I have to agree wholeheartedly, the SC2 map editor is garbage. I wasn't even trying anything fancy, all I did was place a bunch of units and then I wanted to add a few simple triggers (something that I am quite familiar with). In the end I gave up, I don't want to waste so much time on learning how to use this thing.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I already made a (much more polite, bullet-pointed) post on their forum about the subject of the editor. No response, of course.


i never considered blizzard to be a company that would disregard the wishes of its customers until this sc2 beta...what happened to them that they are making sc2 like a command and conquer game...it LOOKS nice but it has so many glaring flaws that they claim are "fine" such as the high ground "oh it makes sense this way"-browder despite that its clearly broken and also the holy trinity and the entire hard counter system...they also have weakened units such as the archon to make them useless except in a handful of situations...what is blizzard doing i feel at this point as though a sc2 promod may actually be needed for the game to be truly successful and i dont want a split community that would result from that TT


Stop being a sheep that eats alive every pretty long posts with images in TL. All these things (high ground, marauder/immortal/roach, "hard counters") have been discussed to death already. People at TL are constantly looking for things to blame at SC2. The "problem du jour" at first was MBS and Unlimited Selection, after that when people got bored of it, it switched to the "hard counter problem du jour", then the "serious discussion" thread popped up after that with those 3 units. Hard counter came back. Now the lastest trend is "micro is dead".

Can't wait to see next month's big sc2 problem.
I hate the post below mine because it feels War3-ish.

Great blog post, 5/5. Hopefully, they make mods for the SC2 editor that fix the shitty presentation.

I think what's more likely to happen is a dota-like clone will appear and steal much of the userbase like wc3. But not much telling right now. The expansions could change quite a lot.

This is one of the most substantial and interesting blog postings I've read in the past year overall on TL.

I read every word, when I started reading there were no replies, now there's 22.

The sounds/voices are terrible in general. I find myself annoyed after 3 games with terran over the scvs, I feel like punching somebody in the face every time he says "In the rear with the gear!" for some reason that voice and others annoy me. Sounds in general are not as distinct and epic. the sound of a siege tank sieging in Sc1 was literally insane. It meant death, it meant destruction. When you hear that sound it became sort of a signifying sound of epic destruction. Sounds of tanks sieging in Sc2 isn't unique or epic in that way and doesn't seem to draw that "oh shit" reaction from me. Nothing in sc2 draws that "Oh shit" reaction and I also seriously agree with the Vulture/Reaver argument. Perhaps the most strategically deep units in sc1 replaced with units that are very linear and shallow. Units that require simply attack moving, and units that are unaffected by terrain of the map. Colosi just walking over the map requiring no unique control or creativeness.

Wow. That was a good post. StarCraft 2 is worse. Though the people who are going to buy it mostly won't even understand how good BW was and will think SC2 is still pretty awesome.

This is a very excellent post that addresses some very real issues. I particularly agree with the sound one. I could not believe it is so much WORSE than BW sound. Sometimes the BW sound effects don't get noticed that much, but I started to better appreciate it when watching progaming games, when the ob view is suddenly changed to a FPVOD perspective and we suddenly hear the sound effects of units. That was AWE-INSPIRING. I was like HOLY SHIT I NEVER KNEW BW HAD SUCH GODLY SOUNDS WTF. If SC2 were just another random video game its sound could pass but I mean this is the successor of SC1. I wouldn't dream of having it surpassing it but at least give us something comparable.

Have you looked at the Civilization modding community? It's very active, and Civ 4 was designed to be fairly easily moddable (or so I've heard).

Anyways. I admire your dedication to modding and how much effort and time you've invested into it despite the problems. I played around with "modding" a little with C&C Red Alert but otherwise cannot say much about your comments on the editor, except that your example screenshots comparing datedit and the sc2 editor are pretty striking in illustrating the large difference in interface between the two.

On the subject of mechanics though, I entirely agree. I'm not very excited about SC2 at all, and part of it is because of the things you mentioned - how a player's skill can get a tremendous amount extra mileage out of the same unit (not merely just a little extra utility). As well, the immortal, in particular, nullifies what would have been viable options from other races, and the marauder is such a no-brainer choice in every situation that's powerful and not too fragile...

I really liked the part about the editor I myself did a little bit of playing around with Sc1 custom editors(not much) but I could still pull some things out. The Sc2 editor is just a clusterfuck of mess. Really good post except really the part about reavers/colo/mines doesn't really fit in as everything is really just about how bad the editor is.

Honestly I've never played Civilization much less modded it, but I've heard a few times about the modding community. If this doesn't pan out I might check it out to see what else I can do with my time (I'm gonna be waiting for Titan Quest's sequel and maybe try X3: Terran Conflict).
