So I finished the campaign and found out there was a secret mission. I read how how to unlock it and gave it a shot. Tried to just kill the SF and abort, but I didn't see it. I'm too tired to replay the Media Blitz mission, so will someone just tell me what's it about?

Thank you

Thank you feather6! Appreciated!

Destroying the SF gets you 'secret documents', which reveal the existence of some Dominion research facility on a remote orbital platform. There were plans to kill everyone who ever worked there, which Jim interprets as a decision to fly down there and say hi.

The platform level is smallish, you control a small group of infantry including marine-mode Raynor. In the facility, you discover tons of trapped protoss and zerg specimens being turned into hybrids. It is also mentioned that there is no way Terran technology could do this on its own, and that 'Mengsk must have some kind of help'. Or maybe the scientists are just trying really, really hard, Raynor can't be sure.

Progressing through the facility requires you to use the platform security systems, including giant robots and releasing specimens, against the security forces. Jim can also pick up special weapons with a limited amount of ammo, including plasma rounds (high damage, single target), grenades (AOE damage), chrono rounds (puts up an aoe slowing field) and apple pie (tastes delicious).

Recognizing the hybrids from Zeratul's visions, Raynor decides to destroy the place.The room with the main reactor contains a hybrid reaver (the giant, melee hybrids you fight in the last protoss mission) in stasis. Destroying the reactor releases the hybrid, which destroys the facility. You run through the burning facility, fighting through security remnants and escaped specimens, while fleeing the invincible hybrid. You escape in a dominion transport, and everyone goes back to the Hyperion to eat pizza and talk about their big day.

The secret mission was a lot of fun. I recommend unlocking it.

For those who can't figure out how to unlock it after finishing the campaign: Find the Media Blitz autosave file in your Starcraft 2 folder, save it under campaign, load the save, destroy the science facility in the south east corner of the map and complete the mission.

Can you simply do it before going to Char? Or it has to be that autosave?

Do you have to finish the mission? I've done it on Hard already, and would just like to play the extra mission after unlocking the secret.

I haven't done any Char missions yet. Where can I find it?

EDIT: First I just got the secret and then quit; no extra mission. Then I just did it on casual and actually finished it; secret planet popped up at briefing

So I went back and did this on a separate save and still did not get the 29 mission completion(I had the other 28) do all 29 have to be on ONE save?

another way to get to the secret mission is just to go into campaign editor, look under campaign maps, it is the one listed right underneath media blitz, the name of it is escaping me, if you want to change the difficulty just restart it.

No, they are done achievement style and are "checked off" as you do them. If you check your alternate roots in the archives, it will say you didn't complete those either, but they are checked off for your achievement.

If you just want to play the secret mission load a previous save. If you want it to count to your completed missions count you're going to have to finish the rest of the missions from there again. I'm pretty sure that's how it is, but not 100% sure.

I'm going to play it when I decide to replay the campaign again.

Okay, didn't know that? That makes no sense whatsoever. You completed the mission right?

All this mess is PISSING if off so much. WTF Blizzard, did noone play the campaign before release? I'd even play the whole campaign 4 times if you had to choose a set difficulty at the start (and all the upgrades make sense), but this is nothing but horrible.

People are getting all the upgrades now by replaying missions with zerg/protoss upgrades and getting cash, is that intended behaviour? It can make other levels easier as well. Or could one just calculate all the cash that should be available and choose a 'best set of upgrades'?

Dude, don't take it too seriously, single player is for shits and giggles, so what if the missions are easier when you go back and play with meaty hardware?

This might not actually be the case. I didn't complete the final zeratul mission before reaching char, but I reloaded a save and completed it, I got the achievement even though the campaign screen only registered as something like 22/29

You should play the mission yourself, there are some really cute Ultralisks in it!
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
