eh, where to see the campaign summary oh?

Once you are finished, click back to "Single Player" on the main menu.

There you have the options "continue campaign" "new campaign" etc.

There are few lines of summary at the top left.

"But... we saw your soul.. and Bolvar took your helm and became the new Lick King already Arthas..."

"..... MERELY A SETBACK!!"

I wouldnt even be surprised at any "cleaver plot twist" Blizzard ever bring out anymore...

Edit: While it might not ring many for many people I actually just got to know one of the main writer of SC2 single campaign is Andy Chambers who used to work for like 15-20 years for Games Workshop (the creator of the Warhammer/Warhammer 40K universe). He pretty much brought many races like the Necrons, Tyranids and Space Wolfes from stuff only mentioned in the stories to fully playable armies in the tabletop and with full "story".

But by himself he was never a great story teller or writer so in my opinion it didnt exactly help SC2 story telling, might have helped with creation of the new units though, that guy has a knack for coming out with new cool stuff.

For the secret mission, it seems you cannot access is anymore if you landed on Char already in your current campaign.
To play it you got 2 choices:

- Load a save where you were before the Media Blitz mission or during it (Media Blitz = the mission where you unlock secret mission)
- Redo a whole campaign.

As for doing a new campaign, you restart without any leftover tech/upgrades you had in your other save, it's like when you just installed the game

Actually, you can also reload the campaign any time before Char. I did this and managed to get the secret mission.

Erm yar, I wasnt clear, my first point was more on "reload a save before Char" actually.

kianweic,

Would you like to post the copy-paste article another time?
*
It was in this thread:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1513204

Somewhere in the middle for kianweic post and then some people reactions after (including mine)

RPS article was: RPS "Tosh... How apt"

I am fairly disappointed by Blizzard job in the SC2 characters and scripts writing really, it's an accumulation of cliches and the dialogs are pretty weak.

I know it's not a RPG but still, I expected better from Blizz and I didnt remember War3 or SC1 to be that bad, in my memory they had bigger twists, character building and "woaw" moments.

I enjoyed the SP overall and especially the missions which at least were varied, its more the in-between story which was streched out and hollow in my opinion.

Hopefully it's better in HotS or I will be a bit disappointed Blizz.

I also agree with Cheeze, DoW2 (Spesh Marheeens arent supposed to be Shakespeares) or CoH (WW2 random joes) managed to put more life in their voice acting without having such charismatic characters as SC2

@Quazacolt: it's not deleted, it's in the thread I linked

@Cheese: yep, I think the graphics guys should get a raise done with the salaries of the script writers.
The menus and interface (like in Hyperion) are very well done and lots of small details.

But script writing was awful and full of one-liner.
It's not SupCom2 bad but it's a bit far from what I expected from Blizz

And quite funny your mention of Kerrigan being an evil EDI, true she was quite badly used in mostly 1-2 lines evil sentence "You can't stop me"
"You will all die"
"Nao I kill j00!"

and yeah, well said. btw, why dont you move the i hate sc2 thread to the sub forum? so ALL the sc2 hate can be focused on 1 spot, and they can have fun with themselves instead of every thread getting derailed with their petty hatred

It's not petty hate really, it's just some complaints and discussion.

I liked the game overall so I am no hater.

Didnt think it was a bother to others to have people discussing

Man you react a tad too touchily here.... was just discussing the game... which is the purpose of the subforum really.

I like it but like all games it has part you like and parts you do not like

I don't really give a crap about what others said or did, I was just posting my own comments or impressions for the game, you shouldnt come down to me like this because others did something right?

Guess critics or comments which do not praise SC2 have to be parked into a special topic to not spread their criticism to others, that would be bad really.

Won't be posting in "your" subforum anymore until HotS come out I guess, no worries, leaving Zealots together.

/Gormaz out
