Saying that they are probably going to remove old units is pretty crazy, didnt expect that


That's actually one of the parts I liked, there's already a couple rather useless units in the game already, adding more units will only add to that number, especially over the course of 2 expansions, removing units and/or significantly changing them is a really good idea aimed at keeping the game fresh and addressing some of the larger balance concerns.

I have played the campaign many times, and I often go back to replay it. I can see myself playing through this expansion multiple times as well. I am excited about the rpg element that was a little to infrequent in WoL. I am really curious to see how the implement the mechanic side of things during the campaign mode. I am betting the on brutal you will need to be pretty good at mechanics to get through. One question I would ask is: will Blizzard limit the cheesy ways to beat missions that are available in WoL?

Nice articles. Though i'm not really hyped about it. Hopefully it will be much better than WoL.

It's a pity Kerrigan won't be that hot T_T

Brood War called, it wants its campaign back. Oh, and warcraft 3 is on the other line (and he sounds pissed)


le fucking sigh. I had really hoped blizzard would do something really fun and innovative with this new expansion. With Wings of Liberty, you're using humans, forcing you out of the more fantastic parts of science fiction, it's also the first game, so it's best not to over complicate matters and better to make a simple, but fun game. Heart of the Swarm is Blizzard's first real chance in SC2 to say "LOOK AT ALL THE FUN STUFF WE CAN DO WITH A GAME". Instead they took the Wings of Liberty campaign, added a really generous portion of Brood War, and topped it off with RPG elements from Warcraft 3. Instead of making an interesting and new game, they chopped up their previous titles into servings most likely to keep fan boys from different franchises on board.

I mean for fucks sake "War for the Brood"

Seriously?

When I first saw the leaked ending for Heart, I laughed at it's very campy, very cheesy ending, marveling at how similar Blizzard can make the Zerg and the Orcs. "Oh, they just leaked it to get fan reactions to see if everybody anybody liked it, they'll surely change it after all this outrage" I thought, surely a multimillion (billion?) dollar company could hire a half decent set of fucking writers right?

Apparently it can't.


you go write the story for them then, since you know oh so much about it.

I'm really holding back until I see some real evidence about addressing multiplayer issues. I really don't care about how good the single player is going to be and I don't think that any of the ladder/competitive players care either.

My faith is Blizzard is heavily shaken as their creative talent is slowly being replaced by greed and underwhelming "creativity".

Half the answers are "things we're looking into at".

And it was the same for WoL. The list of things they've actually implemented and fixed is small. Don't expect many of the things they're looking into to appear.

We're going to add some new multiplayer units, and take out some multiplayer units and we're going to try to make it really great, but a ton of the work is going to go into single player.

I'm not the one who's being paid (probably paid very well) to write lore for 3 separate games and have them all come out the same. Given, it's a very smart move that cuts his work to 1/3 of what it would be, but the quality suffers.

I'm also not the one with a writers background who's been writing at a professional level for the past 20 years.

I'm not the one who should know that this is pretty much the lowest common denominator in writing science fiction.

He is.
