Heart of the Swarm teaser leaked, pulled

Blizzard accidentally leaked a trailer for Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm before it was pulled from DailyMotion. In fact, this was the second leak.

According to GameSpot, "The leaked teaser begins with what appears to be a team of ghosts infiltrating a secure compound. The ghosts make short work of a security retinue, before the group's leader issues the foreboding command: "Find Kerrigan." Her statement is, of course, in reference to the Zerg faction's leader, Sarah Kerrigan, who was once a ghost herself before being assimilated by the Swarm and set up as their queen.

The trailer then offers its first glimpse of series protagonist Jim Raynor, a space marine who is Kerrigan's primary love interest. With Raynor in hot pursuit, the ghosts gain access to a sealed chamber. However, that chamber proves to be their end, as a massive energy burst from within levels the room and destroys the door.

Raynor then enters the blown-out room, only to be greeted by a posterior shot of an individual that is ostensibly Kerrigan."

Since the trailer was pulled, with only a still here and there captured from it, we have to take GameSpot's word for it. However, this could mean that the trailer will debut next week when E3 launches.

Nice link - still valid. These movies more resembles an FPS action title then an RTS - but this as always looks really interesting.

Epically Short but if you would actually Look at it Roderick , you would start to Question every single second of that Video ....

including : Nova is there , So If i met her in my Playthrough of Wings of Liberty , does that Change ANYTHING.
Is Kerrigan Going to be a Ghost again ( The Suit She was in looked Ghostly )

Why is NOVA Hunting her ?!?!
Mengks Anyone ?

I agree with you BoneArc - several questions raised -and somehow they succeed in making me wanting to play the game - NOW! :)
It is though very short - and it is probably one of the reasons why it has been pulled, probably a first cut of something to be released soon - or at least I hope so...

I have only one word for this trailer: Meh... I am sick and tired of all this hype over a game which, in fact is merely a stand alone expansion that should have been out by now.

BoneArc looks like you're using Opera, because the same thing happens to me sometimes :) I post a comment and I can't see it until certain time passes. Try to log out, delete cookies and reopen your browser, and then log in again, you'll probably see the comments then :D

Bonearc, are you trying to spam ahead in the competition ;)
Yeah, the drilling I meant!

Well, don't expect the price to go down yet. After all, Starcraft 2 is one of the most anticipated releases in the decade behind us :) At least one of the most anticipated.

@BoneArc - I know man - just teasing you! :D
Read an article in the latest PC-Gamer SWE and they said that Heart of the Swarm would have more RPG-ish setup and also that Kerrigan would be more of a hero alá Warcraft 3 heroes.
