what i hate is that the final missions (or at least the ones form the middle) can be completed in 10 minutes or so, as the achievements state. i mean they can't really say that all the fans get annoyed that the missions are too long. what kind of fanbase do they think/state they have!?
so yeah shortened campaign + shortened missions.
great.

thx, blizzard LVU <333

Or the achievement could just be difficult.

Try doing Breakout on hard in under 10 minutes, for instance.

Well, i gotta say that i take my time at missions - it is more fun.
i nearly made breakout in under 15 minutes for the achievement (was it 15? i guess not 10). if i play it regulary it takes me like 20 minutes i guess, not a deal.

but still.
well, for example the first kaldir missions is based on a countdown (afaik 15 min) so the mission can't go longer than that, else you would loose.
i have the feeling that the missions/campaign will be helluva short shit, but hey, chilling in the lounge of the leviathan will be fun c:

@pebriniel

yeah, existor posted this also.
and following all the achievements, it seems legit.
even if we all now know the basic storyline, still there will be a chance that the plot will be executed well in dialogue/cinematics etc.

i know we are all afraid of the leaked ending coming true </ 3
we were right from the start when it leaked (btw, when did it leak? november 2010?)

I for one am excited about playing through the campaign and tackling its achievement challenges. With WoL, I ran through it in Normal to experience the story and tech features, then on Hard to get the specific 'hard' achievements, and finally worked by way through Brutal once I had a better understanding of how each level works and what was required to beat it. This time around, I may do the opposite and go right through it on Brutal and then drop down to Hard for the Mastery achievements, and then Normal for any other Story achievements. I figure that once you go through Brutal, everything else will seem like a piece of cake though working up to Brutal does definitely have its advantages of a better learning curve for each level's objectives and surprises.

Are there any other Campaign/Achievement lovers out there? How will you be tackling the campaign?

So many funny easter eggs and references at achievement names, just read them

+ Show Spoiler +

Mined Craft (aka Minecraft)
Staying Alive (Stay Alive from Portal)
Deep Space (aka Dead Space)
Fully Operational (reference to Battlecruiser)
Terran Up the Sky (name of one Terran country-songs from WoL campaign)
Swarm Guardian (Hyperian will be a Swarm Guardian)
So Many Banelings! (reference to Baneling song maybe?)
Zerg Save the Queen (reference to StarCraft Propaganda posters with "Save the Queen" titles)
Red Alert (name says itself)
Conquer & Command (switch those two words)
Nuclear Launch Rejected (aka reverse to "Nuclear launch detected")
Biomass effect (bolded text names itself)
A Game of Drones - the most epic reference to Game of Thrones

Sorry, but that's not true.

As i said Kerrigan becomes the Primal Queen (violette eyes) and that is what you see on every cover/loading screen and in the vision of herself Sarah had in her dream in the new cinematic.
But besides that the leaked ending also showed us that there indeed might be a (human) clone of Sarah that Arcturus uses to control the Primal Queen because she might still have a psionic link to her or whatever (campaign will show).

So I'm going to go on a limb here and say Raynor probably never gets his chance to re-kindle his relationship with Kerrigan :p Seeing as she is again some form of the Queen of blades. The Clone idea to control her is a new idea, guess we'll have to see where the story goes in a few weeks

yeah, that is what i said. i'm afraid that kerrigan will sacrifice herself at the end. "i did what i had to do"... something like that. anyway, i now wanna try to see which scene is cgi and what is not. the one with zeratul looked cgi. and blizzard only makes important things in cgi, lorewise
