Tons of new Single Player missions:
From: arstechnica

“We have missions where the lowest level of the terrain gets flooded by lava every five minutes—if you don’t get off low ground, you die. We’ve got missions where hordes of infested Terrans attack, but only at night,” Browder told Destructoid. “You have to hold off at night, and then during the day, it’s ‘EVERYONE GO OUT AND KILL ‘EM WHILE THEY SLEEP!’ We’ve got missions where you’re trying to defend an infested colony. We’ve got missions where you control a single Ghost, trying to change the tide of a war.”

Tons of videos have been released the past few days with SCII footage. The game has been playable since early 2005 and by-golly Blizzard thinks it’s almost ready for beta play. (Rumors are out that a few beta invites have already gone out to friends and family at Blizzard). Tech trees are also out and can be found here:
