Immortal Nobody Onos My instinct tells me it would be a campaign only unit like in WoL. Who knows though, it is an expo and not just the game, they might bring in some units from WoL as well. If that's the case though, toss would get the short end of the stick until their campaign comes out. Unless they decide to wait till their expo to release extra units for MP. I also wonder if we'll be able to choose the menu if we own all three, so we can still use HotS menu when the toss expo is out, or the WoL one. Well, didn't Blizz want to go for stand-alone expansions kinda deal? So someone can pick up HotS and start playing without needed WoL? I thought they said that, but unsure if they changed it. If it plays out with stand-alone expansions, I can only guess people who have WoL get stuff for free when HotS comes out. But I don't think 50-60 is warranted just for a campaign...

Take Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars for example. It has an expansion called Kane's Wrath. If you want to play Kane's Wrath, you must have Tiberium Wars installed to play because it uses resources from the original game. HotS will not require WoL because it stands on it's own. Hence, standalone.

Hence, standalone.The problem with stand alone expansions is how they deal with the multiplayer. Will it be like Dawn of War and each game has it's own multiplayer? Either way, from what I've read, the HotS requires WoL to play, unless you are in a country that doesn't have HoS yet or something. They are also pricing it for an expansion. So if you want to play in America for the first in when HotS comes out, you need to drop cash on WoL as well. I think they're saying it's a standalone expansion in certain areas, but it's just a normal expansion everywhere else. Someone here posted something about it in another thread.

Quote: Q: Will Heart of the Swarm require ownership of Wings of Liberty? A: For the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, yes, Wings of Liberty will be required in order to play Heart of the Swarm. For other regions that have alternative access models, we’ll provide details at a later date. Q: How much will Heart of the Swarm cost? A: We typically don't provide details about pricing until the game is closer to release. We do view Heart of the Swarm as an expansion set, so for the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, we will price accordingly. For other regions that have alternative business models, we’ll provide details at a later date. The first bold/underline shows it won't be a standalone for regions that have WoL. The second one shows they are treating it as an expansion, and they usually price expansions cheaper than full games. Loner Of The Sky i doubt its just gonna be a campaign and they did say it will be 60$ for the expansion. im guessing there will be a few new multiplayer people 2 They stated it will be more than "Just a campaign", but I doubt it's going to cost $60, or even $50. Probably $40, $30 if we're lucky. Quote: Q: What are some of the changes made to multiplayer Heart of the Swarm? A: While we're not quite ready to go into detail about the new multiplayer content in Heart of the Swarm, we can say that this expansion set will include new units and new maps. We'll have more details about multiplayer Heart of the Swarm content at BlizzCon.
