StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is an upcoming expansion pack to military science-fiction real-time strategy game StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, and the second part of the StarCraft II trilogy, the third being Legacy of the Void.

The expansion will include additional units and multiplayer changes from Wings of Liberty, as well as a continuing campaign focusing on the Zerg species. It will be priced as an expansion pack and based on hints from Blizzard likely to be released around April 2012, and very unlikely to ship before the end of 2011.

Hands up if you're going to play Terran.

Now take that hand and slap yourself across the face and repeat after me

"I will not cheese with Widow Mines"

Seriously... they were considering to make Widow Mines 1 shot kill for stalkers...

That aside, you reckon SC2 is gonna last 20-30 years? SC1 lasted 10 years...

Isn't this game from Zerg point of view?

**Master Razor** · 01.02.13, 23:25

That's just what I was gonna say. The campaign is locked on Zerg but you can play regular maps on any species.

Yeah what Master Razor said. The SC2 professional community is huge and some of those players make more than engineers lol...

Yes but I wouldn't like a life like that. Gaming doesn't relax you, especially when you're being ambushed by an army of aliens.

I doubt I'm gonna play this anytime soon. Gameplay is too short and the time between the expansions is too damn long. Maybe by 2017 we'll the end of the trilogy..

I used to feel like that in team games because it was frustating with a huge difference in skill levels between the players but once I started playing solo games it became quite fun even when you did lose, it's the adrenaline you get which makes it addictive(similar to martial arts). And for your case, if you play the aliens you can always been ambushed by a bunch of men
