Compared to Agira/Redstone etc, Kaldir seems more interesting (it's both at the same time, first third of the campaign). Compared to WoL, in Hots there's more stuff going on than in WoL and less placeholders + more solid story.

I must agree, that no matter what ending we will have and is it leaked or not, I think HOTS campaign will be more epic and fun than WOL.

I 100% agree with you!

Come to think of it, I'm kinda sad that Narud is Duran. He gave me a ton of cash for the extra Zerg and Protoss samples in the campaign, even ones that I farmed from replaying missions. That's a true bro.

I hope Duran comes back in his old form. That voice, that enigmatic voice was so damn chilling to listen to. And how he addressed Zeratul as if the dark templar was a youngling.

Duran must have the same mysterious aura he had in BW~

Duran was easily the most intriguing character during broodwar imo, blizzard needs to do a good job revealing more info about him. Please dont make him another generic villain

Where is that info from?
I found nothing about Kerrigan's psy-blades on wiki (http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Kerrigan)

Yeah i was wondering about that as well. As far as i know it was not yet mentioned, that she is able to do that. Actually not even Protoss are able to do that without a special device that channels their psionic energies in order to form the psi-blade. The only Protoss that ever fromed psi-blades without a channeling device was Tassadar after his Training with Zeratul on Char (Book: Queen of Blades).

I mean i can imagine, that Kerrigan now is comparable to Tassadar in that regard that she is one of the strongest psionic beings out there. So she might be able to form psi-blades by herself now. Or the terrans looked into that kind of protoss technology and were able to imitate it. But until now we did not know that she was able to do this. Just HotS-campaign might tell us. (only 5 days and couple of hours left woooop wooop :-D )

I was thinking it would be kinda cool if we'd have missions where you have an ally helping you.(kinda like WC3:RoC final mission), or you controlling two races at once(like in BW when you have raynor+tassadar).

Just one of those standard missions which every RTS had.

Also, I wonder if those mastery achievements are on top of the old ones or just a replacement? Would be nice to see some achievements requiring brutal difficulty.

Yea, rather than have 1 'Hard Difficulty' achievement listed for each mission like in WoL, they compiled them all into a 'Mastery' series, which is neat and easier to track if you go through the campaign on Normal the first time and complete all of the objectives for it.

They are part of the list on the OP but I guess they were missed. They are a list of the 'Hard Difficulty' Achievements (aside from Hard 5/10/15/20, assuming those are the numbers). The only 'Brutal Difficulty' achievements are the 5/10/15/20 (again, assuming those are the numbers) missions on Brutal ones. I like this implementation. You can get all of the 'mission' achievements on Normal and then move on to the Mastery list for Hard ones. The toughest will probably be defeating all missions on Brutal, unless some of the Mastery speed runs are really tough (no floating buildings this time around).

Just FYI, all of the HoTS Campaign achievements are now visible on the WoL client. Don't click on it if you don't want to be spoiled. Existor can also use this to update the OP for nicer and more consistently formatted screenshots if he'd like.

I don't think she can be compared to Tassadar. I agree she is one of the strongest psionic beings out there. But Tassadar united both Khala and Void energies. He destroyed the overmind. Kerrigan couldn't ever. He kept needing help and such.
(Sorry, huge Tassadar fan) XD
Also, aside from Flashpoint, I've read every single book and comic of SC and never does it state that Kerrigan can wield psi-blades.

OMG I want the Observer one sooo bad!! But they never got it out for WoL! Gah! It's my dream portrait after getting the High Templar.
