Threads on TL are closed whenever one comes up, but this is the leaked heart of the swarm trailer.
Apparently this shouldn't be shown until the 31st of May but it's amazing and I'm sure it's not the full trailer so I thought I would share it first.

At the end of the trailer you see the SC2 Logo with Purple fire behind (zerg creep color). Very very very zergish cool.

Hahahaha I was *JUST* posting this! SO SICK. SO SO SICK. NOVA!

[SayfT]

they close it for a reason there on tl, blizz can come down on mofos if they be posting leaked info, specially if its community members!!!

[Dox]

It's moreso because TL is closely affiliated as a Blizzard fansite. sc2sea isn't. :P
Besides, we're not the ones hosting the video. If they want it removed, they should contact youtube.

[Azure]

wow looks good thanks for sharing

[Meatex]

they haven't contacted youtube because they don't want it totally removed. They want people to think they want it totally removed. Ask yourself? Who in their right mind would risk a job at blizzard to leak a 45 second teaser that is going to be out in a week anyway.
This is just a tactic to build excitement likely for when the full trailer - maybe even with some in game footage comes out E3.

Though tbh I can't get excited after the massive fail campaign of Wings of Liberty. wtb real writer please

[Dox]

It's a video game bro. Remember when games didn't even have stories, voice acting or cinematic video? Your expectations are way too high, stop taking things for granted!

stop making excuses dox
games didn't have cinematics or complex stories because of the technical limitations of the time
Those limitations are gone so there is no excuse especially given the time and money sunk into wings of liberty
Not everyone has standards for the games they play but I and many do. Gameplay was awesome but if blizzard spent less time trying to emulate "cool" movie moments - without actually understanding what makes those moments cool - less time loading the game with memes and more time writing even half decent characters and dialogue you would have a game so much better than it is.
Not even going into those fail "choice" moments TT blizzard could have made this game truly amazing but they took the wow route

Making excuses? I think the words you were looking for was "logical opinion."
The rest of your post is rubbish, sorry. If you're looking for a deep story, there's plenty of movies and books out there for you. If you're looking for an entertaining game to play... hey, look who's delivering.

[Aean(:]

i never played the wings of liberty campaign -_- so trailers dont mean much to me when i dont know whats going on :P

[Eddie]

Brief, but looks cool!

[fur]

Meh I kind of liked the Wings of Liberty campaign. The story wasn't amazing, but I think they did a great job of creating the feeling that you were inhabiting a living breathing universe. It felt like life went on outside of Raynor's ship.

Will the expansion mean new units in multiplayer?

[noobinater]

There are people who care about SC's single player??? :S

I loved the single player. Played out the campaign before going onto Multiplayer.

This actually reveals heaps about the storyline.

+ [Storyline Spoiler] +

Its kinda clear now why kerrigan goes back to being a zerg after Raynor turned her back to human. She was forced to, because the dominion still wanted her dead. We can assume this since kerrigan is standing in the science lab from WoL, and Raynor was rushing to her, as if to stop her from doing something. Why did the dominion STILL want her dead? Well, Mengsk had been trying for ages to kill her (Tychus Findlay), and didn't actually achieve his goal while she was zerg. Also, the dominion is portrayed to be similar to the confederacy, in the way that they are meant to be complete assholes. Which brings Kerrigan on an even more recent revenge storyline with Mengsk, leading to the death of Mengsk. Yes, I saw the leaked ending as well...

Yes, but we don't know what they are, and won't know for a pretty long time, it seems. All zergs are hoping we get our lurkers back, or SOMETHING that helps the mechanics in us being a reactive race, rather than a guessing race.

I know how you feel!

Three things I want:
1) Lurkers
2) Scourge (army just of suicide bombers!!!)
3) Air burrow units.

Are we allowed to drool over what may or may not come in this thread
(Clearly stitch has already

You're saying because game didn't have good story before (perheps you are referring to 8 bit era?) that developers shouldn't bother doing story today? How is that not making excuses for poor storytelling?
Not only is it unfathomably incorrect I could speed the next 30 minutes just listing games that do an amazing job telling a story.
But lets look at red dead redemption or uncharted 2. These were both games aiming for that similar blockbuster style. (i am referring to story telling) those games are awesome because they have really well developed, written and interesting characters.
If decent story isn't important to you then so be it - i did say in that post that not all people hold such high standards.
But calling my post rubbish and your opinion logical is flawed. You're entitled to your opinion however the logic you explained is out right wrong. You could have said anything along the lines of "story isn't important to me at all because I just want the gameplay" thats fine.
However saying my post is rubbish and only your opinion is right or even logical is plain retarded.
My point was the game's single player was a massive failure to me and any others who enjoy good storytelling and characters as part of the game. I'm not one of those in it for the achieves guys so in order to keep playing and feel anything I have to be interested in the story and the characters.
You can say all you want that games shouldn't have story and in response i just say Heavy Rain was ******* awesome so stuff your "logic" up you arse and get with the real world.
More time spent on this game that any movie and a similar sum of money why shouldn't I have high expectations?

I think blizz made it clear they were not going to add BW units into single player, only in campaign.

[iMSystem]

I want buff to Marines tbh

But I want the BW tanks and Vultures too :O

[Meatex]

they have even hinted that they may not be adding any new units to multi-player
It may come in the form of a redesign of the current units ~.~?
I want to see more army colour scheme and other customization. Just for decoration. It would be nice to have individual players have tonnes of options not just with colours but cool add-ons to each unit. How cool would it be to be able to tell white-ra just by seeing his unit colours and stalker armour for example
and customisable portraits
none of these awesome things will be implemented but still

[aztecx]

I want lurkers. I feel that lurkers are the equivalent of tanks and would also add the same type of mechanic to zerg that terran are required to use. (Burrowing/unborrowing lurkers and sieging/unsieging tanks.

[Next_rim]

I want a usable drop mechanics for protoss. Warp prism needs serious work-over.

[nGenLight]

I don't understand then fathom with Lurkers when the Marauder would just hard counter it. Don't burrowed banelings kinda serve the same purpose?

ray im curious did u play BW?

[Meatex]

there is almost zero chance of lurker coming back unless they remove banelings
They already tried to have the lurker in and said in testing nobody was using and favoured banelings
Then again nobody uses hydras so maybe they will get put but end up being super lame :P

[AlphaWhale]

Kerrigan, Nova and Raynor confirmed for HoTS. I'm so teased, Blizzard.

[TAhackdZ]

Don't know if anyone else has seen these yet, but looks like some nice chap managed to leak some screens of HotS.

Looks like there will be a bit of customisation in terms of how you want Kerrigan to function. Power up her Ghost/Zerg abilities. Not sure if the RPG element will really fit, but it sure looks cool.

If you guys don't already know then I am spreading the news.

With heart of the swarm coming up blizzard have created a page with much more info and sneak peeks into the gameplay of the mission so if you would like to have a look go to:

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/hea...swarm-preview/

There are 2 trailers on their page with the first being the leaked trailer everyone Should have seen by now. The second trailer however is a mixture between the first leaked trailer and the GAMEPLAY of the missions.

There are also other videos on YouTube where some people have been invited to blizzard to play a few missions and then commentate after what they have shown you. Here is one by crota that has the first leaked trailer a the start them followed by him/gameplay:
