StarCraft discussion

Has anyone read any of the starcraft books?

They have books?

Yes, you didn't know? Borders or Barnes and Nobles. Go to the fantasy/sci-fi section. Bingo, tons of Starcraft books!

oh i thought StarCraft was just a fun Video Game

Usually, they make books out of almost every single video game. Halo is an example.

They have Halo books to? ( i dont usually read video game books)

Yes, they have Halo books. Even Warcraft! I am not interested in video game books as well. It's for those hardcore guys who really want to know the whole background of the game.

Ive never read any of the books but i think it would be interesting. I knew there were halo books before but not anything else.

Yes i have read Starcraft Ghost Nova which follows Nova (real name November) who is a ghost of course. It follows her from how she became a ghost and tell her about her life story. If you dont know how Nova is she was the character who was suppose to be in the "starcraft ghost" game that was canceled. I also read "Speed of darkness" another good book which follows the life of a marine.

The game was cancelled? I thought they made it?

No they cancelled the game i cant remember why though but it would have been like a sneaking based game as you play a ghost and they show you what every creature look like in starcraft and even the buildings

No, they did make it. Here's the Wikipedia link:

No i read it they still havent released it yet blizzard wont say it was canceled i read the wiki thingy and it didnt say anything about actually being released it tells about what they had planned to do with it but it didnt come out >.< would have loved playing it

Should have read it myself. I thought they did make it. It looks like they didn't. Sorry for wasting 5 minutes of your life. LOL

Na its all good dont worry about it hahah it was intresting to read what would have been in that game but sadly it wasnt made T.T i would have loved to play it and see what each unit would have actually fully look like

Yeah, especially the Dragoon. Since Starcraft II is almost coming out, I have a pretty general image about the other units but the Dragoon always stumps me.

Lol hmmm i think i remember seeing a video for what they would have looked like in starcraft ghost wait let me see......here it is what a dragoon would have looked like

Cool looking to might i say

Got a pricture of a dragoon. This was from the Starcraft cinematics. They sure do look cool.

Yeah they do in that picture it doesnt look like it would drop blue fluids

Well, they actually are aliens inside metal armor so it would make sense.

Thats true but remember they are the fallen zealots that didnt die fully so they place in there to continue to fight

To correct you, they actually are grievously wounded templar.

LOL, Starcraft Wiki.

cool

Lol true true yea sadly they arnt going to be in number two well i guess we get a new units but they can never replace a dragoon T.T

i'll miss dragoons

I miss them too T.T

:'(

Woot replayed the game and it was awesome i forgot how the story and it was fun remembering it all

To tell the truth, the immortals look pretty sweet themselves.

They do and plus they get a shield bonus against heavy attacks like the sieged tanks but other then that they can die fast again quick attacking units

Yeah, the very first protoss demonstration video.

Lol i thought it was the newest one that they showed but the zealots showed first/probe

No I think it was part of the first video.

Yeah they where now that i remember that ahaha the mothership was so strong yet they nuked it

I really don't like those nuke targets. They're so freakin BIG! I like that small dot... keeps your enemy in a panic.

Lol yeah true but when i ment nuked it i mean like they made it weaker then what they showed it like how it stopped all those bullets and stuff which was epic but they took it out and the black hole doesnt kill units it just takes them away for awhile and then they come back >.<

Well, the nuke is powerful enough to kill off a mothership without a doubt. The black hole may be quite useful because damage is also being affected

Oh really didnt know that it damages too but thats cool

Yeah, it's like the templar's psionic storm.

The psionic storm is an ok move it doees the same damage which is cool on a normal game but not on a custom game cause it does barely anything to people

Five psionic storms in a row is like awesome. Especially against the Zerg.

Yeah they are but the problem is if its custom and they have high health it wont work very well unless they give you unlimited energy to spam and then it will do a barrel of good with clones
