Two different campaigns, new units, new custom maps. There was some overlap with regards to returning old units, but BW, did more then just put icing on the cake so to speak. | ||

No, what this will lead to is mapmakers making more maps and not supporting them, so they can earn more money. Right now you can easily copy and rerelease someone else's work. How do they plan on fixing that? Are mapmakers going to have to buy a copy in every region to put their work in every region? What about offshoots? You can't sell a metal slug hommage custom map, that's copyright infringement. Who are they going to pay to sift through these maps? Honestly, I doubt the feature will even release. There's way too many technical difficulties for the feature. You sir, have hit the nail on the head. | ||

Guessing the overseer gets the axe, but I wonder which Terran and Protoss units will go away as well. | ||

A: It's too early to talk about a specific release date at this point in time. As with all Blizzard games, our ultimate goal is to provide the best possible experience for our players, and we will take as much time as is needed to ensure that Heart of the Swarm meets the expectations of our players, as well as our own high standards. That's why Blizzard is such an awesome game producing company. This phylosophy should apply for the whole gaming industry but profits discourage that attitude i guess. | ||

Overpowered stuff can be fixed by fiddling with numbers. Fiddling with numbers is not going to make these units more interesting. The colossus/reaver differences are often given as an example. | ||

Guessing the overseer gets the axe, but I wonder which Terran and Protoss units will go away as well. Well it's good to hear the the Overseer is getting the boot. Now they should really try to redesign the Corruptor, Roach, Thor, Marauder, and Colossi. Incredibly boring units. That's probably just me dreaming though. Realistically I'd expect the Reaper and Mothership to get axed/redesigned. | ||

It seems HotS will allow for destructable paths and floors that will instead do the opposite, remove a path if destroyed. As seen on 0:50 and 0:55 in the video. There were destructible rocks in BroodWar, too. O_o | ||

They just don't want to commit to a deadline and be burdened with the expectations of meeting it. With this rosy little twist, they can delay their product as long as they please and everyone will encourage them for it. Proof positive. | ||

All your posts seem to be about how much you hate Blizzard and SC2, why do you even play this game? | ||

Anyone else see the potential of Raptors in multiplayer? (should they get into multiplayer) Imagine if they can jump over Force Fields or cliffs (ie Hunterlings in the Left 2 Die custom map) | ||

I thought the multiplayer part wasn't going to change! More units? More stuff? Why why? We haven't even be able to get used to WoL and they already want to change it! That's really bad for sc2 e-sports!!  | ||
