Co-op Commander: Mengsk
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- As the leader of the Sons of Korhal, Arcturus Mengsk brought about the destruction of the Terran Confederacy and went on to hold the Terran Dominion within his cold-hearted grasp. As a co-op commander, Mengsk radiates an intimidating, tyrannical atmosphere to enforce his will with total impunity.
Can't wait to leavemy Kerrigan ally dying, while i abandon the game.
Now this one needs more thumbs
lmfao
Too soon.. xD
Someone's been playing StarCraft original!!
*Kerrigan gets captured by enemies again*
*Comes back as Protoss Dragoon*
Raynor: "Mother of god... What have they done to you this time?"
Kerrigoon: "I am one of the Protoss now, and I love what I am..."
*Mengsk's passive is called: "Break the Laws of the Geneva Convention".*
Lmao
Pretty sure Mengsk would say this when you ask him about that:
"That rule only apply on Earth son, now watch me break every last one of them"
Or simply this:
"What geneva convention?"
”I don't listen to hip hop.”
In space there is no Geneva
Lol geneva suggestion
"With a barrage of 41 warheads, because 40 is just not enough."
What a beautiful moment.
Me playing Raynor: I'M CALLING DOWN THE HYPERION!
Mengsk in game: Oh so you do use it for things other than the bar.
Underrated comment!
"Controversial tatics"
Did someone say "war crimes"?
its only a warcrime when someones alive to accuse.
Depends on "who won the fight".)
*Laughs in no witnesses*
Laughs in acceptable causualities
can't be a war crime if you're the victor
How's is no one taking about the fact that Kevin was brought back to do the voice over for the Mengsk and Deathwing trailers for StarCraft and Heroes of the Storm respectively. His voice over is the best reason why these trailers sound so good.
More than half the comments were about Kevin in the Deathwing trailer lol. He really cemented his legacy with HotS, moreso than SC2.
I totally agree with you, I love Kevin's voice!
It's more likely he already did this before he left.
he talked on his twitter how he will not be working on dev stuff anymore, but will be lending his voice. which is still fine by me :)
@@imcrazyforwar Yes!
Ranking units?
Earning abilities from combat?
I see Mengsk was a man of C&C culture as well.
Now if Mengsk had Vikings with Japanese accents, and Marauders that shoot lightning.
@@ericjeon2727 Mecha-tengu from RA3 are basicly Vikings 1-to-1. Blizzard definietly could take some insipiration form that.
as do we all glacier as do we all.
@@ericjeon2727 mecha viking top speed.
I'll be sorting through your scraps.
Mengsk: *AH WILL ROOL THIS SECTUH OR SEE IT BURNT TO ASHES ROUND ME* *Launches 41 Nuke Barrage*
:D :D :D
I heard that on his voice
Ashes it is, then.
U can not place structures on creep!!
Mengsk: WATCH ME!!
Who else read it in Mengsk voice ?
You could always do that in coop...
@@teodorescup i heard it using duke siege tank voice.
Turns out the creep rule was just a union based building code, not a physical structural limitation imposed by creep.
@@teodorescup I mean thats the point right?
Little did we know, this was the last Co-op commander. :(
Fr we may never get other commanders. Rip specter commander
@@michalmikes5286Rip tosh and valerian.
"Earthshaker cannon ready"
I like me some imperial guard
dude when you think about it Mengsk is just a imperial guard governor
he loves artillery over the top nukes and abillities and a lot of sacrifical troops
WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOM !
When in doubt, throw more men at it
SHATTER THEIR SKIES!
This scrub doesn't have the Baneblade
Player: *uses workers to attack
SCV: what? You’ve run out of marines?
Dominion Laborer: No, we *are* the marines!
It is communism basically
Some Combine its basically any normal country where army is there to defend a country, and not invade other countries.
FOR THE MAN EMPEROR OF MANKIND! FOR THE IMPERIUM!
Your comment is so underrated :D, honestly one of the best ones here
@@NameName2.0 FOR THE EMPERAAAAH BROTHER!!!
FOR HOLY TERRA!!!
BURN IN HOLY NUKES!!!
Cheap, plentiful infantry with powerful mechanical units and terrifying arty...
He's the Imperial Guard in SC2 lol.
FIX BAYONETS!!!
IT IS THE BAENBLEDE
Blizzard literally stole that from Warhammer 40k.
@@WarbossR0kt00fSant0s It's not like it's that original. 40k is just Dune combined with Starship troopers. If anything SC copied Starship troopers when they made mengsk.
Playing as some kind of Space-Stalin, sounds fun :D
That's my Idea, too! ^^ However if you connect him with Matt's Bo,ber Squadrons Fighter... WW2 in Sci - fi climate!
The ONE place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism!
*SHPAHHSSEE!!!*
Make it Space-StalinHitler.
Ya mean Stukov?
blizzard wants to side with the commies
"If one falls, ten more will take his place!"
"Capturing it was easy. HOLDING it, will be hard!"
"Someone call for an EarthShaker?"
"The tanks! Where are the BLOODY TANKS?!"
My thoughts exactly
Have no fear men, the emperor is with us this day!
Those are Eldar? Thought they be taller.
FOR THE MAN-EMPEROR OF THE MANKIND!!!
Fear ensures loyalty. Where do you need me?
Give me men and i will show you order
After trying Mengsk out , I wonder what part of him is described as a “defensive commander “
Preemptive defense
Best defense is ofense
don't need no defense when enemies are gone
@@tamnam5722bunkers are defensive structures so dropping 4 into the enemies backline is defending
Ironically, he ended up being so defensive, some attack maps he can finish in defense.
Canonically Mengsk is one of the greatest tactical geniuses who ever lived.
Yes
Who here knows about the Sieged Siege Tank on a Battlecruiser's airlock? I thought it was epic when I read it in the books. Freaking wide smile on my face as I read it.
@@KeViNZP sorry, what?? Please please go into detail!
@@thepurplepanda4 I don't remenber when and where it happened but siege tank on BC was used to shoot at another BC
if you read the books Mengsk is very cunning and calculating, its too bad they turned him into a mad maniac with hitler-like tendencies in SC2
Will he have custom voice lines when paired up with Kerrigan?
One can only hope
Custom voice lines aren't uncommon.
Example: Play as Alarak on the Chain of Ascension Co-Op Map and Ji'nara's dialogue changes.
@@kadindarklord Same with Stetman on Mist Opportunities.
It would be cool to see some dialogue between them since SHE killed him, along with Raynor too. Maybe something that kind of relates to how she wants to kill him and he's like "Don't even try you monster"
Probably not...... We still don’t have any interaction between two commander, I mean, Raynor and tychus don’t have any additional voice line
For those of you who didn't see Mengsk showcased at Blizzcon, look carefully at the flying siege tanks in the background 2:18. They hit air units.
Yes~ if they are lifted by a medivacs, while still in siege mode, they can hit air units.
I wonder do they have splash? :D
"40 is just not enough."
Was that a jab at Warhammer 40K?
HERESY!
Well..The 40K universe take place in the 41st millenium.
@@olrox3644 Yep so this is more of a nod rather than a jab tbh
Well, I hadn't got 'till you said it.
EXTERMINATUS MY HONOROUBLE BATTLE BORTHER!!!
@@doctormelgarejo7258 SPACE MAHREEENSSSS BATTLE BRADDAS!
The whole bit of the conscripts picking up the weapons of the fallen reminds me of Stalingrad Riverbank in Call of Duty 1.
"The man with the rifle shoots! The man without the rifle follows! When the man with the rifle is killed, the man without the rifle picks up the rifle and shoots!"
For some reason, that line stuck out for me.
The reason Mengsk started his revolution in the first place was cause the Confeds destroyed Korhal with hundreds of nukes. What a hypocrite.
I love it!
Welll, he doesn't use hundreds. Only 41
Death Korps of Krieg: *happy shovel noises*
:(
Probably closest thing we are ever going to get to a 40k krieg themed RTS
@@skylark306 Try CoH using only WWI tactics or the Ultimate Apocalypse mod for Dawn of War.
2:20 (left)
Terran: Tanks are not OP anymore!
Menks: How about Air Tanks?
Terran: ...
Ah yes yes, defensive Commander. Of course.
good old defensive wars that suspiciously end in gaining more territory
"Play Mengsk in coop of you want to have ridiculously long queue times because everyone else is playing Mengsk"
This Co-op Commander reminds me to Dawn of War, where you can equip your units with special weapons and reinforce morality with sergeants
i personally am waiting for tosh but i have to say the play-style of mengsk is interesting.
lots of poor trained well equipped soldiers and few yet high trained elite soldiers is quite the army.
Then I'd like to see niadra (the one from the protoss ship)
@@Ebiko i would like to see karass the one in the protoss minicampaign on the terran campaign
not just poorly trained, the trooper don't even get the combat suit like the marines
@@ericjeon2727 marines are just inmates with no training either.
Han and horner basiccly
Anyone else getting those Command and Conquer vibes with those unit rank-ups?
Yeh
Getting Halo Wars vibes tbh
This commander is actually based on two mechanics from Warcraft 3: Hero units and the human Call to Arms.
I do miss the individual unit talent progression mechanic from C&C. This is a cool callback.
@@Umbra_of_Emberspike search for: The Protectors, Warzone 2100, Battle for Wesnoth.
this commander feels very warhammerish style
Which part?
1. The 41 nuke within 20 meter radius range
2. High amount of mortality
3. Emperor
4. Fanatic Follower
@@maskedqiu Yes.
Basically.
It's classic conscript n' artillery Imperial Guard mixed with Custodes and demo version of exterminatus
New terran patch. So they can finally beat serral
Beat Zerg*
Serral is the insane Zerg Player!
Spoilers: Serral lost the last WCS tournament
That Suki guy play the game?
I don't even play this game but I know Serral 😄
Michael McCuen you must be high or something. SERRAL? NOT WINNING?
Ah hearing Kevin again is so awesome
That warhammer 40k joke
@@korpannor3010 watered down and politically correct is slightly different
Infantry is literally imperial guardsmen and 41 nukes is Exterminatus
@@sovietheavy5500 Yes, the infantry is practically the same as the Imperium of Man soldiers in Dawn of War, but Exterminatus would be a little bit more than 41 nukes, it could be thousands or millions maybe? I don't know, but all life in the planet is eradicated, not just a sector, it would be GG for both sides, but no one would be left to type "GG".
Additional note: usually they use Cyclonic torpedoes, as they are so powerful even one may be enough to incinerate all life in the surface or blow the planet from its core
@@SrMorua i know that its more than 41 nukes but its made for balance it would be op when nukes wipe out everything on map
Also royal guard looks like custodes.
KEVIN YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I've missed that voice.
Can you tell me who is this Kevin? Thanks
He narrated the heroes of the storm hero spotlights. He was unfortunately let go by blizzard but it seems he has just recently reprised his role. This is great because his voice is beloved by many
“Because 40 isn’t enough” I love it. The snark
Literally the Imperial Guard. 10/10.
SC2 still innovating, so many years later. This is seriously impressive!
They took the idea from Command and Conquer and Warhammer 40K Dawn of War, is not innovation, however is still fun.
How is this innovation? Command and Conquer has done this for so many years.
Which parts? I was mostly responding to the ability for new soldiers to pick up the upgrades and abilities of the dead soldiers. I thought that was really cool.
I haven't played a CC game since Red Alert 2 and I wasn't aware that it was a part of that franchise, sorry.
@@Tangvu C&C Generals GLA faction does pick up scraps from fallen vehicles to upgrade itself
Wait are those siege tanks firing while being carried by drop ships?
Yes, yes they are, and they can fire at air units while like that
yes they are lol
@@RiggsEclipse I would assume it doesn't do much damage to a single air unit seeing that it's in siege mode
@@hamburgerofdoom No clue but at Blizzcon they showed 3 of em taking out a couple broodlords in like two shots lol
@@RiggsEclipse the siege tanks are taking their revenge on the air units lol
This gives me hope that maybe we will see Tassadar as a playable Commander, or the Overmind
tassadar as controller of the overmind :D (as he's being imitated by the xel Naga)
Give me big daddy Overmind
david kim as a coop commander.. that will make the zerg more powerful 🤦♂️
The overmind with all Starcraft 1 units ❤️
These are all good candidates for co-op commanders, but everyone's forgetting the most obvious one.
FIREBAT JACK FROST, MILITARY GENIUS
me: nah, there won't be any more badass commander
Blizzard: *hold my lighter*
FOR IMPERIUM OF MAN
FOR EVERY ONE OF US THAT FALLS TEN MORE TAKES HIS PLACE
TODAY, THE EMPEROR IS WATCHING US!!!
WE ARE THE RULERS OF THE STARS!!!
KILL THE XENO!!!
Wait your telling me this isn't 40k?
Some random guy from the beyond nope, it was supposed to be, but Games Workshop backed out. So Starcraft is just heavily inspired by it, but not directly linked to 40k
_"We'll see you... in the Nexus"._
Oh wait, wrong game.
Finally I can play as Bobby Kotick
Me : *Plays mengsk*
Kerrigan : *Team kills*
Me: I tHoUgHt wE wEre FrIeNds!!!!11!!!1
Oh look, they finally added in the Command & Conquer mechanics into Starcraft 2!!!!
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, in C&C starting Tiberium Sun, your troops can be upgraded to Veteran and Elite status. While Veteran status have no major effects, Elite status gives the units a major firepower and attack speed boost. Say in Red Alert 2, if you have 3 Elite rank Apocalypse Tank, it is enough to destroy an entire base. Plus, they can heal themselves. It is pretty overpowered but it takes a long time to get to that point. Apocalypse Tanks are overpowered units by itself next to the Kirovs.
SC2 is actually C&C in spirit since Dustin Browder actually worked on Red Alert 2 and Generals, so it is a pretty good comparison.
I love this commander so much! I hope we get brood war commanders next like the Overmind or a UED commander.
You see... his calldowns seem kinda strong
They run on a kind of energy similar to Protoss Spear of Adun calldowns, but Mengsk's energy doesn't regenerate on its own. They're strong because you have to consciously work for it.
@@Envy_Dragon Yeah that seems pretty fair imo
Seems like you need to play him "defensively", until it's time to bring down 41 warheads upon your enemy.
EnvyDragon * laughs in propaganda airship above every base *

Imperial guardsman: “SHOW UP AT THEIR LEFT FLANK AND KEEP FIRING”
Other commanders: Are original with good concepts and are campaign accurate
Mengsk: *ME IS STALIN*
Now do the "COOP COMMANDER; DERP-FESTOR FROM STARCRAFTS"
Using a mix of units and ability combos from all 3 races. 😁
That is done by Stetmann, right? The mecha battlecarrier lord is the prime proof.
That could be a good commander that's playable only on April Fools.
Truly, the most fearsome of all commanders.
derp-festor have an ability no command have: he can comand unit over 200 supply :v
SC: Mengsk
Friendly Fire: * exists *
You know what they say: "If you cant beat them, NUKE THEM !"
During the forced conscription ability i wasnt paying attention, so i thought the bunker drop pods were landing on the zerg and were going to forcibly conscript them
Those tanks were shooting from the medivacs that is just gorgeous
Command & Conquer meets StarCraft. Leveling up units, flamethrower infantry...
And a "Scud Storm", but without the damsge overtime
@@korpannor3010 YEAH COMRADE!!! CUZ NUKES ARE BETTER THAN AN EXTERMINATUS!!!
(im liying mate, press the big red boton)
@@ME262MKI The Contaminated Strike is basically a SCUD Storm.
Ok, Blizzard truly knows how to surprise people with their commanders.
from the time when the co-op mode is released I always wanted to play as Mengsk, though I thought it'd be somewhat difficult to become true. well the dream is finally here. you can finally play as the old terran dominion itself.
Would love to see Warfield as a Coop commander.
Edit: Another idea is Niadra, the queen that commanders the Protoss ship in HOTS. Her story is expanded upon in the comics, but she is left with no way to communicate with Kerrigan. She could be the equivalent of Stukov with infested Protoss and buffed up psionic abilities.
That could actually be very interesting! Make his tech kind of a callback to SC1 Terran, since he's an older commander, but maybe also make them similar to Protoss with the higher cost but higher strength units because it's an army of old veterans. Make Warfield himself a playable hero since he seems like a lead from the front kinda guy, toss in some appropriate special abilities and mega units, voila!
Glass Wolf That’s a solid design. Perhaps not as technology or speciality focused as Nova, but frontline units that are tougher and do more damage then standard M&M with beefed up tanks. And he’s definitely a fight from the front guy. Have him with his cybernetic arm with multiple attack forms. I really like that idea.
*FOR THE EMPEROR*
The Emperor protects.
ADVANCE BROTHERS!!!
For Emperor and Imperium!
For each of us who falls ten more would take his place!
Early squad, where you at?!
I'm so early, I found out that you can already purchase him.
Reminds me of the WC3 Human Worker changed to become Militia
41 warhead?! That is ONE warhead short of perfection!
what about 41M?
wait...
That just means he ALMOST had an answer to everything.
Love me some starcraft, barely any mention of it at blizzcon.
feels like starcraft is being out to the wayside, sad ppurifier noises
I need to start playing this game again. This is absolutely insane. The last time I was interested in SC2 was when Stukov came out.
"smells Warhammer 40k"
That earthsplitter ordnance should be what Zagara's bio-launchers should be come on guys
Kerrigan vs protoss army
Kerrigan : mengsk need ur help
Mengsk : captain prepare the army and get out to my signal
Kerrigan : stupid mengsk
Mengsk left the game
If it were on steam, there would be an achievement for that.
I can’t wait to play as Mengsk because Whenever I would get paired up with a Raynor or Kerrigan commander in co-op and start immediately Start trolling them with something he would normally say.
All of these commanders should be in the normal PvP game.
would be fun if they made a mode just for commanders pvp
@@nihil5892 there is a mod for it go to custom games then find mod type in co op commander
Bad idea, many of them are completely broken for a PvP match
@@ME262MKI I disagree. Thats one of the fun parts, to see how ridiculous a game could be.
@@nihil5892 the thing is it wouldn't be that lond
I know I am not the only one getting mix of C&C: Red Alert 2(or 3) and W40K IG with this commander. Not that it is a bad thing, but I hope the units have a slight change of dialogue for them.
Also, I kind of wish it was 42 warheads instead of 41, along with a line after dropping the nukes being, "Don't forget your towel." but that would be an obscure reference.
Imagine play Mengsk with Raynor or Kerrigan as ally, hahaha this gonna be fun!
I want a Lord Commander, like Ornatov ;-;
Instead of flashlights, the Dominion infantry are equipped with pebble throwers
I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me
Turning "We have reserves" into an actual playstyle
OMG FINALLY A NEW COMMANDER!!!!
Han and Horner - commanders of (My) Dominion Fleet
Abathur, Dehaka, Zagara - just another uncontrollable zerg swarm
Nova - my special agent
Reynor summons Hyperion - carefull with my ship, Jim
Tycus - remember whos holding your collar))
any others - thank you for your service
Kerrigan... Emperor knows the perfect moment to retreat.
So we've got space-Stalin, are there any significant terran artists in the StarCraft Universe???
Ok i dont play SC2 now but i got to admit all those ideas are very fitting to Mengs. Actually pretty good job!
:DDDDDD
Time to show Amon How the Dominion does it! ÒwÓ
I cannot stop seeing all the Warhammer 40K Dawn of War references in this video
Finally! More content and maps pls? lol
Cool commander! Hoping to see more releases. These trailers are fire!
you won't he was the last one
Let me guess another “what if’s” commander like with that convict friend of raynor and zeratul?
That's what most of the Co-Op commanders are. 'What if" commanders.
Half the roster are dead characters by now
Next, we’ll get Tosh or Edmund Duke lol
If we're there already, why Not make Narud a Commander next?
@@luminousdelight5097 I'd prefer Duran
(don't think they ever explained the Duran - Narud thing)
thats kevin voice the announcer from HOTS. Is he back in in Blizzard now? Im so happy!
They remembered they have money it seems
Finally, the only character that matters in this universe. "Controversial", hah. More like everyone else is doing it wrong
Kerrigan matters a lot because she killed off like half of the beginning cast. Jimmity matters because he has more plot armour than a Zerg egg.
@@Kilesfactor Mengsk matters because he has a fanbase. Nobody can unironically call himself a Kerrigan fan.
Raynor... Maybe.
Tychus is way better.
@@heatseeker9573 I mean, Kerrigan is like Sindel in MK11; unredeemable trash fire with legs. why would you want to be a fan of that lol.
I liked when Raynor was just a dude with a bike / gun / big ole ship
YES!! Best early Christmas gift.
Mengsk looks to play a lot like Command and Conquer which i have no disagreements with
Also omg kevin's still here
"Check out how cool our new Terran co-op commander is!"
*Literally all the cinematic footage is of the Terrans getting absolutely dumpstered*
Waiting on it for a long time :D
REMEMBER, IF THE MAN IN FRONT OF YOU FALLS, TAKE UP HIS RIFLE
*when ;)
Wow, that sounds fun. Im guessing its only in Co-Op?
Since they are throwing in a lot of "what if" commanders now, I'd like to see Selendis and the Golden Armada. Protoss with aircraft focus!
When’s the next coop commander
Never. Support was dropped. SC2 in maintenance mode.
Tosh will be the next Co-Op Commander.
We need longer COOP missions!
Wonder if he'll be as buggy as Stetmann at launch. Otherwise, looks good
Super Kim of Space. The guardian,saviour, and Glorious supreme leader of Terran.
I Wish Tosh Is A Co-op Commander.
Honestly, if Arcturus Mengsk's units become skins I would buy that right on the spot
Wait, THE BOYS are marines now?!
What do you mean by THE BOYS? I'm not familiar with that reference.
@@syweb2 workers
Quite some new game mechanics here, like veterancy. Are we looking at an upcoming StarCraft 3 in the making. I do hope so.
