And this proves a lot! Protoss, Terran Confederacy, Terran Dominion, they all failed misserably at getting rid of the zerg! And in such a short time, the United Earth Directorate has captured the Overmind!
@Zanator1 Indeed, and the UED expedition was still only a part of the UED armed forces.... so if they would send there full force, then even all the others combined wouldnt stand a chance.
why are they using trench warfare thats like a disadvantage they made it impossible to shoot the zerg and the zerg can attack in two directions without harm
@BacteriumsBud Naw, I prefer SC1 cutscenes and story better than the second one. Don't get me wrong second one was good too it just wasn't..... idk didn't have the right mood. SC1 was moodier and darker and more serious. SC2 just doesn't seem serious enough. Plus the graphics. Too cartoony lol
@RuskiHomie Yes, it is way advanced for nimrods like U to understand. Stick to your caliber of games if this one is too advanced, play Mario Cart and such..
am i the only one who noticed that in the second cinematic the guy sais that the zerg losses were in the millions but the number thing as going into like above the trillions? lol
@TimeOracle actually no. The UED is different from the Dominion. I'm guessing you haven't played Brood War, so I'm not sure how to explain it without giving away a lot of spoilers. It's a good game, and I suggest you try it.
@JohnMasterCheif Yeah sorry I didn't know that but still aren't the Terrans taking credit for it,or do I have to play the game to understand why they said that on the Television?
@leegeorgeson Yes, techically they're both bad guys. But that has nothing to do with your original question. So I'll just answer it. Yes Tassadar did kill the Overmind, but a few Cerebrates *forgive misspelling* merged and began to form another one. The UED managed to capture it before it could mature. That's why they said what they said in the broadcast.
I first watched this when I was quite young. Understandably, the beginning was...disturbing, to say the least. Nightmare fuel for weeks. Anyway, this is an awesome intro.
@shadowkiller3500xd No, not Blizzard, they'd either cancel it like Ghost, or make us wait ten years or some shit. Blizzard makes fun games but they SUCK on time
will UED be in HOTS it would be cool if our planet takes care of the situation in the kaporal sector after all earth is in a lonley corner of the galaxy :(
@FoolOfATook930 not a ghost, ghosts have hostile environment suits, not cmc combat suits. also his weapon is a c-14 with optional under slung grenade launcher attachment, not c-10 canister rifle 25mm automatic
@stanleythedoogle Heh, figured. But, question is, if he's not a ghost, then what is he? He doesn't fit any other starcraft unit, so I figure it must be a variation in some way of a ghost.
Why don the zergs just FRIGGEN die man! i get that its to make them look stronger and the more powerful race n stuff. but tis just so GHAIODHASDSODABSDASOB!!! it frustrates me..
@Belphemoth: I talked about this with Jason Hayes, the composer of the music. He said that he composed it himself but got inspired by some existing pieces of classical music. The language is a mixture between french and latin by the way.
@RANDOM7070 But, the thing about StarCraft, the humans are actually human, not uber-devout borderline Catholics with historic amnesia bent on universal domination and worship a 20 foot tall guy who got put into a coma by his best soldier and requires the blood of 10,000 people a day to stay alive. (quoting you) If you ask me, the 40k story sounds like weak-sauce drizzled over bon-bons. The plot of 40k is terrible.
@TheLeftHand88 both games are cool in they're own way(except for SCII..it sucks)Dow is an epic story because..hey..it's Dow :D>the universe is at war...and yes...i dissagree with 10.000 souls lost because that thing to stay alive...and i hate that the humans are fouled with the thing ,,the god emperor"...and that the space marines are a bunch rasist fanatics...but the story is quite awesome;AND Starcraft is cool because it shows how the human race would be in reality if cought in a galactic war
@RANDOM7070 Ironically enough Blizzard admitted that it was Starship Troopers (the 1997 movie) that was the inspiration for the United Earth Directorate.
well i heard a rumor some years ago that they were originally planing to make a dawn of war game, but the license was pulled or so ... so they renamed/redesigned the species a little and starcraft came out! anyway starcraft 1 beats any dawn of war or 40k game. no competition there at all :) and i like dawn of war :(
somehow... i still like a lot of stuff from the original starcraft... (Terran Based) Adjutant & Medics sounds sexier Marines and Goliaths are Badasses Firebats and ghosts looks cool at game (somewhat realistic look) in SC 2 Adjutant sounds more robotic Medics weren't that appealing Marines look cool at cinematics but not that cool with quotes Goliaths are now fatasses Firebats look more cartoonish(or something like dawn of war look) and ghosts aren't that much of a big deal...
@Speed4532 When the countdown finishes at the end of the mission, all the protoss units immediately go to the temple. It is implied that all the protoss are either on some other planet, are getting off the planet, or in the temple.
