I don't have it personally, but I've played on a friend's account who did. I think I spent the majority of that time making Warhounds, because they're just so good.

Blizzard, why you nerf :(

There has been for a month, but it's a closed beta for now.

It's a game with three races. If you're Zerg, you do baneling rushes. If you're Protoss, you do DT rushes. If you're Terran, just select all your barracks, rally them to the opponent's base, and hold A.

Lol leafy. I like to do that sometimes, but more in 4v4 because the enemy team gets even more pissed. Even more fun: Have two terran proxy rax, while one zerg 6-pools and the protoss cannon rushes another opponent. Another alternative is have your entire team cannon rush.

I'm not able to play the beta either, but I saw some gameplay videos and heard some great things!  Actually, because of the amount of time it takes for me to be a teacher here in Russia, I'm only going to have time to play on the campaign, so I'll probably use a guest pass and cheat code my way through the storyline.

I personally never liked campaings in strategy games, because I prefer having the freedom to build anything I want. On top of that my least favorite race to play is terran, which kinda turned me away from the first campaing. I might eventually do the same or try to defeat it in easy mode, though. Thankfully too the HotS campaing features zerg.

As for multiplayer I hope those oracles get nerfed or something, because they gotta be by far the most annoying unit to defend against. (They're the unit that prevents you from mining anything for a long while btw)

Or make 3 protoss cannon rush while one zerg produces Roaches :P
