Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm - With Friends Like These

[@Blazieth]

Honestly, I just love the fact that we get to control the Hyperion directly. That and yes, Mira and Horner are amusing :D Also, Valerian has *BALLS*. He just told the Queen of Blades to shut up and wait for results, and she listened.

[@horner385]

Blazieth Dude Kerrigan could've break Valerian's neck just by looking at him Valerian is the most badass

[@zoidus6429]

This is probably my favourite mission from HOTS. Definitely in the top 5.

[@Thefrrst]

I am like binge watching this entire series today :p I think it would be awesome to have a video to recap lore that most people have missed (like the stuff from the sc1 game manual) and to also cover some of the inconsistencies from sc1 to sc2

Which in return is a reference to Star Wars - Episode 4: A New Hope. ^^

[@clarkb2697]

I love Mira Han and horner.Yeah it could be more serious but I like a little levity in my games

[@dudkisc2810]

I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of this mission. Not because it's not enjoyable, because if there's one thing it is, it's exactly that! It's so much fun to play. I guess my problem with it is kind of like what you got into, that it's such a different tone and out of place. Especially considering that Blizzard announced way before Heart of the Swarm's release that the campaign would be shorter, and then they just throw another Terran mission in your face, giving you even less time to play as the Zerg, when the campaign in itself is already shorter to begin with. Definitely a fun mission, though. Can't deny that! :D

[@JayborinoPlays]

I agree... It seems like they could have made this mission Zerg related in some way. Maybe control Mutalisks to cover the Hyperion, or replace the Hyperion with the Leviathan. There are so many possibilities that it really baffles me why this mission exists even if it's fun to play!

[@rainytuber241]

Why? you ignore to talk with Stukov, you discuss with all with in the Leviathan but not with Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov, from United Earth Directorate(UED). :D :)

[@MLPDethDealr32]

Its because Valerian doesnt know that Mira and Matt.. are married. XD

[@stormzarn3937]

Really fun mission, but I do agree this belong more on the Arcade than in the campaign, especially considering they had to cut some missions due to lack of time. It's a lot like the Lost Viking Arcade in WoL, but that was truly an Arcade game, "hidden" on the Hyperion, like a side thing for the crew more than for yourself.

[@tsabito]

This is probably my favourite mission in SC2, so much so, I tried to make some custom map and I had an idea of a full campaign with the same gamestyle :D

[@Pilot231]

"... Scooter?"

[@gamesman089er]

Actually you can dodge the electric generator, you just need to try Jay.

[@JayborinoPlays]

I never thought to use Tactical Jump to avoid it, but I also am very lazy.

6:16 did he improve the tv?

[@gohgohchan]

I think this mission is okay. I actually enjoyed it. It is like a little break from the zerg campaign with some micro star wars shot-them-up minigame. Only big question I have to make is: why the hell did the Terran not spam the shit out of these "fully automated fighters" to main war to avoid throwing away pilots? If ONE battlecruiser and ONE mercenary corps can do it, the Dominion should be able to do it at ease.

[@curtiswilkerson8489]

niadra was thr broodmother from mission 3.

[@TheSiriusSigma]

Actually it is Naktul! Niadra is the larva that grew up on the Protoss vessel of which is not mission 3.

Weeeh!!! - Jay 2k15

[@dingodyno9016]

you say in the last mission we were all serious and now the tone has changed, but you gotta remember you can play these missions in a different way, so you can do this one early and get the goofiness out of the way and then do the skygir ones and go back to being all serious again, idk man, i get some points of what you say about WoL and HotS but sometimes i think you just nit pick the games to much or are misinformed on somethings, like the Tal"darim and the Xel'naga for example

[@JayborinoPlays]

Dingo dyno I think it's pretty plain how out of place this mission is. It's still fun to play, but it really doesn't belong to this campaign or contribute much to it which I don't think is very nitpicky - this map plays like something you'd find on the Arcade. I also spend a lot of time highlighting the good things in these games. Further, it's silly to have expectations of Tal'Darim knowledge - maybe there's some intricate details that Blizzard has laid down about there being multiple factions, but 99% of players view them as fanatical Protoss thrown in as an excuse to fight Protoss in this campaign so the onus is really on Blizzard to clearly make us care about them any further than that.

[@dingodyno9016]

JayborinoPlays yeah i understand about the lack of not knowing, hope it dosent come off as me being an ass hat to you or anything, im still one of you're number 1 fans, its just i know alot about SC lore, and as long as you know now that there are multiple factions of the Tal'darim, not just one, that believe in different things, its cool, also that the Xel'naga part of the Overmind wasnt retconed, they still made him but Amon secretly put the Hivemind in him, the only thing that was retconed of that part was Zerus being an Ash world like Char, but it still has its volcanic parts from what i saw

[@k-leb4671]

+Dingo dyno Zerus could have started out as a relatively inhospitable world, but then grew more lifeforms and became more a jungle world. For all we know, there could still be very ashy places on the planet.
