  • Is it me or ist he sound lagging just slightly in this particular upload of the Brood Wars intro?

  • Broodwar cinematics were pretty rad.

    It feels like SCII got the COD treatment; as if the devs got a large group of 11 year olds together and asked them what they thought was the coolest shit ever, then made a game with it.

  • A lot of people don't realize that the trench scene is a big reference to Apocalypse Now. Especially the black marine with the grenade launcher -- but because this was a kid's game he couldn't say "motherfucker" after he blew the Zergling apart :D

    Seriously, watch Apocalypse Now and you'll realize exactly when you get to the Broodwar Intro... even the background music is the same.

  • @TheAle89515

    Holy shit, I just noticed that. Oh god, how many years has it been since BW was released?

  • The colony should have known better, build only marines and you get a zergling rush.

  • They say terran are mainly criminals that first guy didn't look like a criminal

  • That marine went through something like 190 rounds without connecting a single shot.

  • Starcraft cinematics were so deep. Starcraft II cinematics are so cheesy. That's really the cut and dry of it.

  • Somebody should remind activision to watch this intro again the next time they claim that starcraft "was always cartoony"

  • Where is the air support!!!

    In the air!

  • sc1, still a classic. no game will beat it on my list.

  • Brood War story and cinematics....were against SC 2 so adult.....I hate Jims words "Because some thing are just worth fighting for"......Blizzard shoud know, that we want adult EPIC story.....

  • The complex friendship between Gerard and Stukov with Duran working them against each made for an awesome story. SC2 just felt cliche.

  • WHOS IN CHARGE HERE!?

    ...

    WHERE IS THE AIR SUPPORT!?!?

    (points up)

    My favorite part of the cutscene.

  • Seems to me that since Wow Blizzard started to make games suiting 12 year old children looking for some mega uber epic action. I liked Starcraft becouse the vision about future was dystopic with little hope for the future. SC2 uniwerse have this Wow inspiration that i just don't like. Ghost Academy? Nova? When I read about this of SCwiki I thought "WTF did they just do with this game? What next? High school musical for F%&* sake?

  • i almost hate starcraft 2. all of the good portraits and voices like the archon, siegetank and the zealot are gone. even the looks of most of the units got screwed. the only race that had improvements in my point of view were the zerg and even they got hit hard. i prefer starcraft 1 anyday!

  • The terran love to leave people behind.

  • Zerg is so badass!

  • *After replaying this 30 times*

    Take us into bed Mr. Legs. We've seen enough.

  • Your vodka can wait, my good Alexey! xD

  • Awesome Battlecruiser appearance with an exiting electric guitar background tune!

  • @alanedwards09 i believe he is supposed to be a vulture but yea i can understand that he is like a marauder

  • lol my marines never run out of ammo

  • just realized the black guy was pretty much a marauder from sc2 o.O

  • this pretty much sums up our war against the furfags. (zerg are effin awesome they are not furfags)

  • whoever was macroing those zerg sucks

  • This intro movie is taken from Apocalypse Now

  • I just love how the black guy is calmly rocking back and forth listening to rock n' roll.

  • @egyptage Seemed to me like he was kinda freakin out a little. One of those "I wanna go home I wanna go home" things.

  • Epic

  • Thumbs up if you want a FPS starcraft game jus cuz this scene

  • People who LOVE the UED. I need you to create a UED team in Starcraft 2!

    Send me a personnal message, and I shall direct you to the topic where I explain the project on the SC2 Forums!

    Thank you, and for HUMANITY!

  • @sumerian88 There is a UED team??? WOOO! I have SC2 I would love to join a UED forum

  • I love the heavy metal music

    

  • The only thing i really love about SC1 over SC2 are these raw ass cinimatics

  • The guy in the beggining.... si that General Warfield????????

  • @DozeroTh No, there are Dugall ans Alexei.

  • @Kerbostyle I meant the blacky one

  • UED is teh mosdt powerfull faction ofa ll..

    they really NEVERused wepon or tecnology from earth

    they stole it from dominium

    while terrans were ocupied fighting between each other, humans of earth had been developing weapons, and otehr things, they tecnologgy is far mroe advanced tahn the ones of teh terrans

  • @cseijif If they stole it from the Dominion then how did they get to Dominion space in the first place? Plus the Valkyrie was a design made and introduced by Dominion forces. Hell if all there tech is more advanced than anything the Dominion had then why did they use Behemoth battlecruisers when they had better tech? Plus the UED are terrans as well mate. Hell if you want to be technical they are more Terran than the Dominion as they had just arrived from Terra.

  • @EvilCleric in those big transport, thats teh only thing they had trransport and a pauir of tanks

    UED is teh most powwerfull faction men, pwns domninium, pwns zerg, and pwns toss

  • @cseijif And yet they are forced to retreat after getting the crap kicked out of them. That and en route, the Zerg jumped the main fleet again and decimated it to the point none of the ships ever made it back.

  • @EvilCleric using dominium tecnology.. no surprise

    and storys ays earth had ABSOLUTe knowledge of teh alien races before the terrans, and teh UED was formed for taht reason , to reclaimj teh coloniez and kick the shit out of em, and they send an EXPEditionary forece.. not even using earths tecnologgy....

    zerg +dominium+protoss<UED

  • @cseijif Humans don't have absolute knowledge on either the Protoss or the Zerg. And why send out an expeditionary force without the technological advantage you have failed to even provide even the slightest amount of proof for? Why throw away a technological edge especially in the face of two deadly alien species. In the end they lost a massive amount of personnel and materials with absolutely no gain. Hell Admiral DuGalle even says the creatures they'd been sent to tame are untamable.

  • @EvilCleric they were send on a mision, but tehy grew overconfident what was his doom, i would eb better admiral tahn dugalle by far.....

    any noob with some sort of knowledge about starcraft would be

    proude bastards

    he says so" MY PRIDE RUINED ME AND MY MISSION."

    UED FTWWW

  • @cseijif End yet you haven't given a single piece of proof that supports the UED being this god faction you make it out to be.

  • Marine Assault Rifle sound was much better in Broodwar than in SC2...

  • What is the name of the song listened by soldier in 1:06 ?

  • @nor94 Its probably an original track inspired by the Jimmy-Hendrix-esque music in the Do Lung Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now.

  • MUST...HAVE...EPIC...RUSSIAN OPERA MUSIC. Where is that song from?!!? I can't find it on teh interwebs

  • @Hornyflipper

    Morituri te salutant Orchestra :)

  • @Hornyflipper Morituri te Salutant; should be able to maybe find it by going 'Brood War Aria' or 'Brood War Intro'.

  • @Hornyflipper Search Brood War Aria.

  • shiverrrrs !

  • Anyone else cheer these two douchbags death? Alexi got zerged while Gerard ate his pistol.

  • @EvilCleric How die Stukov get Zerged? He was shot by Duran...

  • @y2kblackout The Zerg got ahold of his corpse later on and infested him. It's basically a background event.

  • @EvilCleric When the hell did that happen!?! Show me exactly where it says that.

  • @y2kblackout Got it. It was a secret mission only available in Starcraft 64. He was raised by the Cerebrate Kaloth as an experiment.

  • @EvilCleric Damn! Thanks for the info, dude!

  • @EvilCleric Eeeh.  The UED was my favorite faction out of all of them.

  • 1:16 I swear that guy is general warfield from SC2.

  • @Spartan0072 ... Seriously? Just because a character is black doesn't mean they're like another black character.

  • ok dude let me say something okay thats not a fucking marauder! its a firebat and no thats not a goddamn rocket its a fucking grenade launcher look at it its under the barrel of the gauss gun and before any of you 5yr old kids start saying oh its a rocket oh its a marauder ive been playing this game since u were still in ur dads ballsack ok i grew up with starcraft i wasent born in the time of fucking Wow or starcraft 2 no i grew up playing starcraft and diablo and the original Warcraft

  • @achoo49 wow fuck you are a moron

  • I've always thought the two russian dudes were both gay pornstars.

  • Those who commented on the dislike bar are fucking faggots

  • 10 people have seen enough and were taken into orbit

  • This is why you should become an officer in the Air Force and not a grunt in the Marines ;)

  • Best cutscene ever. One of the rare times when complete douchebaggery is also completely awesome.

  • Whoooos in charge here!!??? Wheeeere is the airsupport!!?

  • I love the Apocalypse now references

  • Which cruiser are they on?Gerard's or Alexi's?

  • It's a marauder!

  • @watercreature omg its a firebat u dumbass play the orginal starcraft before u say something stupid like this

  • what a shitty feeling watching the air support bug out like that 

  • @nuclearjanitors Not as shitty as you may expect. Considering the marines on the ground were colonial forces while the battlecruiser was a UED vessel.

  • tapes? what year is this?

  • @darkunorthodox Ugh. It's a general term for recordings. Relax. They're not using punch-card computers in the future.

  • 10 people aren't prepared to go all the way.

  • @kingchideau876 ...good God. Of all the jabs at people who gave thumbs down comments, this is easily one of the best I've ever seen.

  • "Your vodka can await, my good Alexei."

  • 1:49 My grandparents have exactly the same clock ^^.

  • was the marine still alive for a second when he was getting cooked by the bat? i heard a weird scream

  • @RobbyRockwellDX I want to guess that he probably died anyhow, seeing as before the bat intervened you could already see blood spattering about from the zergling digging into him

  • UED are badass. I hope they come back in the SC 2 expansions

  • @longlivebrasil777 They will most definitely. Alexei is alive, so I imagine he is trying to make contact with the UED Fleet on Earth by working alongside the Kel-Morian combine. So, if the UED does not return, I will be surprised, because the UED has alot of potential.

  • Thanks god firebats have progressed since this they are no longer idiots in idiotic suits with napalm on their backs.

  • One thing with Blizzard, wether is Warcraft, Diablo, or Starcraft universe, is that they really know how to make good cinematic and story. So we still come back after years and years and watch this.

  • @nthjalte wrong, starcraft 2 was as worse as an avarage hollywood hero movie

  • @TommyRyan90 people wont give a rats ass about your failed opinion when they look at your spelling and grammar.

  • @stanleythedoogle wow talk about people that can't deal with criticism

  • @TommyRyan90 my comment was me dealing with your garbage criticism.

  • @stanleythedoogle garbage? I guess you don't know anything about proffesional filmmaking or writing or you are just trolling around in here. starcraft 2 was an exellent game with gameplay close to perfection. however, the story was different from game design and it was altered from the original formula. by subjective opinion is that the atmosphere and character plot are completely different from the original game. now try to comment that without answering like a 8 year old child.

  • @nthjalte Don't you mean "they USED TO know how to make good cinematic and story"? Sorry, but Starcraft 2 - being almost a parody of the Starcraft universe in many ways - proved this company is going downhill, or at least Metzen forgot how to create interesting stories and characters. As for cinematics, nothing in SC2 can even TOUCH the level of quality of this video and many others from SC1.

  • @F10F11hm

    AGREE 100 PERCENT.  SC2 story is a cheesy pile of shit.

  • @DexterBoyGenius33 Idk, I think the whole backstory and intentions of the overmind being revealed as part of the Xel'Naga's plans was quite interesting. Also gives us a new reason as to why Kerrigan was taken and infested.

    But that's just my opinion.

  • @Thejin2027 can see your point, personally after what kerragin did to phoenix and Raynor's epic speech of revenge i still find it a let down that he saved her, though with the other two expansions i hope to see him putting his sniper rifle to use in the future if you catch my drift.

    also phoenix is nominee for the biggest bro in any SC game

  • @F10F11hm Hey, Hanson's death did feel a bit like the original game. That was the only part, though...

  • @F10F11hm one of the things that I love so much about starcraft 1 cinematics is how dark and depressing they are. The atmosphere changes to much in Starcraft 2. I don't like it as much.

  • @F10F11hm

    I hate to agree with you, but I do. Sadly.

    I did laugh out loud upon readnig, "parody of the Starcraft universe" though

  • @F10F11hm the characters and stories are still interesting enough, they just cant make cinematic for shit anymore. Its a pity really.

  • @F10F11hm true story

  • @F10F11hm then u must be blind as fuck sc2 is in every way better then sc1 the cinimatics are amazing the gameplay althogh not perfact is better only thing they need to make it a classic is more units and balance...

  • why is it that there is a goliath in every introduction?

  • maybe it is and oldie but it still freak me out, best Scene eva!

  • its funny how they make it look way better then brood wars actually is

  • @graham0780 dude. Brood War transformed starcraft from just another RTS into the most popular strategy game of all time. I don't know how it is possible to make a brood war cinematic look better than the game itself.

  • @brainwasher9876 the game is just little guys walkin around killin ppl look at the movie way differant

  • I just realized how much in class cartooning this video inspired upon me... and now i am going to be a designer. Thank you blizzard.

  • Why're the zerglings just standing there at 0:42 and 0:48, did they decide to take a break or something?

  • @tristeonz I think its somehow connected with Psi-disruptor

  • Why is one of the brigade men sounding like a german Nazi general?

  • @Tombking2 you mean Stukov, the russian? ;)

  • Blizzard sure have a flair for the cinematic, don't they?

  • 200 BULLETS, SPRAY, LOSE... 0:44

  • 3:16 the first timea saw this a tear comes to my eye..freacking epic the music and the scene

  • Intense!

  • one of the best cinematics of all of blizz games

  • anyone know what that giant black shadow is behind the bald marine at 0:47??

  • @IShallRuleOneDay

    thats the missile turret

  • @dDAyzF0rTy4 Oh Ok Then.

  • @IShallRuleOneDay it seems to me its a missile turret

  • @fenhia44 are you sure?

  • the Marine Muttered Damn it when he ran out of ammo...youd think he would be more Livid...but hes prolly Brainpanned

  • he is spy!!

  • You know this shizzle is crazy intense when your heart sinks for two CG marines as their left to their fate =)

  • his ammo went away pretty fast...

  • 3:18 is just too epic...

  • 0:13 zerg:now we slice the meat! and rember too cook at 800+celcuis start up the oven firebat!

  • DuGalle is an asshole...he released a bunch of Zerg into one of his colonies just to prove to Stukov that the Zerg is much more powerful than he knows...damn!

  • @EddieOJ168 I think you misinterpreted the scene, the colony was prolly under attack of its own accord, especially considering that at this point, the UED were just getting out of stasis and hadnt gotten the proper equipment yet.

  • @DarkTider dude, that comment was 2 months ago. now i get it. ok? btw if raynor hadnt saved Mengsk's ass im pretty sure DuGalle got rid of him and the story mayb different now. I always consider Mengsk is the most badass in the game, and indeed Jim was right, "he sell out everyone to achieve his conquest". It was his greed of glory that kerrigan fell into the Zerg

  • jesus these guys can't shoot for shit, marines my ass.

  • @poonjoo They're not our marines :o Ours volunteer and are trained in the art of combat because they desire to. Theirs consist mostly of criminals that have a chip that keep their aggression in check or men and women that have been forcibly conscripted to fight~ Of course they're gonna suck at aiming, half of them have no future to look forward to, the other half sure as hell don't even want to fight >.>

  • @HiruRyu so lets strap em up in advanced suits and give em good guns. I see the trade off there lol.

  • the ending is f up!

  • I love how the Zergling looks at the one that blew up, like um thats not supposed to happen?

  • @Hydra000001 LOL yeah, the way the zergling reacts to his buddy being blown to bits is pretty cute =D

  • Admiral Gerard DuGalle was one of my favorite characters.

    Cold and calculating, yet honorable and wise too.

    I wish he didn't an hero after the UED was forced to retreat. ;_;

  • whooha id loved thou now howd did iven the foresaken not overthrowe there litchk king in there frist pleyse :X, widthout ardas + souylwandas, lowl i men, fhink about this! !

  • good

  • Excelent..!! A Like Starcraft..!!

  • All hail Rockit Black Guy!  \o/

  • ROCKIT BLACK GUY

  • 3:05 the music is soo freakin epic :O

  • Alexi Stukov. The most fucking badass character. Ever.

  • I wonder how medics can heal them with lamps :P :D

  • @3rdfriend If you look at some of the artwork that comes with the game's booklet, one arm of the medic is a giant shield type thing, while on the glove of the other hand are two needles, set up like where the Zealot's blades are, just above the hands.

  • @sirwooley

    Yeah, of course. I know how they should look like.

    But you cannot do much with two needles when your patient is inside of a huge, metallic suit. The look a bit like men in big robots if you look the artwork-video for Starcraft II. ...and in the game it looks like they are using flashlights to heal thier patients. But it's good for the game, I like it very much to use the medics. They were needed for the expansion of the best game in the world. bwahaha. I gonna play BW now. xD

  • Gay zerg, poor dude at the beginning XD

  • Probably one of the most epic game openings ever made.

    I hope SC2 can live up to SC greatness. Its going to be so awesome!

  • This intro reminds me of the bridge scene in Apocalypse now.

  • @navnforfandenda The scene from Apocalypse now was the inspiration for it.

  • 3:43 Zerling Rush

  • i love how the guy is just rockin out to jimi hendrix while there getting zergd haha

  • 00:48 why are the no rocket-luncher marine like that in the game?

  • @MoonWerewolf There are now. They are called Mauraders, and they are in Starcraft 2.

  • If that guy is a ghost, he could actually Lockdown the BC u know? Wouldn't that be funny?

  • their rifles chew thru ammo so fast

  • Those are the zerg that UED unleashed on the Confederacy's colonies, the pet zerg. Have you played the single player at all?

  • Did he just light a cigar with a zippo? That's the real tragedy, here. You don't use anything but a wooden match to light a cigar with.

  • @thfpt True, but zippos are badass ;p

  • @thfpt not even a match is the real right way. Proper cigars have a special kind of wooden paper in the wraping, which is meant to fire up and light the cigar

  • @thfpt

    wow everyone starts saying that shit after seeing hellboy

    fffucck

  • @Acroix707 Or, some people can't help but make comments that are designed to try and devalue what someone else has said, in the sad hope that it will make themselves look cool.

  • @thfpt actually not to be a dick but zippo makes butane lighters now that dont taint the cigar and i hear that they work great. Anyway thats beside the point, Stukov is a total badass.

  • @thfpt I love the finality of the click's echo and music - in my opinion that one small act was the best part of the video.

  • @K0IKarp @thfpt has a point heheh, but you are absolutely right. The crisp, echoing clasp of Stukov closing his zippo lighter is one of the outstanding, perhaps most memorable of sound effects in this scene. It's like he's snuffing out the final breath of life of the unfortunate fellows below.

  • @thfpt yeah, that's how it's supposed to be done anyway...

  • @thfpt But it's a SPACE Zippo.

    ...your point stands nonetheless. It's the worst crime against Cuba since the Bay of Pigs.

  • @thfpt its the future...

  • i love this video, especially themusic in it

  • @jakzine540:

    You are right. He sounds distressed. After all that are human soldiers they left to die. No matter if they are colonists or Earth soldiers.

  • This trailer always gave me chills...especially at the end when you see all them zergling rushing against him...with tthe song...that oh so fitting song...love it
