Wasn't TFC originally a mod too anyway.

Valve seems to have a habit of picking up mods.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Valve likes to let other people do the work for them.

Steam, workshop, mods ... people just make stuff and Valve cashes in on it.

I blame you guys for linking a flame-bait blog by that guy.

Come on, one whole chapter on camera and claiming that free camera is not good imho from a supposedly RTS player.

Was Broodwar really that timeless? As far as I know, people have been making new maps constantly that kept the game going. Would the game have survived on the same maps for all the years?

no, the original broodwar ladder maps were awful. Also because they stopped balancing the game at some point the game was balanced with maps by the community.

That's what I was thinking. It's not timeless, it requires constant updates like DotA for example. I think fps or fighting games are much better examples of timeless games.

The Warcraft III map pool was incredibly stale and suffered a bit from that I believe. They possibly could have balanced Blademaster if they changed some creep camps mb.

It's kinda puzzling how ssbm is so timeless when there are such clear tier distinctions between the characters. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about

its also what people expect of a game to be. i.e. broodwar was never even close to that part of balancing where every unit had a purpose. the protoss scout was stupid, the infested terran a joke and valkyries super situational (like one in a hundred situational). later in sc2 they tried much harder to not have gimmicky or straight out useless units in the game, something i think the community demanded as well.

so if the players are content with a certain state of a game (i.e. tiers of characters / balance of units and/or maps), then the game will reach a status as "timeless". even though the same players will probably criticise another, newer game with similar "flaws".

They made him very strong by changing creep camps in the first place when they wanted to fix lightning shield.

I still love Turtle Rock, easily the best map ever created and I don't see how it could ever get stale. So beautiful and turtely. Suck it orcs.
