Starcraft II WoL Campaign - Thoughts?

[KillerChi]

Personally, I thought it was awesome, fun, and a decent story, bugged me at points though.

Spoiler

Like, the Odin. Why would it take so long for the Dominion to realize it got hijacked? It's one Odin, not many things to mistake it for. Tell the troops "Shoot the even-by-Starcraft standards big ass machine"

The few plot holes are what make the game slightly worse than SC1 story wise. I felt some parts were only added to look pretty. (SC2 on Ultra is stunning) Like, Tychus.

What did you think of it?

plot was dull

too many "special missions", I miss "build base and kill the enemy who have a bigger base then you" missions

I kinda agree with you here, I mean I like the special missions and all, but the only ones where your objective is to destroy the enemy base is like the second mission, on all the others it's pretty much impossible to destroy any enemy base on hard/brutal

also I don't like the "mission selection" menu that much.. I mean it's ok, but I would have prefered the "standard" one as well

I think the delay that you get when starting rampage with the Odin is supposed to be the time the military needs to organize itself and inform all local troops.
E.g. if a school bus full with armed terrorists aimlessly drives around in your city and shoots at everything, police is notified. Helicopters are requested and order is sent to deploy specialists like SWAT, etc etc. That takes a few minutes to organize everything.

Excellent mission gameplay - boring and dull story.
Short summary ;D

Agreed. Also, IMO the ending was really lame. I was expecting something pretty cool. But then Raynor just went in and rescued Kerrigan, and that was kind of it. Sure, there was the little episode with Tychus, which I was already kind of expecting. But I expected a big badass duel between Kerrigan and Raynor or something. I dunno. I was just really let down by the ending. Also, maybe I'm more of just a Diablo/WC3/RPG kind of guy, but I would have liked to use hero units more often in-game, like Tychus, Raynor, or Nova.

The first expansion will be the Zerg campaign right? And the third about the Protoss?

Yep, following are Zerg and Protoss. Second, you mean.

I need to stop posting at odd times. And, that sums it up nicely. The plot to me, didn't really advance the story much. The ending pissed me off.

I still think it's good for a game plot, not by Valve standards though.
