Fixed that for you. The Marine proportions are off because Adeptus Astartes are rather bulkier than normal humans, and changing that would have required Blizzard to make an original IP.

40k is Warhammer in space and Warhammer is a rip off of Tolkein.

-marine suit proportions
-how marines go to the bathroom
-where the suit gets its energy
-what happens if marine needs to itch his butt

I noticed and figured this out too. I just didn't think anyone else thought it was odd (because i never heard of ANYONE else mentioning it)

Well first of all, look at Tychus, the guy's huge!

The chest frame seemed fine, the head being low seems like it's because he's looking thriugh the chest frame, it actually seems pretty ok to me.

But damn, that is a biiiiig gause rifle right there.
Why does it say I'm (slightly) favored? I suck!

I still like to think that trailer is what's going on inside a barracks while you're training a marine.

Does anyone else think the terrans should invent some sort of much better alloy to make their marine suits out of? If a broodling can get through what looks like at least 2 inches/5 cm of steel then either the zerg all have super strength or the terrans are doing armor wrong.

The zerg DO have super strength. A single zergling is probably stronger than a rhino.

what about this? XD


Do you have any idea what sort of injuries would result from you keeping your shoulders/trap muscles in that position constantly? I think they would literally be unable to move their necks and lose sensation in their arms after a day or two.

Then the Vikings must be piloted by contortionists lol :p

And General Warfield had a meta-morphing arm/blaster in the cinematic before the last mission.

Terran future fictional technology, anything illogical can become a logical weapon of war.

It's likely that Warfield lost use of his arm in the cinematic right before that one -- a hydra spine went through his forearm.

This isn't WH40K?


You're right, the Protoss aren't the Eldar, the Zerg aren't Tyranids and Terran definitely aren't Adeptus Astartes...it's not litke the blue armor has anything to do with Ultramarines.

:D

Blizzard stole the idea for the races years ago, it's pretty much common knoledge by now

What I find more odd is that they do not fit the armored glove onto their hand, but rather as an extension which they control.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.
