There's a bug with the weapon, you must target air units, but everything in the game is ground, so you can't kill anyone. It's also impossible to bring the flag back home. In short, the game has become unplayable.

*hipster glasses* Been playin these sniper maps years before they invented "locks" (it means you're allied to your enemies and have to "A-target" each attack).

I might be one of the few people who actually liked the way it was before locks lol -- over the course of a game the more skillful would still win (there were advantageous angles you could vie for; teamwork owned noob-locking), but it was sometimes okay if you misclicked (granted mice sucked ass back then lol). Typing wasn't a death sentence, so you could sometimes find some casual games which could be relaxing - locks is always intense and extra disappointing when you die.

I didn't mind playing Bald in BW. But BW also had a lingering vision mechanic which was awesome to set up traps with. I guess the mines, vision-things, and decoys make up for this though.

Are unit status bars (the secondary hp/mana bar above a unit's model in the game field) disabled - to hide Ghosts that are hiding under trees? It definitely makes sense to give advantage for hiding under a tree, I just feel like it's a tad strong in some areas where there's a bunch of trees lined up in the next frame that you're moving into. It it extremely effective at preventing movement...

And on that note it generally just feels too difficult to take an enemy flag - I'm almost never in a situation where both teams have the flag. Perhaps this is a little more realistic than it was in BW, but maybe for un-fun reasons - not that standing around is really all that fun to begin with (partially why Bald was so popular I think).


Confirmed, newest unit killing oldest 100% of the time is well-documented:


However, this only applies to units that begin attacking from out of range. Since you don't automatically begin attacking even when you are in range, a lot of the time the two units are definitely within range of each other when firing commences. Most people still not using z to unlock their camera prbly has something to do with it too, as well as units no longer holding a lock when the target disappears into fog (like they did in BW). Also most people will hit their shield or invisibility on engage which prbly often nullifies this max-range new-unit-always-wins thing.

I do like the campaign raynor snipe thing, that sounds completely interesting from a gameplay perspective. However, part of the allure of this game is nostalgia - if you change the attacking system I fear you risk upsetting some core fans.

can you change the "unlock camera" hotkey to something else? I use grid hotkeys so I cant use cloak/whatever and unlock my camera.
