And really, the terran are probably my favourite faction in the game, but for me its still principle. They could have 60 missions in the terran campaign, but whenever I pick up an RTS I expect all the 3 faction campaigns. EA did the same with Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath which ticked me off greatly. I think it's just a cheap cop-out to not release the full game. I'm very bitter about this. Maybe it's because my gaming computer is broke :(<br /><br />-Bryan<br />www.sff-hub.comBStearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110189767629308496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-88039129795259524952010-07-31T08:56:27.608-04:002010-07-31T08:56:27.608-04:00Bryan - There are a slew of new units among the th...Bryan - There are a slew of new units among the three factions. And the original units get cool, new upgrades as well. The techtree has some great upgrades (miniguns on bunkers, self extracting vespene factory). Yes, you only get to play the terran campaign (they want your money for years to come) but the campaign is 26-30 missions (I believe the original SC had 30 missions), so you get a complete game. Plus, you can play all 3 factions in the multiplayer portion.<br /><br />Mr Stupid, it is a great game!<br /><br />Powdered, it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there.Alex J.

The first is the fact that most of the units are the same from the original. Having a few similar units is good, but when I pick up a sequel I expect a revamped techtree, but expect things to have the same feel. The other is the fact they only included one campaign in the game. When I get an RTS I expect to be able to play the campaign for all of the factions, not just one and have to fork out another 40 bucks twice over to play what in my mind should've been included in the original release. I may buy it when they release all 3 in a cheap package like they usually do, but not before.<br /><br />I am glad your enjoying it though :)<br /><br />-Bryan<br />www.sff-hub.comBStearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110189767629308496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-6826574873702601982010-07-30T16:20:36.862-04:002010-07-30T16:20:36.862-04:00When it comes to this kind of game, "jlHtaHbo...When it comes to this kind of game, "jlHtaHbogh naDev vlSovbe'".
