I liked the story and feel the most nostalgia from WoL, but I also really loved and had a lot of fun with Kerrigan and her leveling system in HotS. Voted HotS

I love LotV, it's the best one. The music is soooooo good. Alarak has become my favourite Starcraft character. There was cool gameplay innovations. Difficulty was good. Story was while I didn't follow it super closely, not glaringly bad. It really hit the Protoss feel right on the nose, they did an incredible job on that. The Prologue was dog shit. Wings was good, with a very thought out achievement system and it obviously set the bar, so I don't have too much to say about this installment. HotS was really dull, the story wasn't good and the difficulty was the lowest and by this point we even had gotten some SC2 skills from playing Wings. Supersaiyan Kerrigan also kind of took away from the strategic calls you had to do.. With how low the difficulty was there was almost no strategy and became super dull. I'm pretty sure I beat the final mission on Brutal and with all mission achievements at the same time and one of them was winning the game in 5 min or so. This was even without really knowing what the mission was about.. Yikes.. There are also some of the music tracks that I don't like.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

I voted for WoL, but a part of it might be due to the fact that sc2 itself felt so marvelously glorious to me at the time.

HotS was for sure to easy, but it was IMO way ahead of the other two in terms of just general fun and interesting gameplay. The leveling and upgrade system for Kerrigan and the swarm was so well done.

Easily WoL, I played it over and over. When HoTS came I was very disappointed. Kerrigan totally OP.. well, I felt somewhat cheated I suppose. My expectations were very high and HoTS didn't live up to it. LoTV was ok, for sure more interesting than HoTS, but also nothing special I felt. Maybe I should give it another go. I'm playing HoTS again right now every now and then.

Not included in the vote is the Nova Covert Ops mini campaign. I thought that one was really good! I wish Blizzard would make more of those. I'd pay for it.

Enjoyed HotS the most. The levelling system made it more interesting than WoL. Last campaign was pretty bland I feel. Though by the time the last campaign came out I had stopped playing the game, so that might influence it.

The fact that HotS was testing for the other HOTS was very slap in the face. LoV had no story...at all. WoL was at least coherent

In Hots Dehaka was JarJar Bings for me.
I hated the scripting in Lotv, like if you split your army 3 ways and start to explore missions you just trigger all the triggers at once and get overrun. So you have to turtle und go one way at a time, very boring. Don't remember WoL being that bad with that. I did like parts of the story of Lotv, but they just threw in everything there so there was something to like for everyone I think... And then they took this giant dump on sc2 with the epilogue which made me not buy the nova missions.

I like HotS atmosphere the most.
WoL has the best economy and mission chosing model.
Voted for HotS but WoL is the most replayable like you can replay it like thousand of times and it will be a little different every time

Voted HotS because of the unit upgrade system. The evolution missions and either-or choice made it so fun to decide what units to use, especially since there's no turning back once you make the choice. Also, it was exciting to watch Raynor and Kerrigan join forces in the end.

For me they had a lot of possibilities to write a lot of interesting stuff after the WoL campagn, but they screw it up with this stupid love story in HotS and this stupid alliance in LotV.

Starcraft is wild, noone is a good guy, everything turns bad in the end, and here in SC2 no, we had a random kawai story.

The HotS and LotV campagn is the worst stuff in SC2 in my starcraft fan opinion.

Level design are very good in the other hand.

WoL was the only one where I felt like I was playing starcraft. The other two had too much fluff making it feel like different games entirely. Which can be fun, but it's not what I'm looking for when I buy starcraft.

Where are the nova missions?

Also LotV had such great level design, and they knew what they were doing, hots was to easy, WoL was great too but a little bit less than LotV (Besides the Lost Vikings mini game)

For me: WoL > LotV > HotS campaigns. Never played the Nova mission pack.

All three are awesome in their own ways, I must admit. High replay value and just a lot fun!

BW Original.

on the poll... WOL was better than the other two. I remember clicking on everything outside if the missions, talking to everyone after every mission and running to any spot you could get to on the maps to find hidden stuff. It's the only capaign of the three, I played more than once. I never finished LOTV... I guess the plot was just dull.

I agree on the fluff. It never felt anything like playing the actual game.

Yeah the epilogue was so bad I almost couldn't believe it was the same game.

I felt that HotS had interesting stuff in it, but Kerrigan and the zerg evolutions were so powerful that HotS on brutal felt like WoL and LotV normal. HotS was by far the least fun to play.
LotV had the option to change your units between missions. It could have been interesting, but it felt more arduous than fun. The missions themselves were mediocre, but challenging.
WoL had all the good stuff, with choices that mattered, different upgrades to choose from - upgrades that felt necessary to win - which had a lot of diversity and they stayed within reason for the multiplayer game. WoL even had the most interesting world outside of the missions. You had the radio playing music, the arcade game, a lot of people with small interactive actions.

WoL was, by far, the best campaign.

I liked HOTS because of the leveling system and getting to know the origins of the zerg. I know people say it was easy, but as a pleb not playing on brutal, I didnt care.
Disliked LOTV because I already know the warhammer 40k creation story lol. Can't believe how blatant of a ripoff that was...they didn't even TRY to hide it.

wings campaign is shit. i replay them all pretty often. every wings mission has some kind of time trial lock that makes it difficult to enjoy without rushing and using certain unit compositions. and the unit upgrades are less interesting, less dynamic, etc. people seem to think the wings campaign is "hard," and it is harder, but it's only hard in a way that forces certain playstyles. once you figure out how to abuse missions they're not hard anymore.

each single player campaign is better than the last. void upgrades and missions are a lot more fun to play with

Liberty campaign is the easy choice here for me. I have the most fond memories of playing it, and even went back for a second and third playthrough because it was fun.

Legacy I haven't even played all the way through. Spear abilities and campaign unit picking just killed all challenge it offered.
