Anyone know if someone's taken the UI features from SC2:
MBS
automining
no control group limitations

and put them into a mod for BW?

I think it's pretty much consensus now that SC2 is at best only an improvement because of the improved UI and possibly the improved AI. Otherwise BW is way more interesting. Has anyone taken that to its logical conclusion and created a BW2?

Am i missing something? Show me this consensus that SC2 is only an improvement ui and ai-wise...
Other than that i've always wondered what would happen if someone used the SC2 map editor and made Brood War, haha.
To follow the path: look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master.

I would say that some people actually dislike the MBS, automining, and no control group limitations in SCII, saying that it "noobifies" the game too much. (up to debate, really; you can't really call it consensus)

And I think it would be much more plausible to create a SCI mod or map for SCII; changing the interface of BW so that a hatchery could have a drone auto-mine rally and a rally point for fighting units seems ridiculously hard off the top of my head :X
