Rather than rescuing the downed cruisers full of Warfield's men through hordes of Zerg creatures, you instead try to save the scarce few Bile Launchers that make it through Korhal's air defense networks from the Dominion's ground troops who are trying to deny you a foothold. To top it off, in "Gates of Hell", there are 5 Spore Cannons for you to destroy, while in "Planetfall" you have to try to at least save 5 Bile Launchers to complete the mission.

** DynamicEntry: Attempted in one of the trailers, which then still appears in-game as a nightmare Kerrigan has. A [[WeHaveReserves wave]] of [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Zerg]] are advancing through a city and closing in on a Terran defensive line; after an Ultralisk crushes a [[TheWorfEffect retreating Siege Tank]] underfoot, a Viking swoops down and [[TransformingMecha transforms]] into combat-walker mode, [[GatlingGood opening fire]] on the Ultralisk [[CutscenePowerToTheMax before even hitting the ground]]. However, [[RealityEnsues reality]] [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration ensues]] when the [[MadeOfIron Ultralisk]] flings the [[GlassCannon Viking]] into the side of a building with a single toss of its massive, bladed head.

* RealityEnsues: In ''Wings'', Arcturus's mole may have been killed, but that doesn't mean he has given up on killing Kerrigan. Also, did anyone seriously believe that he would ''not'' deal with Valerian for what is a mutiny in all but name? On the topic of mutiny, Arcturus [[spoiler:surely would have considered allowing Warfield back into his fold, which is what happened on Char during ''Heart'']].

** Had Mengsk not taken the [[spoiler: Xel'Naga artifact]] from [[spoiler: Warfield]], Kerrigan might have lost while fighting on Char. He does the same thing again during the final battle, keeping it back as a personal ace in the hole long past the point where it would have been most effective.

* SetAMookToKillAMook: In the mission Hand of Darkness, the player needs to deal with Hybrid that successively break free from their restraints and attempt to absorb Kerrigan's life force. But, the game doesn't consider the Hybrid and the Dominion forces holding them captive to be on the same team, so with careful maneuvering the player can set the two groups against each other as they move across the map.
