I never bothered finishing the SC campaign without cheat codes. It's just too boring, the small squad stuff especially. BW was awesome though.
My biggest gripe about this game isn't how it compares visually to other RTS already out, but how RTS in general look. It's just really not impressive, no matter how it compares to C&C or CoH or whatever.
Well that and it seemingly took 10 years to remake the same game, but I'll reserve judgement till its out for that.

I wonder what order the campaigns will be played in. I wonder if they will eschew the whole order thing and make campaigns unlockable as you progress with one race or another.... interesting.
I still want to see just who and what Kerrigan is talking to during the Zerg campaign. Will she perhaps go for a dip at some evolution pools after a walk about the Hive? The possibilities!

I don't think I'll need another PC game ever again after Starcraft 2.

not even the SC2 Expansion?
Here are all the new details I could remember from the StarCraft Lore Panel at Blizzcon:
-Valerian Mengsk is introduced as Arcturus' son and heir to the Terran Dominion. Here's the the concept art of him.
-Arcturus has used his control over the media to paint Raynor as an untrustworthy outlaw.
-the Protoss have a new female executor named Selendus (sp?).
-the game picks up 4 years after Brood War. Oddly, no one has heard from the Zerg since then even though Kerrigan and the Zerg had nearly crushed all their enemies.
-after his encounter with Duran on the dark moon, Zeratul wanders the universe in search of evidence supporting Duran's statements. Based on the cutscene, it seems that he's found that evidence.
-Artanis is the central ruler of the Protoss who have since splintered apart into a more tribal society. He tries to keep the divided factions together. Some of them believe that they must retake Aiur immediately while others feel that such an endeavor is currently impossible.
-Chris Metzen said that even his fellow Blizzard employees have been pestering him to include Nova. He seemed a bit reluctant, but he did hint that Nova may make a cameo if he could find a way to include her that makes sense.

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
I hate Blizzard but this game is looking pretty cool. Story is an important but generally neglected part of strategy games. Even if Blizzard's settings and characters are derivative of other, better works, they have undeniable polish and detail.

blizzard seems more comfortable killing off protoss heroes than any other race lol

Ol' Jimmy wants Kerrigan dead...
But he better watch out for himself. I have a feeling he might meet his maker, and not by any Zerg. As for Kerrigan... she seems lonley. Who would be a good infestable playmate for her... hmn.

Read the thread. Someone mentioned that they are going to have something different for the Protoss and Zerg.WalkMan said:

I think the Protoss and Zerg campaigns will be different but have a similar concept to what they are doing with Terrans. I can totally see Kerrigan in a hive doing Zerg stuff while the Protoss commune telepathicly or something.

I can't wait for this game.
Hopefully my computer'll be able to run it at a decent level. It looks pretty.

I wonder what Kerrigan is planning though. I mean obviously she is bent on universe domination but this whole mysterious Zerg disappearance probably means something like invading other planets, infesting their creatures and supplanting the Zerg army for a massive sweep across the universe.
I dont know what to expect from Blizzard after all these years....just hope that it doesnt go "Ghost", and pray for a solid release date.
I have my quibs about point & click, i think it would get old if nothing interesting happens every time i return back to Hyperion. Hopefully the mission console is not the only thing that changes every mission.
Heh...to have interaction with npc's between battles, sounds like FFXII:RW on DS...

In one of the last missions in the Brood War Zerg campaign, you have to kill both General Duke and Fenix. When you kill Fenix, Raynor gets royally pissed off and promises that he will personally be the one to kill Kerrigan.

My first thought was wing commander. It was a good thought. Fleshed out singelplayer with awsome multiplayer?
Yeah this game is going to own everything. Blizzard are going to buy a couple of new countries with this one.
Hope sweden is one of them. :lol

It's a trick to lure in non-PC gamers.Borys said:
Im curious as to how the story will be played out. Will it be like in the past where you play one race and complete everything and then move on to the next race. Or will it be one large story where you can play any race you want and see the story unfold from different perspectives?
This game looks amazing.

JDSN said:I really hated doing that mission, the worst part is that I thought that some deus ex machina was going to appear to stop me from killing Fenix, but it never showed up.
When I first played through the BW campaign, it was with cheats, but I turned them off when I had to face Fenix. I remember him having some insane stats in that mission so he actually fought off my first few attacks until I simply flooded him with units, and then he went down fighting, tearing apart the swarms of units coming at him even as they each landed a hit or two before they died. I'm glad it wasn't a cheap way for him to die (

You know, I watched this again a short while ago -- cleaning out my video file from all the E3 shit left over yet -- and I think this is likely what I'm most looking forward to now. There's a lot of potential yet for what innovations they're bringing to Battle.net, so it's subject to change (and likely will), but for now... the single-player campaign potential is looking bad ass.
Especially since this came out of nowhere. I was expecting a great one, but not an extreme new feature like this. Makes you wonder what they have planned for Protoss and Zerg; they did say each campaign would be unique.
They likely see it as investment. They know some folks would prefer crazy new units, races, and graphics that the decision to stay true to the multiplayer will prevent. So how do you win those folks over? Awesome single-player features, cutscenes, and cgi movies.
