Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm released last week, and TomTom pressured me into buying it despite my hangups on paying for what is essentially a campaign expansion. It of course included extra multiplayer units ala Broodwar, so even strict multiplayers like me get motivated to pay up again. My first actual non-beta game was a "Left 2 Die" game mod based on defending against waves of zerg. Once we got seige tanks up and running, it was very satisfying to see them rack up kills, but I still feel empty about buying the expansion. The new units aren't all that hot, and at this point I'm sure I'll be destroyed in any multiplayer game I join.
