Blizzard actually did a whole lot with HOTS not just new units but all the extra stuff they did for people to make custom maps sooo much better not too metion they're making a moba style game free for people as well called "blizzard dota' and from the looks of the cinematic an awesome campaign well worth $60 imo...........qq more though it's cool

No No No No

just a low low price of 40 dollars!!!
What were you expecting, honestly? New campaign, new units, new art, new music - these things cost money. It's not like this is a $15 DLC pack that adds 3 new multiplayer maps and 1 unit per race.

If you don't play online I can see balking at the price, but that's like buying a Call of Duty game for the single-player experience. With that being said, there's an unranked matchmaking mode in HotS, meaning you can play in an almost zero-pressure environment: no points, no rank icons, no win/loss records, etc.

For the number of hours people are liable to sink into this, $40 isn't a bad deal at all.

Admittedly, multiplayer has been scaled back a bit since they first demoed everything, but each race still has a handful of new units that open up new build orders. If they went too crazy the whole eSports side of things would be in limbo for a while until "balance" (Blizzard balance, at least) is achieved.

Even if you view the multiplayer changes as more of a DLC-style addition, there's still a 20+ level campaign attached. Again, how many hours do you need to put into a $40 game before you've gotten your money's worth?

But it is bigger than Buildings.. Maybe this is the FLagship of Mengsk which makes it quite bigger than standard battlecruisers.

Hmmmm As far as I can recall when they were escaping Mar Sara. But We did not have point of reference of it's size aside from Mutalisks.

So fom the Trailer's perspective this is about the size of the ALienship in Independence Day???
