campaign racial order poll

yeah the idea of terran buildings flying is very...........but its good that u can fly onto ur enemies abandoned add ons and it becomes YOURS!!!

 

I say Zerg, Protoss, Terran because Zerg were never the first, Protoss were never 2nd and Terran were never last..

But I would like to see more of the Zerg first.. because they totally owned in Brood War so the first campaign would show what they are now and what they can do.. but the Protoss and Terran would change something in the 2 other campaigns...

 

I want the Terrans to be last simply because the last race/side in games usually wins.

 

Well in the first Protoss campaign they may have destroyed the Overmind, but they still basically lost their homeworld, so it's more of a way to slow the Zerg down...

 

It's surprising to see how the presumably weakest race - Zerg is the winner in the war. The UED is annilated, The Protoss lost their homeworld and Artanis's final push to kill Kerrigan failed, and so did Arcturus's fleet.

While the Zerg are manifesting on Char under the command of Kerrigan. She is smart though. She can sense a danger coming so she's decided to lay off and build up her swarm.

 

It'll probably be very ironic if the danger she senses is actually aggravated or even caused by her building such a big swarm.

 

Campaign setup

How do you guys think the campaign will be setup?
In the original there were 3 mini-campaigns (if I can call them that.)

Terran - 1st
Zerg - 2nd
Protoss -3rd

In BroodWar there were 3 again.

Protoss - 1st
Terran - 2nd
Zerg - 3rd

So what do you guys think? 3 mini-campaigns again? If so in what order If not how many and in what order?
This is what I predict anyway, going on what I've seen previously.

Zerg - 1st
Protoss - 2nd
Terran - 3rd

Also I think this will have some effect on the outcome of the overall storyline.
What do you think? ^_^

 

Re: Campaign setup

lol, forgive me for not seeing that.
Feel free to lock this then moderators ^_^, sorry

 

I didn't lock the thread, but I merged it in with this one. Enjoy, folks!

Btw, I like the episodic format of the campaigns, so I say yay!

 

And to make SC2 better than SC1, blizzard should make a cinematic for every 2 missions. with at least a 15min long cinematic for the ending for each episode.

 

while I certainly dont mind cutscenes I still dont see blizzard doing this due to the comparitevely long time to make rendered cutscenes instead of making ingame ones. But I do see them making atleast 1 at the beginning and at the ending of each campaign, and possibly a middle one. Also wonder how many missions there will be per campaign, fingers crossed its more than 10 per race ^_^

 

That many cutscenes would be rather tough to make. Rather than that, I'd like some scripted action at the beginning/end of each mission, like in Brood War. For instance, at the beginning of one Zerg mission, you got to see lurkers tear apart some Terran and Protoss soldiers, while in one of the Protoss missions you watched some reavers and dragoons destroy a Terran base. A mini-battle would not be too time-consuming (Heck, I can open the map editor and build one in five minutes.), and would look pretty cool if done right.

 

Yeah, like in warcraft III

And scripted battles would be very cool, those battles tend to be more realistic.

 

I did read or hear somewhere they were intending on doing a lot of in-game cutscenes and this would save time.
As far as what I think would be in cutscenes.. um... boss fights/kills, mass invasion or aftermath of an invasion, major plot scenes, new units inside cutscenes to have a greater ability to compare sizes, thats all i can think of right now but im sure theres more that i would like to see

 

protoss first followed by zerg and terran. Terran will win in starcraft 2! kerrigan will die after you finished the terran mission. cinematics ;D

 

The protoss will be unlikely to go 1st since they did so in brood war...

But yeah Kerrigan will die, when raynor or zeratul or the protoss finally eradicate her hostile reign as the universe's queen bitch...........

 

I'd wager the Xel'Naga doesn't even have weapons. They seem more like... creators than destroyers. I mean, they deemed both the Protoss and Zerg as failures but destroyed neither of them, even though the Zerg tried to kill them (and almost did if my memory does not fail me).

 

well that was a long time ago, and they have most certainly learnt from each of thier mistakes (i mean all of them)
they probably have weapons, genetic deformers

 

if you remember from Starcraft, they had at least 3 or 4 cut-scenes for each campaign for each race, so i can't see how they could do one for the start and one for the end of each campaign, especially since they were one of the coolest parts of the original, and everybody will be itching for more

not to mention how far their capabilities have come...just thinking about Zeratul in a hi-res cut-scene, fighting Kerrigan gives me goosebumps...akin to Illidan v. Arthas or Grom Hellscream v. Mannoroth

oh and you KNOW they have to have one final cinematic entitled "The Fall of Kerrigan" or something where she dies by Jim Raynor's clenched fists and teary eyes

 

I voted for Zerg first Toss last.

I think they'll pick up where they left off with Kerrigan, then deal with the naughty Terrans. Then finally finish off with some kind of glorious ending of the Protoss redeeming themselves.

But I'm counting on a high possiblity of the three campaigns not in chronological order. Meaning each race will have their own campaign, but it's their version of the history. By version, I don't mean that the story will be different for each race. Rather, the same story will be told from each race's point of view.

You can see where members of one race were and what they were doing in a particular chapter, while another race was somewhere else doing some other things in their campaign at that exact same time chronologically. I've always enjoyed that kind of story telling, where things take on a different meaning when view from more than one point of view.
