ummmm ,when did Blizzard ever say these 3 campaign missions were single player?
isn't this title misleading?

campaign does not mean single player... it could be co-op or archon mode... or who knows what.

They should market LotV with "no mention of essence". Sales would go through the roof.

in a final big marketing push for Legacy of the Void and in keeping with Blizzard's penchant for booking over the hill closing musical acts how about we get Duran Duran for Blizzcon 2016?

It's not only the difficulty. It's like forcing the player to think what strat should he use etc. On hots none of that mattered, you won every map by building zerglings and a-moving them (or any other unit, didn't matter).

Blizzard is going ot have to employ every trick in Bobby Kotick's marketing play book to repeat that performance at a full box price for LotV.

did WoL employ any pre-order shenanigans? i don't think so.


They offered beta access too.


i do not think so.
source?

all it required was a BNet account.
i got into the Beta in week 1 due to Blizzcon 2009 attendance.
i think it was a scratch card that revealed a Key code.

on another note, this prologue campaign will be a great way for Blizzard to show off any "team work" campaign features.
the last co-op mode campaign i played was Red Alert 3 ; it was hella fun and a great way to introduce new people to RTS.


The source is me. I preordered WoL collector on amazon and got my betakey from there.

Searched a little and found this : https://www.reddit.com/r/StarCraft_on_Mac/duplicates/bxre3/preorder_starcraft_2_at_amazon_and_get_beta_key/

I have to agree with that. SC1 and BW campaigns were fun to play, but nowhere near hard.

WoL is the best campaign so far for me. HotS was a dissapointing, only saved by Abathur and Zagara as a characters. Those two have much more depth than the new Kerrigan.

I must say I liked the WoL campaign in terms of difficulty, it was demanding, but it was also kind of boring most of the time.
A good 90% of the missions could be solved with mass marines + medics / medivacs. There usually was no answer to that because in the campaign the enemies rarely, if ever, used splash damage. And the few times they did it was easy to counter since it was always one lonely colossus, or ht or 2 banelings or what not.

Furthermore WoL had horrible logical mistakes and inconsistencies within its campaign. You needed to not think about the lore in that game or your head started to hurt.
But it was still 100 times better then HotS. I wanna be honest, I got HotS, I wanted to play the campaign, until this date I didnt play it through.
I just had to stop after a few hours because it was so mind-bogglingly stupid that I felt physical pain while playing it.


On the other hand, the BW campaign was really thought out and the story was great. But it was kind of easy. I can remember the last SC1 mission gave you one base in the top right with 4 gas geysers. FOUR FUCKIN GEYSERS.
It was 48 archons all the way to victory.
But at least the enemy attacked with like 20 ultralisk armies.

I think that we all know which one it is. It was definitely annoying when I was 10, but in hindsight, WoL and HotS at least had difficulty settings, so it wasn't that easy the first time around.

I recently beat WoL and HotS on Brutal difficulty, and HotS took me basically one 8-hour marathon to complete. I'm not sure t\why it didn't take too long, but I suspect that it's because I got powerful units much earlier than compared to WoL.

It might've also been due to the fact that the upgrades are a lot more important for Marines, compared with the zerg units in single-player.

I remember finishing the last protoss mission in the SC1 campaign in 8 hours and 35 minutes. Because I was playing in normal speed AND I had no idea how the macro worked.

Then you can just rush it in less than 15 mins.

The first time I played the zerg campaigns I would retreat to "heal" my troops. Missions lasted hours because I never made any extra workers (I had skipped the terran campaign and was comparing workers to harvesters in Dune II)
