Well, not only that, but (spoiler tag for the 1 person on TL who hasn't finished the campaign) + Show Spoiler + by unzergifying Kerrigan, they got rid of (in my opinion) their only interesting character, and certainly one of the most interesting video game villains. I hope that trailer hints at a retcon or something because the end of WoL was terrible. | ||

Just look at the WoL launch trailer, paints a completely different storyline. There sad music teaser showing Kerrigan being left to fend for herself and the guilt that Raynor had was insanely good and the music made it seem like it was gonna be more dramatic while going through the single player. I was very disappointed with the lack of drama aside from + Show Spoiler + the part where you had to survive until everyone was dead as protoss | ||

Feels strange to see Spectres alongside Dominion troops. The one shown from 05 to 08 is clearly a spectre, it has both the mask and the blue markings, but two people in a smilar suit fall over at 04. Why spectres though? All known spectres are as hostile against to Dominion as Raynor is, and the project is said to have been terminated. Tosh's storyline is also said to be the "most cannonical" one - so why would they fight Raynor at all? Similarly, Nova is the one who hunted them down, trapped them and really tried hard to prevent Raynor from releasing them. It would be really weird to see them agree to team with each other. I suppose there could be some "double renegade" spectres who sided with the Dominion, but using ghosts would have felt more natural. I do not believe those are spectres at all. Spectres in the campaign all had black suits with red markings while ghosts are always all white with blue. Just compare Tosh and Nova's suits. The masks definitely resemble the masks of spectres I will certainly give you that but besides that they look like normal ghosts to me. Anyone else have more proof of them being spectres because honestly right now it makes no sense as the above quote says XD | ||

You could tell the end like right in the middle of the game. BW wasn't like that. The all Terran and Zerg campaign from BW were awsome in that regard, lot of betrayals and surprise you wasn't able to expect. | ||

I actually went back and played throughout the sc1 campaign after playing WOL just to make sure I wasn't falling for nostalgia. And while the gameplay is pretty terrible boring, the plot is still leaps and bounds better. | ||

I play through SC+BW campaigns regularly at least once a year, and they always blow me away by how well done they are. WoL campaign has the story of a dumb kids show while SC+BW is a mature space epic, not to mention that the gameplay in the WoL campaign is so abstract. I've only played the WoL campaign once, and will never touch it again while I will continue playing SC+BW regularly. | ||

I suppose there could be some "double renegade" spectres who sided with the Dominion, but using ghosts would have felt more natural. The Spectre Program was originally a Dominion project. Tosh went renegade, taking most of the project with him, and Nova claims that it was shut down completely afterwards, but we really just have her word for it at the moment. And there are hints in the game that point the other way, such as the text that pops up when you click on the Spectres in the Hyperion Armory: "There is speculation that the Dominion still uses Spectres in a number of operations, despite the ostensible shutdown of the program." So it's perfectly possible that there are still Dominion Spectres out there. Really, I don't see why the Dominion WOULDN'T use them; they're obviously controllable enough to work for Tosh and later Raynor, and they're obviously powerful. It would be rather uncharacteristic of the Dominion to just give up on something with so much potential. | ||
