Looking good so far.

Really look forward to making Kerrigan a Ghost type combined with commanding a legion of swarm. Glad Blizz is going this route to open up multiple playthroughs. Now just please come out soon!

March 12th release y'all.

Preorder from Amazon.com and you'll get into the beta.

I'll probably just buy from Blizz and hold out for a beta key to come through one of these days.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

Just preordered digitally from my Blizzard account. Really looking forward to get back into some SC action. We need an OS team!

I'm up for one more play thru of the campaign before release. People on the interwebs like to knock the campaign storyline but I thought it was pretty damn good. Ready to rock Kerrigan in the expansion as she is up there as favorite video game characters of all time.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

Yeah that would be fun. I only got a few games with OS people when SC 2 launched but it was always fun. Can't wait for this one.

Interesting article about path finding from the original SC dev. God those Dragoons were a nightmare.

Getting back into SC II just in time for HotS. I am terribly rusty but I did miss this game.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

Dragoons and Goliaths. Always great when you're just moving units and you get an alert that your unit is being attacked. Then you see one of them wandered off to the opposite side of the map, nowhere near where you wanted them to be just because they couldn't find a route.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

Anyone in for Tuesday? I'm preloaded and ready to go but then again I've bought every Blizz non WoW release since the first Starcraft.

Been playing some Wings of Liberty, but I probably won't get into HOTS at all until this weekend.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

I don't know how in the hell I'm going to play this between The Show, Simcity and one other PS3 game, but I'm sure I'll be getting it on release day anyway and will find time somewhere in there.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

Logged into SCII for the first time in ages today and got Kerrigan's mug on the loading screen instead of Raynor. It's coming...

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

I've been doing some comp stomps with a friend to get back in the swing of things. can't wait to try out the new units though.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

Yeah I've done some warmups with the AI. Might give the matchmaking a go but first want to get into the campaign.

Re: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm

Digital version is live if you go to your profile on the battlenet website. Battle.net itself seems to be down for planned maintenance just before the release.

Edit: or not...clicking on it downloaded a 50 MB launcher, but then just threw me back to the SC2 login screen (and again, Bnet is down so that's no good)

Edit 2: Now it's up!
