Possible introduction of the Spectre as an actual Terran unit for multiplayer? They were sufficiently different from Ghosts (and awesome).

EDIT: It occurs to me that, given siding with Tosh is the cannon choice, there are also sufficiently more Spectres in the galaxy, and that some may not have agreed with Tosh's hatred against Mengsk - some may have even preferred the Dominion (or been rehabilitated to do so).

I don't think it seems Kerrigan was redeemed at all, looking at this trailer. To me, it appears she was just playing them for fools, and betrayed them. Nova sounds pissed when she's telling the others to "find Kerrigan", and they're armed with full combat gear despite there being no other enemies. I'm still convinced that Kerrigan is going to continue to be the Queen Bitch of the universe.

I actually loved Kerrigan's deinfestation, though that was largely because I hated her infested character. She can regain more Zerg attributes, but I really hope she doesn't go evil.

Do you just have something against evil characters?
If some people don't go evil, you don't have a conflict. If you don't have a conflict, you don't have a story.

I liked the Overmind as a villain. I liked the Cerebrates as villains. I like Duran as a villain. I liked Arthas as a villain. I liked Tichondrius and Archimonde and Kil'jaeden as villains.

I did not like Kerrigan as a villain. And I do like redemption stories.

Given the total lack of Zerg, I very much doubt it.

Because it leaked.

And actually looks kinda cool. I imagine the first portion of the story will be Terran-focused until the Zerg part starts.

I'm really fucking hoping that Kerrigan isn't running around with Jim tagging along the whole time, though... =S

Also don't really like her new design still.

Same here... I don't mind some Raynor cameo, but if he sticks across the entire campaign, I'm going to get angry.

As far as we've seen, it seems Raynor will be behind all the time, so let's hope coincidence on what we've been shown :S.

Looks like Kerrigan will be a heavy hero unit for this one

I called it. I knew that her being de-infested was essentially an excuse to start her off at "level one" so she could be used like an RPG character.

Could Jim and Nova be racing each together to get to her first?
Jim to check up on wtf she's been doing (sneaking off to reactivate her Ghost programm?).
Nova being a blonde Dominion bimbo trying to kill her.

I wouldn't say "Hispanic" per se, but she definitely looks, well, "not white", what with the brown skin and dreadlock-like tentacles.

Silly Europeans, why are you awake when the NDA drops?


So... what I'm getting from these is that Kerrigan is mostly De-Zerged and has lost her memory and there's a new Queen of Blades out there (probably related to the Dark Void) and she's leading some... heroic resistance of space bugs against her.

In fact, she outright looks like a female version of Tosh.

You kidding? Daniel Tosh is one of the pastiest people I've ever seen, and I've been in a sauna with Conan O'Brien.

Well, not exactly. Zag'ara, who tries to become the new Zerg Queen gets already crushed in the first mission. There is also another Brood Mother who tires to take over the swarm in the ice mission, but when Kerrigan finds her she's already dead.

So basicly the game starts with Kerrigan proving that she's still the Queen Bitch of the Universe.

She looks like Gabriel Tosh, but only a bit, and because of the outfit.

Overall it looks great, but there's 3 things I dislike:

-20 missions only: that's equal to the WoL 8h run D:
-Various missions in the same planet: less planets and less new tilesets
-No base like the Hyperion: briefings will be boring (I wish my idea: http://www.scrollsoflore.com/forums/...ad.php?t=13992 was true xDDD).

Whatever... the 20 missions thing really disappointed me, I was expecting, at least, another 30, like at WoL, or even more, to compensate for the lack of heavy game additions .

Who didn't, lol.

I mean, they even gave her amnesia... sigh xDDD.

WTF!?

The queens rule the swarm now, man .

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but HotS adds nothing to the multiplayer component of SCII.

I wonder if Blizz is going to charge full price for this? I mean, this is like, the first time they've released an essentially single-player only product since, what, Diablo I? Hell, even that had a bit of multiplayer, didn't it?
