Well, patch 2.0.2 is the most ambitious patch from Blizzard developers, and like always, they're putting some materials in game resources, sometimes with story spoilers.

And some facts based on datamine:
  • WOL and HOTS game clients will be in same folder. You can toggle between WOL and HOTS multiplayers just through Options -> Gameplay and change here
  • There will be custom interfaces/overlays(?) in the game
  • There will be function to record video in the game. No media, but only text in game strings. Here is description for that function. Of course it not works now.
    You can toggle in-game video recording by pressing CTRL-F11 while playing a game or watching a replay. Videos are stored in your user directory's StarCraft II Videos folder in Theora OGV format. Recording high quality video may considerably slow down your game experience.

  • Story spoiler!+ Show Spoiler +
    HOTS story starts 3 weeks after WOL has ended. Intro-description for HOTS Campaign.
    It has been three weeks since the terran invasion of Char. Deep within a secret research facility in the Umojan Protectorate, Sarah Kerrigan wrestles with the darkness of her past and the uncertainty of her future.

    [image loading]
    ^ this is the end-story picture after finishing HOTS campaign. If you enlarge it, you can see that it looks similar to appartaments of Mengsk from leaked ending, isn't it?



And here is a small preview of not that big datamine of the latest patch

This is really cool. Looks like the dominion has some control over the Zerg now. Could you elaborate on how big of a spoiler it is? I'm so curious now.

Oh damn, okay. SUPER glad I did not click on the spoiler tab. But this is great nonetheless. Great work digging this up!

I think protoss theme 6 improves upon SC2's other protoss themes. Nice.

Well, it's not that good or bad, just normally done ambient for Protoss race. Zerg themes are more nice really, those slow drums, hive feeling, sounds great.

Regarding the Protoss theme, I personally love the huge orchestral buildup in the latter half that begins with the rumblings of the low brass and peaking with the entire orchestra joining in with somewhat of a melody on top of it. It feels really epic to me, more so than the other Protoss tracks.

Sigh, was hoping for new music and was really glad someone finally brought it up but unfortunately blizz seems to think that zerg music should consist of a bunch of random sounds and drawn-out musical moaning.
Why can't it be more like the zerg music from BW.

I hope that Zerus will be the end of HotS story instead Mengsk kill. But that picture reminds me about abandoned room of Mengsk with tons of swarmy things flying at the background.

I hope too, that final battle will be with Feral Zergs instead with Mengsk -_-

i had a hope that i didn't spoil the end for me, only some midgame achievemnt for kerrigan. I mean...it would be sad if HotS is only about Kerrigans personal problems, but not about those of the zerg (in focus at least), even tho Kerigan is my fav.


btw, is there more to come?
no i guess, as the extraction was easy to do this time, wasn't it?

The Zerus music has a Metroid feel to it, I like it.
