coming from somebody who has played bw for over a decade, let me inform you on what people who share my idea think: this is fucking brilliant.

please, find corporate sponsorship. push this. this can become so gigantic, words cant even explain. i am definitely telling all my kr veteran friends about this. holy fuck i cannot believe how good this is.

definitely spotlight this. this is something that can change sc2 forever, if done properly with corporate helping. beautiful work.

It is incredible surely, but I fear that it will split the player base again.

Can't even believe how well made this mod is and with all the options you can turn on and off.

Do you have any youtube channel casting some replays?
I'd be nice to watch some games when at the office :D

Just wanted to say it looks amazing and I hope you keep working on it so it's as close as can be to Brood War.

The Dark Swarm animation is kinda iffy; very distracting.

I'd also love to see some casting of this! With moderately+ skilled players.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but if you open the hotkeys menu after you've played a sc2bw game the game crashes, so you have to restart your game after you've played this since you have to change back your hotkeys to the sc2 ones.

I don't have this issue on NA client. I routinely swap my hotkeys back and forth for SC2 and SC2:BW though. It might be a localized client issue, or a problem with the EU upload.

Anyways, I'll be around today to put out some decent level games on stream (C on iccup before SC2, gotten better since then). Played vs a few guys who claimed they were B-, beat a few, lost to Saracen =P

Pretty cool. I was going to join but they're playing team/FFA games right now. Maybe later. BY THE WAY, they figured out how to turn-off auto-mine (lol,) so as far as I can tell it's pretty much straight-up Brood War now (other than the 3D engine.)

I've played this mod and its a ton of fun. I wish more than anything i could get those zerg sounds back in sc2. Music, unit noises everything feels so much more 'evil' god damn I miss it. I'd be willing to risk TOS and mpq edit to get them back..

Do you realize what you just said? If this is how SC2 should've been like then why make a SC2? Please shut up with that useless comment.

@Map , yes it looks damn awesome. I'm impressed.

My utmost respect to this awesome piece of work!
I am astonished at peoples capabilities when they are able to channel them into work they are emotionally connected to.

Thank you very much!

Really awesome mod, I'm really impressed that it got completed! I remember reading a lot about it in the custom maps forum but I stopped following it. I don't think I'll play on it, but I'll definitely try to watch some of the streams when I can.

Hey guys, was definately a lot of fun streaming

I will try and get the stream verified one more time, hopefully over the next few days the more we stream the more of a playerbase we get and we can have lots of fun ^^

Thanks for supporting the map as usual, and thanks to maverck for its creation of this awesome mod

I added an FAQ at the start also

I just dicked around with Mutas and oh my god...

Why is their attack method not the same in SC2. It's so beastly in Brood War!
