I've never been so "meh" at a blizzard trailer before.

We basically just saw:
1. Three fighters attacking some gigantic mother ship (???)
2. Zerg A-moving into a siege line.

Coupled with some lame action beat in the background.

You must be a fun guy to hang with.

Anyone notice that in the Kaldir (? Ice Planet) screenshots, when everything gets frozen, the Overlords are too heavy to fly, so they're stuck to the ground :D

Thanks! Come watch Transformers with me and you can hear these snide remarks all night long (and more).

The opening cinematic is amazing. Blizzard always has the best cgi.

That was pretty epic- except for that one viking that landed right in front of a herd of ultralisks...

though i think wol campaign may be the better one

If that's the case, I'm going to be very pissed. WoL's campaign was trash.

Your nuts, that trailer was amazing and epic. it wasn't intended to be a 1v1, its part of the story line (where the zerg pwns). Plus I'm sure you can create a beautiful cinematic with your CG skillz... right?

I thought the viking was buying time so the banshees could fly back and get into position before Upton the Ultralisk makes his way to the tank line. Same way people leave units behind in ladder so rest of army can escape.

Definitely looking forward to the new campaign dynamics and expansion in general.

lands vikings against ultras, late siege, no marine micro, fails to spot nydus, and builds BCs

deserved to lose IMO

All i though after playing the beta of HOTS for a couple weeks was "I need to move to another game". Blizzard doesn't know what they're doing, so i went do Valve and Dota2

The cinematic is cool. The visuals are sick, though Kerrigan's dialogue is a bit cheesy. The ending redeemed the cheesy lines a bit. I was thinking- oh boy, here's the cliche standing-watching-the-army-invade pose. Then the little twist at the end saved it

I'm actually pretty excited for the new campaign. I really enjoyed WoL's single-player

Amazing how people talk about balance on a Cinematic Trailer that's supposed to favor Zerg...
