Well they might jump back in time for some "prequel missions" and then continue in the today. You are right that it doesnt really look like its Blizzard art and it seems to look the same as the Brood War art ... except in a computerized technique. Kinda boring if this turns out to be true.

take history lessons xD.
Blizzard Plan A: 3 games only single player based . Multiplayer stays unaffacted from WoL till the end. (multiplayer nerds buy the version they want most, time between the stuff 6 month)

When they noticed bnet was horrible (well they cloned xbox what did they expect). They increased single player size, so they had no one sitting around, while they rebuild the bnet.

Meanwhile alot of people were angry about that they would only need one copy of any of the 3 games to be able to play the multiplayer. (yes paying less is unacceptable !). This anger increased alot when the zerg got revealed with only "9" units whilte the other races had more and of course the lurker lovers added their anger to this.

So they thought hey if they want to pay more money let em. (they already expected the nerds to buy 3 copys of the first game to play on all 3 servers)

Thus they changed to you need all 3 version for the multiplayer (makes it easier for them anyway) and you might get extra units ! (which would have been the case anyway if they needed a new unit to conter one existing a bit more effectiv just for free)

Anyway nothing changed for me since blizzard game single player is a must have alone for the editor updates with any expansion ^^. And now its way more fun for me too, seeing how people can't wait and buy a second WoL copy just to smurf for example ^^.

Could not agree more. Really miss watching replays with friends... I did learn a lot in BW with that.
And that's not even mentioning how much that would help casters... no need from syncing the start of the replay etc...

I think they said in an interview before the release of WoL that this might be something they add in an expansion... so we can hope!!

actually Blizzard said that there will be different Ladders for every Expansion like in Warcraft III and you dont need to buy the Expansions if you just want to keep playing WoL.
--EDIT--

found the post about different ladders per expansion http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=194075

What Browder is saying is that they don't feel that they HAVE to add new units in every expansion. They consider revamping existing units that don't see much use/aren't very exciting to be a possibly better choice, rather than adding more units to an already cluttered roster.

That's it, please stop failing at reading comprehension .

They already mentioned this expansion will be about Kerrigan regaining power over the swarm, it wouldn't surprise me if she regains some of her Zerg looks during that process.

How many units will end up in the final game? SC2 vanilla already has quite a few multipurpose units per team. I thnk they are actually going to end up making it harder on themselves to balance. 1 expansion yes but 2, no

i remember hearing that browder say they might not add units for the multiplayer. i would not be surprised if they add 1 for each race this expansion and stop there.

and give me my reaver back!


Bowder said that they won't *just* add new units in HOTS...



whats the point of an expansion if "you cant add anything" or "you cant add much" . I not saying i dont believe what you are saying, i just find it outrageous that if this is the case, these expands are nothing but an attempt to milk the most amount of profits from the franchise


$40 for a new blizz-produced single-player campaign is outrageous? even if they didn't add anything to the multi, their single-player campaign is still worth expansion money.

Sixen from SC2mapster.com was invited to the event for HoTS. It's this week but no details can be posted until a week after because of the NDA. Here's the thread about it on SC2mapster in case no one has seen it:

I really wish for a zerg unit that can attack while burrowed. It doesn't matter if it is a ranged or a melee unit.


Like the baneling?

Baneling can't attack while burrowed.

You ever play zerg? It has a detonate button, which is still available even when burrowed.

detonate = suicide = death^^. My Point was that the Baneling 'attack' is miles away from the lurker attack.

I understand you are trying to make a point but it isn't very valid. They have to unburrow to attack #1.#2 you need to make sure the other player's units are DIRECTLY above it. You can unburrow them and if they are slightly off a lot of the time the other person's marines or w.e just kill them

Something like lurkers attack WHILE burrowed I.E. you don't have to rely on your opponent to make mistakes for them to attack.

Well every expansion of Blizzard games has been amazing so I'm trusting them to do their thing, can't wait to see what the multiplayer changes are.

You can actually detonate the Baneling without unburrowing it. When was the last time you played Zerg?

I hope they don't add new units to the online play, I think it can be balance the way it is. Hopefully, more units just cause more problems imo. But if they do it, good luck to them
