Don't care how old it is, this thing looks phenominal!

OMG SC GHOST :O

OMG ONE OF THOSE 2D FIGHTER GAMES, WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I already see myself wasting countless hours working on some remakes of my old maps.

I even have some insane ideas for some new maps... I only hope I can figure it all out.

/giggles with glee

You remember testing some of my crazier maps (albeit, unfinished), right Qit & Ryan?

 

[Renzokuken]

Hell yeah dude. Can't wait to test your shitty maps again!

 

[coRtALoS]

>:-(

 

[CerebralChain]

Ok, I'm totally going to start making maps again! World of Starcraft woo!

The new map editor is amazing to say the very least. I can only imagine what the SC fan base will come up with. I'm positive not even Blizzard could conceive some of the things that will become of their game.
I hope the editor won't be too scripted base as to where people who don't have a lot of computer skills will still be able to have fun in the editor without being too overwhelmed. I know this could be an easy problem to overcome if Blizzard decides to make a "Lite" editor.

It's pretty much what you got in WCIII with some new features.

They had the sniper games in WCIII, and it was fairly similar. The editor will be pretty straight forward for most people, and wil be extremely powerful for anyone that wants to go further into it.

As far as I know, it also supports C code. That makes like, anything possible. Hard to learn, though. Good thing that it resembles the W3 editor. Can't wait to make a TerraTron as some sort of boss. You'd have to fight it with Tauren Marines, obviously. ^^

Hmm. If the delaying thing happens again, we can expect yet another april fools unit. It's almost worth waiting for. Almost.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Oh god, C is probably the worst thing they could let people use. Gonna be a lot of memory leaks and broken maps.

 

[Aurora]

My guess is that it will have some sort of build in checker for that.

 

[Aurora]

Ah, found it already. It's supposed to be "similar" to C.

Yeah, I don't know jack about 'C'. But I'm sure I can play around with it and make, should I so want, some dec. maps.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Well I would guess it won't have a lot of the methods to fuck up as C does, but WCIII managed to be nothing like C (I think) and people still managed to make maps with really bad memory leaks that eventually just had the entire game crash.

all talents will be put into dota thus stopping all progression of mapping in starcraft 2
