Aren't they monsters who destroy worlds because the Overmind, and Kerrigan, made them do that? If they're free, they might be cool peeps. But they might not be.

Which is the whole point, to give an open ending. You don't know exactly what happens, you're forced to make it up on your own. Think Inception.


It was shown in SC1 that Zerg that are released from the Hive Mind become mindless killing machines, killing literally anything around them.


How do you explain the one mission in the Queen of Blades chapter (I think it was mission number three) where you have to rally some neutral zerg with a psi emitter? Those Zerg were not a part of any of the broods if the gray faction color is any indication. What, did the UED just have too much difficulty controlling those Zerg in Kerrigans presence which is why the Zerg were pretty docile with each other?

legit or not, spoiled or not

if its like WoL, even if the story is average, at least the missions will be fun and refreshing unlike most other RTS game campaigns where its the same shit until the credits

so im not assed, and sometimes its not a bad thing to watch an ending first then start from the beginning, a few films do that.

1. The date on it is the beginning of 09.

2. Kerrigan is turned back human. (I doubt they would reverse that change so easily)

3. This is most likely a scrapped ending of WOL.

Can't believe the negative bandwagon towards WoL? I found the campaign story to be a good continuation of its predecessor and a refreshing change at the same time. Sure there were cheesy moments but there are always awkward/average moments in every single player game.

Superrrrrr keen for HotS.

It almost seems like Blizzard is going to create a plot hole like they did with Wrath of the Lich King.

WotLK has a similar plot in that killing Arthas means that the undead go on a mindless rampage. However, this was contradicted by the fact that the Forsaken were released from control and never did anything of the sort. The Forsaken aren't good, but they aren't mindless either.

Now Blizzard seems to be making the same plot hole with SC2, only in reverse this time. Now, releasing the Zerg will apparently make them not so evil, which is contradicted by the fact that zerg who become "free" in SC1 become mindless killing machines.



Not all undead retained their higher brain functions once turned. There have been several stories of people being turned and just being mindless zombies that attack the living. Also several people who were turned were naturally evil and did what they could to increase their undead powers. The forsaken are simply a specific UD group that maintained their higher brain functions, broke free of the the LK, and banded together. If you want to make an SC to WC comparison, think of the forsaken as cerebrates, and then imagine the cerebrates breaking free of the overmind's (arthas) control. But SC isn't WC and so that's enough about that.

In regards to SC, it all depends on what the overmind said. The dark one forced a "single over-riding drive" on them to kill everything. Remove that one factor and who knows what would happen. Some could be fine while others might still want to kill everything. As for people talking about the BW level where you take control of zerg, that likely has to do with game limitations. Realistically those zerg would probably have attacked you w/o the psi emitter, but the SC1 game doesn't have the tech to make a hostile turn friendly (as far as I know). Only neutral units could become friendly, so they had to make the units neutral in order for the level to properly work. And they were likely gray to show that no brood had actual control over them.

Also it appears that when the zerg don't have a unified controller they revert back to more of a pack mentatility. They would roam in packs and attack anything not of their packs (it generally wasn't just a massive FFA).

But as for the video, I just don't think thats how HotS will end. I can see it being a concept that was rejected (hence why blizz would want it removed), but the reinfested kerrigan doesn't make sense, nor does the thing Mengsk put inside of her. Remember back to SC1. When you get Infested Kerrigan you also end up getting Psi Storm on her because the infestation process removed all of the terran devices that are installed in ghosts for control reasons. So how did this one device magically make it through a process that altered her DNA and removed all other devices?

The swarm will need to be freed in order to prevent the end of the universe, but I don't think that video is how it will come about. And even then they could still be sadistic killers.

Dunno if thats real or not but Raynor saying "Change of plans!" and manhandling Mengsk was pretty cool.

Hopefully we'll realize that the reason Raynor acted so poorly in the WoL campaign was because he was actually infested the entire time

I dunno how anyone could complain about the ending of a game they haven't even seen yet. Play through the story, finish the entire campaign, and then post your opinions! This is nothing more than a preliminary cg whiteboard.

And lol @ Spawkuring talking about "plot holes" in the WarCraft universe when you only need to play a Forsaken character for 10 minutes to understand the difference between the Scourge and the Forsaken.

I'm excited to play through the next chapter and see the events leading up to that video. :D

Why on earth anyone would want to have the HotS story potentially spoiled for them, and possibly spoil it for others by posting it in a TL thread and discussing, is beyond me.

Well its likely gonna be just as bad as the WoL story (i.e. horrendous for the over 12s) so why not start the bitching early?

This is a joke. It doesn't even make sense. The zerg aren't viable as an undirected "species." They're composed of a ton of different life forms, many of which do not have any apparent means of self-sufficiency.

How exactly are overlords going to feed themselves? Corruptors? Mutalisks? They don't even have legs for chrissake. How are the mutas going to reproduce or make nests or anything like that? It's such an utter joke.

personally i tend more to not legit, since fans do stuff like that with ease these days


Haha, I noticed that too.

I was never that impressed with the overall story of StarCraft, and if this is where the story is headed, I'm not too impressed. The only character I really like in the SC universe was the Overmind. The Overmind did a much better job of being the "guy behind the guy" character than what the Dark Voice was trying to be in SC2.

As long as HotS introduces a few more units into the mix or something akin to what Brood War did for the first StarCraft, I'll be happy.
Are you watching closely?

The final battle with the Hybrids/Dark Voice I'd say.

We know _way_ too little of the new story to be speculating like this. Yeah, WoL could have been more epic than it was, but I'm confident in blizzard's ability for producing workable stories. The expansions will probably create a cohesive whole.

is this thread still not dead?
it cannot be the end. the stories dont fit together! 1st: kerrigan is not human, so it has to play before WoL but mengsk dies, so it cannot be before the WoL storyline. it simply is impossible!
the only way it would be possible is when kerrigan becomes the queen again, but really, who believes that?

Jesus fucking Christ its almost like Metzen is some genetically engineered soviet android that can only regurgitate one plot over and over and over again.

Also Zerg are good panda bears now. zzzz.

Zerg Campaign should have been about brutal slaughter with some bittersweet moments thrown in.

Guess I'm too old for this crap.

Its simple really. Kerrigan Starts out as human but makes a deal with mengsk to get infested again to control the zerg (As shown in that stasis tube video), and the progress of her infestation coincides with getting new researches etc WoL upgrade style.

So formulaic ~_~.
