I didnt realise that they are going to take out units and add others, seems a little annoying considering the game is pretty balanced as it is.

Hm... nothing about possible new units, only some shiny campaign features. I kind of expected to see something about new units and changes brought to multiplayer...

Why? They said it was going to be a single player only event months ago.

I loved what they said about the overseer, it really is a glorified scout/detector. Loving the swarmy feeling of the new units, just hope to see some cool new units designed for Multiplayer HOTS. Thanks for the write-up, I'm so excited for this Campaign/multiplayer.

Wow great coverage TL!

Also: Unit Removal Bingo!!!

I'd say Overseer, Corruptor, Infested Terran, Reaper, Battlecruiser, Carrier and maybe the Mothership will go!

Cool article, well written indeed.

I just really don't want her to turn back to the way she was, when it seems like that's all this campaign is about. Raynor shot his friend and gave up a chance to largely eliminate the Zerg in order to turn Kerrigan back, and she regains her powers and just resumes where she was? That seems like really weak story, and really disappointing coming off from the ending of WoL. I can't see how else this could end up, unless the Zerg start becoming diplomatic. Having Kerrigan's swarm allied with Raynor goes against the whole theme of Zerg...nature's fury.

Going back to a fully infested queen of blades definitely sounds like they would be laying a big pile of crap on WoL's face. There has to be some catch to it. Maybe she retains her human mind while still getting back her full power somehow. She is without a doubt though going to be turning more and more infested as the campaign moves on though, as has been pointed out.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Finally the preview is here. Thanks for the info TL. I am excited for HoTS but that is for another year or so, right now I am more excited that Blizzard finally accept the fact that they failed in design many units in WoL(multiplayer wise).
Hope that they can get their shit together, and learn something from the design of SC:BW, that would really help to make HoTS much better.

Overseer and Reaper only. Carriers are currently not experimented yet.
Polt was right about luck

Uh, the teaser about units getting scraped out of the current mulitplayer really makes me wonder..

the changes to the whole 1vs1 gameplay, strats and the beloved metagame could be pretty huge; i really want to know, what is going to happen unit-wise ^^'

From the gameplay preview vids, it does seem that Kerrigan has retained some of her attitude and rage from her Queen of Blades days despite suffering from a bit of amnesia and forgetting about her actions during that period.

Also, it seems that the concept art of Kerrigan in front of the Ultralisk-thing has Kerrigan's right arm look somewhat "infested" despite the rest of her body looking normal. Quite interesting.

I think this exp will make me like Zerg. A bit worried about the big focus on Kerrigan in single player, I like to try as many units as possible.

lol at the video interview.

the artosis question is cruel! and I'm quite impressed by how all of them seemed to get the jokes instantly. Looks like they pay very close attention to everything in the community.

Ah and the other dude also mentioned he is addicted to starcraft podcast. Must be an SOTG fan as well. Pity it's ending soon ( or taking a break)

Cool, sounds fun to mess around with. Just hope that none of this stuff makes it into multiplayer...

I think we'll get more MP news at BlizzCon. Hope they also reveal clan support there.

having to pay to play a custom map with friends sounds like it could backfire...we'd want to actually see if it was worth playing more than once before spending money on it

it'd probably lead to us just ignoring said maps
