In the Wolfenstein cover edition of PC Gamer, Dan Stapleton has sat down with Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty which is the first of three parts Blizzard plans to release on Starcraft II. According to Dan, what he has seen so far has been impressive. Below are the missions as discussed:

Mission 1: The mission is about Raynor’s Raider who landed on Mar Sara to be able to liberate the colony from the Dominion control. The colonists were resistant to Raynor noting that his presence would just increase the oppression from the Dominion control. During this resistance a civilian was killed in cold blood that spurred an angry mob in to revolt which joined Raynor’s marines.

Mission 2: The second mission is about “The Dig” where you would spawn with a basic base to kill the enemy base. Once you have deployed the marines and medics, you would come across a group of rebel marines and after you have rescued them would help you go after the enemy base. This is straightforward Starcraft battle mode.

Mission 3: The third mission is called “Zero-Hour” where your mission to stay put and hold off zergling attack until you are saved and rescued by Raynor’s battleship Hyperiod which destroys all zerglings and hydralisks.

The two of the three missions described seems to be typical Starcraft missions but nonetheless, we all know that when this is released full-blown fans worldwide would be in awe on the beauty and game play of Starcraft.

3 Missions on Starcraft II Wings of Liberty

Blizzard is said to be removing the LAN support for Starcraft II which beats the excitement of the product. Ok, there is called the battle net but there were already a ton of anti-social games from the world of Warcraft, and now Blizzard is contributing anew to this community with their Starcraft II game.

I hope Blizzard hear out gamers and bring back the LAN support for this game.
