This is one of my favorite Wings of Liberty missions. It reminds me of a zombie movie. I love the idea of hunkering down and just defending a base and only coming out during the day.
A truly examplary performance during this campaign Jay! I still think, that you shoudn't have invested in upgrades for Reapers and Firebats, but I think that this is just the way you wanted it to be done.
I really like the vibe off this mission and its design, also I appreciate the Swann backstory conversation. A big difference in SC2 from the original is the chats between missions, it really balloons the lines characters get, combined with more mid-mission dialogue. Some of it's not very inspired or just functional, but honestly, it's a part of SC2 I enjoy. Brood War had to be economical, with big character speeches and briefing screens, and the result was usually great writing, while SC2 can provide a broader look at characters and setting. Like MrBTongue said in his classic video on 'Shandification', it's something video games can offer - getting lost in tagents as long as the player pleases, stuff that any more directed medium would cut.
You can actually stop that backwall from falling. A group of infested are scripted to break it down, so if you position defenses right up against the wall and kill them fast enough, then the rest of the infested will just ignore it for the rest of the mission. Easiest to do with siege tanks.
Yeah, reaper is the key unit here. I've completed this mission on brutal without U-238 upgrade before the 4th night but my mission time was 1 minute longer than yours.
Jay, given your noted love of Firebats, why do you not use Firebats as your main attacking force in this mission? They're super effective against basically everything you fight on this mission, buildings included if I recall properly, why not make a ball of 20 Firebats are sweep the map with flames? Reapers are faster to get around but Firebats are more awesome, why not use Firebats?
WoL Reapers are better in this case because they still have their anti building weapons and of course, massive mobility. Completing the missions fast is also for another achievement to finish the entire campaign in less than 8 hours. "Hurry up boys, it's raid night" is the achievement. I never got it because I turtle too much XD
Why not hellions? They're quicker and still do AoE. The only issue is they don't have that flame cone upgrade the firebats do. I usually leave my firebats in my bunkers because they're more effective against ling rushes.
Jeez, you must have lost, like what, 15 ? 20 ? Units by just straight up rallying them through the hordes of zombies. That was incredibly wasteful, ESPECIALLY for the mercs.
Hanson: “Don’t forget to be back by dark!”
Jay: “Okay, I will!”
Few minutes later
Jay: “I think this is the night we stay out.”
Lol
I usually play the dig mission before this because what's better than watching infested being ravaged by siege tanks
Me too
Siege tanks are too op in this mission
@@williamwen3477 Me three :)
"If it comes to that, maybe I can talk 'em down."
"NOPE."
Blowing up their mothership is sort of a way of talking them down.

when i did this i had siege tanks unlocked. made it more fun.

this is once again fresh in my mind, thanks for the gameplay :)
You can actually kill the derpfestors at daytime if you build a missile turret near them to detect them while they are burrowed.
Or, if you're 20000 IQ, you have a marine stand over festors and use hellion splash damage to kill them
Hrmmm never thought about that.Thanks.
@@zaxtonhong3958 I just watch where it moved while cloaked and use the buildings as a way of attacking them with the hellions
Science Vessel as well mobile detector
Great strat i can honestly say i nvr thought about it this way brings in a whole new level of playing :P
This is my favorite mission. Shrike Turreted Bunkers just mow down the infested at night

Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the show
Don't you need to do 1 more mission before the dig?
My favorite mission. I always do it with siege tanks for the lolz
On Meinhoff.I used Reapers.
They move fast and do a lot of damage against buildings.Plus they could jump over cliffs and buildings.
Don't forget to type "Over engineered codpiece" next time you're near the jukebox.
fun fact: you can use stimpack on a loaded bunker, and a medic inside will heal all units
They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
OH YESSSSSSS. THE STRAT. THE STRAT!
what is the name of that music in the end scene of outbreak?
I'm actually redoing the whole story via mass recall 7.0 and the rest of them. I've made it to the void campaign mission 2 lol started last week
Yeah, reaper is the key unit here. I've completed this mission on brutal without U-238 upgrade before the 4th night but my mission time was 1 minute longer than yours.
Im playing this right now and realized there is a certain order to do the missions? I dont have reapers or perdition turrets. Lame.. for me..
Is it possible to defend and attack at the same time during the night?... Just asking. I once completed this mission without doing so.
i spent 2 hours on this mission, watching siege tanks kill them zombies is fun xD
Infestores always changes positions

Firebats are awesome but reapers are just BADASS. My opinion.

Firebats are slow

Wemon optimizama.
If tycus wasn't a Thor death machine, blue space steel mean machine. I'd say everyone is crazy lunies
Reeeeaperrrr

I don't get it Jay. You've finished all campaigns of SC2, why repeat everything?
1) Because I wanted to play it again.
2) My SC2 series are my most viewed and they are all old, with a cheap microphone and pretty poor play.
TL;DR: This is more or less a remastered version of your playthrough, am I right?
Want a nightmare the used to go big bada boom
They
Zombie Apocalypse.

I like how I smashed this map, yet this is a concern to you
@@JayborinoPlays Yeah, I really hate wasting units, especially mercs. It feels very inneficient really.
NOPE!
the voice actor that plays the doctor is so, so bad.
In what way, she is the same actress that voice Liara in Mass Effect.
two shits,,, itali and tessin...........
