Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty8

by 1030 days ago

Starcraft 2, probably the most anticipated game of this year by many gamers out there has been released on the 27th. This post is a little different than the other posts on the blog, don’t think there has been a game post on here at all. Anyway, I had a chance to play through the campaign and actually finished it in a day.

Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty
The Swarm is back and even fiercer than ever, with the Queen of Blades as the leader of the ferocious beasts the battle heats up again as the Terran and Protoss try to stop her. In this first chapter/part it’s all about James “Jim” Raynor and his Raiders.

Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty
It took less than a day to finish the campaign and I’ve got to say, it was fun. I have played the Beta before but the units you can build in the campaign mode are way different than what you can build in the multiplayer. For example some starcraft 1 units: Goliath, Vulture, Wraith and Medics (not medivac). There are a lot more units and structures which don’t appear in the multiplayer. Blizzard did a fine job, only thing that kind of bothered me was the voice acting of the units, Wraiths/Vultures/Goliaths/Siege tanks doesn’t sound as cool as they did in the first game, it had some “badass-ness” to it but now.. they sound like wimps. The campaign made has also added some extras, you can upgrade your units with credits, which seems weird though. You can upgrade your refinery to harvest gas without SCVs or have Ghosts cloak without using energy =s…
Other than that, the graphics are great, sounds/music is good, gameplay has remained the same (which is a good thing imo).
I don’t like the singleplayer as much as I like the multiplayer though ;).

    I agree with you on the MP over SP thing. I’ve just picked Starcraft 2 up having not played the beta, but loads of SC 1. It’s going to take some time getting used to all the new units etc, but i’ll get there :)

    If I could play the game without it crashing I might be able to tell you what I think. From what I have played it’s good, disappointed by a few things but overall good. I have a computer better then the recommend specifications, everything up to date but I get BSOD’s on the campaign with the settings on low.

    I looked around and was somewhat pleased/concerned that it wasn’t just me.

      Strange, I got the Digital Download from Blizzard and installed it. I got through the campaign just fine, no issues at all. I’ve seen some people with texture issues while mining gas and minerals but I had none.
      Only thing that bothered me were the lag spikes when I started a mission.
      Blizzard might send out a patch.

    I’ve become bored shitless, using the dull MP units, wish I could use the Campaign structures and units in MP

  • Steve

    Lag spikes usually caused by units unable to move or trapped, your side or the enemy. Many of the maps are a bit buggy. Alot of the 3rd person MP maps, are well bad.

    In the process of getting addicted to this game, moving on to MP just now and starting to get my ass “less kicked” on frequent basis is making me develop some found memories for this game ^^

    Anyhow, Bnet 2.0 is terrible at the moment. Basically broken in many respects and a huge downgrade in others…they tried to “streamline” to make it more noob friendly but who the hell had the bright idea that Starcraft is a “noob friendly” game to begin with?! Oo

    That said it’s still fun, they had to skimp units for the MP because of balancing issues, it’s already hard enough to build up an effective offensive the way it is, with 20 more units it would drive players and developers insane ^^

    I would say for you guys to drop me a line so we can play a few matches but with Blizzard’s xenophobic server split I am left lingering on the near dead LA server, not to mention with my barely functional pt-BR translation hoping that they will listen to over 100 pages of winning about this and fix it asap ¬¬

    …at any rate: NoSpells#846 (friend codes… sigh… since the one on the WII didn’t prove to be enough of a failure ¬¬)

    …add me up if you wish to play with/against a competent learning player in the near future when the “wall” falls and we can all joyfully change servers…. like they did in Warcraft III… like 10 years ago…

      Long time no see 711 =D

      Would love to have a match with you, I’m a bronze league myself so not good either.
      Guess we’ll have to wait until we can play cross-continental ^^.
      I have got to agree on Bnet 2.0, it really is terrible and lacking so many features ..
      That’s what you get if you hire a designer for Xbox live to create Bnet 2.0, console-like interfaces don’t work on the PC.

      I love the multiplayer though, it’s very balanced even though some races might seem overpowered at lower leagues. For example Terran, but any race in the right hands are equally as deadly.

      Anyway, hope to play a game someday ;).
