I shall update people on the SC2 Leak and the new units that will be coming!
Those of you who are too lazy to read it or can't.
Heres a break down...
SC2 HOTS will cost the same as Wings of Liberty.
Zerg are getting lots of new units.

For those of you who don't want to watch the full hour+ video, here's the gist of the interview, in a nutshell: General/Lore:

There won't be any Cerebrates, instead there are Brood Mothers. Cerebrates all wanted the Overmind!
Raynor will side with Tosh and the Protoss from WoL.
There will be 20ish new missions in HotS.
There will be new Multiplayer units. They may also change or remove WoL Multiplayer units.
There will be a Multiplayer Beta again, that will last somewhere between 3-5 months.

Mapping:

They're talking about doing a Co-Op Campaign, eventually.
The Map Marketplace will come either alongside, or shortly before Heart of the Swarm.
More work on the Popularity System will be done, but the features coming with the Map Marketplace should help our problems a bit.
They can and may roll out Ladders and their Matchmaking System with certain Custom Games in the near future.
The UI Editor is coming around HotS, as well as a lot more new features/changes/additions.
Adding a Water mechanic is something they're talking about, but currently have no plans for.
Adding a way to have different colored creep is something they're talking about, but currently have no plans for.
There are no plans to support maps bigger than 256x256.

Zerg Evolutions

Like I said, for those curious, here is a list of the possible evolutions:

Zergling
Metabolic Boost - Move speed +33%
Posthumous Mitosis - 20% chance to spawn 2 Broodlings on death
Rapid Genesis - Instantly produce Zerglings
Raptor - Leaps at enemies and +10hp
Swarmling - Hatches 3 Zerglings instead of 2, for no extra cost

Baneling
Vicious Discharge - Goo sprays at and slows enemies by 25%
Centriugal Hooks - Move speed +25%
Rupture - Splash radius on death +25%
Splitterling - Splits into 2 smaller Banelings, twice, dealing less damage
Gorgeling - Reduces Units/Structures into collectible resources

Roach
Chitinous Plating - +1 armor
Bile Ducts - +2 damage
Organic Carapace - +2 life regeneration
Prowler - Move while burrowed
Leech - +10 life per kill (up to 6) and heals more rapidly while burrowed

Metamorph
This isn't a confirmed unit, though it is something I picked up while watching Kerrigan talk to Abathur. After completing the "Silence Their Cries" level on Kaldir, Kerrigan tells Abathur that she needs a Metamorph, "a creature that gathers biomass and fuels its own transformation." I suppose we'll have to wait and see for more information.

I liked the story of SC2...

So did I. It was a good one, though the multiplayer was probably the highlight.

Meh...
Never liked RTS games multiplayer unless i can pull a sneaky tactic...
I loved C&C Red Alert 3 for that...
