I think it will be a prequel to WoL. The story of how the Zerg captured Kerrigan in the first place.

We know how that happened. It's already in a game called Starcraft.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

It will be a direct sequel as Blizzard has already stated that.

I'm thinking that it will be a 'tragic' story in that the Xel'naga or Hybrid are controlling/trying to control the Zerg. Kerrigan will find a way to control the zerg again and not be allowed to <3 Joe Raynor and she will be the 'heart' of it again, but maybe without her scorn and vengeance, but more doing what it takes to make sure the galaxy is safe?

If Heart of the Swarm is about Kerrigan being a human and controling the zerg I will be gutted to say the least. So predictable and boring.

Omg YES. If the next campaign is as in depth/varied/generally insanely amazing in its gameplay as this one I will be a happy bunny.

Anyway, I had a brief think about this today and had the following idea: HotS is going to be about the rise of the hybrids, with zerg battling them like crazy. Then LotV is going to be about the protoss battling the xel'naga/discovering what happened to them.

Not sure about the overmind part, but I'm definitely expecting to see assimilation of zerg units (it would be a good chance to bring the lurker and maybe the scourge back). Also, we might see Kerrigan's memories for a bit, just like Zeratul's in WoL, but hopefully not too many.
What do you call a tennis player who tosses the ball inhumanly well? A protoss!

1. i dont think tycus died, cause jim knew his suit is booby trapped and valerian / acturus are not to be trusted.
2. he cant kill kerrigan, cause zeratul told him to save her, or else....
3. i am actually guessing that HotS would tell the story from kerrigan's perspective during the time leading up to her "rescue", in other words, a partial prequel to WoL.

Now that I think of it, the 3 parts of SC 2 might not be in order...

i think kerrigan will retain a connection with the swarm, and it will be her and raynor vs the dark voice,

remember, she got her human consciousness and MOST of her body back, but that doens' tmean her zerg died. and besides, she was OFF THE CHARTS as a ghost, so yea, she'll be leading the swarm


i don't think it will be a prequel, cause after you beat the campaign, it says

"find out what happens next in HOTS!"

how can you find out what happens next in a prequel. lol

A word of advice to anyone who doesn't want to get spoiled, DO NOT PLAY THE WARCRAFT 3 CAMPAIGN. The SC2 story is beginning to sound a lot like it.

Blizzard is so unoriginal. This is just like how they ripped off the first 2 sc campaigns when they were making the first 2 wc3 campaigns.

going way back to the original post, i have to say i disagree about the way the story ended. I thought they got it almost -- amost -- right.

But Raynor should have gotten shot, badly, or some sort of serious consequence. From a storytelling perspective it would have been SO much better: Karrigan wakes up, sees Jim fall to the ground protecting her, taking out Tychus in turn.

I mean, they were so leading up to it, with Tychus's ominous "things don't always work out the way you expect" or whatever he said... with Raynor verbally handing over the reins to his first officer. And the whole opening scene with Tychus, where they centered on him putting on the suit (remember, these were the first images we saw of this game, back when they were teasing it) -- I mean, with his 100 percent consequence-free betrayal, Tychus became a footnote, rather than a major plot device.

You wouldn't have to kill Jim off, but there's incredibly something poetic about the first thing Karrigan sees as a human being Jim falling to the ground. The savior role is reversed, leaving us to wonder: is he dead? alive? Did he die on a quest to kill his demons and briefly touch what he always hoped he would have, or can she save him?

My two cents.

it's not hard to figure out. hots will be about kerrigan improving her powers, and getting a more RPG-esque feel to it. needless to say we won't be playing the same kerrigan we faced in the last mission, because that'd be too powerful. so, kerrigan was cleansed of her powers and we'll spend hots rebuilding them, because if we don't, hybrids will take over. this has happened in a thousand other games. see, for instance, god of war 2 to 3. you lose your powers in the beginning and spend the rest of the game rebuilding them.

I think this would be a cool direction to take things in.

but this is more likely. Then we all team up and defeated the Burning Legion... err Hybrids, and the galaxy is saved.

Since it's named the heart of the swarm maybe it's refering to the primalfunction of the swarm, one can always hope^^
