EPTI like both games, I still play both equally, I right now am on a cruddy computer and would like to practice some SC2, and I thought running some remade maps would help.
I search the forums and only found this.

If you really want to practice SC2 by playing BW, I suggest you just play against the computer or something. The maps don't really matter; it's just the macro and unit control. General RTS concepts still apply. Edit: You got my 400th post! :D | ||

As others have said, there is no real benefit to playing on BW ports of SC2 maps, though there is a bit of fun novelty to this concept IMO. Although I plan on making thread once I feel that I made an adequate set of poorly-made maps, here is a preview of my project: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ITphd.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ggtVr.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/j0oXe.jpg) Yeah, they are pretty shitty, but I'm proud of my babies  | ||

Also, practicing BW as a ghetto way to practice SC2 is silly. Maps like these would be for novelty. | ||

I was considering having a contest with $5 per port good enough to use. Also, practicing BW as a ghetto way to practice SC2 is silly. Maps like these would be for novelty. Hehe, I hope none of my maps make it through, as it would pain me to see good players die to my terrible positional imbalances and leaky wall-offs. | ||

Fine, I'll say they are for novelty. I would still like to have them. Maybe I can write a program that automatically converts s2 maps to bw for those that want it ? I think sc2 maps are just xml if I vaguely remember. Thanks for the replies, great thread :D | ||

It's fine, Zerg couldn't get the third either way :D You should post the originals along with the ports, for comparison. I'm wanting to run a tournament of ports of Xel'Naga Caverns Metalopolis Tal'Darim Altar LE Terminus RE Daybreak Antiga Shipyard Sin Peaks of Beakdu I mean Crossfire Maybe Crevasse as well. Or whichever I can get, but preferably the tourney maps instead of the sillier ladder ones. I'd be okay with that version of Shattered, though. Shattered really highlights some of the bigger oddities of Blizzard map design, especially when changing the rocks to a more obtrusive blue temple. | ||

I played a UMS map which was a SC2 to BW port ( I can't remember which ) , where the player added a trigger to give vision of the map when a unit stepped around a certain area ( like xel naga towers ) was pretty cool. | ||
