Well all i could hear from all of that is that they hugely do focus on the SP part, for attracting more casual players. No MP accents or something, all is about HotS "great" campaign...
Really, i don't need just new SP, even for free.

Well..I just want to play the multiplayer, the WoL story was a downer for me.

But they'll be removing units? and looks like the overseer is the first to go,It just felt like it was trying to hard right from the beta. Wonder what will be next....warp prism? or maybe the collosus for the reaver?

That just means we will get cooler units with the same role. Every unit removed = one more new HotS unit.

Snow maps. Yes. YES.

I wonder about any additions to multiplayer units / buildings, but time will tell.

P.S. is there a reason why the YouTube video is unlisted? Is it due to the N.D.A.?

This is a perfectly satisfying writeup. It literally has all the content that I wanted. I feel like I need to smoke a cigarette now.

They might remove the collosus and add a true strong harrassment unit.
If such a change was made, I would never complain about protoss Again® ( until my next losing streak ).

Awesome article, thanks. I really like the look of the campaign Evo Chamber upgrades, looks like it will be a really good story.

Disappointed that their focus is on singleplayer, but I really like this line:
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

I find it very heartening to know that they're willing to roll back on some of WoL's mistakes.

This sounds fantastic. Starting to get hyped for it now. ^^

I particularly liked the part about the overseer not being a 'cool' unit, so they're looking at changing/replacing it.

Zerg players rejoice, the corruptor will be altered or removed!

I was hoping someone could ask them about implementing something like this in future expansions

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=223889

It just looks so much better from a spectator perspective.

Can't wait for this. Not sure how the community will react to the RPG-elements of the campaign but guess it doesn't matter too much, it's just the single player after all.

I love the addition for map makers to be able to profit from their maps. I've never created one myself but with the insane amount of work needed to create a really good custom it should certainly pay off.
If there would pop up maps in same level of Elemental TD for SC2 I would gladly pay a few bucks to support it.

Sad there were no news about the multiplayer part of the game but guess it's understandable.

Well written post as well, cheers!

Taking out units is kind of weird, but if they replace them with improvements I wouldn't mind it.

I'm just annoyed that they are so against increasing unit numbers... "oh NO we are so close to BW numbers"... so what? Who wants a bland and boring game? I would much prefer a slightly imbalanced game with a lot of viable unit choices, instead of a bland game with perfect balance... and even now they are trying to force terrans to use MM as much as possible, even further restricting unit choice, which is terrible.
Not to mention that there absolutely needs to be more air units to even have proper air balance and variability, instead of "countering" vikings by making more vikings, which is also terrible.
I'll call Nada.

Aw damnit, if you're gonna cut a unit, cut the colossus, leave my overseers alone!

Hope they just come up with 1 more unit per race, and tinker with the existing units that have problems. I'm thinking the reaper needs to have a significant change too, like they can carry mines around.

There really should be better scouting options too for all races.
