Butters Stoch Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/11/13/starcraft-ii-heart-of-the-swarm-release-date-unveiled Blizzard has announced StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm will launch on March 12, 2013. The expansion set for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will form the second part of the planned StarCraft II trilogy, and introduce a range of new units in addition to a new campaign focusing on Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, leading a Zerg swarm against Arcturus Mengsk. Three versions of the game will be sold; the standard edition (available both digitally and at retail), the Digital Deluxe edition (only available online) and the Collector's Edition (exclusive to stores). While the standard edition will just include the game, the Digital Deluxe edition will offer a range of in-game bonus items for StarCraft II, World of Warcraft and Diablo III. These include three StarCraft II Swarm-themed Battle.net portraits, the StarCraft II Zerg Ultralisk “Torrasque” skin, a World of Warcraft Baneling Battle Pet, and the Diablo III “Blade Wings” item and Zerg banner sigil. Anyone who opts to buy the physical Collector's Edition will also net all of the above, along with a behind-the-scenes DVD and Blu-Ray, a soundtrack CD, a hardcover art book and Zerg-rush mousepad. Blizzard's Mike Morhaime said, "With Heart of the Swarm, our goal has been to expand on the multiplayer action and cinematic storytelling of Wings of Liberty. Combined with features like unranked matchmaking and our new leveling system, this expansion elevates the StarCraft II experience for players of all skill levels." Heart of the Swarm is available for digital pre-order now. Information on the concluding part of the StarCraft II trilogy, Legacy of the Void, is pretty limited but it's believed to focus on Zeratul as the game's main character.

Jai604 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I am pumped for this. I should really re-install Starcraft II and play some, but I just don't have the time at the moment. Maybe over Christmas break I'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive Threat Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I gave up on gold league a while ago when it became 4 gate rush rush rush and cheese every game. Proxy hatches, barracks, turret rushes etc. I liked late game maxed out upgraded mass battles but with all the cheese going on it never got there so I split. Will HOTS offer enough to bring me back. Probably not but who knows. Will wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Well I've caved and gotten Heart of the Swarm (physical copy ) , but before I touch it I'm replaying the main campaign on Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It had nothing to do with countering. Cheese ends the game early win or lose. Its an all in. I wanted late game. Top tier units and maxed out armies. Thats what I wanted and didnt get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think I quit playing right before the "Utter Darkness" mission where you have to defend against waves and waves of Zerg for a set amount of time (which I've completed on Normal). Now I doubt I have the nerve to pick it up after such a long hiatus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Maker Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just beat "In Utter Darkness" on brutal after two hours of trying. I'm so badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Trick Maker Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I forgot how rough that one was. It took completely forgetting my build order for me to beat it on hard yesterday. You good sir are truly a badass to do so on brutal. (You used the DT build didn't you?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
