liketires 19 pts

Hydralisk speed upgrade? Sign me up!!! All I'll need is my ling/roach/hydra spam and im good to go.

logancread 8 pts

Starcraft 2 you r my <3 (LOVE).I love Sarah.

AncientDozer 22 pts

Why is it whenever I see a starcraft unit, I always feel like I've seen them before?

 

. .  In other games. . and franchises.

moc5 63 pts

 AncientDozer because Blizz focuses on execution and quality over innovation.  That is why they put out so many good games.

SiNoNaX 5 pts

 moc5 Just like Diablo 3 bro...hahaha. That comment is no longer valid sadly enough.

moc5 63 pts

 SiNoNaX I havent given up on them yet, but you do make a good point in that I fear for the future.

Succumbus 90 pts

That hellion transformer looks badass. Too bad I don't play Terran (and never will)! Don't know about that widow mine though, one hit kills on colossi? Yeeaah.

 

Burrow Charge on enemies? I'm going to love seeing how Spanishiwa works with that one.

moc5 63 pts

 Succumbus HAHA! Im a Zerg fan myself both in 1 and 2. I think the balance in units is needed and what ive been bitching about...Glad Blizz listens. lol.

Bhemont 41 pts

I love ps3 commercial on a PC game exclusive videos... -_-

Detriiment 11 pts

That was an excellent interview.  Props to both the interviewer and the interviewee,

very informative and it pumped me up for HotS even more then I was before.  :)

EnDoThErMic 5 pts

I hope they take their sweet, sweet time with this because it's gonna totally screw all the dedicated players over when it hits.

Champ721 12 pts

Sure is nice having an interviewer that actually knows what he's talking about! I'm really glad he actually asked in-depth questions. This was a lot more interesting of an interview than I thought it would be.

Brendissimo35 11 pts

It's refreshing to hear an interview with someone who clearly plays a ton, instead of with some spokesperson who may or may not be that hardcore of a gamer.

Chefjase 16 pts

Yay! Only two more years or so till I can buy what SC 2 should have been...a complete game. I'll be buying at $60.

CoreMaths 7 pts

so the warhound cant fight vs zerg whatsoever?

kennyyoung6395 21 pts

New units usually means new balancing issue. I only hope for the best Blizzard.

Succumbus 90 pts

 kennyyoung6395 You can imagine how they felt when releasing WoL then. Balance will come.

george43 37 pts

HotS's campaign is going to be 1/3 shorter than WoL.

 

 

Blizzard isn't even trying anymore.

syler4815162342 60 pts

lol Yea the Background is something something!

REforever101 5 pts

so can we expect this game any time in the near future? or are we gonna have to wait another 12 years?

Succumbus 90 pts

 REforever101 Let's hope not twelve years. We all know what happens to games that take that long to make... Cough**DiabloIII**cough..

eugkra 20 pts

The Viper is exactly what Zerg needs vs collosus and Sisge tanks. They would obliterate zerg before. reaper health regen seem op but we'll see.

Succumbus 90 pts

 eugkra Gawd I can't wait to snag Siege tanks off cliffs. Tired of that as*hole Bioball Siegemode fast factory build.

BlackSheepWalls 5 pts

He hopes the beta hits very very soon. YAY only around 6 months to wait...

At least SC2 offered alot for 60$ and I still play 2vs2 with a buddy. SaddIy cannot say that about D3, which got borin extremly fast.(hope it can be saved with patches)

icestorm88 5 pts

The viper looks like its sooo cheap and unbalanced

icestorm88 5 pts

The spider mines look like a good counter to the banglings and its stupid acid kamikaze bullshit. I fucking hate that!!!

Master_Vexov 77 pts

Summoning jutsu when other races don't have it, strikes me as cheap.

game_gt3 7 pts

i have very mixed feelings about these new units. some of the old units are not even vialble anymore because of these new units added

 xxxLUGZxxx Hey LUGZ.....

SHUT UP!!!! you are probably one of those assholes. 

jermainecoles 5 pts

they should returned the "lurker" from sc1

PsyonicPlague 21 pts

 jermainecoles That would have been epic

ZestSubject 5 pts

I can't wait to see how these changes play out in the beta.

evaneself 16 pts

One question: Will be permanent internet connection?

m072802 46 pts

 evaneself

 Most likely it will be the same as Wings of Liberty - you have to sign in to your battle.net account, but then you can play offline, but if you want achievements you have to be connected.

jermainecoles 5 pts

too much upgrade for protoss here

jshmarcus 5 pts

I think there's a new spam on this expansion and I could think of Tempest Spam. I mean aerial artillery plus a observer scouting ahead of them. At a range of 22. Not even the terrans and the zerg could ever counter it as each production facility is being destroyed one by one. A group of 12 of these units is considered unstoppable. 

kukumav 29 pts

After the sh1tstorm of D3 ? No thanks.

iknowthepiecesf 9 pts

that was a stunning ghost poster on the back wall! i want that!

 

InquisitorCrox 51 pts

Same ol BS, the Protss will always be the most favored ones...

The Tempest better be super expensive, cause it really seems too OP...

blackwing55 48 pts

 InquisitorCrox I think the terrans where amazingly favoured from wol

cccp3000 12 pts

I'm buying this game for one reason and it's right there on the background. 

lazghale999 6 pts

wow evry things I sow them this name "sony"
