They better have lurkers this time around for SP and MP, considering Heart of the Swarm is the expansion pack of SC2.

ok now that would be awesomely brokenAquavelvaman said:Infestors will just spawn infested marines AND infested medics.
Dunno, when I heard SC2 was going to be 3 games I expected them to be trying new and different things for each campaign :-/pieatorium said:Well it is the zerg expansion of wol, not sure what you were expecting lol.

HK-47 said:Because most people think the story is epic and awesome.
And cause Metzen doesnt realize he cant fucking write worth a shit.
He co-wrote. Everything since then has been a mess.momolicious said:didnt metzen write sc1 and bw?
Wow, what the hell happened to his writing abilities?momolicious said:didnt metzen write sc1 and bw?
who did he co-write with?HK-47 said:He co-wrote. Everything since then has been a mess.
You do realize he was the one who wrote most of the overarching lore that comprises WoW....Aquavelvaman said:He spent too much time reading WoW lore on their forums
They were all pretty good in SC1 up until the end. I mean you can just as easily boil Protoss down to "omg I lost my homeworld ((((("Hexadecimalt said:The Protoss campaign always had the best storytelling of Starcraft in the original games. Really I see it all coming down to them, as it did for the originals.
Terrain < Zerg < Protoss IMO in terms of campaign storylines for the orignals.
It's too late for the Terrans and possibly the Zerg given what we've gleaned from the leaked script. Perhaps the Zerg campaign may shed more light on the true nature of the Xel'Naga, but from these screens it looks more like it is going in the direction of sitcom bullshit, especially with the 'I AM THE MEMORY OF YOU' screen.
So, fuck the humans and their terrible "we're the center of the universe" bullshit and squabbling for petty political control. Fuck the Zerg TV-trope of having Kerrigan re-confront a force she was just previously in full control of. And I'm not even going to think about Kerrigan's herp-derp resurrection.
Blizzard always saves the best for last.
Bring on the real masters of the universe.
Legacy of the Void will redeem the story.
BELIEVE.
D3 will be out before HotS, believe.BananaBomb said:god spare me the pain of the story in this game. they should just remove it completely for the next xpac and use the extra time saved on making fancy high detail zergling models to finish d3 or something.

Nice OP ling upgrades here. Speed, spawn broodlings on death, and (I assume) even faster build speed.[/QUOTE]
ling speed isn't OP its required to make them not suck.
BananaBomb said:is it just me or does this whole evolution chamber business seem like we're going to get a hyperion rehash with zerg flavor? i thought the whole point was that now we get a different type of overworld experience...
I hope she starts that way and slowly regains her powers so she will eventually lose the gun.ultron87 said:I think it's that but with a focus on Kerrigan as a hero unit.
Her using a gun in those screenshots annoys me...
Edit:
That a new Protoss widget up in the top of this image (to the left of the gateway and pylon)?

no you are not the memory of the queen of blades.

metzen retire plz.
lol it could still be good. Never lose hope. Maybe right after it says that Kerrigan rips it to shreds and that horribleness dies right there. Believe it can still be good!Pandaman said:those are not cerebrates.

That new upgrade time is really a killerPandaman said:there's a second new protoss building in one of the screens. its also mildly curious that the toss are using gateways in the place of warpgates.
BananaBomb said:i got tickets. will heavily consider. i was pretty (really) upset with wol, haha.
This! The gameplay for the single-player was a lot of fun and nicely varied and not repetitive (hard thing to do for an RTS campaign) but the story was nothing memorable at all.Yoshichan said:The actual singleplayer campaign is really entertaining and fun... the story however, sucks so hard.
That would still be better than "there must always be a queen of blades", seriously fuck WotLK.Bowdz said:Also, is this going to be the exact same story as SC1 with Kerrigan having to gain control and unite the various Zerg broods?
If so, Metzen will official take the crown of 'Worst writer working for top tier developer' from Mac Walters.

warpgate really should be a templar tech level upgrade. its not a change that could be made in wol because you'd have to buff gateway build times and redo each races early game, but its doable for a expansion.pieatorium said:That new upgrade time is really a killer
you know how in portal glados said she had a black box that recorded her memory and forced her to relive her death hundreds of times before she was reactivated?Tet said:Can someone parse "I am the memory of you..." for me please? Oh well, I'm sure it's just a typo.
C&C started with snow iircTeknopathetic said:"I see snow/ice. WIN."
Is snow/ice ever not the first expansion to RTSs?
