So like...where is everyone at? I just finished Media Blitz and sided with Gabriel Tosh instead of Nova. Going to start Zeratul's mini missions soon.

ppl busy playing it seems.
Mine still in box, no time to even install in machine.
But colleagues asking to share it on office server.

Er... that is a very weird vide to the "asking to share it on office server."

I finished the campaign, replaying the brutal/hard mode. (don't wana invest on multiplayer just yet..)

So anyone has any tips on how to get the achievement in the mission "Zero Hour"? It just seems impossible that I have to destroy 4 hatchery with only marines and medics....

I've finished the Zeratul mini missions on brutal XD

The last mission is awesome !! I spend the whole night replaying it over and over again

weird? hahahaaaaaa in Malaysia very common.
they also wanna play, so anytime wanna play just remote to the server and launch.

17/29 on Brutal. GG for the Prophecy Arc. Good luck on that one man. One wrong move and you lose the whole final mission. Think I replayed it 7 times before I managed to win (with all achievements)

Really? The last one kinda boring to me. Mass units and you'll be ok.

now have to wait another 18 months for Heart of the Swarm

Agree with you, its almost impossible no matter how many times I tried it, perhaps any RTS gosu there could provide some strategy to obtain this achievement ? : )

Secret mission unlock!!

nais gonna try this tonite..

coz im gonna blitz through the campaign again tonite for another achievement

I youtube'd it and apparently, we just need to mass Marine & medic. The guy on the video didn't even micro....I guess i will try it out now, I just don't have enough patience previously.

Am I the only one that found the ending a bit "short"?

Ok, Kerrigan is human again but then?

The "Raynor walks towards the sun while holding Kerrigan in his arms" was okey but damn too short....

Felt a bit "wait? That's all?"

Then waited for the huge credits to roll over since Blizz sometimes have extra stuff after them... nothing...

Story was alright but a bit disappointed by the ending itself.

Hehehe

or u can bunker rush thats whut i did...
slowly building bunkers into their base hurhur of coz fitted with marines

Ok...so I completed the campaign in Normal earlier.

Then redid few missions using that campaign that I missed (the ones where you ahve to take choice).

Then decided to use the "New Campaign" to restart on hard to be able to buy new armory stuff, unlock other techs etc

Now I cannot go back to my normal campaign at all? it's all gone?

I thought we would be able to switch between the different campaigns we have (like in DoW2)

Well it does looks like starting a new campaign after you finished one erase the previous one and all your time record... it's a pretty retarded thing...
One way I saw to have multiple campaigns at the same time is to keep one save from your previous campaign.

This way by reloading it you can access the previous campaign.

Pretty bad system from Blizz really in my opinion, DoW2 system would be so much better but I guess it was made this way to avoid multiple people sharing an account to play SP...

save file at the end of every difficulty?

why they made goliath with a fat ass driver?

yar, basically looks like you have to keep your latest save for each difficulty campaign, otherwise you are pretty much screwed.

Let's say right now I have completed Normal Campaign so I have the last mission victory autosave

Then I start a new campaign on Hard and complete the first mission

The only way to go back to my normal campaign is loading the last mission autosave.

If I do this I got back access to all my normal campaign stuff so can go back to finish other missions (on any difficulty etc.)
But you cannot buy new stuff into armory, research and co.

BUT at this stage the only way to go back to your Hard campaign is to load the autosave of your hard campaign mission 1....

I really find this system stupid, if you make a mistake and override your saves you are pretty much screwed...

Would be good if they can add a system to manage multiple campaign at the same time AND make you go back to the Hyperion once you done with the last mission...

Anyone know where is the Loki in the "Engine of Destruction" campaign...

Cant seem to find it

Singleplayer is pretty fun, I started from 9 pm after work till now and it's now 1:30 am.

Now i planning complete all mission, then i only dio achievement

hahha

Are all missions necessary or one could skip some of them or there are mutually exclusive choices for certain missions?

I think some of the missions are mutually exclusive. The two I could think of now is the Tosh/Nova missions and the Save Haven/Burn Haven missions.

Just met Zeratul, how much longer to go?

That's about halfway through. Still got 10-20 more hours left.

Alright, I wanna finish the game by this weekend, if possible.

Brutal is... FKING HARD !!!

Another 10 missions to go for me.

Should be able to complete Starcraft 2 by tomorrow.

The story starts to lose it's novelty and getting ridiculous.

I better continue Witcher after i finish SC2 SP.

Another 6-7 missions to go.

Looks achievable by today.

total mission is 26 but it seems i only got 25, where did d other 1 go?

dayyuum mang

Haa, good to know, I got it on my first try on that mission so I wasnt sure (and the forums are a bit confused about this).
Thx for precision

Hi guys

Who is that guy whose dog tag was found by Jim Raynor? (before last mission)

I think only a random marine, it's usually duty of surviving soldiers to collect the dog tags of fallen marines to make sure their death is properly recorded in US army (on which SC Terrans are based)

Was to show the "people side" of Raynor I think.

At first I thought it was Warfield but you see him after that so no ^^

You can redo the missions just to do the normal achievements you missed.
Just use the "Continue Campaign" option at the main screen.

so by loading my previous save games and get the achievement it will stay in my records? good to know.... luckly I stocked alot of save games

You don't even need to reload your previous save game.

If you completed the campaign, from the main menu just go to "Continue Campaign" under the "single Player" menu, it will bring you back to the whole list of missions and from there you can replay each mission at any level of difficulty you want.

Achievements are linked to your profile so they are not dependent of the campaign.

Even if you start a new campaign you will see still all the achievements you did in your previous one.

Who's tag was Jim Raynor holding before the second last mission?

Zomg look at top of the page nub

"I think only a random marine, it's usually duty of surviving soldiers to collect the dog tags of fallen marines to make sure their death is properly recorded in US army (on which SC Terrans are based)

Honestly I am not sure but I don't think it's someone special.

Almost done, 2 more missions or 1 more to go.

24 out 26 missions.

Crap, I'm at the final mission and I missed out the secret mission. Loaded an old Hyperion save file and did the media mission to get the secret document. Did the secret mission but I have to redo all the missions after that including Char .

Okay finally finished it. Chickened on the last mission and tuned it down to Normal. Turns out the difficulty gap is huge, Normal was easy in comparison to Hard.

(I replayed it on Hard like 5 times, always get overrun when the Leviathan shows up. Goddamn thing is resistant to weaponry on Hard).

You should have done Shatter The Sky, since Nydus Worms are easier to manage since Perdition Turrets can take care of almost everything when fully upgraded.

Yeah I should. I regretted not upgrading my Vikings earlier. The +3 range would sure come in useful.

Gonna replay the whole thing in Hard once I finished my exams.

Yar, there is really a huge gap between Normal and Hard and then another one to Brutal (On Brutal I found a Siege Tank in the 2nd mission's dominion base......)

I also did Shatter the Sky, Broodlords are quite a big pain in the bottom really and I find land troops to be quite easier to handle than air for terrans for defense, combo of Perdition turrets + bunkers + siege tanks does handle quite well overall with SCVs behind.

Broodlords being able to outrange pretty much all your defense would make it harder to micro I think

Agree... Zerg Guardians can safely nuke our turrets when we are busy, so we got to build vikings and micro them

Does anyone else here think that Kerrigan is overpowered in Hard? WTF imba is her insta-kill vehicles skill.

Ending was a bit too short.

Was hoping for a longer one.

She has this ability on any difficulty.

Yes even on Casual.

On Normal, she dies before even reaching my base. (or rather, the core defense of my base, so no chance of using that on me)

But on hard, she literally can blast her way through like 4 bunkers (full), 5 siege tanks, and still have half her life left. Fuuuuuu imba.

That Energy Nova? Use it. Screw the achievement.

Or if you really want to. Spam Battlecruisers and Yamato her upon sight.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh so what exactly happened at the end?

Added on August 2, 2010, 7:30 amI think thats the best way, as it's the cheapest way to kill her.

You are probably gonna lose a few BCs than your defence line that consist of 4-5 bunkers + marines inside, siege tanks and so on.

Same here, no you just gotta redo that Media Blitz mission.

I probably do this again sometime in the future.

I'm still haven't finish wall of fire mission, no matter how may times i repeat it

So basically Raynor de-powers Kerrigan so we can spend the next SC2 Zerg expansion campaign levelling her back up

What I thought as well. This is way too obvious. Only question is whether Kerrigan becomes good (very likely), or remains the "queen b***h of the universe".

Yar, it was hinted previously that even after back to "human" form Kerrigan will keep some control on some small part of the Zerg.

Zerg xpac will be to power her up back so she can control more and more Zergs.
Meanwhile I think Duran will try to steal the rest of the Zerg from her and might be the big Vilain from the 2nd Xpac.

3rd xpacs most probably is the last fight against Xel'Naga.

Woke, damn have to replay again
Luckily i didn't delete any save file

Wrong. Micheal Koiter was a blizzard artist who passed away in 2004.

Ohhhh, good find.

Wasnt someone special IN GAME though but good catch on the name of Blizz employee.

You should know Blizzard well enough what! They put all kinds of things into their games, you just have to research abit.

Save Haven/Burn Haven

which one should i choose??

Choose both.

Play each option once.

btw i already try both option but didn't finish both of them (just try only)......when i side with that female doctor (save haven)...its seem that i can't attack that protoss mothership...why? it is already been set so i can't attack that mothership?

U need to destroy the three core first before the mothership shield going down...

Just like the movie indepence day.......

Kakakakaka

Added on August 2, 2010, 5:46 pmI like the campaign where Fight Zerg till the last standing protoss....

Hahahaha... that campaign is the most fun .........

Not saving Haven is a better choice, sounds way more interesting than saving Haven.

I can't wait to go back and not save Haven this time.

haha ok lol...get it..

just a question:

since kerrigan still has those odd looking tentacles although she's now gaining back most human parts...

jimmy raynor getting tentacle s*x every nite??


or maybe i should cut down my anime consumption for certain genre...

Thats her hair.

And if you think hair = tentacle s*x, then no you need not cut down your anime consumption.

You DO need to cut down on your Avatar consumption tho'.

Frankly, its not that you don't save Haven. You just burn out the Zerg infestation. You still get to save civilians from being infested in this mission.

I find Haven's Fall an easier mission compared to the Protoss ones, since Vikings pretty much owns any airborne unit the Zerg put out. (And surprisingly, not many Hydralisks around).

Yes, I also think Haven's Fall is quite easier than saving it, the mothership is quite powerful on its own and it spawns other units when you attack it.
Even if you can't clear up the whole cluster of Zerg you can do a suicide rush to kill the Infection-spreading building which has low health when it's not completed yet.

Frankly, from the description by my friend, I find that killing that lady is totally worth it.

i'm agree...haven fall is easier than save haven...u can still save some civilian from being infested....but in the end that female scientist infect herself with zerg virus and turned her to become zerg n attack raynor...lol..

deym. i just finish my campingan but only completed 22/26 missions.

Lol you skipped missions

You get 26/26 if you do only one side of the campaign. You can actually go back and do the other choice if you wish. (With all your goodies that you bought. )

guys.. i just read from a forum.
that Dr. Narud actually is Duran from the sc1.
u can see Narud spell backward is Duran.

Both Haven's fall and Safe Haven are easy. I enjoyed Haven's Fall using Ghost operatives to nuke the shit out of all the places. Had 6 Shadow Ops running and just spammed nukes. When minerals ran out, np I moved over to the other base and nuked it then expanded.


Safe Haven, Battlecruisers > all.


P.S : Yes, brutal mode. They have no detectors roaming lulz.

It's very highly probable yes, the coincidence is just too easy

There's just a teeny weeny little problem with the Battlecruisers tho'.

You don't get them till very, very, very late in the game.

Not unless you replay the mission after unlocking the BC. You can bring all your upgrades back when you replaying earlier missions.

Still, I find that brutal difficulty is so much more difficult. Anyone care to introduce some walkthrough website for me?Lazy to google~

^Team Liquid has guides all over it.

Question on re-playing missions for achievements. I've noticed that upgrades stick, but research doesn't. Example I've got the +2 slots and +1 range to bunker from armory - and these are 'in place' when i play the earlier missions. But I also have the zerg research +extra gun on top, and this one isn't in place on the earlier missions. Is this by design?

[edit] er no it's the other way around. i have the extra gun on bunkers but they can only fit 4 marines. weird.
