Starcraft 2 RELEASED!

Well it finally was released, and it is definitely a huge hit already! This is going to be a trilogy set, and what was released was just the first races campaign which is the Terran (human) campaign. Starcraft 2 will consist of two subsequent expansion sets. The first, Wings of Liberty, has a single player campaign that focuses around the Terran as previously stated putting the player in the role of Jim Raynor, which is one the series’ main heroes from the original Starcraft. The first expansion set, Heart of the Swarm, is going to have a single-player campaign mode focusing on the zerg, one of the other races in Starcraft, and the player will be put in the role of Kerrigan the Queen of Blades, which is now the leader of the zerg after all the events of the original Starcraft unfolded. Kerrigan was once human and very close to Jim Raynor but she was left on a planet that was overrun by zerg and they took her and turned her into what she is now. I look forward to seeing what is to come in this expansion more than anything. The second and final expansion as of now, Legacy of the Void, will finish the story with a single player campaign centered around the Protoss, the other race in Starcraft. Blizzard hasn’t released any information about who the player would be assuming the role as under the Protoss campaign, which might mean the death of some of the main characters within the story before they reach the end of the trilogy.
My favorite part about Starcraft is the multiplayer gameplay. You can set up matches with friends online or just random people. It’s always fun to play against the AI but when you play against another person there are just so many more strategies and they don’t just follow a pattern of some sort. Then of course there’s always bragging rights after you’ve emerged the victor. These expansion sets that are coming out will add new content to each race for use in multiplayer matches, which could include as much from new units, abilities, and structures, and of course new maps!
Getting back to the single player campaign, for Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty Blizzard announced that there will be between 26 to 30 missions and that each expansion afterwards would have near the same amount. That means this trilogy will have up to 90 or more missions to play through in single player mode and get enveloped in the story of Starcraft! This will also allow Blizzard to create an amazing story experience along with a variety of unique missions and gameplay types!
