StarCraft II players will get four officially sanctioned mods for the real-time strategy title created by Blizzard, new map types that turn the sci-fi war game into a Bejeweled-like puzzler, a co-op survival game and a DotA-style multiplayer scenario.
Blizzard's Mike Morhaime announced at Blizzcon 2010 today that four new mods are coming to Battle.net: Auir Chef (yes, that's "chef"), Left 2 Die, StarJeweled and Blizzard DotA. Auir Chef combines cooking and killing in a battle for the title of "Executor Chef." StarJeweled adds gem-matching gameplay to the energy gathering, troop building mechanics of StarCraft II.
Left 2 Die adds a "new co-op take on the StarCraft II campaign mission 'Outbreak'" and Blizzard DotA — which may actually be known as Blizzard All-Stars — appears to be an outer space spin on the popular WarCraft III mode, Defense of the Ancients.
All four mods are playable at this weekend's BlizzCon and will be released to the StarCraft II community, for free, via Battle.net in the coming months.

(I'm looking for official stuff from Blizzard as well!)
Firstly, I hope this means they fixed that ridiculous input delay so shooters (like mo'fo'in' Project Vector in all its awesomesauceness) can actually work. Because if they did that, it means Project Vector will get released. And then I'll probably explode. Not with emotion, but physically explode. Into bits and pieces. Oh god the carnage. Somebody think of the children!
Secondly, DotA started on SC. Get your shit straight.
Can anyone at Blizzcon get some time with these and post about them? L2D and BAS sound pretty cool. Starjeweled is a game I have on my cellphone so meh...and the cooking game sounds pretty hardcore.
