In the latest Ghosts of the Past SCII trailer, near the end, Raynor ejects a shell casing from his gun. Then, the shell casing is shown on the ground with the capitalized letters HEV. Does anyone know what HEV means? Is it an acronym or 3 letters of an incomplete word?
More screenshots of the HEV shell casing.

Sweet.
This is driving me crazy. Alot of people on TL and youtube have asked this question but no one has posted an answer. I've google searched and TL searched, no luck.
I find it weird that they would dedicate around 4-5 seconds to this specific shot. I think the significance is alot more than a simple bullet casing hitting the ground.
Possible answers were:
"Heavy EnVironmental suit" like in Half-Life
"Hard Erection from Viewing" because the video was hot
"HEaVy" since it was a heavy (or HE-V) round casing
But none of these possibilities sound satisfactory to me.
Anyone have the answer?
Other possible answers discovered after the start of this thread:
Spoiler Alert
+ Show Spoiler +Not kidding, might be story SPOILER, read at your own risk.+ Show Spoiler +This link is from a forum that says the HEV might be a serum that Valerian offered to Raynor that would revert Kerrigan back into a human. HEV = Human Evolutionary Virus ? This makes sense because in the Ghosts of the Past Trailer, Valerian says he can offer Raynor what he's always wanted, and we all know that is probably Kerrigan. Also, since the Dominion created the Zerg, its possible that HEV is the name of the substance the Dominion created in order to counter act the Zerg. Maybe..
Edit: added Screenshot
Edit: added possible lore explanation (spoiler is hidden unless manually shown)

I was curious of the same thing, whatever it is, they'll probably go more into later on or else I really couldn't see why theyd lead you on with that and no explanation.

Other possible answers:
Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Hepatitis E Virus
High Endothelial Venules
Hemorrhagic Endovasculitis
High-End Visualization
Hazardous Environment
High Entertainment Value
Human Entry Vehicle
High Energy Visible
Hotel Everest View
Higher Education for Virginia
Higher Economic Value
Haute Ecole Vaudoise
and many more
so therefore...who knows =/
Oh but if I really had to guess it would be something like "Highly Explosive V"...but I don't know what the V would stand for.

Wow. maybe you should have had a spoiler alert on this. thanks for that bro. great post!
|
HEV is "Hazardous Environment" in Half-life
|
Hyper Evolutionary Virus.
|
Huh, for whatever reason I was under the impression that he impaled his sniper rifle (which is another odd thing for raynor) in to the ground.
The very first time I saw it, I also thought it said 7/27 (because that would have made sense, not because my eyes saw it necessarily.)
EDIT: A weird way to abbreviate Heaven's Devils maybe? *shrug*

Wow. could you overreact more? He didn't even spoiled anything.... he just said that at somepoint you'll see something with the letter HEV and it's not really THAT important in the video. Sometime I feel that "spoilers" are an excuse in these forums. He didn't give you any match results or how the games end. Now if he had said raynor dies at the 12th mission... would have been a spoiler but saying that there is a piece of METAL flying with the letter HEV... that gives you barely no information.
As for the letter HEV I think... (not sure) it would be a kind of bomb or somehting? don't know... guess we'll know on the 27th
|
High Explosive Velocity maybe
|
Oh I think I got it now...if it's on a shell casing then I think it's Highly Explosive Vessel.
|
It could be the name of the weapon manufactory. Now lets think about a firm or planet or sth like that with a fitting name.
|
I think you are reading a bit too much into it. I imagine it stands for heavy nothing more than that.
|
It most likely is in reference to something that will be in the campaign or yet to be released.
|
It means he summoned Gordon Freeman to battle the Zerg.
|
Keep in mind it may not be an acryonym, it might be part of a full word.
|
Looks like it's on a missile casing
almost certainly stands for High Explosive
The V could from from ExplosiVe, or Vessel, Vehicle, Volatile... or something else.
Probably High ExplosiVe
|
'Ey man Jimmy boy here.
Think that means heavily enlarged variable.
Doesn't make sense? Hell yeah pal, Raynor out.

Sorry, but I don't see how this spoils anything. The HEV is from the video released by Blizzard after the Dominion propaganda website reached 100%. There is another thread on TL about this same video, I'm just making a thread to discuss a small part of it. This isn't a video from the actual game, because obviously, I don't have it... YET
|
it's obviously a high end vaporizer.
|
high explosive
HEaVy round
basically it makes the zergs turn into goo. i think thats all we need to know about it
