Protoss units no longer die and burn up into cinders because of their faith in the Khala and shit, they TELEPORT BACK TO DERE BASES LIKE PUSSIES.

Dark Templar energies = the void. wut Whatever happened to Khalis/Uraj/Khaydarin?

Any other retcons that I can rage about? 'Cause those are the two really big ones that I recall.

Also, apparently, all "modified content" (maps) created using the editor are property of Blizzard. Cool. I'm definitely going to the B.Net forums to get some clarification.

MORE:
Why the HELL ARE THERE NO TRIBUTES TO SC1 PLAYERS? Pretty much all of the Collector's Edition bonuses are Diablo and WarCraft themed. And by that I mean 1diablo:2warcraft. WHY. THE. FUCK. ARE. THERE. NO. SC1. TRIBUTES? I like how I've pretty much waited for 7-8 years for a steaming pile of dung called "Collector's Edition." More like "For World of Whorecraft players edition."

Also, why isn't there a "Korean" difficulty level? wtf acticock blizzass

EDIT:
Playing through the campaign ATM, first mission.
WORST VOICE ACTING, WORST LINES. ACTUALLY, I DON'T BLAME THE VOICE ACTORS, SINCE THEIR LINES ARE PROBABLY SO FUCKING SHITTY THAT THEY'VE NO MOTIVATION.

Erm, because SC2 itself is a tribute to SC1?

There, I helped you to clarify yourself, while also expressing my own thoughts at the same time.

Those are crystals...

These are the only things you're raging about?

OMG SC2 I CAN'T WAIT SOUNDS AMAZING :DDDDDDD

1. Protoss zealots always teleported back to base. Thats why they "burned" up in sc1.
2. The energy of the Protoss is the Khala. The Dark Templar used a different kind of energy (i guess the void). Thats why they were banished in the first place.
3. You know Raynor's voice is the original right?

What he said. Blizzard rarely retcons, but they do expand a hell lot on backstories in the novels.

1. Nice evidence (and by evidence I mean sexual service to Blizzard). So, I guess Kakaru and Bengalaas have their own secret societies and civilizations. amirite?
2. Energy of the Protoss = Khala, I think we know that. Dark Templar use an unnamed energy in SC1. I guess they named it "the void." Rage: Why the Hell would you name it something so stupidly uncreative and overused as that? when Zeratul says "the void," my heart dies a bit. Also, new Protoss physique is freakish. Old one was better and didn't look like WarCraft in space in 3D.
3. Yea, and apparently, the character's lines are so bad the actor can't put as much effort into them as he did in SC1. Or maybe a decade really did take it's toll. Either way, I think it's subpar compared to the old SC1.

A lot of the old units sound a lot better than the new "ported" versions, e.g. Wraith, Vulture, Goliath. That, or just different.

The unit sounds should be louder so I can hear them.

Or, OR, the Kakaru and Bengalaas thing was just a fuck up in the first one. No, it couldn't be that, because SC1 is perfect.

It was named long before SC2 came out. Learn to lore.

They're not any better in SC1. The entire point is that the whole game is about over the top cliches. Stop taking yourself so seriously you tool.

SC1 is perfect.

Where?

It's better, regardless of whether I take it seriously or not.

Also, new Zeratul sounds gay.

Not by a long shot.

Books, comics, etc.

What? It was ALWAYS the void. I know for a fact they gathered their power from the void of space BEFORE SC2. Not sure if it was from a novel but I know they got their powers from the void... I want to go out on a limb here and even say they explained this in SC1 when Tassadar was still alive.


Fucking this. I doubt your going to pick up the novels but at least go to a starcraft wikia/wiki and start clicking links of names that sound important on those pages. I bet you also think the wraith, gol, reaver, scout, firebat heroes were just heroes added to Starcraft so that people could have more units to use in Custom maps.

Then I wish that they wouldn't overuse it so much thevoidthevoidthevoidthevoid

My only source of lore is the video game itself.

Demo campaign/Enslaver campaigns.

Updated Zerg are really bug-esque. I wish they were still dinosaurs. But the dinosaurs have gone extinct. Eh.

spoiler alert

Special Thanks:

YOUR MOM

That was hilarious

...Dinosaurs? You think the Zerg *swarm* were dinosaur like? They've always been bugs.

Zerglings = velociraptors
Ultralisks = Mammoths?
Mutalisks = Cross between megalashrimp and pterodactyl ?
Hydralisks = ????
Kerrigan = Prophet!

The previous voice actor for Zeratul passed away, so it's understandable that he sounds a bit different, not a big deal, can't do much about that.

That sucks. DIG HIM OUT OF HIS GRAVE.

Every Zerg unit roars, except maybe the eggs and Larvae (they hiss at you). DO YOU STILL THINK THEY ARE NOT DINOSAURS?

Well I bet they could change his voice through some kind of audio software since they're putting millions in SC2 anyway. Not that hard to adjust voice, especially since it's a protoss voice.

It's not even that the voice actor is bad, he's just in the wrong mindset.

Because he does not know the original Zeratul.
Because the writers don't know the original Zeratul.
Because Blizzard fucking disowned the original Zeratul.

Zeratul is BADASS. A good voice is required to be a BADASS, but moreso, a good inflection is required to be BADASS. See Tychus? He's got a good BADASS voice. He's capable of a BADASS inflection. He could make for a pretty convincing Zeratul.

See, Zeratul doesn't ask questions. He's given borne witness to negative suns; he's the one giving the answers, because he fucking knows shit and if he doesn't he finds out. Instead, new Zeratul is a pansy that doesn't even have a cool portrait or model to go with it. Nor voice. Nor anything. Did you notice that he deals 15 damage less than in SC1? lolwtf
