What are people's thoughts on the challenge mode stuff? I got gold medal on the Sentry/HT one on my first try, without too much difficulty.

Brutal is the only way to go. Man, I've almost lost count of how many times I've reloaded a mission...

Yeah so far the whole single player is slightly underwhelming. I can deal with the voice acting, since that really isn't something that most games are good at. The missions seem a bit linear so far too. Upgrade system is pretty cool.

Overall I think the best single player experience has been WC3. That story really engaged me, and took a few twists and turns (including Arthas, who is probably their best character as well). I also preferred the story presentation to take place in the actual game world, because it brought the story into what you were doing instead of feeling sort of slapped on for graphical pleasure.

But really the single player is more of bonus content for me. Sadly I'd pay 60 bucks for MP alone.

Apart from that, I think the story telling is definitely better than in sc1. You probably just have fond childhood memories of playing the sc1 campaign, which is why you don't see the flaws in sc1's storytelling.

Agree with everything in this post. Replay SC1 and you will see the dialogue in SC2 is actually many times better. My only issue was with the news reporter as well. Wow this post I am quoting sounds like something I would have written exactly... get out of my head.


News reporter is hit or miss. If you like it, you watch it; otherwise, just don't click the television, I guess. But yea, Starcraft is pretty much known for its over the top cheesyness. The whole premise of Redneck Marines in Space is cheesy IMO. On the otherhand, if Diablo 3 has such cheesyness then we should be worried.

I stopped clicking the television until I saw there was an achievement for it ...

Dudes, the news show is hilarious. But then again, maybe I have the humor of a 13-year-old.

Shouldn't this be in the Campaign section? Some people don't want the dialog spoiled for them

man some people on here just will never be satisfied with anything. Theres always something people have to complain about in SC 2 its getting annoying already. Its a completely different game with a completely different way of telling the story, i dunno how you can say the old one is better in any way. The fact that you can do all kinds of upgrades and research along with interaction is a much better experience than the first. So what the dialogue is somewhat cliche who cares the games amazing and i dunno what else blizz can do to please some of you people its rediculous how critical some of you are

Yea, honestly go try playing SC campaign again and you'll see how lame a lot of the dialogue there was as well. It's definitely a huge improvement in SC2 over the original.

To tell you the truth, I had the same thought, but luckily+ Show Spoiler +
after a few of the news ones it stops doing that EVERY single time, or at least in different ways. There is however one where the news anchor claims that he always brings the news in the most "fair and balanced" way,
and that just made me laugh my ass off at the blantant fox news hatred. I think that one line made up for all of the other times.

There are definitely a lot of problems with the campaign's storyline, but seriously, what can you expect? Keep in mind this is the Terran campaign too, and the terrans have always had the most boring and lackluster campaign. No one cares about character development when it's centered around a few humans that fit into very boring cliches. In fact, the entire cast is almost exactly the same as that of firefly (another space western setting). Raynor's the heroic captain that's easy to like, being both a rebel and a hero, who's had some past dark times and is on the losing side of some war (Malcolm), Tychus is the big strong angry dude who is somehow weaker than Raynor and likes to go against him but is always defeated (Jayne), Tosh is the mysterious psychic dude who has hidden powers (the Shepard). (Though the fact that he's jamaican is hilarious to me cause he always talks about "the spirits" and the "spirit world" or whatever Jamaican nonsense). Then there's some medic, and some other boring roles.

I've just never enjoyed the Terran campaigns in any of the games. I've always found the Zerg and Protoss characters more interesting, and hopefully their respective campaigns will be much, much better than this cliched drivel with amazing production values.

I just wished they talked more about the overarching story, like the battles and what's going on, instead of character development. They focus way too much on the heroes in this one, which goes against the entire starcraft philosophy. Hero based plot should stick to warcraft.

Damn, i didn't receive my copy even now
Hope it will be delivered to me tommorow
I played the campaign, though, not saying here how i did it.+ Show Spoiler +
thanks RELOADED
The campaign seems fairly tough on brutal + Show Spoiler +
especially the mission where u survive against the zergs andvancing and matt horner saves you
But really, the game is all about multiplayer.
Multiplayer is what kept sc1 played for 12 years, not the campaign.
No matter how great the campaign is, in a cpl of years the multiplayer is what counts.

Brutal is quite challenging assuming you don't know how strong the opponent is..

For example,

+ Show Spoiler +
Zero hour third mission, playing on Brutal first time I left the base to go kill the enemy, prob had around ~16 marines 5 medics, and as I'm killing an enemy spine crawler, fucking like 8-10 mutas come, lots of lings, few hydras then an ULTRA unburrows. I was like WTF, I can't even tech stim yet or combat shields, and they throw an Ultra at me?


Although as soon as you've figured the enemy strength out, you can scale accordingly.

I like the campaign. I love cheesy writing, it makes the game all more amusing. I think it's intentional because Terran's are red-necks, so they're trying to make them sound stupid. lol.

How about this. I never played Sc1 or broodwar. Still I'm fairly dissapointed. I think I'm about half way trough the campain + Show Spoiler +
I just finished the whole protoss side campaign, back to Terran now


I really dislike how almoste every mission involves building a base, for me the irreregular missions where you escort something, or escape from a dungeon are the most fun ones. Also I'm rather annoyed by the amount of units I can get, Terran already has a lot of units but in the campaign it's just to much if you ask me. I understand that from Broodwar players it is great to see some old units, but for me they just needlessly complicate things.

I don't want to end in to much of a rant, I enjoyed the missions I did so far but it's just not as good as I hoped.
We know nothing.
