didnt the conference call this time in 2010 say when sc2 beta was going to begin? or was it a later one, because im almost certain there was some kind of internet call that showed a date in february as an estimated time to launch beta.

well, the conference call will beon february 8th, so we'll just watch out, but chances are high that the beta will start soon.
blizzcon 2012 was canceled so i think hots will be released before fall 2012. this means the beta has to start even sooner <3

There is no confirmation that there will be beta for HotS in Feb just beacuse WoL had it the same. In fact I would assume there would be some huge global announcement is to when Blizzard would be nearing beta stages of HotS. I'm betting they are still in alpha stages of development and will be for some time.

Dustin Browder even mentioned back in November (via interview) that they were still developing the HotS campaign.

Fall 2012? I'm going to guess early 2013. Blizzard is knee deep in developing Diablo 3 and the WoW expansion, so delays will most likely happen.

Thank you captain obvious. Don't forget though that retail and priority projects push aside other games in development. Diablo 3 in no doubt the next game to be released from Blizzard, and when that day approaches there will be huge focus from the company and community at large. There is also Blizzard Dota to be mentioned, which is rumored to be released sometime this year.

Basically, the only game I expect to see be released this year is Diablo 3. WoW expansion too, but that's a maybe. 2012 Fall seems way to early.

HotS in 2012? Soon.

I'd be happy with a 2013 release. It would allow a bit more longevity with WoL and spread out the experience of SC2 in general.

All I had to do was read the one sentence that contained:

a) a statement (Blizzard is knee deep in developing Diablo 3 and the WoW expansion)
b) a conclusion (so delays will most likely happen)

Guess what? The conclusion you gave was wrong. It's no big deal but I wanted to point out to you that they have different development teams since your' sentence gave the impression you didn't know. If you can't admit you're wrong due to your ego, that's fine, but please don't bash other people for giving you some information.

In the future I would advise you structure your paragraphs and sentences correctly if what you posted wasn't what you intended and you intend to rage at anyone pointing this out to you.

The ability to read is exclusive at this day in age and you just admitted that you failed to read all of what I wrote in the original post. That just shatters any sort of confidence I have in your ability to argue, which to any extent of proceeding this conversation with you would just allow your contradiction or dogmatism to get in the way of interpersonal communication. That being said, can you understand why I am upset at your forum behavior? Don't worry though, nobody is perfect; In the future, please don't waste anybodies time and learn to be a better poster. Have a nice day!

I hope you can understand why I am upset after insulting me. I read your entire original post and it gives no insight or revelations into your faulty logic, incorrect grammar and supposed conclusion. Failing to realize your mistakes, I bid you a nice day as well. Adieu.

I sure hope not.

Why should it be a big, campaign-finishing story moment that Kerrigan finally kills Mengsk when she utterly defeats him, all the Protoss, and the entire UED in a single mission of Brood War?

I think what you *wanted* to say is that Blizzard might not want to release their expansions and games in quick succession for PR reasons and also because there is some target audience overlap between those titles.
It would make sense, even though I don´t think release dates would be close to each other either way.
Especially BlizzDotA, since they never had any involvement in anything like it. Does someone know if Blizzdota is developed seperate from SC2 and if yes, since when?

Unless of course you mean that retail and priority projects are literally going to take away staff from development, which is nonsensical.

If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

@Mataza: Well said.

Think at the progress HotS still needs to accomplish as well. If alpha was nearing its completion and beta was around the corner, Blizzard would have said something by now. Don't forget either that Beta would last a few months, then retailing would also last a few months. Not to mention that HotS, like all Blizzard titles, will most likely get pushed back for unknown reasons.
