You guys just don't understand...

The marine tank composition was being caught unsieged. The viking sacrificed himself to buy valuable seconds for the tanks to get into siege mode. That extra round of tank shots probably killed hundreds of zerglings, it was a brilliant tactical maneuver.

They are not going to deal with the 'Team' vs 'Not team' problem in the 2s, 3s and 4v4s right? Negative point for Blizzard.

WELL it was a dream, likely i would say a memory of what she's done in the past - so there wouldn't be new units from hots yet? just a guess.

I'm curious if there will be a cinematic featuring Protoss more. There has not been a cinematic showing Protoss structures-units, only lonely Zerathul ;(
Hope there will be one in HoTS or at least in LoV in x ammount of years.

You are better off calling or going in person to see if they do. In some threads, people say that if you pre order at GameStop they print out the beta key on the receipt.

The Viking transformation reminds me of how Starscream transformed in the movie, lol.

I can't believe people are calling the intro epic or awesome.

I've never been so "meh" at a blizzard trailer before.

We basically just saw:
1. Three fighters attacking some gigantic mother ship (???)
2. Zerg A-moving into a siege line.

Coupled with some lame action beat in the background.



Last time we saw a marine being built and we though it was cool.



Yep. This is how marines are built every time you use the barracks:



All that epic stuff for 1 marine... that gets taken out by Zerglings 10 seconds later !

I remember the first time I watched that, throughout the entire thing my smile just kept getting wider and wider, then I lost it when the rax lit up again at the end. xD

I'm actually pretty excited for the new campaign. I really enjoyed WoL's single-player


Agreed. I actually like how it ended in a dream instead of the standing watching the army invade pose (especially after the somewhat typical villainous dialogue that is a bit cheesy actually).

So we are going with "it was a dream" at the end being what saved it? I see what you mean, but I also must play the snark and say that I feel that is a really bad sign. It reminds me of how the best way to try and make the ME3 end seem not so bad was to think of it as a dream via indoctrination theory.

I'm happy with some michael bay cinematics from Blizz. That is half the fun of the type of settings they work with. Those seem to be too many of them at this point though. I wish there was still more peter jackson and/or james cameron stuff. Where did the pre-wow warcraft related type stuff go, or bw? Maybe even some of that humorous terantino-like stuff from a couple of the original sc cinematics.

Really Hyped!! =D I would pay many times to see a StarCraft Movie haha cant wait to see all cinematics during the campain.

BTW: Who is these people drinking at 0:08 secs during the image distortion of "Blizzard"?? its like a hidden picture, watch it on HD and carefully pause it to be able to watch it.

To me, I see it as a big sign of things to come. If the whole cinematic was a simple 'lolol zerg is attacking terran lolol' then well, yeah, that has no big meaning apart from being an epic battle. The simple fact that this was a dream suddenly makes everyone want to find out what exactly is going on in Kerrigan's head; is she reformed but with flashes of her old Queen of Blades persona, does she have multiple personalities, etc?

because it's the intro, not the end. I'm sure we may see a cinematic at the end with vipers and swarm hosts, you have to get there first. remember, the cgi is campaign, not multiplayer.
