Campaign Impressions (hidden or no spoilers)

maul i think the cloud storage updates itself when it comes back online the system probably is that it will save the game on

a) your HDD first
b) after A, save info onto cloud in the background

just for people worried.

yes you can santrega, the saves also saved onto your HDD. The Cloud storage is a bonus

I want to play online most of the time, but if I lose connection to battle.net or lose connection to the internet, etc; I want to be able to play offline and continue where I left off in the campaign and have my campaign progress be saved. Is this possible, yes or no?

A good question, and one which can easily be answered. Start the first mission on easy mode and disconnect shortly after finishing it. Save (if possible), log out/into battle.net to see if your progress was saved.

See this is what makes sense to me... But the friend of mine usually has correct information about sc2... I hope he is wrong this time...

I'll just calm down and wait and see whats possible later tonight.

@Santrega

Yes you probably can progress as normal

@Noctis

Probably so, but the achievements require battle.net. Either way I only had to wait a minute so no biggie, and I could of carried on if I chose

[Noctis]

yeah i understand the achievement part, are you sure you NEED the b.net for it though.

im not one to stress over achievement anyway, there's always the gajillion playthroughs im gunna do.

Thats good news about the campaign, but what about skirmishes? In the bnet overview vid, it sounds like you need to be connected to play vs the computer - do they just mean if you're doing a co-op vs computer players?

3. I'm not sure yet, but it seems that once you purchase a contract you can use those mercenaries every game without spending additional credits, but they do have a mineral/gas cost in-game and a cooldown as well. You can only hire them x amount of times too. The warpigs (marines) can only be hired 4 times.

. . . .

Four times in the entire campaign, or four times per map?

[Maul]

Skirmishes can be played offline as well as online, and four times per map.

Just finished the day/night zombie map

Is the Nova Third person action game still there?
I heard Lost Viking is.
