Yea, I was really surprised I had been playing this for over a week and I couldn't find a single mention of it on TeamLiquid. I believe it's been posted on SCReddit, this mod deserves all the attention we can give it IMO. If nothing else, it will encourage the creators to continue onto Brood War... : )

My thoughts exactly! It's too bad that few people seem to look at the Single-Player forum.

This deserves Front-Page treatment - even if only for a day.

Is the full campaign finished? Or just some missions?

This totally deserves a lot of attention :}

The entire "Rebel Yell" Terran campaign is done, as well as the "Overmind" campaign for Zerg.

Basically, 2 out of 3 campaigns from Starcraft have been redone with exceptional quality.

The depleted Uranium shell upgrade is bugged. You can research it as many times as you want, but it doesn't actually do anything >_<.

GRRR Yea I've noticed that as well. I wonder if it's related to the marines in SC2 already having the addl. range, or if it's just not working at all.

Yeah I was about to post and saying the music is bugged. It looks like it only plays through once then it stops.

Mission 8 of the human campaign has another bug too, you can take the control tower and attach the starport to it, but it doesn't actually work and you don't gain the benefit from it.

It's a good mod, got a lot of polish as far as production goes. I really like the hackneyed old school briefing screen and the occasional cinematics, that said, I think the maps could do with a bit of polish and some balance tweaks could be made to go along with the addition of medics/lurkers and the infinite selection/MBS/automine. I'm not saying it's easy, far from it, but it's a boring kind of hard- get wasted by a bot that switches from tank goliath marine into 20 cloaked wraiths attacking you in the next wave, reset, prep and then get killed by the next wave, reset etc. adding in SC2 style warnings like the air warning you get in the dig or similar would help. I think also revealing nearby expansions would help a lot, I always found it seriously annoying hunting down a place to expand in the original, especially since there were random specklings of enemies around the place not necessarily guarding expansions.

I really hope this turns into an iterated project, where people take what these guys have begun and add in polish, map tweaks, balance, new models, cinematics etc and in 3 years or so we have something almost as good as the new blizz stuff visual/gameplay wise

As an afterthought, is anyone else blown away at the contrast of amazing narrative/storytelling + kind of mediocre gameplay design in the mod campaign to amazing gameplay design + kind of mediocre narrative in sc2? Having them both in the same engine really sets it off for me.

What felt really strange to me was to have the Starcraft 1 music theme, voices and map of the original Starcraft on the Starcraft 2 engine. My brain was like "The sounds are the original game, the graphics are Starcraft 2, and the gameplay is neither of them: you are playing a major space-time disturbance!" :D

I noticed the characters' portrait doesn't have she "speaking" movements during cinematics. Is it only on my computer, or is there a technical reason for this.

Awesome job, looking forward to see The Fall!
