The sheer size of the Leviathan kind of explains why the Dominion just let it hang out in orbit around a random planet. I don't think they are capable of killing it, or even doing significant damage to it before it retaliates.

"Let's talk about something even more exciting - the options menu."

The spirit of Total Biscuit has been looking at what you've done for SC2 with pride and today he has shed a single tear.

[PieMoe]

That nuclear self-defense at the end is honestly such a beautiful desperation move, it really feels more appropriate and dramatic an ending compared to the "knock knock we tipped over your entire army" ending it normally is. Makes me realize that what SC2's campaign is missing is any real shock factors, at least IMO. No missions really come with any twist to them, certainly nothing compared to "Belay that order" from original SC. It would be rad if those nukes at the end (foreshadowed by Warfield's deployment way earlier on Char) actually had some consequences acknowledged.

PS: the way the changes integrate into the campaign is so freaking genius it deserves a highlight on its own. Hardpoints are awesome and the Gorgon was the perfect way to introduce them as a concept. As mentioned, Warfield's nukes show how cataclysmic they are and how their lingering effects impact movement.

"I choose to go to Char, mostly because I'm scared of fighting the Protoss"
Now there's a sentence that's never before been said in Starcraft history

[SZRLM]

15:30 True Colors is also the name of the mission where you can cheese and one shot Fenix with Brood Queens. I see you Grant.

[HeisenbergFam]

Always a great year when bro casually comes back after 2 months, the modding community for Starcraft is underrated

[AtticusKarpenter]

Subsystems for capital ships and turning the Leviathan into an orbital strike is incredibly creative!

[Frstyz]

The brood queen being able to 1 shot bosses is lore accurate (rip Fenix in so many broodwar playthroughs)

[sepalmq]

its a shame that there is not late game ZvZ in Hots, it would have been very cool to see just unending numbers of zerg fighting each other. then again it might destroy the player's computer.

[Roberto_One]

Love how Zagara's zergling nopes out of there at 4:42. He saw what happened to the rest of his buds and wanted no part of it.

[randomguyblank]

Yeah, honestly amazed how both real scale WoL and HoTS really captured the nature of the factions you play as. In WoL, you really feel like some scrappy rebel group using all the tricks in the book to achieve their objective but not complete victory and in HoTS you feel like you command an unstoppable swarm, despite your enemies' greatest efforts they succumb to the weight of your advance.

[onyxthedark]

if you spawn broodling the bonus objective on Crucible, you should get an audio of "Fenix, no..." from Raynor

Let's be honest, everyone killed Fenix like that

[Geminias]

Warfield and Ghandi would get along very well in this mod. The scouts should probably be updated to have a strafe attack.

[kasothronos]

The new Leviathan summon is incredible!

Also, if we fight it in the real scale WOL 2.0, it'll be like the Gorgon.

[erseshe]

"The hybrid are really unique"

"They are a series of objectives on the map that you must defeat, and each of them has generally progressively stronger powers."

[TheCuriousFan]

"At this point he's by far and away the most resilient commander in the history of RTS and honestly he deserves it."

And to think Brood War ran with the idea that he'd be a minor nuisance on a strategic level once he lost Duke.

[The_whales]

Fun fact: the amount of zerglings in this whole real scale run is little more than twice the amount of kills in grants first video Wol deathless, 22, 041 zerglings compared to 10, 207 killed in deathless

[ruturoskarsson]

"This interaction really shows the brood queen's true colours."
Oooof, I felt that

[somedude]

one of the few cases where real scale is easier than normal campaign (in a challenge)

[-Raylight]

SC2 community : *"Thank you Grant for everything"*
Grant : *"My pleasure, always was"*
Tiny Kerrigan is adorable! Glad to see SC2 mods is getting more and more bigger when Blizzard already gave up on most of their games. Poor Odin, he just a tiny problem for Kerrigan 🤣
