Nice interview - excluding your cellphone studying! Note it's much more polite to just have a break of a few seconds between questions [which you can always edit out if you want] than to take your attention off of your subject while they are answering your question.

Also, Dustin Browder is a stone cold boss.

Hidden expos are awesome! I can't really see why that is a reason not to use large maps on ladder. It is very risky but can be rewarding..if you are good you scout for it.

Been sitting on that one a while, hadn't ya?

Great cinematic, as expected of Blizzard. Nothing needs to said about the campaign, at least, as they're fantastic with those. We'll just have to see how the multiplayer pans-out.

Customizable observer UI
We were treated to a video demo of how a customized observer UI would like in-game.

Skins for units
On top of new portraits and in-game logos, skins will be part of the experience and ladder reward system of Heart of the Swarm. The preview that we saw had only a picture of units skinned from campaign (mercenary marines, dark zealots, raptor zergling). The details are still being worked out on how to introduce interesting skins without introducing too much clutter to the competitive aspect of the game.

Now there needs to be a option to turn it off from the player's perspective.


THERE NEEEDS to be an option to turn it off.....

I'd rather pay a monthly fee straight up than being forced to play with this...


there will be an option to turn this off

i got this from instarcraft.de hots coverage

People need to remember that this trailer was probably in the works before the new units were finalized.

Very cool cinematic and the campaign seems quite fun. I'm hyped for this !!!

I actually think that the alternative skins are a great thing for esports :
In a mirror match, it would be cool to have a player on alternative skins while the other one is on basic's.
It might make ZvZ way more watchable.

Emperor Mengsk is not getting out of bronze-league anytime soon with that unit composition and micro.
