GameSpot's Guide to Starcraft

ou still live. That is no surprise to me. And though many of those you knew live no longer, your survival should be of no surprise to you, either. For you see, as I told you, with my assistance and your well-honed talents, your victory was practically assured.

Of course, your victory will be much harder earned this time around. As you well know, the stakes are higher than ever now, with the Terran Dominion fighting against the United Earth Directorate, the Protoss still trying to unite their competitive tribes, and the Zerg, led by Kerrigan, attempting to subvert the lot of them. I must reiterate that I am not interested in your affiliation with any of these factions. Know that I am only interested in being compensated duly for the information I and I alone provide. But we have already settled all that. And so all that remains is for me to assure you that these contents include the most up-to-date reconnaissance of the second chapter of this war.

I will inform you of the new military units employed by all three species involved, and reveal how their old units have been modified. I will give you intelligence on how each of these species must now approach fighting one another under the revised circumstances. You will learn precisely how to manage all three factions' military campaigns, with step-by-step information that will lead directly to your success. In any event, I am confident that we will meet again. Oh, and please offer my regards to Lt. Duran when you encounter him.

With best wishes,
Redcrosse

Introduction

Brood War is designed for those who have completed the original Starcraft campaign, and thus have a strong familiarity with the basic units and strategy involved. This guide assumes that same degree of knowledge and is written for the Starcraft player with intent to show how the rules of engagement have changed.

Inside this guide, you will find:

• Strategic overviews of all three races, including suggestions on production, defense, and offense against all three races, all specifically written to reflect the changes in Brood War.

• Detailed analyses of every unit, including extensive descriptions of the new units in Brood War, and explanations of how the returning units have changed, either specifically or indirectly.

• Complete walk-throughs of every Brood War campaign mission, with concise descriptions of mission objectives, key strategic features, and locations of resource caches.

• Cheat codes, for when defeat cannot be an option.
