Starcraft: Brood War Opening

[NickTheHorrorMaster]

I kinda like sc2 better, i know alot of people like DARK GRITTY EMO GAHHH everything is depressing. I've got to ask you this, is there a point where this ends? Dear god they made superman dark and emo. Admittedly with some things it works I.E. batman, watchmen Warhammer. But can't we have one thing in this universe that isn't DARK AS HELL. Just one?

[ArTofPvT]

@NickTheHorrorMaster the thing is, creating story line within a game is an art. This isn't even that dark, if you think about MW2 one of the missions was to go through an airport shooting civilians. If you don't want good story lines and character development, I'm sure Barbie or Rock Band has made a game just for you.

Sidenote: Gotta love the ending music, so dramatic :) One of the last men standing, out of bullets, watching his last hope fly away... and then the zerglings

[LeperMessiah01234]

Nooo Alexei, y u have to make me kill uuuu!

[Korraganitar]

Ya know, i didnt mind Wings of Liberty, but this.... this is the starcraft i grew up with, spent countless hours on b.net with, played through the campaign over and over again with... and that music at the end as the marine on the ground realizes he is about to die... epic in a way rarely seen in today's games. Damn but i miss the 90s

[OutrageSC]

I love how in the end the guy with the glasses next to the standing marine is just waiting to die :(

[OutrageSC]

Wings of Liberty fucked up on single player story, noone can deny.

[KAS2K]

love the original...if anybody is on battle.net and fancys a 1v1....let me know

[OfficialJerla]

Do you guys think that the opening looks so much oddly familiar to Kerigan?

[mutalingbling]

3:30 left to die

[GreyJazz90]

Take us into orbit Yngwie Malmsteen.

[Kcusnza]

This cinematic was a fucking masterpiece.

[Ahivalaostia88]

ALL HEIL SC BW.

FUCK THAT SHIT CALLED STARCRAFT 2

[APimpNamedLoui]

apocalypse nowish

[luiseargote]

What is the opera-like song playing on board the Battlecruiser?

[Fearlessdoink]

@luiseargote It's called "Brood War Aria" :)

[Gammodore]

God I always felt so bad for those guys left behind. This is indeed the grim Starcraft I remember...

[Gammodore]

Man, this reminds me of the good ol' days.

[kittylactose]

ive always wondered how the bald dude with the skulls ended up in the last cutscene

[LORENSSIOK]

For me this is a lot more tactical than starcraft 2!

it is more balanced in every way

and is more fun

[ThrallBhrall]

I love the graphics of sc!

[Dude1337jeeb]

Are you prepared to go all the way with this alexei?

[joseluisnewyork]

The typical french and russian guys.

[AznDarkanine]

3:43 And then Chuck Norris comes and kills them all and rescues the Marines. :D

[Ma7uS1]

Blizzard came with the BEST CG game intro back then! (this one and the diablo 1 was the best!)

[Danny34523465]

After the battle cruiser leaves it turn into a left for dead rpg custom map. :P

[Aegir00]

this is the best fucking game ever made.. sc2 is pretty good too but.. come on...

[Hologue]

Wait, wait.

The end of this is almost the exact thing as the human Kerrigan one in SC2. The marine looks up into the sky as zerg swarm around him. I bet that was on purpose XD How fancy.

[steaknife5]

Ahaha I remember watching this back on release day and thinking 'look at how amazing the graphics are!" Oh Brood War, you lovely son of a bitch.

[tongorthestrongable]

aaa thats bringin bak some good memories!

[NoHunterFFA]

for anyone who still likes and plays this game. If you want to participate in 8 player free for alls let me know. Also if you know who GrethSC or what sc2gg is, then you definitely should join.

[boomshoot1]

@brad0544 dude really? i bet u dont even know the game, u must be BADDDD at the game

[TripleSplashAttack]

this is blizzard's best expansion still,...and i loved playing it as a kid

[Honorharringtonfan]

@brad0544 The game came out in 1998...back then this looked amazing of course 12 years now it looks like crap. Besides graphics don't mean anything at all when you got good game play and an amazing storyline.

[fonarte]

Jesus... this scared the shit out of me as a kid.

[GothicSatnist666]

DOES ANY ONE KNOW THE GUITAR SOLO PLAYING IN THE BACKROUND?? OR ATLEAST A SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT????????

[kittylactose]

ive alaways wondered what that backround guitar music is. its so bad ass

[DarkSciencez]

The music in the end and the atmosphere kind of reminds me of diablo II

[MuppeDKojo]

@WowEvanwoW This game did not come out in 2008 you fucking idiot. Its debut was in 1998. I bet u that u dont like broodwar because u get owned by people every game or u havent even played it. Scumbags like u frustrate me because all u care about is graphics and presentation. Go fking beat computers on starcraft II u fking incapable fuck

[EpicFlyingCat]

@WowEvanwoW You're quite something.

[HisCarlnessI]

@WowEvanwoW Starcraft 1 game out in 1996, I was 2, Brood War was an expansion for it that came out in 1998.

[Hobomedic]

@WowEvanwoW 2008? are you kidding me? Stop being a moron probably suck dick at starcraft two

[AZNKC]

@WowEvanwoW Please don't reproduce... ever... you offer no positive adaptive value to the fitness of the human race with your ignorance, arrogance, short-sighted-ness, Troll-ness and failure to use google in a technologically evolved world.

[ToolBoxEntertainment]

@WowEvanwoW I wonder what I was playing in 2000...?

[BigBi11230]

@WowEvanwoW lol of course ............ if they dont make starcraft 1 how the starcraft 2 come out dump ass

[Caike42u]

i used to think that was the most coolest cinematic ever back in the old days...

now .... it still is!

[USSCannonFodder]

As the marine looked up, seeing what little hope of rescue let alone retaliation disappear into the stormy sky, the marine could only send forth this message under the inevitable mountain of zerglings: HAAXS!!

[Thremle]

Meanwhile in intros of WH40k-based games:

BLOOD DEATH BOLARS FIRING MINIROCKETS LOL BCUS ITS SO COOL AND EDGY ORKS WAAGHAN SPES MAREN KILLAN DEM SOO COOL BIG PAULDRONS BIG HATS BIG TANKS OMG IT'S BETTER THAN DRAGON BALL Z WHERE PEPUL SCREAM FOR 5 EPISODES STRAIGHT TO GET ENERGY OR SOME SHIT SOOO COOOOL FOR TEH EMPERAR LOL

It's really nice to see you have good content in these cutscenes, wh40kbros.

[MrBeauJango]

@Thremle mate what this is awesome but the first dawn of war intro is boss you have to admit

[funnyanimationguy]

Wait so he lit an other cigar right after not even finishing the first one?

[MikailCaboose]

@funnyanimationguy The first one got knocked to the ground.



[AstropilotStudios]

Cinematic aren't as hardcore as these anymore...

[crazy4sian]

@AstropilotStudios Blizzard got lazy from World of Warcraft and forgot how to be hardcore.

[theyellowjesters]

terran campaign in brood war was my favourite. i think DuGalle and Alexi were cool...

[leegeorgeson]

Dick move to leave that guy there. The least they could have done was bombard his position.

[jpark1115]

ahh this is the dark, gritty starcraft world i grew up with. i find sc2 too shiny and cartoony.

[GSenChe]

@jpark1115 You damn right!

[0kazaki]

@jpark1115 ur an idiot X)

[2moonsfun]

@jpark1115 When Starcraft was released it looked like a 4D game would looks like today

[IIIJFRIII]

@jpark1115 perfectly sed man, 100% agree with you.

[karti200]

@jpark1115

Dude i remember when i was 5 years old i ALWAYS close my eyes at 0:08 to ain't see this zergling kill that marine :D

[puchoo]

and who know the guitar theme ? or it was made special for the game ?

[puchoo]

i see apocalypse now inspiration here

[CMBrannstrom]

Mr. Malmsten have seen some crazy shit.

[Acunga]

Can really smb explain what exactly they talk because I have this conversation with a friend since we were 5th grade, THe marine sais where is the air support right?

[davidlee723]

@Acunga Yeah that is correct. "Who is in charge here? Where is the air support?"

[varun009]

when he first pointed up at the battle cruiser i thought he was flipping him off.

[kriszium]

1:06 Meet the first Marauder.

[IsArtanisAzn]

"Admiral, shall we intervene?"

"Take us into orbit." = "no let's ditch these retards"



[notmyname33]

2:36 Sexual tension peaks.

[Jarheadftw]

0:41 He starts off with 199 bullets... and he happens to not kill either 1 of the 2 zerglings. Fucking joke hahah.

[Nemesis0300]

@Jarheadftw The point is;

DuGalle's dialogue, "unleashing them on men, is another.." is supposed to be represented in that scene. Basically, it's easy to cut them open when they're dead, but in combat, 200 rounds can't even kill them. Not because his aim sucks or anything, but because the zerg in that scene are incredibly strong broods as foretold in the Starcraft Wiki. It demonstrated the loss of the planet -- which is why Stukov and DuGalle left..

[Ilivefortheswarm]

HOW THE HELL IS MY COMMENT NO LONGER TOP! I HAVE 77 LIKES, the TOP COMMENTS HAVE 20 THIS IS SO NOT FAIR!

[weide1994]

@Ilivefortheswarm so what?...everyone has a chance to get a top comment even the thumb up is lesser than yours..

[jsweeney0530]

anyone more scared of that marine's mouth than anything the Zerg can throw at you?

[OrangeBlob101]

why is one of the recommended videos punjabi cute girls!

[ironworm6666]

0:05, Cho'Gath lololol



[LazyKoreanBum]

:40-:45 how the fuck did you drain that ammo so damn fast!?

[karnaoubas]

I want the guitar lick sounding when the 2 marines talk. NOW!

[MegaOpie123]

@karnaoubas

shut the fuck up faggot

[karnaoubas]

@MegaOpie123 No, no it should be: "Shout the fock op faggout" you illiterate homophobic hillbilly cowboy. Just like the way you talk down under. Go hunt some marmots.

[IIIJFRIII]

Yea, we really need anuther broodwar badly.

[Elim777]

Thumbs up if you notice the sound the marine's gun makes is the same as the Goliath's

[Joe22c]

@Elim777 haha totally noticed that.

[blackbeardmorris]

Badass marine just sits there and rocks out.

[PhilKenSebben110]

1:13

DAT LIP SYNC

[Festabenkaj]

Seriously that hydralisk in the beginning is retarded, it only manages to hit the dirt around the marine :P

[Tremmor500]

That's the same look that Kerrigan gives when she realizes no one's coming for her.

[simsim646]

they should make a game called Starcraft: marines

[GodAloneBeTheGlory]

Since when do marines have ammo count?

[nubbubnub]

anyone else sees the forever alone guy in the thumbnail?

[Sentinel04]

back when blizzard had soul

[ihavesomerice]

starcraft 2 expansion

UED comes back with their big guns "they have more advance tech cuz they arent some prisoneers that landed on the planet"

[Yune2ofdoom]

Goddamnit the UED is supposed to be awesome... COME BACK! BIGGER! BADDER! BAD-ASSERER!

[MrElcangripai]

they need the UED to come back bigger and badder than before in starcraft 2

[bbenjoe]

@MrElcangripai

Good idea, too bad that the entire ... "expeditionary force".... of the UED had been destroyed, no vessel of the retreating fleet ever reached Earth. Just a few stragglers survived, only to go on mercenary ways...

[MrElcangripai]

This was Early on after the arrival of the UED a colony was sacrificed to the zerg so that the UED could observe live zerg in action.

[TheMultiRaude]

Anyone here want's Starcraft Brood War HD ?

[461penguin]

I didn't think the "Air support" would be in the air, I thought it would be underground. Kinda ruined it for me.

[zildjianuo7]

@461penguin He couldn't see the battlecruiser so he asked the guy where it was. The lights turning on was supposed to reveal that to you.

[antikoerper256]

WHERE IS THE AIR SUPPORT?!!??!1!!!!11one

*guitar solo*

[Justin5637]

they FINALY have at least 1 marauder in starcarft brood war

[pwn4fun7]

still epic

[1993haruhi]

your vodka can wait, my good alexei!! EPIC

[xxMrFablexx]

Gotta love how that marine missed even though he had like 200 rounds. Were they trained in the Imperial Storm Trooper Marksmanship Academy?

[pepinozinanasshole]

Thats the way their rifles should look like long and juicy!!

[Aechis]

A: - So, Gerard, have you seen those zerglings with carapace upgraded to 3?

G: - Yes, Alexei, but they hadn't the metabolic boost.

A: - Also, the Dominion is full of noobs who friendly fire on their own infantry.

G: - Alexei, are you prepared to play Zerg in this expedition?

A: - What about those space rednecks down there, Gerard?

G: - Almost as expensive as the zerg, Alexei. Almost as expensive.

[IIIJFRIII]

@Aechis lolol

[Pzypro]

Man, watched this like 20+ times now and I always get goosebumps towards the end just as the battle cruiser starts leaving and the opera gets louder. Sooo epic.

Also, the SC2 story so far is absolute !@#$. The 10mission Terran campaign in vanilla was more interesting than all of WoL. Damn shame!

[MoterCrozz]

This look's A LOT like warhammer 40k...I'm going to be spamed am I?

[Goldfarseer]

@MoterCrozz

The universe is based off Warhammer 40k. But, they are allowed to copy Warhammer 40k as they pay Games Workshop enough royalties to keep them happy.

[MoterCrozz]

@Goldfarseer Okay.Thx for the info.

[shadowtygo]

@Goldfarseer Barely this is NOT a copy of that damn series this took inspiration from that and countless other pieces of Scifi media.

[Goldfarseer]

@shadowtygo

Don't make a comment in which you contradict yourself.

[shadowtygo]

@Goldfarseer how is that a contradiction? so a copy is = to taking inspiration. never knew that was the EXACT same thing.

Don't make a comment in which you don't understand certain definitions.

[Goldfarseer]

@shadowtygo

Don't make a comment period unless you understand the colloquial contexts with which others convey their thoughts, facts, and opinions.

Are you trying to deny that Blizzard pays royalties to Games Workshop to use their ideas? Simply find someone who has access to their checkbooks and you can see for yourself.

[shadowtygo]

@Goldfarseer What was the point of the first point, All I see from that is meaningless dribble.

No but just because they pay royalties that DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A COPY you idiot, Do not make a comment if you don't understand certain definitions, not only that but take your own advice.

You have to pay royalties for using certain names (that aren't unique at that) does that = copy? Nope.

[Goldfarseer]

@shadowtygo

I have not disputed your point, just the relevancy of your post, which is still irrelevant.They pay royalties because they used GW's Intellectual Property and incorporated it into their own work. Essentially copying and pasting it in with other Scifi media as you pointed out. Q.E.D.

[shadowtygo]

@Goldfarseer With that I say look at a dictionary I could say you copied off of the first guy who went on the internet.

[fellinpoop]

I love this game I always have a great time.

now that Starcraft II came out

Thous great times are now memories

[Reptilico]

This cinematic is a kind of tribute to a scene from Apocalypse Now :D

[Flyinghotpocket]

rpg infantry? i dont remember this unit in the game..

[Nemesis0300]

@Flyinghotpocket He used the grenade launcher on his gun. They have been seen using it in other cut-scenes in Starcraft; Aramingo.



[Nemesis0300]

Seriously, I have wanted it forever.

[Nemesis0300]

What is the song that the Marine is listening to at 1:09 ?

[Reductable]

29 ppl didnt get their air support

[Dconquist]

Best Blizzard intro.

Man, what happened to StarCraft?

[MrFurbinator]

@Dconquist It got a shit ton better.

[Madnessdefender]

How Did They Firebat Get Killed At 0:28?

[WonderWaffleNin616]

at :50 if only missile turrets worked like that...

[Canadianboy1234565]

Starcraft for life...

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

Does anyone know what the lyrics are saying?

[KeViNZP]

@TheVoiceOfReason93 I think it's in a different language. :]

/watch?v=OEUQ7Xkdz9g

[KeViNZP]

So, the UED targeted mostly on the Zerg.

Was it because they thought that the zerg posed the highest threat?

If that was their reason...

Then, I'd agree.

Since in Starcraft 2 (Campaign), when the Zerg made a sudden attack on almost every world, they conquered quite quickly.

[le0jay]

@KeViNZP No, the UED saw the Zerg as a useful weapon to use against the Koprulu Terrans. Hence all the talk about "unleashing them on man."

[KeViNZP]

@le0jay Well, they are right. In SC2, when Zerg made a sudden attack, they conquered quite quickly.

[Szgerle]

@le0jay

Well, they DID succeed where the protos couldnt end enslaved the entire zerg race.

If not for kerringan, the UED would rule Koprulu.

And it was just ONE fleet of the UED.

[le0jay]

@Szgerle Granted, but it was a massive fleet sent to retrieve an entire system. And is it just me, or has the storyline for SC2 been dumbed down since Brood War?

[Szgerle]

@le0jay

It was. I like space western but it was to much TIDINGS OF DOOOOOOOOM to be taken seriously.

[le0jay]

@Szgerle yeah it was riddled with cliches and melodrama. Damn shame, SC1 had an amazing story.

[Szgerle]

@le0jay

You cant make a story without cliches, you can just tone it up.

In BW zerg campaign, Raynor primises Kerrigan that he will kill her. Then suddenly entire SC2 is about some alcoholic space cowboy dealing with breakup. Then a wise injun shaman comes brining TIDINGS OF DOOOOOM and they fight the corrupt space railroad tycoon together.

I wouldnt mind this as an off-camoaing like Enslavers was in SW but for main story it was shit.

[le0jay]

@Szgerle exactly, the whole thing just did not make sense in context of what came before it, random accents being the least of it. That and the dialogue was obvious and painful.

[miszaparanoik]

Apocalyps Now .... :D

[jonetwashere]

yes the life of soldiers have are garbage because tom kazansky acept the suicide for this has invented the infested marine and the really tom kazansky are gay for lost 2 lifes and are stupid the marines dont fire anything.

[jonetwashere]

yes the life of soldiers have are garbage because tom kazansky acept the suicide for this has invented the infested marine and the really tom kazansky are n gay for lost 2 lifes and are stupid the marines dont fire anything.

[kiyosk]

why does the starcraft 2 doesnt have the appeal of the old starcraft?

[Lionheart1188]

@kiyosk They concentrated all on MP the derps --_--

[phantom420o]

actually that is not the first marauder and no there were no marauders in Starcraft untill SC2

In Starcraft: Ghost firebats had more than the normal flame weapon and usually the rockets were given to firebats because they are all into that crazy fire burn boom shit

[phantom420o]

i bet that fucker is stimmed beyond repair

[TrilogyLegend]

3:07 reminded me of Tychus doing the exact samething but from a different angle. and both of these characters were betrayed in some way. Coincidence... i think not.

[ltsmum3316]

3:30 reminds me of Jason Stathom

[ltsmum3316]

I have been dying to know what the rock song is.

[Joe22c]

Still sends shivers down my spine; friggin awesome

[ConCon19143]

It's a shame i cant play Starcraft anymore unless i get XP back, Fuck windows 7 for ruining Starcrafts colors!

[terminx12]

@ConCon19143 You can fix it just look all over youtube you will find a way

[WALKMAN024]

not going to lie. we need a remake of the brood war.

[Lethn]

@WALKMAN024 What they should do is do an re-make of the entire thing with the Starcraft 2 engine, but knowing Blizzard they'll do what Bungie is doing with Halo and just make it a console exclusive and completely abandon the people who played the game first just like the UED do in this scene :(

[Masamune3rd]

@Lethn

In fairness to the UED, they have no reason to save this "experiment" they created. They were the ones who lured the Zerg to this Dominion outpost to see how the Zerg fight. Why would they save their enemies?

[KaoshimaCheshire]

@Lethn

1. Bungie isn't making the new Halo games, Microsoft bought the rights from them and is making them themselves.

2. What do you mean console exclusives? Halo was never on any other console but the 360 (aside from Halo CE's PC version), likewise Starcraft was never on anything but the PC (excluding the N-64 port). You can't screw over your original fanbase by releasing subsequent games on the same platform your original was.

[VeHea]

@WALKMAN024 why?

[ExecutorArtaris]

@WALKMAN024 only the brood war? the blizzad should reamke the whole SC 1! I would buy it!

[MairouTV]

@WALKMAN024 You can play brood war campain in SC2.

[IIIJFRIII]

@WALKMAN024 100% agree with you. I dont know if it can be done thou, BW was just so epic, trying to meet those standerd would be almost to great. But i pray we get one, and a better battle net in SC2 that has many more units like all the classics that will be werth playing.

[KeplerSC]

@WALKMAN024

No, we don't. Just play the game, there's no need for a remake.

[WALKMAN024]

@KeplerSC so you wouldnt like to see one of the greatest games of all time remade in 2011??? think about it.

[AMYuntold]

@WALKMAN024 I'm not going to keep it in, THERE IS NOTHING STUPIDER THAN REMAKING STUFF.

[zetalore]

wow, this opening was so epic.

[JoFrBl]

i was sorta hopeing to see the UED again in starcraft 2. not sure y just thought it would've been to neat thing to put in or have Duran in that secret lab level

[Nachwuchsgittarre]

HAT WAS VON STAHRSHIP TROPERS

[DarkTowerTube]

What an intro. I saw the intro for StarCraft2 and it doesn't touch this one. This one is much darker and moody. The music was the perfect touch too.

I like how that dude chose to light up a new, fresh expensive cigar rather than picking up the first one the ground, kinda like how they are just using the soldiers' lives at their disposal. Just tossing things away like trash. Fucking evil lol
