This is very interesting! One very notable point:

"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."

Taking out multiplayer units imo is a really good idea...never thought Blizzard would do that. Thought they would just add and add and add. Hopefully there are more units besides just different versions of lings/banelings/roaches.

Looks interesting. That baneling upgrade that splits your banelings into mini banelings will be so imba lol.

The single player will be uqite fun. And as much as people liek to bitch and moan for 2-3 more units per expansion I actually completely agree with the dev team that tweaking is the key. Changing the overseer, making more tier 1 scouting available, those sort of things can develop teh game better than adding scourge lurkers defilers, medics firebats vultures, or reavers and arbiters.

Oh man that was sickkk. can't wait for the new units.

edit: oh and can't wait for beta either. and i'm kinda split on the expansion part for NA and EU. Was really hoping it would be an entirely new game so there would be cheaper for new people. But in this order, it seems that it will be an expansion for those who have the game already.

While we're not quite ready to go into detail about the new multiplayer content in Heart of the Swarm, we can say that this expansion set will include new units and new maps. We'll have more details about multiplayer Heart of the Swarm content at BlizzCon.

Do you need heart of the swarm to have this ??
