I just did the Tosh mission and it was quite fun. Then I used Spectres in the Haven's fall mission, they're actually surprisingly useful to me.

I choose Tosh, the Spectre's Psionic Lash ability (the 200 damage to a unit) is just too good to pass up, sniper and +damage to light be damned.

Besides, Spectre is in my name and at the time I was told that between Dr. Hanson, Stetmann, Hill, Matt Horner, Tychus, and Swann that if I didn't get a diversity hire I was going to get investigated by the EEOC for unfair employment practices.


Thats not true remember the guy that drives the hyperion? hes black o.o

Tosh mission is more fun. Both are useless units. I never built either.

I can't understand why people think the Tosh mission is more fun than the Nova mission. You just push with endless units for 30 minutes. Borefest.

Retarded to me really... it had almost no impact on your game besides Ghosts vs Spectres. I hated all these choices to create a nonlinearity, and then it have near zero impact on the game.

Ever notice that most ghosts are half way insane? Now imagine that except with even worse training...thats how I knew I wouldn't take the spectre's.

Spectres are cooler and not having EMP sucks. Unfortunately, nukes are next to useless because you don't need them on Normal, and on Hard/Brutal the enemy players have detection everywhere.

BTW, I'm a bit sad that Blizzard considers "Safe Haven" to be the "real" storyline. "Haven's Fall" was much cooler, and the sad ending felt a lot more blizzard-esque. (Since when did any Blizzard characters have a happy ending?)

Snipe is pretty useful tbh, I'm playing through on my second time and the spectre abilities don't seem as useful. However, it's really only ghosts so you'll probably build like... 2 for the remainder of the campaign just to nuke stuff for fun.
Go Blue!

I picked Ghosts, I like to use units I already know

However, Tosh's mission was way cooler than Nova's. Loved it.
Nova's was just like "Mind controll a siege tank and do what I always do in Terran Mirror" ;D
When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.

Dont worry, that will change in the next installment.

Also, Tosh mission = Dota
I could get a more coherent article by gluing a Sharpie to a dog's cook and letting it hump the page.

Neither will really get used, except for last mission, where spectres are very clutch because they can stunlock you-know-who

Breakout was better mission, ghost of a chance was better cutscene


Lord Voldemort?

In any case, if you choose to help Tosh, the video states that everything Nova said was a lie.

Pretty much no matter what you do, the story makes it seem like you did the right thing.

The Psionic Lash ability can be used on buildings (particularly useful on turrets and spore cannons). It's a faster, cheaper version of the yamato gun.

I chose Nova, partly because I thought Tosh was a dick, partly because I love using Ghosts (sometimes I'll replay Outbreak with one upgraded Ghost to try and take out all the buildings during the night, because hero Ghosts are cool stuff), and partly because I felt that Nova deserved spotlight time after Starcraft: Ghost was canceled. In fact, I've considered using the Editor to make my own version of SC: Ghost (I envisioned it to be a cross between Starcraft theme and Metal Gear Solid gameplay / story), but I'm not too skilled with the Editor, so it probably won't happen.

By the way, for those who complain about Nova bailing on you when you choose Ghost of a Chance: + Show Spoiler +
Nova doesn't ditch you, actually. In the Armory onboard the Hyperion, examine the Ghost rifles. Just wait for about 30 seconds, and you'll see Nova decloaking, sitting on top of the boxes. She'll look around for a few seconds, then cloak again.

Already common knowledge, but just thought I'd throw that out there for those who didn't know.
The room is ripe with the stench of bitches!

I keep seeing this but never with any source? Anyone know where this is from?
