Quote from AlexO6: GoSo, since the latest beta update, new things have shown up in the game's files. There is some new music from the campaign (6 tracks, all of them awesome, reminiscent of SC1 Terran and Zerg, no lame SC2 echo noises)
Interesting, you should put those up on youtube, just make them unlisted if you fear they'll get taken down.

The russians themselves datamined a few things from this latest beta version (images and music):

Still no portraits, though, I'm disappointed. If someone could post a picture of the new portraits either from the game's battle net menu or from the game's files, it would be appreciated. It would also be great to have pictures of the Kerrigan background and the Zerus background from the game's login and battlenet menus without any of that UI or those buttons in front. That would make for some nice wallpapers.
I have officially regain my fate in Hots. The soundtrack itself gived me a filling that I never hoped to feel it again from Starcraft. The soundrack is just epic
It looks like there will be some breathtaking cinematics. The plot is sure sinister, maybe there will be huge revelations, but not stupid ones like what they did with Tassadat and the Overmind in Wings of Liberty.
While I regain my fait in the campaign , I'm still disappont by the multiplayer since it doesn't bring any major changes to the gamplain and even if I'm not a terran player, it's still heresy to give terran only 1 new unit and an upgrade that makes a new unit an old unit.
There are also models for the ThornLizard, Zergling Fly critters which werent there before. Inside Protoss units folder there are 2 models called ProtossSnakeHead.m3 and ProtossSnakeSegment.m3. And inside Zerg units folder there's an evolution of the Mutalisk, called viper in the ion file (placeholder name for sure), which I believe wasn't there before the update.
Sorry if I don't post any pics, the editor gives an error right now so I'm using MPQ editor to view those files.
I like the stinger on the mutalisk, though it took me a bit to figure out what was different about it. I wonder if that makes it a melee air unit or something, but if it'd be cool if it had some sort of poison attack.
The Nydus wyrm in one of the shots is an old, unused model that's in WoL editor right now. It's just an unfinished beta version of the travelling Nydus Wyrm.
Great to hear the new tracks too. I'm really liking the Zerus ones.
Does aqnyone know where to find UI images, like the levelling avatars? There are some artwork never released by blizzard and they are very interesting.
AlexO6 AuthorSo, since the latest beta update, new things have shown up in the game's files. There is some new music from the campaign (6 tracks, all of them awesome, reminiscent of SC1 Terran and Zerg, no lame SC2 echo noises), and a new model or two, with some new images. I'll attach some of the stuff I found. Not found here is the Kraith textures and model. I've also spotted a model for a Cleaning Bot.
Also, anyone know where we can find the texture/image set of all the portraits used in the player profiles? Can't seem to find them and the game apparently has new portraits.
