    Transcript:
    Centuries ago, an ancient race, the Xel'naga, experimented on two species: the psionic Protoss and the insectoid Zerg. The Protoss worshipped the Xel'naga, but to control the vicious Zerg, the Xel'naga created the Overmind. Unfortunately, the Overmind turned the swarm on its creators and the Xel'naga were never seen again.
    The Protoss resolved to stop the Zerg, but during the Great War, their homeworld of Aiur was lost. Forming a shaky alliance with their exiled brothers, the Dark Templars, the Protoss retreated, but Dark Prelate Zeratul, learned of experiments on a Zerg/Protoss hybrid and left to investigate.
    Meanwhile, Terran soldier Jim Raynor lost his partner, Sarah Kerrigan to the Zerg. Abandoned by her commander, Arcturus Mengsk, Kerrigan was transformed into the Zerg/Terran hybrid, the Queen of Blades. Through treachery, she recruited the Terrans and Protoss to destroy the new Overmind then took control of the Zerg Swarm for herself. Betrayed, Raynor vowed to kill Kerrigan, but she now commanded the most powerful force in the galaxy. Then, without explanation, she gathered her swarm and vanished.
    Four years later and in between drinking binges, Raynor leads raids against Emperor Mengsk, but it's time to sober up. Kerrigan has returned to uncover mysterious Xel'naga artifacts, compelled by an ancient voice. The voice of an ancient evil born anew.
    Have fun!

    • @Scott89878
      @Scott89878 8 лет назад +33

      +SangoProductions21 There were two overminds. Tassadar got the first one and in the Brood War campaign, the cerebrates merged to make a new overmind and the UED came to control it and eventually in the Zerg campaign, Kerrigan got some allies to destroy the UED's overmind.

      battle.net you don't need anything else, just enter your e mail and password, should be the same that you have SC2 or other Blizzard game... if you played online in the 90's or the 2000 shouldn't be a problem...

    @sewertendo 8 лет назад +5

    I think the story gets too much flak over the "I'm gonna be the man to kill you someday" inconsistency, which it hardly is since Raynor was referring to a possessed Kerrigan. I did prefer that queen bitch of the universe compared to the one we got in SCII, but it's not the story's biggest issue.
    I love Broodwar, but its story wasn't perfect. Finding artifacts (crystals) and multiple twists/backstabs was something I saw SCII's story critiqued for but Broodwar certainly had that. The major difference is the presentation, really.

    • @howlingdin9332
      @howlingdin9332 2 года назад

      SC2's story wasn't bad. It just got flak from fans who A: Were a lot younger when they played SC1 and hated the sequel for failing to rewind their brains to happier times and B: Didn't like the more lighthearted story compared to the previous. There's no SC2 campaign where you're fighting *for* the ultimate antagonist like in SC1 and Broodwar.

    • @Qwert112
      @Qwert112 8 лет назад +3

      Pedro Igor
      Lately they've even stopped caring about gameplay too. LotV is being built to be an esport- that is to say, Blizz is prioritizing the enjoyment of spectators over the enjoyment of the players (hence ridiculous changes like 12 worker starts and the enormous harass buffs like dropable sieged siege tanks).

    • @stringstorm
      @stringstorm 8 лет назад +38

      Completely disagree. SC2's story is a major step up in story along with every aspect SC1 had. SC1's story was rushed, its lore unexplored, and everything is compressed probably due to budget constraints at the time. They even had to publish books just to expand the universe. SC2's story was definitely a refreshing thing as it introduced tie ins with the books while detaching itself from the compressed and rushed storyline of SC1. Granted that SC1 was a bit darker in retrospect, only turned into something completely laughable with the introduction of Retribution and Insurrection and that one other add-on campaign that was completely forgotten, but SC2 though noblebright looking, definitely has something more sinister underneath that what was presented what with the expansion of the lore and the introduction of more ruinous powers playing at the background. Love it or hate it, Blizz did a fine job with the story.

      Or he simply changed his mind when Zeratul brought some rather convincing evidence that killing Kerrigan is a bad idea.
      Or Raynor meant some other kind of killing.
