If I have the Heart of the Swarm extension pack installed with my StarCraft II, will the Wings of Liberty campaign be affected by it? (I.e. new terran units, new upgrades, etc?)

I don't mean for the plot to change (because that would obviously not change), but is there anything different between playing it with the extension pack and without?

  • A good question! I imagine some of the new UI features might change the experience slightly, but I'm not sure.

  • Would be fun to have custom game where players use the campaign units in an otherwise normal match even though some of those units are OP

you have the new UI features (workers per mineral patch, change on the look of attack commands, etc.) since they got implemented in WoL too. However, I have not noticed any changes in the units as all the Terran units are Campaign only (marauder don't have stim, medics, banshees with splash, etc.)

  • And the enemy won't have jumping banelings or swarm HoTS!

  • You get the new UI features without buying HotS, though.

A short answer to your question: Your WOL will not be affected by HOTS in anyway!

(The only changes if you will, is the patch released prior to the release of HOTS - this is not due to HOTS as it was a patch for WOL)

There is no difference at all, whether you play with, or without HOTS expansion.

    As Atlas point out the only changes will be to the interface and a few minor tweaks how minerals are gathered that are shared between the current WoL patch and HoTs patch. This includes all interfaces outside of the actual match gameplay also.
