wowowowo i thought that would be a blizzard costum map thinky , so i will have to buy this version? like for eg cataclysm or scbw ?
i like sc2 more than wc3 because of its mind games , in wc3 the only mind game you could do is go for a different hero than normal to make your opponent thing you are retarded

Was kinda hoping for LAN and cross realm possibilities this time, I guess they didn't listen to those requests from the fans.

I like how when asked about LAN, they say they have no intentions of doing anything with it, then continue to babble on about nothing O.o. Almost like they are trying to make everyone forget how they are screw us with no LAN for at least another year or two

You do know, that when they first showed SC2 and you could play some campaign or 2v2s, you played it on LAN. So they had LAN in alfa version or w/e it was. They just chose to remove it.

I'd like to see them implement some kind of matchmaking system for custom games, where you could search out specific matchups...perhaps we might see something like this in marketplace??

Until there's a better first-party support for custom matchmaking, the custom games sphere will still suffer. I'm hoping for *some* kind of intelligent weighting that means players with more games and wins for a map are more likely to go into a same lobby. Implementing something like banlists from DotA would be too much effort on a global basis, but it would be nice to have some determinations.
People don't mind being sold to as long as they understand what's happening.

Wow, it's an expansion... I'm confused, they heavily focused on saying that sc2 won't be a game with 2 expansions, but rather three separate games leading up to sc2's launch... I just hope they are being truthful when they say it will be priced accordingly then. Otherwise getting new people in to the game could be tricky.

And call me sceptical but their "sometime around the launch" comment regarding the map market place makes me think it wont be ready anywhere near time for release and will come out closer to the third expansion.

And finally the hero unit system will be interesting for the campaign. I'm interested to see how they balance it, unlike wc3 where the hero units almost have to be overpowered to make combat interesting due to the low supply limit/upkeep system and creeps... They can't really do that in sc2. And I know they had hero units somewhat in sc/bw, but they were much less overpowered than it seems kerrigan will be.

Anyway, great read and thanks for the article.

They are still having hacking issues and other bugs in general. Why would they want to release a lan client to the public. I hear from a programmers perspective that wouldn't make any sense.

para 1
http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=starcraft 2 3 seperate games
"[The second and third games] will be like expansion packs, but we really want them to feel like standalone products," said Blizzard's Rob Pardo. It was all over the place

para 2
Refer to blizzcon 2009, they said a very similar thing

and para 3 is personal opinion... I'm just interested in how they balance her abilities to make her useful, but not the sole focus of every mission (like the wc3 characters were.)

So... yes... seriously.

Anyway, once again, great article!

If you don't buy Heart of the Swarm, you still can play ladder versus other players who don't have or don't use the expansion. To get the new campaign or new multiplayer units or maps you need the expansion.
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

I call it now: The expansion will be more expensive than expected but they will lower the price of Wings of Liberty shortly before they release the expansion. Media will advise anyone who don't has Wings yet, to buy it, because if offers excellent value for the price.

If *that* expansion content is underwhelming, I am not sure I want to know what they must deliver to satisfy you. A new 60+ mission campaign with a story epicness comparable to Lord of the Rings?

Am I the only person who sees the Swarmling as being supply ineffective?

Going off the OP, it is 3 lings for 50 minerals and 2 supply. Meaning at max supply you can have up to 300 lings.

Speedlings is 2 lings for 50 minerals and 1 supply. Meaning at max supply you can have up to 400 lings.

I love the Raptor upgrade though. Definitely good against kiting units.
