The campaign is incredible in StarCraft and StarCraft: Broodwar, if the entire thing, including miision briefings were remade in StarCraft 2 we would have to rally Blizzard as a community to patch it in officially.

I think Zerg and Protoss campaigns should be done first, because we already have been playing SC2 single player with terran only (with some toss). I think it's really cool to see this, but would be even better if you numbered the missions so that we knew exactly what mission # it is for that race and also is it from SC1 or brood war? Anyways I think it's a sweet idea, but a numbering system would be appreciated because then other people can also work on SP levels and you can make it so other mappers can avoid making the same map over. Would be great to see a compilation of these maps in the future for a complete SC1 campaign in SC2. keep up the good work.

also how does the tech tree work? Is it like marverks BW mod? Maybe you should team up with him "copy" what he did and translate it into the campaign for a flawless SC1 remake.

Thank you for all the comments. To answer a few questions:

Stop hoping for a full remake of the campaigns - it won't happen without a dedicated team working for months on it. Unless you want a very simple conversion, without adding anything new or making the missions feel more like the SC2 ones.
Just remaking the terran campaign would take me about a year, assuming my way of working 1-2 hours every odd day. And that's also assuming I already have clear and thought out concepts for all the missions that just need to be "put" into the editor.

The decision to remake the terran campaign first was made during beta, when the editor mostly had terran tilesets, decorations, doodads, etc.

SCReborn was supposed to use MavercK's BW mod, but we never got to implementing it. I didn't do it with my maps because the data editor is a nightmare for me. And I don't necessarily agree with extreme stuff like making supply depots 2x3 or redoing the cliff mechanic (those are important for a melee map, not so much for a campaign). These two missions use only basic units, so I just rearranged and cleaned up the command cards to fit SC1

You have done some incredible work. I hope you continue to do this, maybe you could even motivate blizzard to help you out if you post it on the battle net forums.

ive just tried the campaigns and indeed they are quite gud! i do hope you can get more ppl involved and maybe even blizzard. who knows maybe theyd be keen to help you out? itll b great if they can provide a more refined image for the conference background (before the start of a mission) and i bet they can sync the mouths to the words spoken perfectly.

It would be so great if we could play SC1 and BW on SC2... I wanted to play SC1 again but it just looks so iffy on 1900x1096^^.
