Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Insider Information

Blizzcon 2010 also provided some great information about their new expansion for Starcraft 2…Heart of the Swarm. Instead of a Terran Campaign, Heart of the Swarm will follow the Zerg through their Campaign and is sure to include some cool upgrades and new (or old) units. Chances are it will be out in 2012 so don't hold your breath. It sounds like Blizzard doesn't even have the whole storyline quite nailed down yet. With the release of the expansion it's likely to change how the multiplayer component of Starcraft 2 is played as well, so the Terran strategies that you use today might not apply when Heart of the Swarm comes out (good thing it's a ways out)

Blizzcon Screenshots – New Custom Games and More

Blizzcon 2010 wrapped up and ended up providing a lot of new info about up and coming Starcraft 2 features. Blizzard has been working on some Custom maps like Left 2 Die, and Aiur Chef that look like they could provide some good fun when you’re not laddering. They aren’t likely to help your Terran vs Protoss matchups, but hey, even dedicated Starcraft 2 players need to take a break once in awhile right?

Along with those are some other screenshots of the interface and in-game. Source: http://sc2armory.com/forums/topic/20436

Change Your Battle.net Name For Free…But Just Once

Many players when they bought Starcraft 2 and signed up for an account chose a name they thought would be temporary. Little did they know that the names on Starcraft 2 are permanent and unchangeable. However, Blizzard recently announced that you can change your Battle.net name one time if you screwed up when you first created your account. Congrats! Whether or not this will help with your Terran strategy…only you will know.
