    As the topic says, who will we destroy and make many widows?
    I believe that we will fight against.
    Zerg
    UED(remains)
    Mengsk and his boys
    Protoss guys (the crazy hokuspokus guys not the nice ones)
    Any more?

    He'll be fighting the Dominion and trying to oust Emperor Mengsk from power mostly.

    Probable battles with Protoss Khalai insurgents and Kerrigans Zerg aswell considering the length of the campaign.

    If you mean races, then obviously all except xel'naga. If you mean factions, then hopefully terrans will fight and actually defeat a powerful faction.

    Th SC terran campaigns were basically space takers. They did absolutely nothing significant in he 2 campaigns. Hopefully, we will at least seethe beginning of the downfall of mengsk or something

    @Flamingdts
    The terran campaigns played a very important part of the storyline, Mengsk's rise to dominion and even more so the United Earth Directorate's campaign, rapid successes and gains in the Koprulu sector and its control of the second overmind were integral parts of their respective full stories.

    Well I am not a big fan of starcraft(But a big fan of starcraft 2) I think the they will fight Mengsk and his boys and maybe a little bit of the zerg.

    They'll be having a good ol' rumble with Mengsk, and since they are using artifacts taken from the Protoss... there might be some conflict there.

    I doubt Raynor can defeat the Dominion; he can just hurt them.

    He can attack protoss fanatics, zerg (probably a lot) and groups like space pirates.

    I would be very dissapointed if the wing of liberty campaign would consist mainly terran vs terran battles. They should learn to kick some alien ass just like the UED did in Brood War. Perhaps Raynor and company should launch a full scale assault on Char to defend humanity from the Zerg instead of battling the Dominion.

    I wonder why in SC2 the Terrans are in the first campaign just like in SC1. By following the "correct campaign order", the order in SC2 should be Zerg, Protoss and lastly the Terrans. This make me feels that Terrans are always caught in between the Zerg and Protoss while battling among themselves. It looks like in SC the battle between the Zerg and Protoss has always been the central plot of the story.

    Anyway it looks like no matter what the campaign order cannot be change. Hopefully after the Legacy Of Void campaign, we can play other factions such as the UED or the Xel Naga.

    yeah and i hope the new races will be playable in a sc2 expansion(4th one after legacy) and not in sc3 coz that would be another 10 years of suffering and i would be 34 by then.

    Raynor's Raiders can't go to Char. It's a small group, and there are 10 billion zerg on Char. They can't even defeat the Dominion (which might have a larger population, but isn't going to have 10 billion soldiers!).

    As for the order, I don't suppose Blizzard could have switched the terran and zerg campaigns; however, it's pretty obvious by now (no confirmation yet!) that the campaign will end with the protoss vs the hybrids. Naturally, the protoss campaign must be the final one.

    Since Kerrigan has some vague inkling of the coming threat, it makes sense that her campaign will come later than the terran campaign.

    As for terrans caught between the protoss and zerg, that plot ended in Episode I! Since then, the protoss and terrans have had little reason to come into conflict.

    When describing the storyline of StarCraft: Ghost, Blizzard said it didn't involve the "greater" storyline of the protoss vs the zerg.

    I would like to see a hybrid or xel'naga (or Ulrezaj!) mini-campaign, and even a UED mini-campaign. However, I'd prefer the latter be members of the UED who are stranded in the Koprulu Sector; I don't want to see another Earth invasion fleet.

    We might get a glimpse of a new upcoming race. A surprise encounter quite possibly. Maybe the Samoengy like I was hoping or maybe the Hybrid. I think we will encounter Hybrids that's for sure. Even though this will be the 1st chapter, story-wise, it will have to shock us in one way or another.

    i think there are more than 10 bill zerg on char, more like 7 trillion or somthin like that,
    at least thats what i remeber.
    anyways i think that Raynor would mostly be fighting the dominion for artefacts or tech and some protoss because they have a lot of relics.
    zerg mabey if they're also trying to get relics(most unlikly though) soo im guessing barly any zerg fighting.

    Are we sure that she is having trouble? 10 Billion is only the estimated number of how many Zergs are on Char, for all the Terrans and Protoss know it could really be 7 googleplex's of zerg there.

    It says on Starcraft wikia: Char was selected as a base by the zerg after they captured Sarah Kerrigan on Tarsonis due to its remote location and rich resources. Its twisting cliffs, magma pools and other features enabled the zerg to hide their hatcheries and therefore hide their numbers from enemies.

    The estimated 10 billion zerg might be completely off if Kerrigan chose to make underground caves and whatnot in addition to the already elusive terrain.

    Guys, I'm new to the forum, would someone care to explain all this playable Xel'Naga speculation? Is this based on evidence or wishful thinking?

    its all really wishful thinking for most people, Blizzard said they will not add a 4th race to SC2, but they also said that the idea of adding one in an expansion is not out either. personally tho i dont think it would be worth the trouble of balancing and making the 4th race unique enough to add it in the game.
