oh Blizzard, even if its not the final thing, bioware are using the most generic RPG plot, but always manage to pull out something incredible with it. The SC universe has so much potential and its all getting wasted by hollywood gimmicks

man, I saw it just right now and you guys are right.. what a fucking let down.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I've been trying to think what Kerrigan means by her statements at the end of the cinematic.

"I keep my end of the bargain...and leave humanity to it's fate."

What bargain is she talking about? What fate? It makes me think that she was forced into freeing the Zerg to save humanity. Perhaps the Dark Voice and it's connections in the Dominion were rivaling Kerrigan for control of the Zerg, like many people have speculated even before this cinematic got leaked. That would be one good reason other than "revenge" for Kerrigan/Raynor to go crush the Dominion as an endgame of this expansion. Had the Dark Voice succeeded in controlling the Zerg, or even part of it, it could have easily destroyed all mankind, especially if it successfully had Kerrigan killed and gained full control.

"The Zerg are free now, slaves to no one, not even me."

I think this backs up my theory that there is more than one force trying to gain control of the Zerg. It seems redundant to say "slaves to no one" and especially "not even me" unless another force was trying to enslave them. I really doubt it's speaking of the Overmind, considering it's been dead for a long time anyways. It most likely is Dark Voice, his pawns (such as Narud/Duran), or some Hybrid.

"So whether they be the bringers of life, or the destroyers of worlds, I'll help them find the answer, out there, amongst the stars."

The answer to this clearly will be told in Legacy of the Void. Kerrigan has left the Zerg to chose their own purpose to their existence. Will they aid the Protoss in defeating the Dark Voice and it's Hybrids? Probably. Hopefully it won't be just that easy. Maybe the Xel'naga will convince them.

it doesnot fit the story of WoL at all. so it could either be a much earlier version of the story or a fake, what is possible as wel. i dont beleve it is the true ending.
Edit:
i feel like i have to explain why it doesnot fit the story of WoL:
first, kerrigan is not human, so it has to be before WoL, but then Mengsk dies, so it has to be after WoL. paradox?
it just does not fit, so it is not the end of HotS

Well they said way back that In HoTS the main charachter is Kerrigan and something about regaining/gaining power, and romours about rpg elemets.

So it's posible that at the begining of HoTS she is human, and at the end of the campaign she is back to being infestesed and at full strength.
My personal bet is that instead of the lab and tech research points, you are upgrading Kerrigan in HoTS.

I see three possibilities.

1 - Real. Everything remains as is until the day of release.

2 - Real, but Blizzard assumes that this leak will destroy the game. They get to work and rethinking the script, with a new ending.

3 - False and released by Blizzard on purpose. There have been many cases of television series that create 2, 3, 4 alternative endings so that nobody knows what is the "good" ending even in case of leakage.

A flashback to the first time she felt that pain when it was implanted in her skull. Neuro Inhibitor I believe it's called. It's to keep Ghosts under control if they go rogue for some reason.

If I'm wrong feel free to correct me, but it's something like that.

"The zerg are free now, slaves to no one, not even me. So wether they are the bringers of life or the destroyers of ..."

When I saw the ending I had no idea of what to say, changing the zerg completely, making them so...weak.
And then kerrigan going from the "queen bitch of the universe" to this melodramatic whiny person that had the goal to "set the zerg free".

./sigh

I really hope this isn't true, because from seeing that video the story will become even more silly/hollywood'esque then WoL

Personally, this Mengsk's "win button" is pretty obvious and a minimum intelect would have a similar device. My only problem is that it IS a button. He, as a super genius, should have thought about something less breakable, the whole thing would be better - and Raynor! WTF? I mean, it wouldn't be more "facepalm" than that! The princess is in danger and here comes the knight in shining armor to save the day.

Yes, I'm a Mengsk's fanboy and I think that he was GREATLY underused. He's actual intellect (the one we see in the videos) is much lower than his idealized intellect. And seen this ending, I have no doubt that it's real and will be as it is, just because of Arcturus' mistake. Tipical of the WoL writing.

I wanted to see him the way I saw him in SC I and BW: hated by all, but needed to stay alive to help them. THAT's a genius. It doesn't matter whether people hate you or not, as long as they need you. And now, what do we see?
I fear no enemy, for the Khala is my strength! I fear not death, for our strength is eternal.

Its like the valarian introduction, Someone with a ability to kill him comes in and suddenly somting happens what changes the tides, Whatever its a offer to safe kerrigan or to kill mengsk and be a shiny armored knight, Kerrigan having 1000 mutalisks waiting outside is kind of stupid.
