160Field manual
- Light infantry that can attack both air and ground targets.
- Well-rounded unit suited for a wide range of combat situations.
- Cheap to produce but fragile. Strong in numbers and when backed up with different units like Marauders, Hellions, Siege Tanks, Medivacs, etc.
- Position them on high ground and choke points whenever possible.
- Can go inside bunkers for protection and a range increase.
- Vulnerable to splash damage from Colossi, Psi Storm, Siege Tanks, etc.
Tech Lab Upgrades
- Combat Shield: Marines gain +10 hit points.
- Stimpacks: Combat stimulants that increase movement and attack speed at the expense of health.
Countermeasures
VS Terran
- Place bunkers in key places to stop enemy Marines.
- Hellions are good against Marines.
- Build a few Tanks and use Siege Mode.
VS Zerg
- Get Roaches; they are quite hardy and decimate Marines.
- Research Metabolic Boost and surround them in the open with a large group of Zerglings.
- Use other units to draw their fire and send Banelings in from different directions.
- Ultralisks are an excellent counter, as are Brood Lords using terrain to their advantage.
VS Protoss
- Attack with a large group of Zealots. Try to surround the Marines. Charge is very useful.
- Build a few Sentries. Use Guardian Shield to protect your warriors, and Force Field to separate enemy troops or block their escape route.
- The Colossus can be devastating against Marines, as can the High Templar’s Psionic Storm ability.

should be atleast 0.8975 minimum, they need to nerf its dps by atleast 4% its too good in the late game as it just shoots way too fast.
you probably won't agree because your all terran here, but a 0.0300 attack speed decrease should probably be implied asap because its gone far too long and people haven't even taken a look at this units huge dps for its cost.
It seems to me or their counterpart in Warcraft,the Night Elven Archers are not as good?
Ever heard of mechas? or did you think that for example a marauder is just a giant? or the thor? No sir these are mecha suits not just armor as in the middle age
The best Marine quote in game. I actually heard it for the 1st time in campaign mission "Zero Hour", where you have to evac troops with the relic, I was doing the "kill 4 hatcheries" achievement and was randomly clicking on my Marines and one threw this quote at me and I bursted in laugh so hard, I fell of chair rolling on the floor and failing the achievement :-O
- where's the counter?
would be good for you
