SC2 Trailer

Ok, so whilst I was on Holiday a few things happened on the sc2 scene: 1) The Beta ended :(, ironically on my birthday: not that I could actually be there at its conclusion. and 2) Blizzard released this awesome new trailer for the game, Ghosts of the Pasts.

Basically, I am as excited as hell for this game, here is a link to the trailer if you didn't see it yets

I mean god this trailer is awesome, and the fact is it is all in-game footage: You will get to experience all of this in the campaign cut-scenes, obviously some of these will be optional quests, however I presume mostly these are quests that you have to complete to get these cut-scenes.

I am so excited to get SC2, my collector's edition is on order and got posted on Friday, hopefully it will come on Monday so I can play immedietly after midnight and spend hours and hours engrossed in the single player campaign.

Talking a little about the content of the trailer, it features all the main characters other than Duran, but that is not surprising (didn't notice it missing anyone huge). Nothing Major revealed plot wise that wasn't already revealed (other than the last bit about Raynor going back to Char to finish the zerg but ye).

Firstly it shows Kerrigan in New Gettysburg where she was captured by the Zerg. It then goes onto show some awesome cut scenes from some of the various scenes in the campaign. I especially love the shot of Kerrigan petting the Hydralisk: So sexy O:.

Personally, I am so excited for this game, some of my friends have concerns about the game like lack of lan/offline play. Afaik the game only requires online activation once and not to be online when actually playing the game, if you don't care about achievements and all that shit. Personally I believe there won't be anything wrong with the campaign at all, my only concern would be that maybe the story was weak or something but Blizzard games usually have some of the best story around so I hardly think thats a concern, from the blizzcon videos of the mechanics I feel like they are pretty damm solid.

This will probably take up my time for a good week or 2 before getting back into Beta testing Cataclysm. Hopefully I will have finished Stonetalon by then, doing Northern Barrens today then Ashenvale then Stonetalon. Hoping to finish on Stonetalon for the simple reason that its a nice concluding end to alot of subplots in the previous 2 zones, and is a good finishing point imo before Sc2 comes out.

Anyway, onto the Barrens Write-up :D.
