REMOVE MISSION OBJECTIVE/S DURING……..Any mission briefings or story mode cut scenes.

Mission objectives should appear after the mission briefings and not during mission briefings.

Usually in RTS games just like in starcraft 1, during mission briefings you can already see the mission objectives shown in a side panel.
IMO, this takes away some excitement and suspense as you already know the mission briefing even before the characters in mission briefings talks about the missions.

For example, the mission objectives say kill Kerrigan during mission briefings. Whats the use of the mission briefing then? I don’t think a mission briefing is there to give you more details about the mission. Mission briefings are the one that opens up what the mission will be since it tells part of the story.

Serious single players fans would like to anticipate the missions during mission briefings and would not like to be spoiled by the mission objectives that is included in the interface during mission briefings.

It will be more fun if you will be thinking of what the mission will be like during mission briefing conversations. You will then know the actual mission right after the mission briefings.

Also there should be a “proceed to mission objective/s” button, for those want to know what is/are the mission right away and don’t want to listen to the briefings.

So who wants to remove the mission objective panel in the mission briefing interface? And just show it after mission briefings or maybe during loading time.

Oops.. wrong thread...

Simple fix. Don't read them.

I don't think this will be much of an issue since the story will be advanced through more fluid conversations. It's not like SC1 where a bunch of talking televisions tell you what to do.

I know what you mean, its strange seeing the objectives before the whole briefing has unfolded. But at the same time.....you can just ignore the objective and focus on the briefing.

but seriously which is fun? if sc2 is going to be the best, they should also fix random details like this.

There is nothing to fix. If you don't like seeing the objectives click start right away and to right into the cutscene. I guarantee most people will want to see the objectives and rewards for a mission to help them decide which one to pick next.

Maybe you can have the objectives pop up as the briefing progresses. So the objectives become bullet point summaries of the briefing.

This isn't really an issue - even in SC/BW, and in WC3, so definitely in the new game, many missions include objectives that you don't know about until after the mission starts because they are added by trigger events. So yeah, there's still plenty of room for surprise objectives. The ones that are present in the mission briefing are going to be the basic "wipe out the Zerg base" type objectives, which you should really be able to figure out anyway.

Just what I was thinking.

I've just got to say this, if an objective says 'Kill so-and-so', there's almost a guarantee a twist is going to happen.
