campaign racial order poll

Yeah, I could imagine a 300-style cinematic with the Zealots poking and slaughtering countless Zerglings, then a switch to a Starship Troopers-type bunch of Marines grinding down 'lings and Hydras and then a climactic Star Wars-ish space battle between Protoss, Terran and Xel'Naga fleets... then, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

 

I think that's a must!!

jeez.. now that I would love to see..

 

yeah i agree with you,

1st Zerg

2nd Protoss

3rd Terran

zergs and protoss have already done something huge in SC and SC brood war, now its terrans turn to alter the universe a bit at the end of SC 2

 

Exactly

 

Zerg, protoss, terran.

 

Yeah, man! It's like all the times I've said that it's Terran's turn to be last have finally been listened to!!! Shields up! We're not equipped with shields? Then buckle up!

 

Hmm I see many hypothesis about the story.. I think most of them are very wrong because.. imo, the actual main characters will probably only appear in cinematics and briefings.. they will use new heroes for the campaigns..

I imagine something like raynor and some other peep telling the new terran hero what to do.. stuff like this.. the story will mostly be arround some new characters.. if i'm wrong, it will include new heroes and only SOME major sc1 chars.. like kerrigan..

anyway.. i hope no one can make a hypothesis close to the reality.. i hope we are all super duper wrong and when we get the game.. we will be like: WOW i never thought of that.. this game is awesome.. and we do like: WOOO WOOO WOOO WOOO for 6 hours straight because the storyline is too amazing..

Yeah, well penis just doesn't cut it! And obviously since Warcraft 3, and following through The Frozen Throne, World of Warcraft, The Burning Crusade, and tons of books in between, the same leaders for the same factions are still the driving force behind the plot. Anyway, Artanis's the guy who gives orders, and Zeratul's the guy who carries them out. There's no room for new core Protoss heroes because the ones that exist do their job.

 

Remember that Starcraft II is an entirely new game, not an expansion pack for Starcraft. If Blizzard wants it to appeal to both Starcraft veterans and new players, they can't have a storyline which only makes sense if you've played SC 1. So, it most likely won't be too dependant on the SC1 storyline (Though of course it would continue it), but instead will contain some hints and references to it here and there for SC 1 players. Sort of like Star Wars Episodes 4-6 sometimes have Episode 1-3 references.

 

Mb zerg will be first and loose : / but at expansion they will be last and kik ass again, YAY!!! ; ) )

 

Since enough time has passed in the game since the end of Brood War, it is possible that they could make a balance between using the old heroes (+Tychus Findley) and making the story understandable to non-SC players.

But anyway, who hasn't played Starcraft? ;D

 

Uncool people

Thinking about it, I guess the Terran really haven't had as much an impact on the games as Protoss and Zerg have. Although Kerrigan was originally Terran and it was a Terran's fault that she's become what she is. But still, I feel like I haven't done anything with the Terran's, ya know?

I still think that the Protoss have something huge coming up around the corner as well.

 

Haven't they? I dont think so. Remember the Brood war campaign and the role of the UED. They beaten (without any help of any other agenda!) both Terran Dominion and Overmind. They were very close to exterminate entire Zerg race and were defeated only becouse UED's primary enemies allied with each other (Kerrigan, Mengsk, Fenix and Raynor). IMHO UED after taking Char was second of the most powerfull factions in game after overmind's Swarm.

 

Dugalle was dumb and he wouldn't of succeeded on taming the overmind if the psi disruptor was destroyed. (well it was destroyed in the end by Kerrigan)

 

Well, what I meant was, I felt like I, as the player, hadn't done anything with the Terrans.

 

I think that starting with terran's will be much better for people who are new to the series.

 

I personally found Terran to be the hardest race to learn from. organising the infantry and machines can be very challenging for beginners

I started the whole game using Protoss, it's very easy to use and i love the race itself. and greatest part is when i found out the probe doesnt need to stay there.

 

The Terrans can have some sort of prequel-tutorial campaign like the Orcs had in Wc3, so that they don't actually take part in the whole unraveling of the story until their full campaign comes.

 

I doesnt change the fact that psi disruptor was terran divice

 

Maybe the idea of reject is better. Cause what I meant was that the way of building is very accesible, while the zerg way is not.
