Great news, but in the other hand I am still not sure wether they are or aren't gonna add more units to multiplayer. The game feels unbalanced in certain ways still and if you don't fix them already I wonder how badly unbalanced will it be after the release.

Way to overreact. Wings of Liberty's single player had some "rpg-elemnts" too, and I'm pretty sure Blizzard does care about starcraft fans

One of the Warcraft 3 campaigns (Frozen Throne? With the bear guy) was RPG styled, and it was very fun. Nothing wrong with it.

Actually I read somewhere that each of these campaigns are going to be stand-alone and DO NOT require previous versions to work...at least thats what I remember reading and won't be able to find you a source

RPG-style sounds really interesting for campaign. 100% confident that they wouldn't change multiplayer all of a sudden lol, system worked before and still works. Why change?

Somewhat strange they are showing it now, instead of Blizzcon.

But it does say it wont have any Multiplayer changes, so maybe they are saving that for Blizzcon?

It's the single player mode... I don't think it'll be that horrible.

It'll probably be more like the mission where we get to play as Tychus/Raynor/and the two other dudes with special abilities. I don't mind that much for single player.

I'm thinking WC3 style at the very least with persistent character levels since it focuses on Kerrigan. Probably some items too. I just hope they give zerg players some sort of ranged splash unit (lurker) and possibly fix hydras in some fashion, just something to make it feel more "swarmy" -The razor swarm or w/e for queens during alpha looked interesting.

I'm pretty sure there was more than a year between first look at WoL and its release. It was pretty brutal wait.

Taken straight from Kotaku:

''Blizzard plans to show off the single-player side of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm for the first time next month, offering an early look at the first expansion for and follow-up to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

We received an invite to see Heart of the Swarm earlier today, promising that we'd see a small portion of the game's campaign, but warning that we won't see any changes or additions to the multiplayer side of StarCraft II at this stage.

Blizzard has indicated that it plans a different approach for the first StarCraft II expansion, one that focuses on Sarah Kerrigan and the Zerg legions for its campaign. It's expected that Heart of the Swarm will include some RPG-like mechanics and perhaps include new Zerg units.

Just because Blizzard is planning to show off Heart of the Swarm next month doesn't necessarily mean it's due this year. Blizzard has indicated that we will likely see the next StarCraft II game in early 2012. Note that we got our first look at the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty campaign nearly a year in advance of the game's release.

Heart of the Swarm is the second part of a planned StarCraft II trilogy.''

So no multiplayer information quite yet but we'll definitely get a better idea of what to expect when the expansion finally does release.

"In other news, Blizzard said that there would be no significant multiplayer changes so that everyone would be able to play online together without having to buy the expansion.

http://pc.ign.com/articles/918/918895p1.html

Pardo explained that the multiplayer remains relatively unchanged; each StarCraft II game will have a fully functioning multiplayer suite with all three races playable. "[In] the shipping product, all three races will be fully featured and balanced in gameplay and also in content," he said. We asked whether that meant the multiplayer suite in each game would be exactly the same, and he said, "More than likely, the successive products will add multiplayer content; we haven't decided right now what that is." That brought up the question as to how multiplayer would work if some players only buy the first game while others only buy the second or third games. He said that they haven't made any determinations yet as to how that would work.

The Rexxar campaign, yeah.

To those worried that there won't be any new multiplayer units in HotS: Browder issued a statement saying that there won't be any redundant units added. Only units that fill a new role.
