Then, because it's Blizzard, it also means getting grenades right after the rifle. This means avoiding vision cones and snapping necks until you get your hands on a rifle. The first batch has just landed.Īnd Nova's a spy, right, so the first mission, which sees her escaping a strange facility where her memory may have been meddled with, offers the opportunity to see Blizzard having a go at stealth.
Now that StarCraft 2's three acts are done, here comes Nova Covert Ops, three episodes of three missions each, with a new lead and a new storyline. StarCraft 2's single-player campaign may never be where the game's true greatness lies, but across three releases, Blizzard managed to turn the story mode into a carnival of gimmickry - a place where soap opera plotlines unfolded while OP units marched out onto the battlefield, a place where an RTS could mean zombies, lava tides and a massive gun that can drill through mountains. Build a suite of RTS missions around the cancelled game's heroine, the sneaky psychic operator Nova. Because how to take what's great about StarCraft and shift genres like that? Maybe the solution is simple: reverse it. Back to StarCraft: Ghost, the stealth-action console title that never was. Where next for StarCraft 2? Back to an ancient promise, I think.
