But moderators tend not to follow the letter of the law/rule in all situations. If your purpose for creating the thread is valid and doesn't come off as an attempt at (unnecessary) advertising -- they will allow it. Most of SC2BW's major features were already implemented. The mod wasn't going to progress much further without some playtesting. The fact that MavercK worked 2½ years on this, and mostly stayed confined to his own thread during that time period also helps. I'm sure Starbow and OneGoal would be allowed to do the same kind of advertising once their mods reach the same level of polish and completion. Unless, of course, it happens to come off as pure advertising (i.e. there not being a huge difference in the mod's state of readiness from 3-6 months ago when compared to the present). | ||

SC2 felt good like a year ago. But now? 2010 was bad cuz of the maps and the low level of play 2011 and early 2012 were great, maybe not golden days of BW great gameplay wise, but still friggin great. Second half of 2012? Are you kidding me. | ||

I understand that most of the people that are still playing are either denying that SC2 is less exciting to watch than BW and have their heads buried far too deep in the sand to even consider trying it, or they have already switched back to BW and are not interested in mere mods. With the player base polarized this way, and the abysmal mod discovery features, the current situation is understandable, but it doesn't make it any less unjust. It's practically a crime if all this hard work doesn't get the proper recognition it deserves. Here's to hoping that some major organization (nudge nudge, wink wink) throws some spare change to host a small exhibition tournament in it, like the SC:BW segments in the last TL Attacks. | ||

Giving an option means that everyone will play with unlimited unit selection (because it's easier) and so nobody would play with the limited unit selection. Other than that, sc2bw is looking great! Keep up the good work. Actually, 99% of the games I have played or spectated have been on BW mode. Most people prefer BW mode, anyway. It is more than likely correct that BW/SC2BW would not be balanced with SC2 mechanics, but I do not think removing the option is necessary. Once implemented, ranked play can just be under BW mode. This still allows the more casual players to play with the BW units without affecting the competitive nature of BW. No harm done. It would be nice, however, if the default mode was BW, so we do not have to change the 3 settings every single game. | ||

a widely spreading game must be friendly to beginners.easy to use,hard to master. it's 2013 now,not 1998.most people played sc2 2years or more,who really wants a 12 limit? | ||

Maverick, Kabel, and us have a very similar goal. The thing is, we all have very different ways of going about this goal. The plot thickens. In any case, I disagree about the 5 unit productions requiring 5 reinforce times. The reinforce happens simuetaneously, so if you are counting time until a remaxed attack, it should be 5 production cycles + one reinforce time. | ||
