC is too old for it.
i never understand why dropships never have a method of self defence, like flares o automatized AA gun
Lore explains they experimented with weaponry on dropships for self defense, but opted against it for higher payload capacity. But apparently something that wasn't adapted into the game was the ability of passengers to fire from side doors or platforms mounted on the undercarriage.
@@erikestrada7470 and suddenly Emporer Mengsk retrofitted some shenanigans that allow Siege tanks to fire from a dropship while in siege mode. I call bs
@@HibiscusOrchid Well I'm just speaking in terms of why the manufacturers originally opted against including weaponry in the standard model of the Quantradyne APOD-33 Dropship, which was still the primary active infantry transport used at the time this was supposed to take place, and that was in favor of the space and weight saved without it. Customization options were available and there were many cases of commanders/crew retrofitting standard models of Dropship (among other equipment) to suit what they deemed more valuable. Interestingly enough, during the Brood War, upon learning that 37 percent of field deployed troops became casualties which required evacuation to the rear, Arcturus Mengsk himself ordered a redesign to the Quantradyne that would allow it to be capable of medical transport and evacuation in hot zones. This directly lead to the development of the G-226 medical transport, colloquially referred to as the Medivac we know today.
(Sorry I know I'm a nerd but outside of actually reading the comics myself SC is my favorite lore)
dropships are meant mainly for carrying, not fighting. not even for fighting from the people inside. that's the role of gunships and other weaponized ships. it's risky to send dropships without support, so that's odd of them to do. maybe they were stretched thin.
the game that never was. i was feinding for this to come out.
Blizzard were in danger of making a good game, thank god this didn't come out, we might have liked it.
That was back when they still gave a fuck, I think.
Most people will never noticed there's a single goliath at 4:32.
There is three if you look in the baackground at 1:13.
First time after many years i realice that this is like the dropside massacre from star ship troopers.
Damn it!!! GGG would undo all humanitys threats with 3 SCVs and one or two man with gun.
I remember reading Nova, the novel like more than 15 years ago. Man, the NOVA cussing was hilarious but if I would ever call something cringe, that was it.
Twenty years ago, in a moment of madness, some genius blew the entire game budget on this promising trailer.
Twenty years later I am no longer sure Blizzard has the genius to deliver what they promised, even with a mad budget.
Ultra-Ling-Hydra vs Marine-Firebat with no medic, stim… GG Captain Buck
Fuck, what a missed opportunity this was and STILL is!
"WHERE"S OUR AIR SUPPORT????" *Marine Just Points Up*
A possibly great game,...that we never got
EDIT: Imagine a Starship Trooper (ish) game were you got to fight a bunch of Zerg in FPS (or hell you are part a marine corp in the First Brood war but instead of behing in command you are; Boots on the ground and wait for instruction that be awesome (and also branch out starcraft univers)...
Again Very sad we didn`t get that game... it had good potential back then.
Imagine if they remade this game now? Or if they made a Starcraft version of Battlefront...
Twenty years ago, in a moment of promising genius, someone blew the entire budget on this mad trailer.
Twenty years later I am no longer sure Blizzard is genius enough to deliver what they promised, even with a mad budget.
im still wondering how they fit that gap between the human head and those "supposed" limbs
Wondered the same thing
those are mechanical limbs.
I like that soviet on the shoulder with word meaning mercenary on old russian 😏
I swear that's Jason Statham in the thumbnail
C rank terran player moving his marines without scanning first or harassing with vultures or even building medics
We need you back Marines, we need the Camaraderie and GODDAMN WAR !!!
For a second there I thought the thumbnail was Rob Schneider
EA: Bad. But not as bad as Blizzard.
well EA (LA) plus petrogliph managed to bring a GOOD remaster
When you made 5 sets of marines, and just "A" on a certain map location with no care in the world...
2:33 A Nova's nipple?
참고로 위영상에 나온 수송선 모델링은 나중에 스타크래프트 2의 의료선으로 재활용됩니다.
Infantry needs armor, armor needs infantry.
How big were those fliers if the marines were inside the transports....
Well... They can fit two siege tanks
I'll chip in and say that I prefer this power armor design to SC2's one. I always liked old SC power armor more, but this is a very good rendition, it's heavy, bulky, frankly a bit ridiculous and definitely stylized. Love how angular it is in all the right places while SC2's one is just... fukkn round everywhere, like those modern OS rounded icons.
All is missing that after few seconds of black screen at the end, voice of adjutant "Nuclear launch detected".
the swarm conquers all and the swarm are endless,feel the wrath of the swarm!!
3:57 onward: "This is an ugly planet, it's a Zerg planet!"
