During an Activision Blizzard third quarter 2012 results call it was revealed that Heart of the Swarm, the next installment of the three-part StarCraft II saga, is scheduled for a first half of 2013 launch.
Quote:
The multiplayer portion of Heart of the Swarm is currently in closed beta testing, and features numerous new units and mechanics for the Protoss, Zerg and Terran armies. A substantial single-player portion will also be included when the expansion is ready that focuses on Kerrigan and the Zerg.

I feel like SC2 after 2 year of playing it is forgotten by me. Custom maps are not even close to WC3 era. Almost everything good i a carbon copy.

Don't give up just yet, there is still an influx of new custom maps. You might find something you like in the Arcade; keep checking it every now and then thumb.gif
