Just so people are aware, you can do essentially everything with a starter edition, minus campaign and 1v1 ladder.

If you are partied with a realid(?) friend that has HOTS, you can ladder teamgames with that person at the same expansion level.

It doesn't have to be a realid friend afaik, at least I've been boosted to hots from wol by grouping up with random people in the arcade.

Maybe I'm just in the multiplayer mindset, but wouldn't the SCV reactor help get your economy up faster than the auto refineries?

The expansion's basically 'Starcraft Does Dawn of War II', isn't it? One of the major systems for it reminded me a lot of DoWII

Speaking of which, there's a pretty good map that remakes DoW2's last stand gamemode.

Looking at the trailer, that power armor looks like it's be like 50 times worse than plate armor to take off/put on again, so they probably just stay in it. Hell you could probably just lock all the joints and sleep standing up.

Also it seems like hanson still had some control left after being infected, didn't that only happen to kerrigan because she was psionic?

Cutthroat, because we need to find out more stuff about our lady shaped robot buddy.

Also I think you forgot to show off the armory animations for our new muta destroyer.

I don't think love stories are at all a bad thing in video games in and of themselves, but Starcraft was not written as a love story, or to even have a love story in it, and Metzen deciding to make that love story that wasn't there the focus of SC2 was a very bad decision.

You can see similar phenomena happening in Warcraft, with characters derailing left and right.

I think Metzen would honestly be happier working at Bioware these days.

I don't even play WoW anymore yet I know about jaina having a 100% chance of turning evil at some point after the big bad nuked her lovely little town, since the game needs a new big bad.

Nope that's a screenshot from the HotS Intro cinematic and it shows about half a dozen Ultralisks of similar size. The in-game models of many units and structures are simply scaled down for gameplay purposes.

We'll meet the biggest offender of scaling down near the end of Wings of Liberty in fact; a certain Zerg unit that we'll talk about when it shows up.

e: I found a thing that shows a bunch of units to-scale. There might be a few minor spoilers for units that we havn't seen yet so consider yourself warned.

Yup and according to that game Arthas, the Leader of the Scourge is better than everyone else in the Blizzardverse.

Yet can still be beat up by a little panda girl if her team has punched more things than his team.

Also doesn't the nerd in the science area have stuff to say yet?

And even then, touhou is pretty much an entry level difficulty bullet hell, mainly because it's based on beautiful patterns instead of random rear end bullshit :v:

Speaking of which, someone remade a touhou level in sc2 way back.
