The Ascension

[datsfantastic]

The music brings this scene together, its so tragic

You really get a sense that perhaps the UED's defeat was inevitable

[CTIA3]

Proud Dugalle is supposed ti be French, he was the SHIT.

[kingchideau876]

The part at 1:49, I always try to imagine the context. Like, maybe thats the last Zerg mission, where the UED and Dominion make a temporary alliance.

[faerie7dragon]

The Marine at 2:11 is the perfect image for this ending.

Have faith in Raynor boys, he has grown up a lot since SCI, I just wish to see Kerrigan die in a way that a  "Bitch queen of the Universe" deserves, as she did named herself that day.

[adios616]

@faerie7dragon actually in the end of sc2 jim saves kerrigan

[kuroshashu]

@adios616: Spoiler much?

[ASubHumanOfSociety]

Hopefully, but that'd sorta suggest that the UED is pretty stupid to come back. XD

[omegastar19]

@ASubHumanOfSociety Well, seeing as it was only the expeditionary force that was destroyed, while the UED itself (earth etc.) was not affected at all, its highly likely that they will either show up in the koprulu sector again (thats the area where the terran empire is), or we will finally visit earth in starcraft 2.

[ASubHumanOfSociety]

It'd be interesting to see the eugenicist, sorta communist Earth. Like I said, it'd be a good thing to see, but I wouldn't be surprised if the UED only grows by a small notch. They'd be surprised at what they'd see in the Koprulu Sector. Scare the heck out of them. I'm curious on how the story's gonna go... :D

[ASubHumanOfSociety]

I love 1:51, PURE KARMA FOR BOTH SIDES.

[ASubHumanOfSociety]

In the epilogue it said that not one of them from the UED got back to earth to report what had happened, so i doubt there'll be anything about them.

[rajajonconcon]

where can i get the song at 1:34?

[K0IKarp]

@rajajonconcon I don't know if you still want it or not but it's back in Starcraft 2. Go to 5:10 of this song: /watch?v=drASutdHHjA

[indiegabe]

As he said, their pride killed them. That's what I hated about them, their pride.

[indiegabe]

Dugalle's moment was touching, still, he was a jerk. He and the UED just sat by and watched as other terran got slaughtered in the beginning.

One thing's for sure though, I hate Kerrigan.

[JacksonAK92]

Dugalle was the man. I really hate raynor I hope they add another cool general like dugalle in sc2.

[Krogoth04]

1:50 really shows the terrans desperation, thats a korhal and ued marine together

[dudevizz]

Favorite was fenix i used a cheat just so i dident have to kill him T_T

[Kaarel314]

He should have at least died gloriously in battle.

[CrAzYMaN12121]

Dugalle was my favourite character in the game...i felt so sad when watching this............ " tell our children that i love them and that their father died in defence of their future" so sad.........

[paranoid090]

Stukov isn't dead, he was reanimated by the zerg and later uninfested by Raynor and his allies. Stukov lives once more.

[Tadashi2]

Blizzard said they might put him in Starcraft II

[arrogowski]

Dugalle's goodbye/confession letter is monumentally epic emotional

[Nukegoa]

Anyone know what the music playing from 1:30?

[TheLoneMarine]

Okay...right.

[TheLoneMarine]

they were quite...stupid. Taming the Zerg?

[Commandos12]

human is strong!!!! we have UED2, *the return of the killer UED* lmao

[Commandos12]

lmao this admiral is using a luger 9mm hahahaha

[jc1341]

I played the bonus mission before this and man it looks very very cool I cannot wait for SC2

[veslar]

Very touching!Gerrard Dugalle was a noble man who just underestimate his enemies too much.

[WARMAKER1814]

man bummer for Degaul but what is the song that he plays before his death?

Pls msg me if you know

[HeavyOrdnance]

Msg me too

[gogeex]

wow. this was so freaking awesome when i had to stay up till 1 in the morning to beat this game and i was shivering in my room because this was so cool.

[jikjik555]

sarah kerrigan hate her such a bitch betrayer, but she is powerful but i like the best ZERATUL the dark templar

[ale89515]

What are you talking about? Sarah Kerrigan was voted #2 best video game villain of all time, and IMO she's #1. Sephiroth? Please. "I am the Queen of Blades, and my stare alone would reduce you to ashes." A completely convincing, badass female fallen hero.

[XEL777]

DuGalle is the very morally ambigious character. More than Stukov. The DuGalle's part of cutscene is indeed very moving.

[DahKoDaeVonos]

Lol

Kerrigan isnt that frightening

Its the Ones who Control Duran that should be feared

Kerrigan is nothing to them

and we all well all who got the secret level on the Zerg know

who that is lol

[Aldrius]

We have no proof one way or the other that those who control Duran are TOUGHER than Kerrigan.

Just that they're more... creative.

[DahKoDaeVonos]

wow

i didnt think i would ever get replied to hehe

very true, we really dont know if they are stronger,

and yes

more ..Creative..to put it lightly lol

[claventin]

Well, for me it's pretty obvious Duran is controlled by the Xel'Naga. While Protoss was their perfect creation of spirit, Zerg was their perfect creation of essence as said. I just assume the Xel'Naga are back to finish their experiments and create the supreme race ...

What ever will come out of the worlds they have seeded with those new creatures is exciting ... and scary :p

[DahKoDaeVonos]

the Protoss were given a distinct Purity of Form/Body and the Zerg a Distinct Purity of Essence/Spirit

sorry i realize this is a really late reply

[XEL777]

Duran himself confirmed his masters to be "far greater power" and from Metzen, Duran, Zeratul words and hint in Dark Templar Saga it's pretty obvious that they are actually Xel'Naga.

[Aldrius]

Duran said it.

Duran could be bluffing, lying, exaggerating. He could even just be something as simple as being mistaken.

[pogiako098]

Whew... I hope that "the cure" Stukov was subjected is true... so Raynor can get his hands on one of those and return Kerrigan to his former form... We'll see if that's true in Starcraft 2... mehehee

[xKrayZee]

Him? Kerrigan is a female. :P

[Tadashi2]

I fpokes her nose into Earth space she'll be wiped out. After all, 30 Battlecruisers (UED fleet) was ONLY a fragment of the Earth Fleet, and a small one at that.

[fac3ofsh1t]

wts that song that he puts on??

[ltflak]

I just hope that Starcraft 2 has a character like Dugall, maybe someone Japanese. It just wouldn't be the same with only rednecks and texans

[chrispollock]

forgetting russians, french and duran, who is black, which is basically africa

[adventwarlord]

I love this cinematic. This, the intro to Brood and the Battle of the Amirago are probably the best in the series so far. Dugall's letter was really touching in its own way and it was sad watching him prepare for his suicide. I can't wait to see what great cinematics Starcraft 2 will have.

[TerranGhost248]

well he was gonna get killed soon after he wrote the letter, i guess he would rather die by the hands of himself than Kerrigans Broods.

[chrispollock]

he could have fought to the last at the helm of his flagship and THEN shot himself when it seemed hopeless

[Darroth]

low self-esteem

[Thedutchjelle]

The Inauguration was pretty good as well.

[Tadashi2]

Chemical weapons wont have an effect because the Zerg have airtight carapaces that enable them to survive in space; if they can survive in space, do you think they can't survive chemical attacks?

[nyl962]

They still have to breath dont they? I'd always assumed that in space they had an airsac they breathed from or could hold thier breath for a long time. I suppose if they could hold it that long they could just hold their breath until the gas cleared though.

[Amperture]

Actually, no, the Zerg DON'T have to breathe.

[ASOTW]

corrosive acids and flammable chemicals would have more than the desired effect. look at how effective firebats are.

[nyl962]

What I've always wondered, If the protoss and terrans both have mechanation and presumably the technology to create gasmasks, why dont they just use chemical weapons on the zerg, who would have no defense against them?

[Aldrius]

Who says they have no defense against them? The zerg substitute technology with biological evolution. They could be immune to it for all we know.

[lightinfantry]

the terran commander killing himself has got to be the best ending of any game ever, yay for the cool early blizzard and not the WOW whores they are today

[Aerials357]

Damnit, I want SC2 to come out so i can kick "the queen of blades"'s ass!

[Aiur25]

Damn zergs if I had managed the protoss in the zerg campaing Aiur would have never been invaded.

[iliketoplaygames]

whats name of this song that the guy places

[brainwasher9876]

damn...that was so sad...it must suck to be him.

[DaevonDark]

k correction on what i previously stated

umm the overmind created the cerebrates before he had the Xel'Naga Destroyed

not all were destroyed

just well most of which who were incharge of watching over the Zerg

lol

and yes its true

i am a huge StarCraft Fanatic

so telling me to get a life wont have any effect whatsoever

[lltsu]

Humanity is doomed!!

[DaevonDark]

then after that the Protoss Destroyed the Overmind

the Cerebrates then merged to create a new Overmind

Kerrigan then used the protoss and terrans to help her gain control of the swarms and destroy the overmind

Kerrigan then turned on and eradicated most of her allies

She Then Rose Up As Queen Of The Zerg

[chrispollock]

and kerrigan is alone. she must get lonely being surrounded just by zerg creatures

[L4s4gn3]

Ah don't worry. zerg are really nice guys once you know them a little better. ^^

[DaevonDark]

The Xel'Naga Sired the Protoss

they then abandoned the Protoss

The Xel'Naga then Sired the Zerg

but they had no way of contacting them so they Created the OverMind as their voice to the Zerg

the Overmind then Had most of the Xel'Naga Destroyed

then the overmind Created his Cerebrates

Then Kerrigan

then he rose up on Auir

[Malamockq]

And then the Protoss killed the Overmind, and most of the Cerebrates. Kerrigan is next to die.

[KeronWolf]

How would I take on the zerg?

"Commander, we have assembled a large enough fleet to allow your operation. Bombard the zerg homeworld and the infested station Kerrigan thrives on. Leave nothing standing. Scorched earth." (I doubt a cerebrete with absolutely nothing around it would be able to live much longer before the protoss come in to finish the job)

Down with the zerg! Go terran!

[DaevonDark]

do you even know the name of the Zerg Homeworld?

[Nathster]

Zerus, but that got destroyed by the xel'naga and they went on Char.

[DaevonDark]

okay

[Nageros]

After all this time i've returned to the swarm again... i the overmind will carry the task that i've left time ago and seek the unification of essence and form

[lltsu]

The biggest bitch in the university.

[DaevonDark]

and to think Kerrigan wouldnt be who she is if it wasnt for Arcturus Mengsk

[TerranGhost248]

I am Admiral Helmer due to the UED not returning a new one shall emerge and try to find the remnants of the missing fleet. Then we will ally with the protoss and the rest of the terrans to annihilate the rest of Kerrigans zerg swarm! Humanity shall live on! LONG LIVE HUMANITY!!!

[DaevonDark]

at the Zerg homeworld of Origin will remain safe since its on the other side of the Galaxy yayyyyyyyy

i wish they would come out with a new game apart from ghost i mean like after this cinematic

[LAggy123123]

they should make a wepeonn of mass destruction where only one race can be destryoed

[Bellato88]

well as long as they dont have earth .the greatest military technology in the galaxy will rise and win through to absolute victory.and besides you cerebrates dont look so though when we got our yamato guns blastin ya and our laser batteries rainin hell on ya.

[DaevonDark]

i have yet to witness a yamato gun take out an immortal Cerebrate

well immortal to everything apart from dark templar

but still i have yet to see a weak human weapon take out one of my brethren

[LAggy123123]

dam weak ass adirmal wow retarterd. Well in this kind of way if UED is losing they should try gaing allies with protoss what raynor did

[Aldrius]

They did try that. The Dominion, UED and the Protoss all allied in the hope of killing Kerrigan and wiping out the Swarm.

They failed. MISERABLY. The UED fleet got wiped out, the Dominion and Protoss were allowed to retreat to their respective homeworlds for their hand in Kerrigan's take-over.

[lordvalek]

I am the Admiral Pavel Arkan. The UED are going to come back and erradicate all hostile presence in koprulu sector , only the earth will dominate the entire universe , for the glory of the earth directorate

[DaevonDark]

im happy to know none of them ever made it back to earth

i only wish kerrigan made them suffer just a little bit more

[Uaxis]

Dude who fuckin cares. It's fiction.

[Malamockq]

We care. Now go run back to getting molested by your father.

[DaevonDark]

hahahahaha i love this cinematic

die weak terrans

die worthless protoss

i am the Cerebrate DaevonDark

merciless servant of my Queen Kerrigan

showdownvc you rock thankyou for uploading this

[payot]

The Cerebrate you play in the game is Araq.

[DaevonDark]

Really

ooooooo kool name

[Uaxis]

No, your wrong. His name is 'Cerebrate'. Simple. Read the novels. They never mention his name.

[Malamockq]

Araq is a different Cerebrate. The Cerebrate you play is unnamed.

[MortonDevonshire]

fail

[DaevonDark]

fail what?

[Tassadar1992]

I am your worst nightmare DaevonDark. Die servant of kerrigan

[LeeroyFan101]

What a pussy he took the easy way out rather than dying in battle.

[Stillzero]

he killed himself out of guilt for killing his best friend. he didn't know the zerg were coming.

[LeeroyFan101]

No he knew, they lost remember. He even said something that the creatures they came to tame were untamable. Its like what the Japanese did during WW2 they killed themselves rather than face the shame of defeat.

[Uaxis]

Or any other time for that matter. Those Japanese had taken it from the Samurai of preserving honor. The Samurai even had laws allowing one to preserve honor through ordering him to kill himself.

[nemasen]

He is French
