    You can vote only twice. Dont vote contradicting yourself, ie: "Its great, I really love it" and then voting for "I liked the old one more"


    It was said by the guys at Blizzard that they weren't really sure about releasing the vid. This means there is a lot to improve, but still, do you like it so far?
    I personally think that buying units is dumb. Not only beacuase its not realistic, but also because it makes stuff really complicated. Also, the most logical way of playing the campaign, which is getting easyer units first and slowly progressively getting the better ones, is almost the same as the player being allowed to build more advanced units as the game progreses, not really different from Starcraft 1. Too much options tend to lead to disorder and that doesn't really let the player enjoy the story, I think.

    The new story mode, however is pretty good. Its realistic and allows the player to learn about the game background. However i DO get the feeling that its too simmilar to the Ebon Hawk of Star Wars KOTOR. Thats not bad tho, cos it rocked.

    About choosing planets... hmm I dont know about that. Guess it depends on what they do with it.

    I'm in love with the new story mode as it allows for a greater understanding of the SC Universe and Characters all the while allowing for the game to proceed as needed. It's a great tool for for most people as it will allow for an in-depth development of characters with the player. All in all I love it and I think it totally fits with Starcraft. This will be one of my all time favorite things added onto SC2. :thumbup:

    I also really love the new campaign mode - including the buying of units. I think that it is realistic enough, and a really cool way of 'unlocking' new units and abilities, making for a more 'you choose what happens' feel.

    I can't wait to see how the Zerg and Protoss campaigns achieve the same type of feeling. Obviously Zerg don't buy units, so I wonder what Blizzard will make as its equivalent, as well as the Protoss. And maybe we'll be on the bridge of a Carrier or Mothership, or patrol Kerrigan's main Hive cluster. Only time will tell!

    I still think buying new units is not realistic. Stealing the units blueprints or the units themselves would be far more real.

    I just want Blizzard to scrap the new story mode style, and make more cinematic scenes.

    I love the new style of the campaign mode, and by the looks of it they will still have plenty of cinematics.

    I hope it turns out as awesome as the idea sounds. Dark Crusade had a similar campaign in that you choose where to go, what units to get etc,etc and it was very fun.

    Hopefully it will make the campaign that much more immerisve.

    Well, its like a new take to campaign for the starcraft world. I suppose before anybody really makes and opinion, they should try it out first. For all we know it could get really awesome when you really get in to it or it could be really bad. They took a chance here but i think they will pull through

    Seems that starcraft 2 is gonna be the bastard child of Starcraft 1 and Curse of the Monkey Island. Its fine with me.

    I played KOTOR 1 and 2 and I loved that stuff; you also got bonuses with the characters and unlocked secret missions if you helped the characters along.

    In addition, this way I can get some of the storyline and orientation of what is going on and where, whereas in the original starcraft the planet names didn't really mean anything and for all intents and purposes the missions could have just as well happened in someone's basement (albeit a really cool one).

    I think it's a more immersive campaign experience this way.

    Please try to not double post. And yes this will allow for the Storyline to be linear and at the same time free to be browsed.

    I generally really like it. But you do have a point about the buying units. It doesn't seem very realistic. They should make it so that you buy the "blueprints" or "instructions" for the units or something that makes sense in the story. I think it is going to have a lot of replay value though.

    From the trailer it looks very interesting. Since I haven't seen much, let alone play it I can't decide what vote I will cast, but I think it will definitely be better than the old SC where you just sit in a room and talk. It is more interactive and that seems to always enhance the game play. Anyway just my 2 cents.

    Yeah, I see the result is obvious, Blizzard knows what we need.
