still unnecessary imo. once the lab nerd had a theory that the protoss crystal might drain energy from the ship etc and in the end it just "helped" the ship.

On the topic of pre-rendered cinematics, does anyone remember that scene with a viking maneuvering between buildings from some of the promo videos before the release? I didn't see it in the campaign.

Do every mission Ariel gives you (including chosing to battle Selendis) and she'll kiss Raynor afterwards.

So many negative comments! jeez

It has one of the best single player campaigns I've ever played, (can't say the best because nothing beats Gabriel Knight) every mission sucked me in. I did all the side missions because I was actually interested in what would happen plot-wise (I wasn't disappointed) and, more importantly, because I knew they would be fun. Each mission was totally different and a blast to play, made even better by the many research and armory upgrades.

Beating the game was incredibly fun and rewarding from a plot development standpoint and also in term of experiencing the gameplay/mission designs.

well, the story is sooo unfinished (i know it'll continue in the expansions).. i expected 3 clear blocks
(well somehow the 1st one is finished with kerrigans rescue) but there are too many open questions left. i guess i had too high expectations for the story after the awesome promo clips. overall i missed the heat and tension. and i still don't get tychus, the moment he saw that kerrigan becomes human again, he would've died either way, so why did he try? i expected him to either find a way to disable the deathbringing mechanism or to beg raynor to give him a honorfull death.. so either he was soo pissed at raynor for beeing "free" the entire time tychus was in prison and expected to die.. or he somehow thought he would kill raynor and the marines too, wich kinda makes no sense because then he should've killed kerrigan last.

I really enjoyed the campaign to be fair. It was a decent length for an RTS campaign took me between 10-12 hours mainly because I took my time and tried to complete most of the side missions. The story itself I really enjoyed I found it solid and well dictated and there were times that I really got into it. Also the new 'hub' system and the upgrade system added a spice to it that made it slightly more accessible to your style of play. Some of the mechanics in the missions were also really clever that just made it more interesting than defend this or destroy that. It kept it original and fresh for me.

But that's just my 2 cents, overall I think Blizzard did an awesome job with the SP and I can't wait for HoS.
Well butter my biscuit.

Kerrigan will likely be rebuilding the Swarm and her psionic powers to battle the Hybrids; I think we can expect the first few missions to be much like the first mission of Brood War, where Kerrigan is saving the Hives and reuniting the Swarm.

If this turns into WC3 with all the races uniting against a stronger power.... or turns into Mass Effect with everyone uniting to stop the reapers... just ugh.

I loved the campaign overall. Just really disappointed with the ending.

You forgot + Show Spoiler +
Kerrigan will use the swarm to kill Mengsk, neatly resolving the terran storyline and transitioning into the Xel-Naga-Coming-To-Kill-Us-All storyling in the last mission of HotS.

They wouldn't call it HEART of the swarm if the plot wasn't about a female. (Sigh)

If you side with hansen, there's a cutscene where she invites jim to stay with her on haven.
settle down, was what she said, but we all know that what she meant was: "Do me Jim, you hunky stud, you!"

That had to have put a smile on a few faces at least XD

Dude you missed out. The Zeratul missions are the best in the game. Especially the 3rd one.

i thought it was great. some missions were way too long, but it's whatever. i really got into it once zerathul appeared. that's when it started to get into a compelling story, instead of make money and kill zerg/toss. i don't think they choices thing was a bad idea either. i didn't expect the ending to be what it was though...i'm interested to see how the story progresses now.
