So will Earth be featured in this ? I was a little disappointed that we didn't hear anything regarding Earth in the original game. In fact, even during the recap while installing, the game did not refer to anything Broodwar at all.

I keep going back and forth about whether I should keep my reserve of the CE or switch to a regular edition
When is it starting?
Interesting.... I didn't really feel like buying the game since I won't be playing much MP and only wanted to see the story (even though I, very likely, already know the ending) but this has me interested now.Um small forces of UED to hire in the game? And

It started a few minutes after I posted that and ended a bit afterwards. It wasn't anything special, though the packaging for the CE is pretty awesome.
Oh...

I feel like a complete idiot right now with this new interface. How do I create a Custom game against the AI on a map that I want and a difficulty that I want?
Edit: Never mind, found it. You have to select the browse option and then the Create game appears. Sorry, missed it.

Why hasn't Blizzard made a full length movie yet?

Didn't stop other movies such as Transformers or Resident Evil from being made did it?

Their cinematics team is the size of an entire dev team at Blizzard, and they still don't really have any time to spare. That department would have to quadruple in size to even think about doing a full length movie.

Its also just not financially worth it. Probably much easier to just contract the rights for the IP to hollywood and actually get a good director to do it.

So quick questions about hots. When I open the SC2 launcher it reads "Downloading files for an upcoming patch". It is about 6GB of data. You can check on it when clicking on Connection Information on the top. Is this the pre-download for HotS? Any info?
I don't know if it contains all of the data for HotS or not, but the latest patches to WoL are incorporating nearly all of the new battle.net features that are being included in HotS, and you'll even see tons of references to HotS in the interface. If anything is being excluded, I would imagine it's only the campaign/unit data.
The 6GB patch contains the new Battle.net in HotS and the engine upgrades made for HotS. The actual HotS units and campaign are not part of it I believe.
Isn't it the other way round: patch 2.0.4 and 2.05 give you the new UI, and other engine upgrades and bugfixes.
The aditional 6GB are for HotS only
I have mixed feelings. I played WoL hardcore from beta to November 2011. Barely touched the game since. Not looking forward to facing players with new strategies, and learning new units lol. Basically, I'm hyped but feel like I've missed so much and I'm gonna suck
If you suck, you suck
its fun learning new stuff and strategies as it makes SC2 feel fresh again. It's really hard to go back to WOL again after spending 5 months with the hots beta EscapingJail

Pretty much this.
Also I've been offering for awhile to help new people and previous players back up to speed.

Aside from school shit ive been playing sc2 everyday. I feel the itch. It's mostly because I played lots of beta. Also grinding out single player achievements made me interested in single player again.

Campaign mission doesn't give you EXP, but almost everything outside of that gives you it. Vs AI, Coop vs AI, ranked/unranked ladder matches.
