I remember not daring to move out until I had basically maxed out on 200/200 from one unit building facility at a time, and always building tanks and hiding behind long siege tank lines. And then only going 200/200 BCs in the later scenarios.
So basically I did what Goody does now

I can remember going for mass BC / Carrier / Muta + Guardian in the campaign in every mission. Then I got to BW and suddenly the enemy AI was improved and they used Scourge much better now and completely annihilated my expensive air army.
Good times.

Yeah, but all you need are barracks supply depots and ccs to beat the BW campaign.

Same for WoL. There's a guy that beat the WoL brutal campaign with marines only.

Couldn't agree more. Played WoL/HotS campaigns back to back right when HotS was being released, the difference was night and day.
Enjoyed failing the final WoL mission several times on Brutal before I got the hang of it. Compared to having several bases, a constantly huge bank and a 200/200 army which i'd make random units for just because I could in the final HotS mission. Was sad.

I don't even remember what was the last HotS mission. I remember clearly almost half of WoL missions. For Hots.. i think i remember the jumping bane unlock mission. And... the one with nuclear missile ?
HotS left me little memories but the cinematics.

Now it clearly works so i have no problem with it and i for one right now am most intrigued by the campaign in LOTV actually and will be buying it for that reason! Also assume a November release date for this which for once is clever by Blizzard. Release it AFTER WCS/Blizzcon finals have finished so the next Pro League will be able to line up with it as well etc etc etc. j/k in before September release xD
Renamed due to this isn't free yet  Will be free "prior" to games release but that could be 1 week before knowing blizzard etc.
yea that's a good point about the time frame. I can't help but feel hyped anyway though. Just knowing that it is finally coming out haha.
