As I haven't gotten the game yet (too cheap for same day delivery), I was wondering what the achievements are like for the campaign. Is it for doing special things (that you don't necessarily know will get you a reward), or is it just for completing objectives?

I'm playing on playing the campaign on brutal - will that affect anything? Thank you.

I'll like to know this as well.

Is there an achievement for completing the campaign on normal/hard/brutal? I'll be replaying this campaign for years to come, but I rather not play normal since I don't like my RTS's to be too easy.

If I complete the campaign on brutal, can I assume that achievements for the lower levels will be obtained too?

Many are for "special things", but they tell you what the things are. They're challenges like "don't lose a unit," or "kill XYZ before the time expires." (Of course, maybe there are others we don't know about.)

For every Mission, there are 3 Achievements:

Complete all objectives.
Do something special on normal.
Do something special on hard.

You get achievements for playing all sidemissions of sidekicks etc

It worked that way with Insane FFA and Insane Blitz for Custom games so I assume so.

The best way to find out what they are is to check out an online starcraft profile. They're pretty good about not giving away spoilers too.

Here is a link to my profile for convenience. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/357233/1/VonLego/achievements/category/3211278

The achievements are cool, but the really stupid thing is you have to be connected to battle.net in order to get them. Battle.net went down today for me so I missed out on a whole bunch of achievements while I was playing the campaign.

If you are playing on Brutal than the Normal and Hard achievements will be acquired if you complete them. And the Achievements are not stated anywhere until after the mission so if you miss it you can simply just redo the mission from the Bridge. I am at 300 Achievement points already and i am not even done the Campaign. There are a lot of things to do. So glad i stayed up till midnight to be a part of this...

I lost connection to bnet right away, but if never notified me so I played 6 missions on brutal and didn't get the achievements for them.

Is there anyway I can get those counted (the missions are done and complete) toward my kerrigan portrait without having to spend another 4 hours of brutal missions that i've already done?

You could appeal to Blizzard if you are able to provide proof.

The Achivements in general try to get you to play the game a bit more creative/aggressive. While being designed around heeding the ingame advice and using the "unit of the mission", that usually won´t allow you to get some Achivements.

I have them all completed on brutal and it shows my time and what not.

I think i'll try just loading up the auto-saves and play the last 5 minutes or so of each mission to see if I get credit for beating it again.


edit: doesn't work, if you load an older mission save it reloads the ENTIRE game, meaning you're back to whatever mission that was on the hyperion

Do you have to replay the campaign if you want to do something like the "watch 10 news updates" achievement? I only watched 4, and I really dont want to bother replaying the game, even on easy. Every mission is just so tedious

Yes, I replayed the campaign to get it. It took about 10 missions and I'm not sure if clicking the news and than hitting esc still counts so I just sat through it all =\
