Campaign Impressions (hidden or no spoilers)

[Maul]

Well B.net just went down so I thought I'd share some impressions while I have a quick break from the singleplayer.

Note I won't post any spoilers and I recommend everyone who does to use the hide tags.

So far it's been a blast, cinematics and in-between campaigns have been fun, lots of crude humor and a fairly believable story so far.

Missions are basic (I'm only up to the 4th mission) so far but let me warn you that brutal difficulty is rough, especially on the first mission! Expect to micro your units a fair bit to get through it.

The amount of new units and props are amazing, really well constructed maps that really feel alive rather than simply playing on "a map", if that makes sense.

It's going to take awhile to get through SP on brutal so if you were worried that the game being split up is just some cheap money grab strategy, you're very wrong, as so far it seems we're set up for a long ride with Mr Raynor.

Fyi I didn't post this in the spoiler subsection as I would no doubt be spoiled by the titles, and as stated I'll try and avoid spoilers altogether ITT.

Nice! This is really good news, I can't wait to get my hands on the game at midnight tonight.

Can you please post a link to your B.NET profile when you get the opportunity? I'd like to see some of the achievements available in retail.

[GnaReffotsirk]

[Gurluash]

Is this guy from the future or what?

[Manik]

He probably got ahold of an Asian version, since their servers are up and live.

[protoswarrior]

Australia and SEA have first dibbs on the game

Lucky bastards! BUT, Maul: LIVESTREAMS PLZ?

[GnaReffotsirk]

Yeah, any info on that Maul?

[Wankey]

Can't seem to. When I log onto www.battle.net it knows I've got SC2 installed but doesn't recognise my character

Also to confirm, once you've entered your retail key on your account you can download the client at any time.

There's a live stream on the news page at sc2mapster.com from someone else from my region

Going back to the campaign for a bit
