btw game is $15 on Blizzard store for digital copy

How are the campaigns etc for these games? I have no interest in RTS multiplayer thing. And which one should I buy if I can get only one - WoL or HotS?

HotS is an expansion to WoL and it needs WoL to play,so get WoL
The campaign is awesome

Thanks, I have been looking for a good RTS and wasn't a big fan of Company of Heroes. Too bad AoE and C&C are dead. I will get WoL

Nope.WoL is required.
HotS only adds 2 new units each to all three factions And has a Single player campaign letting you play as Sarah Kerrigan/Queen of Blades(Leader of the Zerg Faction)

If you are a noob to the Starcraft universe,you can read the summary of earlier game here

It is only listing Hots, whats the case then? Due to my 10 GB/month FUP and daily dota updates, I am unable to even start the download of this :-|

This account is of someone else. I got this by trading. He told he bought hots, but hardly played it.

20$ for WoL? Interesting price. Btw, I'd heard that its possible for the full version owner of the game can invite players who are only on the starter edition of the game, is that true?

Yes.

You can't play sadly

It clearly says here that you need WoL

Sure.

And if anyone is feeling generous please gift me WoL :grin:

would buy myself but no CC :-(

Is this point-and-click? Or moving with WASD? If the latter, I'd be happy. Hate point-and-click, sorry.

Oh, I forgot this was an RTS, my bad. Got confused with Diablo III. Thought this would be like Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, I hated that game, even though they say it's very good.

10GB FUP?? Good luck downloading SC2 then. It's 14GB for the whole thing.

Spawn me too? :razz:

I tried installing the starter edition and the simply won't run after giving some weird error. Oh well, I guess another no-RTS year for me.

Never mind, just deleted the Battle.net folder in AppData. Downloading now, I can play the starter edition before buying it. I hope I like it - long time, no RTS

You will be restricted to only 1 faction btw

No problem, I just want to know if I like the feel of the game or not before I buy it

So my copy seems to have Wings of liberty as well as HOTS . Add me if you guys want to play

umm.. I forgot the user id. :-|

Got the WoL + Heart of the Swarm. The downloader is messed up - it is showing 1 MB/s and yet it shows that only 20 MB have downloaded in the last 10 minutes. One of them is wrong, and I hope it is not the speed or else I might be screwed :-(

The downloader worked fine for me. If you still having the problem, try Battle.net Beta App. And Install the game from there.
