Mind, Metzen in the live stream I believe said that his favorite moment in WOL is the ending of it. So a cliffhanger of this magnitude to kick us in the groin and let us wait for the next campaign wouldnt suprise me one bit.

( Edit: Not actually the live stream afterall http://pc.gamespy.com/dor/objects/85...py_082009.html Mentions the ending around 3:05+ )

hes not infested inside his suit, atleast not visiably. just watch the starcraft 2 cinematic where it shows him getting suited up:

I don't think thats canon.

This says that cinematic uses 5 million polygons. This says it can take a year to make just an intro for WoW, the SC2 trailer was at least as long as one of those, you don't spend a year working on something with 5 million polygons to show it off for a big announcement and never use it again. I'm betting it's canon.

The cinematic trailer more than likely showed off bits and pieces of the final cinematics. It has to be canon.

It showed off part of the official "Old Rivals" cinematic, so at least parts of it are canon. I'm thinking Findlay suiting up will probably be in the game somewhere.

I dunno. He's still in chains, so it can't be when he's part of the Raiders, so it seems to be during his indenture period, which would take place before the main storyline of Wings of Liberty. Wouldn't be surprised if it's used as an intro cinematic, same as how the trailer for Brood War formed the basis of the intro.

I doubt it. As Hawki observed, he's in chains, so it's either from the beginning, or made purely for the announcement of the game. Unless, of course, it's part of an ending cinematic where Tychus has been captured and is about to be deployed to the frontlines on some suicide mission; a bookend-sorta deal for the story. My mind's just wanderin'...

Maybe a kind of flashback? We've seen new cinematics of Kerrigan being caught by the Zerg on New Gettysburg already, if how Tychus got out of prison is really significant they might put this in there when it's being explained, EX: Say Tychus is working for Valerion, and at one point is asked to betray Raynor if he becomes a threat. This could be a part of the mission when that realization hits us, as for all we know it could be prefaced by a conversation with Valerion.

I still think (extremely minimal proof) that Findlay was the "frozen guy" mentioned in StarCraft: Issue 3. (If so, Findlay could have been unfrozen as early as 2502.)

Given the suiting up, obviously he had to be lying to Raynor about how he got out of prison.

If he's being taken straight from prison to the marine suit then wouldn't it mean that he was released under the authority of someone in the Dominion?
