I think it still is a "single" game; they just pre-planned the expansions. The only thing that was really different was that the story was broken into the expansions by race (same amount of content, but I don't know if it was the best choice). | ||

http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/contests/arcade-mod/rules.html and I came across this line "If you reside in the States of North Dakota, Vermont, Connecticut or Maryland in the United States or the Province of Quebec in Canada, you are not eligible to participate in this Contest." anyone know why Blizzard would put a restriction like that? | ||

Certain places have certain laws against stuff that might in some way resemble a contest like this, so Blizzard never does it in those places even if the laws wouldn't affect it, it's the same for certain countries in EU that never get into those kind of contests. | ||

Yes, thank your local/federal government for putting such restrictions on Blizzard.  | ||

Also I never understood why would you ever remove units in an "expansion", the word speaks for itself, you're supposed to expand the game. | ||

Unless they actually make some decent protoss units, I'll have to switch race. Also I never understood why would you ever remove units in an "expansion", the word speaks for itself, you're supposed to expand the game. I can't wait for the new units in Hots as Protoss. The Oracle is going to be fun to use and will be interesting to see how strategies develop off of that. The Tempest I think will actually make Stargate play more viable again and will certainly help against the end game zerg comp right now. I do think though that they will have to at least add a replacement unit for the Replicant, cause as it stands right now Protoss is getting 3 units removed (Mothership, Carrier, Replicant) and only getting 2 new units with (Tempest, Oracle). I'm rather excited for this weekend and what we have to look forward too. | ||
