Wow, it's going to be very difficult for Blizzard to top HotS with the Protoss campaign now :O

Awesome write up, guys.

Story/lore wise, it's a little bit troubling that the Zerg now have internal politics since it just makes them alien people instead of The Swarm, and I swear to god those two missions are pulled out of WC3. Next missions Mal'Ganis is going to appear and trick Kerrigan into releasing a big dumb sword from some ice.

The Q&A was good, though.

Kerrigan has been playing internal zerg politics from the start, picking off cerebrates, the new overmind etc..

She did it, because she was part human, but the other cerebrates didn't position themselves or beg for their lives. They acted out of instinct.



The Queens and (presumably) Broodmothers have Human DNA too.


Got a source on that?

I thought they were being controlled by the overmind (the cerebrates) and that the overmind had infested Kerrigan in order to aid him in controlling the Swarm as well as defeat enemies. Further, weren't broods always fighting? I remember many BW missions where I had to unite broods and fight other Zerg broods in the campaign.

Got a source on that?


'Their new morphology hints at the incorporation of Terran or Protoss DNA, or perhaps even the Zerg-altered genes of the Queen of Blades herself'

http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/game/unit/queen

I am speciulating on the Broodmother thing - but as the Zerg incorporate DNA/biology from other creatures I'd imagine anything that looked human probably has some kind of human 'morphology.' I assume the Broodmothers are human/Queen-like in appearance, I guess that Queen looking thing that takes ages to die surrounded by wtf-lings in the trailer is a Broodmother.

Awesome read, great write-up.
But HoTS is going to have to really wow me before I even think about pulling the trigger on this one.
So far- so "meh".

Writers did a really good job covering the content.

I can't help but remember when we got our WoL preview though and how excited everyone was then...and honestly its hard to believe there's so many people in the thread that think this is only sick! and looks awesome!

Their interview responses provided a little bit of hope but every new answer just seemed to end with them only wanting to do things that ' seemed cool '.

And as zelniq already said, if they really feel like WoL was catered to the hardcore community they have not been listening to anything at all lol... People gotta remember everyone is gonna buy this game initially whether they end up continually playing/liking it or not....but if we're gonna give our grievances as a community we should give them really early...

We shouldn't wait like we did in WoL and then have colossus/forcefield/marauder/planetary fortress imba or ultralisks completely useless complaints 8 months after beta. If everyone is complacent and just says...yeah ok blizzard whatever you give us is cool we end up with shit like facebook integration over LAN.

Edit: Honestly when they said they catered for competitive players why did nobody stand and up and say...hey blizzard did you notice that every single major competitive event has been fucked over by your bnet2.0 whereas bnet 1.0 would've allowed for an even better and smoother tournament? Q&A that shit please.

You mean with a new ladder, that everyone will be playing and that will have a new multiplayer that all the strategies will reflect?

I mean unless you dont play SC2 at all I don't see how you need the game to wow you. Personally thats my perspective.

If you are hardcore into BW thats fine then lets hope HotS wows you

I would love for the collosus/viking/corruptor to be replaced by more intresting units, i can only hope...


I think viking is fine, but yeah corruptor/collosus is so boring


Meh, a slow unit with super long range, only AtA option, if you want to beat them you build more of them..
I would prefer them if they were ground units with a weaker aerial mode(they could even keep the range to act as a support unit to a new terran air unit or two), than air units with a very weak ground mode.


No it is an AtA with GtG too. I agree tank/rine/viking sucks hard in TvT, but they do have potential for some fun play, just havn't seen enough of it.
That cannot be said about colossus and corruptor though.


I said it's the only AtA option, as in you don't have anything else for AtA, not that they are only AtA.
I'll call Nada.

Wow, the new unit customization looks so sick. I'm gonna have so many instant triple zerglings that shit broodlings.

Taking units out and adding new ones sounds awesome too. I hereby volunteer the Corrupter and Overseer for removal as these are easily the two most dull units in the game. I play T, but seriously, those guys pretty much blow.
Life is too short to take it seriously.

Removing some units from multiplayer seems a little sketchy, but I'm confident blizz will make the right decisions.

Can't wait.
