Just a quick reminder to everyone that Blizzcon will be taking place in a week. While we doubt that we will get much exciting news regarding HoTS, we should get more screen shots and videos though.

The site is a little late on the last two patch notes. I will get those posted up today or tomorrow.

Enjoy the nice day!

There have been a couple new things HoTS related over the last month.

First off, at the Gamescon 2011 event in Europe next month, Blizzard plans to have a playable version of Heart of The Swarm there for gamers to try out. We’re betting it will be about the same progress as last time we got word on things or maybe a couple more missions.

There has also been a new gameplay video for the two campaign missions found on the web.

For Wings of Liberty, we will be seeing new maps on the ladder soon as Ladder Season 2 comes to a close. The leagues are already locked, but you can still try to boost your MMR (Matchmaking Rating) or get to the top of your division. The ladder reset will be coming (along with the usual temporary downtime for the online servers) on Tuesday, July 26th. With the new ladder season, North America will now be linked with Latin America, increasing the player pool.

As for our polls, here are the results from last time. Almost the same amount of people buying the regular game will be buying the Collector’s Edition which is surprising.

The newest poll asks about the new campaign style for Heart of The Swarm. Some people like the decision of having Kerrigan as a hero unit that stays with you, while others prefer the regular style of solely focusing on your army to accomplish objectives.

The new poll will run until September since it started late.

Well here you go guys. Lots of good details about the Heart of the Swarm campaign right here.

Personally I’m really looking forward to the different evolutions of your units. Sounds like you should be able to have a lot of fun with these.

Happy New Year’s everybody!

We’re looking forward to 2011 as Wings of Liberty’s content grows (maps and an upcoming content patch) and Heart of The Swarm looms at the last part of the year.

Speaking of content from Wings of Liberty, our last poll asked what you guys thought about the maps that are on Battle.net right now.

People do seem impressed with the quality at least. And that speaks a lot to how much the community has been able to do with the full editor over the last 5 months.

And we hope you have fun with StarCraft again this year as well!

So we’ve all been pretty busy. We’ve been keeping up with the patch notes but that is about it on the site. We’re not sure when or if work on the campaign walkthrough will continue since there are so many well done walkthroughs already online. We will eventually get to work on a better version of the SCII unit pages. But for now things will probably stay the way they’ve been going.

That being said, we will be working on a Replays page soon. Send us your StarCraft II replays on our forums. We’ll credit you and get them on the site.

Here are the results from our last poll back in August.

The majority voted that they really enjoyed the campaign. We’re glad to hear it. There’s been no word yet on Heart of the Swarm, but it should be coming late 2011.

Our next poll asks you about the multiplayer custom games on Battle.net so far. Are you impressed with the maps that have come out or disappointed?
