Find this page, where they put some things related to Mission Pack 3
The latest mission pack puts players in control of Nova’s new units, including many new art assets and locations.
Players will explore a mining planet, a highly detailed city, and sleek Terran technology
Takes place at the “pinnacle of Terran tech”
Assets will be available to the modding community
New cutscenes will explore motives and intrigue, with new lightning and other effects for a more immersive experience
I am most exited about the space platform mission though, it looks like you might get to control a gorgon battlecruiser!

Stranded on Krydon Renewed- A renewed version of Stranded on Krydon that is being constantly updated, has improved visuals, is more friendly to new players, lots more fun tweaks and much more planned to come.
Any word on whether or not we will be able to open the maps themselves?
They will release it after mission pack 3 is out. They confirmed it in their recap post shortly after Blizzcon.

Along with the release of the final chapter, we’ll deploy all of the Covert Ops assets to our editor so our amazing Arcade Community will have even more tools at their disposal. We look forward to seeing these once Mission Pack 3 goes live.
Yeah the assets are already available to mess around with in the editor, I believe, unless those are just there from the first 2 mission packs (some of the screenshots from earlier in this thread have assets that I've been using in a map for the past few days). I'm more concerned about the maps, since I want to see what their terrainers did for level design and what doodads they combined to make their environment convincing.
I was about to say they could just disable the Test Document function in their maps, but what's preventing a mapper from just copying everything he sees into another map?
Yeah, if you don't have access to the dependencies, you can't see the maps in the editor. That was why I was puzzled to begin with - the Nova DLC was the first paid content that customers couldn't study in the editor.
I like them a lot, actually. I just hope we'll have the capabilities to manipulate them more than we can with the asteroids and whatnot that we've seen before.
New stuff revealed by Blizzard. Particularly like the BC that can attack multiple targets, will give me a chance to do some interesting units, pretty recalling Red Alert 3 Sickels (Ironically one of the few good, original units pf that game, per say).
WORKING SHREDDER CONFIRMED IN NOVA COVERT OPS PACK 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be sure to check out the extension mod: Hots Custom Map support on NA and EU, Despite the name it greatly expands the roster of options for the default 3 races and is updated all the way to NCO.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they did not add the shedder, or made a new unit that looks like a shredder but is not actually the shredder.

Alright, that sounds interesting. Im on board with more complex atmospheric effects.
They will release it after mission pack 3 is out. They confirmed it in their recap post shortly after Blizzcon.
So far they talked specifically about the Assets so we might not get access to the maps, but who knows we're just 6 days away from pack 3

Maps won't be open source isn't it obvious? What's the point of selling content if you'll be able to play those missions in "test documet" mode?
I was about to say they could just disable the Test Document function in their maps, but what's preventing a mapper from just copying everything he sees into another map?

Obviously those who don't own nova dlc wouldn't see it in the editor. Same with WOL,HOTS and LOTV maps...

By the way by "assets" they don't just mean art assets, because those are available already.
What they mean is all the good stuff inside the Data Editor like Abilities for example
Also has everyone seen these? https://assets.vg247.com/current//2016/11/NovaIII_Nova09Map_TF_08.jpg https://assets.vg247.com/current//2016/11/NovaIII_Nova09Map_TF_03.jpg
For me thats the most interesting terrain so far, i wonder if it's part of the background model or separate models set at a low altittude

The Shredder is in the editor since LotV. I've seen it. Just look for "Shredder" on the moels tab.
