from just a fanboy's perspective, single player focus will be awesome. I really enjoyed hero missions, and chargelings sound fucking awesome XD. Kerrigan clearly hasn't lost her zerginess, and might still be the queen of blades inside. I just hope they dont make a black and white, single dimension, transition of her new persona. Playing the backstab card from broodwar would be lame. I'd like to see more character development from a expansion dedicated to single player. That said, from what i've seen in WoL, my expectations will probably be dashed against the wall. I hope they really do a better job with the sound. With a terran campaign units can get away with sounding similar in tone/voice, but speak different words. With a zerg campaign....well they really need to live up to the broodwar standard of sounds to make it truly immersive. | ||

Game's just not doing it for me. Haven't played SC2 at all for months (though I still play a lot of BW) and I don't see this drawing me back in. I'm cool with the idea that it's me and not the game, and as always, we'll see! I gave in and bought SC2 after all, though I ended up regretting it | ||

They seem to be looking at improving Tier 1 scouting for all the races, though they're also going to be careful and examine the evolution of the metagame before making final design decisions. | ||

She looks like a 12 year old over-accelerated chubby child. Unless the use of baby fat is among her special abilities in the campaign, I'd prefer her to be more BW style, Angelina Jolie like. If you're referring to the front page pic, that's lifted from concept art. If you're referring to any of the shots in the gallery under Gameplay Screenshots, then they are gameplay screenshots. | ||

I kind of expected to see something about new units and changes brought to multiplayer...Well, Blizzard has been stating for a while that this preview was going to be single player-only. I'm actually surprised at the number of multiplayer questions that got through, though. I think it's logical for them to give a preview of single-player first, especially since any multiplayer changes are extremely controversial and sensitive. It's easy to throw together a bunch of imba ideas for single-player, but multiplayer ideas require a lot more thought and care considering how sensitive the competitive scene is to the multiplayer design and any changes that might occur. According to the Q&A, the development process only recently started, and I don't want Blizzard to troll the community by revealing half-baked multiplayer ideas and spark many threads of controversy only to scrap those ideas later on during development. I personally don't want to see a situation similar to the reveal of the scrapped Soul Hunter unit from the horribly outdated Protoss unit reveal. | ||

Massive/Heroic units are immune (to spawn broodling). Too late for Fenix =(. | ||
