Has anyone noticed that the perhaps Blizzard screwed up when they made the Scout and the Wraith?

What I'm talking about is this... the Scout's ground attack sounds like 5 bullets hitting something, and the air attack looks a lot like the Goliath missiles, while the Wraith has like a laser beam attack.


Who else thought that Terran was the one with projectile weapons while Protoss had the Laser like attacks?

That's what a tracer round looks like, sort of. And are there any other protoss lasers? Not really. Also the bullets are blue and look a lot like the energy crap that zealot blades/probe attack/dragoon ball has.

Wait really?

I'm a partially colorblind so I never noticed that.

I guess, but still they behave like I think a Terran ship should behave... like the sound seriously sounds like the marine attack sound.

Terran gets the lasers (wraith, BC) and protoss gets the blue stuff.

yeah..
protoss pretty much doesn't have a single laser attack lol (i guess interceptors sort of count)
it's all just blue energy stuff

also clearly i play too much hon now.. since i was thinking of the sand wraith and scout heroes after reading the title >.<

What i wonder is how is it a " scout " when 2 of those can wreck a BC
And it cost like a damn capital ship

Yeah man. Antimatter Missiles (The Scout's Air Attack) are like glowing blue missiles.
Pretty cool if you ask me.

It's unfortunate that the scout is so useless, considering it has some of the more cool attack animations in the game.
Oh well, time to go do some 2 stargate scout games in iccup then.

I did think it odd when I first started playing that the Scout had what appeared to be bullets while the Wraith had lasers. So there.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

In the cinematics I don't think a wraith ever used the air to air missiles either. They were firing the lasers against air/space targets.

They fucked up by making Scouts useless. 4 scouts can't kill a fucking probe. WTF.

I find this hilarious. And I always found it weird that Scouts were called Scouts when they don't actually scout anything...
this is my quote.

To be fair, they might be what the Protoss race uses to scout with lore-wise. But looking at the unit ingame it's a bit strange indeed.
