Are they only going to add zerg units for hots? Because that would be very annoying if the other races dont get units too, I hope they give us our moneys worth, 60 dollars for an expansion is steep.
Blizzard has hinted that each race will be getting new units. Also the expansions aren't going to cost 60$ as far as I know, I believe people it's been said that they will be closer to 40$.

FFS PLEASE NO RPG ELEMENTS
STARCRAFT IS A RTS GAME AND IT SHOULD BE LEFT THAT WAY
It'd be nice if people read sometimes. The RPG elements are in the single player. It's really not a difficult concept to grasp.

I think RPG elements in single player could be fun. It is nice to see they are planning on mixing things up so it wont just be a zerg version of WoL.
I am really excited to see what they plan on doing with multiplayer since they have made it clear that it wont just be adding a couple units to the game. That would be a good thing to save for Blizzcon I bet.
Right. And I don't think we're going to be seeing SC->Brood War style changes; especially given two expansions, more likely is one new unit per race and a unit tweak or two. I'd expect more changes to unit mechanics rather than brand new unit additions.
Seeing as the game already relies heavily on information and preparation for the unknown, adding more factors will only make balance that much more difficult.

Also, it would be cool for Blizzard to update the sounds and music in their expansion packs.
Zerg and Protoss music is decent, but pales in comparison to SC2 Terran and BW music. With an estimated 2 year development period, I'm sure that there should be plenty of time for the sound designers and composers to whip up some new ear candy. So true! I think Blizzard actually should go and hire some pretty well-known artists for music. I wouldn't mind if Trent Reznor did the Zerg music and Daft Punk did the Protoss music  . No more no less! The musics are very bland, without much personality. Here are there are a few parts that sound good, but most of it is forgettable. Like you say, hopefully they'll hire someone up to the task of making something that actually is worth having the music sound on.
Except for the protoss music, the terran and the zerg ones were made by the same guys that made them waay back. It's just a matter of performance anxiety at this point, or not being capable of doing something awesome again, because it was just too awesome.

Lurkers + Scourge
Thanks.

Wonder if the Scourge will be added, the way I see it, it could destroy the P deathball *flees*
|
oh god i just thought of scourge against colossus and how awesome that would be...
|
Banelings with Superman capes on their backs = New Scourge?
Yes§!

Just like bw or tft. Nothing different here.

I honestly hope they don't start adding new units to the multiplayer. I can already hear the echo's of the raging nerds crying "IMBA! IMBA!"
And, i still haven't played the campaign. Single player really just doesn't do anything for me.
|
Wait a sec, why tl wasn't invited for this event? Are they still banned from blizzard press events since that leaked screenshot from 2 years ago?

blizzard just teasing us here. most likely gonna show us some shiny screenshots from the campaign and other very early unit designs. what we see will most likely either be drastically altered or removed altogether from the game by the time retail rolls around (think alpha sc2 and what it is today)

No, it's gonna be gameplay videos + interviews like last time.

I think its probably going to be a reveal and teaser next month, with Blizzcon giving further details and possibly and expected release date for sometime in 2012.

No new units in multi? Just a compaign? Won't pay more than 30$
But knowing blizz they will think of something to force players to buy the expansion and charge them another 60$

RPG LIKE? WHAT IS THIS!?!?!
This should be STARCARFT , not WARCRAFT -.-
wow blizzard really is going big for money there... and dont care about Starcraft Fans.
Are you reading? They're only showing single player. No way they're making stacraft multiplayer warcraft-like, they are different beasts.
|
For the multiplayer, I wouldn't be surprised if they bring back some kind of LAN functionality to the game. That alone will begrudgingly bring the competitive multiplayer scene out of the woodwork even if the multiplayer overall just sees some new achievements, custom maps, portraits etc.
|
Heart of the Swarm single player is going to be DotA-like.
I'm banking that we get some units that already in the game for Terran (I'm banking Medic and Diamondbacks or Wraiths for their "new" units), as well as Scouts for Protoss, and Lurkers for Zerg.
|
If the HotS single player is anywhere near as good as WoL single player I will be :D Seriously, I know people hate on the storyline not being quite as good as the first starcraft but the campaign was just incredible.
I like that they're taking a slightly different approach to it though, should be totally awesome.
