I'll post something seriously, even though it is true...A bunch of HALO Spartans in some Extremis Iron Man suits...A lot of Specimen 6's with bazookas...The Jesse James Gang with M-16's...A regiment of Necrons, perhaps?...A clan of Predators that have Omni-Casters?...

Guest ricrery Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 You should first post what the Terran Marines are capable of, so we know what we have to match. Well here is an analysis for the gauss rifle. I'm not too sure by I think in one cutscene the spikes bounce right off a Marine's armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the atom Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thankfully rice, I have an actual reply. The truth is there are many types of infantry that would stack up against the terran marine. First and foremost, the 40k space marine would easily trump nearly any number of terran marines that were thrown at him thanks to highly superior training, enhancement, genetics, firepower, and support. Second, we have the starship troopers. not the ones from the film adaptation (those guys rank below storm troopers), but the ones from the original novel, who are said to have heavy armor (High powered slugs bounced off them), heavier firepower (shoulder mounted nukes anyone?), and mobility (jetpacks. always the jetpacks). Third, the zone troopers from c&c 3. Basically the same design but with jetpacks and railguns. Fourth, the fremen from dune. They have far better protection then terran marines and they are far more competent warriors. nothing a terran marine has can really hold a candle to a lasgun, and their gauss rifles and other weapons would be useless against shields. I also feel the need to mention again that their competence and skill are their greatest assets, and was what enabled them to conquer the entire known universe, defeating armies who possessed the exact same weapons as they did. The terran marines, while the they look and act like badasses, are not that high on the scale of ass kicking future soldiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as I recall the marines seem to get slaughtered by hydralisks in every cutscene where they are shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kainboa Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I fail to see how that scene in anyway shows that a marine can withstand Hydralisk spikes, the only thing it shows, is that the Marine armor can withstand at least one shot from their own Gauss rifle. Since we've actually seen other scenes, where Hydralisk spikes penetrate Marine armor, the only thing we've learned is that the marine Gauss rifle, is less effective than the Hydralisk Spikes.

Guest the atom Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 A: that was a gauss rifle B: the armour never reflected it. He took the shot in the armour's large bulky shoulders and used the force from the shot to spin around and shoot tychus. Earlier on it shows terran marines getting wrecked by hydralisks who's shots travel several times slower (visibly anyways, I could be wrong). As I said the terran marines really don't stack up well in the grand scheme of badass space soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ricrery Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 A: that was a gauss rifle Yes, because I totally stated otherwise. B: the armour never reflected it. "archaic : to turn into or away from a course : deflect2: to prevent passage of and cause to change direction <a mirror reflects light>3: to bend or fold back4: to give back or exhibit as an image, likeness, or outline : mirror <the clouds were reflected in the water>5: to bring or cast as a result <his attitude reflects little credit on his judgment>" I'm sure it didn't. He took the shot in the armour's large bulky shoulders and used the force from the shot to spin around and shoot tychus. No, he didn't. If he did, there wouldn't have been a pause. We see he's unmoved after the spike hits and only in the next scene does he turn to fire. Earlier on it shows terran marines getting wrecked by hydralisks who's shots travel several times slower (visibly anyways, I could be wrong). The same Hydralisk spines which can puncture a starship's armor? Oh yes, those spines. As I said the terran marines really don't stack up well in the grand scheme of badass space soldiers. And yet they are incredibly powerful considering their numbers and role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Hydralisk spines which can puncture a starship's armor? Oh yes, those spines. And yet they are incredibly powerful considering their numbers and role. As all good politicians say, I misspoke. Yes, my grammar was a bit off but you know what I meant. Regardless of whether or not Raynor did use some of that force for his spin around, (which judging by his angle and speed, I'd say he used a bit of it) is ultimately irrelevant to the argument I suppose. However, it is quite clear that his armor was penetrated. Due to it's large size I doubt he was injured, but his armor was nevertheless vulnerable to guass fire. If it wasn't how would the Terran be able to kill each other without the assistance of heavy weapons and, more importantly, why would Tychus even bother raising his weapon? Compared to most of the other soldiers I listed, the marines are little more then cheap cannon fodder. While they do have the potential to be powerful, they lack the skill or proper training to list as one of the big players. I'd rank them down with the gears from gears of war.

Guest thanosisawesome Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Um, lots of infantry. ZEALOTS, from their own game would be one example. Starship Troopers, as already stated, are extremely powerful from the novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
