They are probably going to address many of the problems with Zerg in multiplayer with several new units. I think Terran and Protoss might get 1 new unit each to keep everyone happy (an expansion without additions to every race would receive some fan backlash.

I'm hoping Zerg gets units that are actually interesting, it's so boring to watch zerg since all their units feel generic. I'm hoping Protoss gets a new air unit, and Terran gets a new bio unit.

My vote goes to 0 new units or 1 unit for each race.

I like how people are assuming that having RPG like elements in the campaign means that the multiplayer is going to turn into an MMO.

let me bold it for emphasis RPG elements are *only* in the campaign

I bet people are going to continue not reading the thread before posting though.

I thought I'd be free of these kind of posts if I switched from Bnet forums to TL, looks like I was wrong...

Do these people truly believe they will put RPG elements in multiplayer?

People are so silly, multiplayer is obviously not going to have any RPG elements. Please read and make sense. It's as if they have this RPG radar where they see those three letters and flip out like crazy.

I think it will be very cool. Terran was all about getting tech upgrades, Zerg is about upgrading kerrigan probably. Now for protoss, what could they do?

For all of you who are going insane over the RPG elements that blizz says will be part of the HotS campaign, remember that there were RPG elements in the WoL campaign too. The collection of Zerg and Protoss research to unlock insane abilities, using credits to upgrade units/buildings, etc.. Its going to be the same in HotS but in a different more Zerg-esque style. SO STOP FREAKING OUT!

Exactly, if anything it'll be like metroid. Samus/Kerrigan lost all her abilities and will earn them back throughout the campaign. Maybe add some unique zerg unit evolutions and there you go, RPG elements in the single player.

I still don't get how multiplayer will work if new units are added in expansions. Will someone playing on WoL only be able to play vs others on WoL? And HoTS only vs HoTS?

I'm looking forward to a cool Zerg campaign

Yes, there will be a separate ladder for HoTS. ( So WoL vs WoL, and HoTS vs HoTS)

Would like to see the RPG elements in single-player, I think that adds to the feel of the story more than does just a simple RTS style, being that the campaign is lore-oriented.

On a side note, lurkers please!

i dont give a damn what gimmicky mechanics they implement into the single player, as long as they've amped up the plot, then i'm cool.
