From sc2legacy:

TheProgramer
Hate how you can only turn the camera view by holding down the Insert and Delete buttons? Wish you could change it without having to holding down these buttons? Well today's your day! This is how to change your view permantaley! Take a look:

QUICK: Turn off Num Lock and press and hold the 'INS' or 'DEL' num-pad button (the ones that also have the '0' and '.'). While still holding down the 'INS' or 'DEL' button turn on Num Lock. Release the 'INS' or 'DEL' button.

DETAILED: Go into a game, turn on Number Lock off and change the camera view by pressing and holding the 'INS' or 'DEL' num-pad button (the ones that also have the '0' and '.'). Now turn Number Lock on by pressing the 'NUM LOCK' button while still holding the 'INS' or 'DEL' button. Now release the 'INS' or 'DEL' button. - Your view is now changed and you no longer have to hold the 'INS' or 'DEL' button to keep it that way!

UNDOING: To revert to the normal view turn Number Lock off and change the camera view by pressing (and not holding) the same button ('INS' or 'DEL' num-pad) that you used to change the view in the first place.

So I figured this out during the beta, and havn't really used it, but I have chosen to try it for a week and see if it changes my game at all. I'll report back at the end of the week!



In other words, you can get that picture always

^ reminds me a lot about SC1:
- old-rotated extractors
- non-symmetric Hatchery
- top view on evolution chamber

Looks okay visually but the minimap and map layout would trip me out.

Yeah that would be cool, and it wouldn't give any player an advantage over the other.

I would like to see this as well.

Now artosis doesn't have to tape down the keys for his joke plan of always playing rotated ^^

Sadly, that we dont have rotating minimap, like on some RTS games, like "Emperor: Battle for Dune" or "Battle for middle earth"

This would make my brain hurt.

I am curious to see how this turns out.

I actually might play legitimately like this. Seeing a battle from a side is a lot easier to compare and see if you can take it on for me.

yes it's dumb. I wanted this for custom maps at the minimum, but it's no-go at least for a long time.

Since the game is designed to be played with the screen in its "natural" position and that blizz didn't intend for people to be able to permanently rotate the screen without having to hold a key down all game...... it makes perfect sense that the mini-map doesn't rotate...... it shouldn't need to.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.
